chattius 2,512 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 trial and error -> balance Parents allways have to find the right balance in allowing mistakes so kids learn and preventing too big mistakes which would cause permanent harm... And it is even more complex the more kids you have, you allowed your oldest, considered it a mistake and not allowing it to following kids. Or the other way around, you were not allowing it to the oldest but with better parents skill you would allow it to the younger kids. Link to comment

chattius 2,512 Posted September 29, 2021 Share Posted September 29, 2021 fish -> Macropinna microstoma We call it Glaskopffisch (glass head fish) , English it is barrel eye fish. It belongs to the family of spook fishes. Watch the video. It is a really funny fisch. Where the eyes should be are nose holes, and the eyes are big barrels with big green lenses pointed upwards. All is covered by a thin skin which is like glas. When the fish is brought out of it depth the water pressure destroys the skin. So it took quite some centuries to know how funny this fish really is. 1 Link to comment

We here in Hessen are very polite but also lazy. From The Hessian->English dictionary: Hä ? ... Excuse me Sir, could you please be so kind to repeat your statement. I couldn't hear(understand) you well Sadly when I visited schools outside Hessen no teacher understood the 'Hä' or that it was a very kind question.

Our third discovered it in the barn again when corona started and public libraries down. Golem in the gears Egress was when evil com-pewter could change reality and locked the heroes. He did several guards from what he thought the heroes would fear. 'I fear the egret with his big pointed deadly peak' 'No his wife is even more deadly', so com-pewter created the deadly female egret, an egress. Piers Anthony -> Prostho Plus Bought 13 times, to all the dentists in the list of friends, not that we have bad teeth, first semesters dentists and other docs share classes ;) The universum has anything, except a good dentist. So Aliens seek help on planet Earth. Satisfied by the good work of a terran dentist they didn't pay but kidnap him. He is sold from planet to planet as a slave whenever a very important alien needs dental work. Finally he is allowed to the space academy of dentists and rescues the universe. Link to comment

Delta! 985 Posted October 4, 2021 Share Posted October 4, 2021 Mom's SUV -> learner. I learned to drive with my "mom's SUV" had to sit on a pillow to be able to see over the dashboard. My dad taught all 3 of us at very young ages. On dirt roads where there was very little traffic and the only thing you might hit "eventually if you manage to get that far are the wooden-wire fence posts... we would drive only in first gear and it was mostly getting used to using the pedals to pull away and stop etc...

chattius 2,512 Posted October 5, 2021 Share Posted October 5, 2021 learner -> Lamborghini I was forced allowed to drive the family vehicles as soon as I could press the pedals. First a Lamborghini with 6, then a Porsche with 8, a Mercedes Unimog with 12 on own fields, on public roads with small bike license aged 16 and then finally when I was 18 (car license age here) I was allowed for the Volkswagen 412 of the family ;) One of my grandgrandmas was from italy. One of her 6 brothers worked as a tractor designer. So the first tractor my grandgrandpa bought was a Lamborghini. Nice tractor for pulling, but the Porsche was able to use landmachines for horses with a little modification and my family still used horses and cows till end of the seventies -- too steep hills and forest ways very narrow. Funny story when Mr.Lamborghini wanted to buy a sportscar at the nearby factory of Mr.Ferrari. Mr.F made a joke why a tractor builder would need one of the best sportcars. Mr.L got angry and designed an engine and a sportscar himself. VW 412, advanced Beetle, boxer engine in the rear, second cargo room in front, Link to comment
