Born in Wetzlar and Goethe being there as an apprentice at germany's highest court - we had a lot of Goethe at school. Better make this when our family was again in Wetzlar for some weeks I had to read all the stuff the classmates read in a year in 3 weeks... Goethe's Faust ->Paradise lost gogo 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,512 Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Milton -> Whiplash Monday at hospital because the car behind me was old and had way weaker brakes than my company car with its ceramic brakes. I was forced into an emergency braking at 120km/h when the car on the right lane before me with a trailer was hit by side winds on a high valley bridge. And all I got at hospital was tea. Milton is a tea brand here. But I think they had Teekanne at hospital. One week not allowed to work but to relax at home. p.s.: Luckily I had a headrest installed fitting for my size. I managed to stop 10 metres before the sliding car with a family. The company car's inner frame is massive damaged. Think company will write it off. 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,512 Posted May 18, 2023 Share Posted May 18, 2023 Tomorrow -> car The control test after three days wasn't showing anything new. Recovering is fine. Company car is beyond repair. Tomorrow I will spend the time at a car configurator. Electro seems still a bit too early. I need 600+ km range with 500+kg load at a speed of 180+km/h. I have to transport prototype tools to customers and the tools are heavy. The 180+km/h because with this speed I can do test install and with problems I can drive back with the tool same day. The advantage of the diesel beast was that it had customized brakes and strengthened frame for the load. 1 Link to comment

Popular Post chattius 2,512 Posted May 21, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted May 21, 2023 yee haah -> sayings 'Mal Hü und mal hott' has the meaning of 'to blow hot and cold'It means giving confusing commands to an horse. Our horses used to move trunks are trained to; Brrr = stop Hoaa = forward Hü = left Hott = right So the saying is that you shouldn't command a horse moving a trunk with quick following hü and hott confusing the horse. In a not horse related way: don't change your opinion everytime. 1 1 Link to comment

chattius 2,512 Posted May 23, 2023 Share Posted May 23, 2023 Gerund -> Brother Grimm Understanding a gerund is impossible. We had gerundium and gerundivum at latin classes. In German there is no direct equivalent. Jakob Grimm tried to define a gerundium in German. While researching for their dictionary of the german language they collected fairytales Quote The Deutsches Wörterbuch was begun by the Brothers Grimm in 1838 and the initial volumes were published in 1854. Unfinished at the time of their deaths, the dictionary was finally completed by a succession of later scholars and institutions in 1961. 1 Link to comment

Axel Schulz was way better than Foreman but money interests made Foreman the winner. Foreman refused a refight. Then Schulz was fighting Botha. Botha was winning but he was proved to be doped with high antipain drugs. Again Schulz wasn't declared the winner. Was this time when I decided to never watch a box match again. 1 1 Link to comment
