Maybe it doesn't matter that much -or maybe it would be even better if the German wasn't corrected-, but, being an English teacher, I just can't not correct the German when I know some of what could…

Well. thank you both. In the end you were both right. I guess I have been in a state of paranoia, thinking that this evil Rundfunk would keep the money and wouldn't inform the bailiff.
As you can…

Are you the competitive type of guy that’s looking to have fun on the field but you are new in town and no friends to play with? Do you enjoy team play and have some pretty cool skills with the ball?…

If I would be your guest I would pee into your kitchen sink or a vase.
"it wouldn't be that hard to clean"
I think, I would feel very uncomfortable if you would ask me to use the toilet.

@Smaug, no, I'm actually talking about the way that Apple does (or has done) their AVS Failure filter. I was specifically vague because knowledge of it can probably be used by bad people, but…

That's my interpretation as well, but I wonder if there's a loophole. Read this excerpt from Section 557b of the civil code.

I can't answer about Berlin as I rarely use them but I was on one last night in Hesse and it had them at every seat row. There's nightmode on many phones as well too now, of course.
