Ask yourself why they often look like that.
I don`t find it offensive because I know it`s manga,however many people haven`t a clue as to what manga is and it`s easy to see why that could be deemed…

I would, currently here in Germany, not accept a cheque either unless:

Thank you, lisa, for your insights! I couldn’t agree more with you!

If you haven't watch it I recommend you La Piel que Habito (The Skin I live in). It is not traditional Almodovar, but it is brutal. Of course Antonio Banderas is the main character.

Same here, jeba. That’s the main reason beaches have been opened up earlier than planned ( though not for organised groups ) and why gastronomy services can open from Monday instead of from 1st June.

Thanks for this, my bosses are looking it it for me now!

@McDee Thanks for that but things have moved on since the post you quoted, as per my update on page 17 it looks like Lufthansa will give me a refund. Also please note I did not book through Opodo but…

It is a piece of FUD.
Full of bullshit assumptions and misleading comments.
Tesla will dominate the market and become extremely profitable. Far from "bankrupt" as most claimed a year ago.

Unfortunately, Trump has opened up the national parks and people have been attacked by bears, bison, etc. who were taking their space back.

Update, hearing has been postponed due to COVID until next month. I appreciate the feedback, and I am glad to hear I am probably not crazy in terms of how we are reacting to this situation.

I would recommend Toyota Corolla e12 with petrol engines. The car is not engineering advanced like the same age European cars but it is very reliable and mainly requires only maintenance. In…

Just google "hobbywerkstatt". There are plenty of them in Munich. They charge for the lift, though you don't need it for a motorbike so they might charge you smaller fee. Also they have a lot of…

That's just a kind of wishful thinking. Almost all of the 58 construction projects listed in the article are commercial/office buildings. It takes years of planning, approvals and financing before…

I think the safest way to do this would be to employ you on a temporary contract through an international payroll company until you've moved to Germany.
Otherwise, you may have problems with your…

Hi TTers,
This is a long shot I know, but does anyone use Aegisub who would be willing to answer a couple of questions that are not on YouTube nor in the Manual?
Advance thanks.

ok, there's another misconception

Hi everyone. Hope everyone has been safe during these times.

A verbal contract is not a problem in that case in the way that it's known he is a tenant, he lives there and I assume he can prove he's paying rent. It's going to be a problem though if you disagree…

Did your employer know what your medical situation is or did the kasse just tell them "same". The kasse is not supposed to give them your medical info but I wouldn't be surprised if they are allowed…
