  • I hope Germans are smarter than that. Also, Daniel is not the most German name they could have found, I am sure a Klaus or a Reinhardt would have worked better. Unless Daniel is an American employee conceived in Germany by his parents and the tagline refers to him.

    Also, here in Denmark and in Italy Coca-Cola relies on local bottling companies who would surely lose volumes, but those would be also freed up for local or do-good alternatives, such as Fritz Cola (which is very good in it’s zero calories version) and Gaza Cola (yeah, that’s probably never gonna happen in Germany, but still a good example).






  • I haven’t ordered from Amazon in years so I don’t know how better things got, but I remember exactly why I stopped, and that’s because of the variety and convenience of ordering literally anything from smaller e-commerce sites in Sweden, using Prisjakt to discover the best products.

    What my way of shopping differs from most people who order from Amazon is that I don’t want to be “inspired” to shop. I shop only what I need and for that I want the best, based on specifications and maybe the few detailed reviews made months after purchase that I may find for some products.

    When I see a shopping platform using words like “inspiration”, “season” and “for you”, my rectum clinches.




  • I am talking about Europe now:

    we need trains. We need to unify the rail systems (rail width and electrical tensions) and the ticket systems. Europe could be easily served using a network of night train routes.

    I think there should be way more political discourse about rail in the EU, but, for example in Italy, airports have been used as electoral campaigning devices.





  • No.

    They are all terrible movies, with droid-like performances, plot holes the size of a Sarlacc pit and effects and fight choreographies as pointless as the little pistons on the exterior of a surrogate hand.

    Mark Hamill should be ashamed of agreeing to participate in them, even more to compensate the fact that apparently Ford cannot help himself from doing it here and in the Indy movies.
