Replacement knobs are fairly cheap and abundant. You can upgrade to a digital automatic one if you like. In anycase (when you have a new one) there is a brass ring that you turn to take it off. Pushing in on the front flat part of the knob toward the pipe will help to turn the ring.
Really? I didn't know that?! Super cool and thx for commenting! Do you have any more info on this (something I can read somewhere)?
Also... I don't know if I ever will have an opportunity like this again... I would love a feature like I had in RIF (Reddit is Fun), and that is to be able to collapse all child comments in the comment section! It removes a lot of clutter and you can then expand the child comments when you want more on that topic. I use Jebora for lemmy for reference.
Very true. Lemme is reddit... Or how reddit was when it was good. They liked reddit then for the same reason I did and why I don't use it and why we are here.
It's more about people most people don't know who are here unless you tell them rather than you're data being secure. A different feeling then when posting with your real name and with all of you irl friends following you
- hey - PlexSheep - wrong phraseing maybe from me. I don't want to play semantics with how Anonymous is it is... But yeah, it is not 💯 anonymous so that is clearly too strong.
On here I have no friends, no connections, and my irl name is not attached to my account. So closer to anonymous than for example Facebook. It's harder for just any user to track down things about specific users.

lemmy is nich but not advanced nor hard to use. I like it because it's super simple. The point has nothing to do with Germans being able to use lemmy, but rather they did not start off using other programs or apps (z.B. MySpace Facebook) in the 90s and early 2000s as soon as other people like Americans. When these apps started they were great and had no negative feelings to them. When Germans came around to start using them in larger numbers, they already had negative issues. So they never started with these apps like others did in other countries. This is likely very different for you, as you are much younger. All of this stuff existed already when you were coming into adulthood.

sounds like you have a great friends group. I also have many experiences with German people who speak English very well... As well as many who can't. I have both English and German only speaking friends. I spoke nearly zero german when I came here. It's hard. Cashier at rewe, anyone working at Bauhaus, nearly anyone in the small town I was first in. Some cities aren't much better. Some of my employees speak zero functional English and they are young. There is nothing wrong with that, but there is a big difference in Germany and somewhere like Holland.
To try and answer the question of why so many of them. Please note this is broad generalizations:
-
german people have large privacy and date security fears. This has kept them off of many other platforms. Most people in my friends circle never had a MySpace / Facebook... Being in an anonymous space like here is nice.
-
they also are and have been technologically behind in many ways. Bringing them slower to other platforms that they would have started off on, making it so they didn't use any. Ignorance and fear of technology and privacy fear combined with being technologically slower meant they were going on other platforms in a time when the platforms were getting known as "bad, mentally harmful, data mining & selling machines".
-
English language skills are lower in Germany (outside of Berlin). Many tourists don't see this as they go to touristy things (hotels, attractions) where they speak English. It is easy in platforms like this or reddit to be in a German speaking bubble. People who speak lots of English like their neighbors the Dutch, would more likely just post in English as everyone can then understand it.

Herding... Snails?! I only know one snail, and she doesn't get herded anywhere.

There is a lot of good books (or audio books) I could suggest. This has been also a interest in mine. The reasons are different and also the same. Many of the top comments touch on some of the points.
Hey Pete,
What helped me with the same problem and others is to act like it really mattered,cause it does. For me I ask myself "if I were to get 20 million $£€ if i did this perfect for a year, would I." then try and act like it. If I were to give you this money, you would not forget your bags at home. You would always have them when needed and in a quality that wouldn't rip easily. Act like that. Then it will quickly be a habbit that you won't have to think about.
Save yourself and never talk to Germans about these folding measuring sticks VS the auto-rollup kind. If you make this mistake, just ask them why they are called "inch sticks" in German and not "CM sticks".
Super interesting, I would assume California has a good amount of electric cars? But where are emissions from cattle / other farm animals / agriculture?
I've had it a number of times both in the states and in SE Asia. It's different but it is really good. Like yeah it is a different coffee and if you judge it to the same criteria as a coffee style that it isn't, of course it will fail. If a "good coffee" needs to be aggressively acidic with strong notes of papaya, pineapple, Maracuja...this is not that. It is very smooth and subtle and that is what makes it nice and different.
With regard to German-occupied Europe, historians highlight that governments were acutely aware of the implications of their complicity, and that the general population, to varying degrees, were usually not aware of the implications of ghettoization and deportation.[6][7][8] Governments such as the Vichy government in France have been posited to be acutely aware of their complicity with the Nazis' genocidal policies.[8] With regard to general populations, the overall consensus amongst historians appears to be that many were aware of a hatred towards the Jewry, but not insofar that a significant comprehension of the Nazis' genocidal policies was reached.[6][7] - Wikipedia
Is this a ad for them? Cause it feels a lot like a Ad.
I had one of these. My mother in law gave it to me a couple of years before I married my wife. She said it hadn't bloomed for _ long time _ years and it only blooms when there is love in the house. I don't think she thought it would bloom but it had clumps of flowers in a couple of months. I think it just needed more light.
