I did a quick look, but tbh I would need to know more about ancient judaic wedding practices.

Here goes: in Gospel by Luke, when Mary gets the announcement, they are betrothed (fiancée).
In Gospel by Matthew, Joseph hears of this and wants to cancel the betrothement, but gets an explanation by an angel and “takes her in” but doesn’t sleep with her until after Jesus is born.
In Gospel by Luke, when they arrive in Bethlehem, they’re called betrothed. So I don’t know how official and extensive the “taking in” is to be seen.

Anyways, look what I found in the Song of Mary:

He performs mighty deeds with his arm; he scatters those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
He brings down rulers from their thrones but lifts up the humble.
He fills the hungry with good things but sends the rich away empty.

Winter Olympics is in Italy this year

Tristan and Isolde are very beautiful names.

This turns into a Petterson and Findus routine, haha

Habe ich auch immer vermieden, aber die letzten drei Male waren die Profis bei schickerer Kleidung eine enorme Hilfe.

Aber das große ẞ

Wait, your telling me that baseball is more popular than basketball?

If I had to rank the top 3 US sports by interest/engagement to me I’d say

1. ice hockey
2. basketball
3. I don’t know, surfing, skateboard or breakdance but not gridiron or baseball

🎵Bears don’t fall asleep all winter
🎵That was just hyperbole
🎶Told to us, when we were younger
🎶A lie told universally
🎵To an entire generation
🎵For seamingly no reason why
🎶It’s our turn for grand deception
🎶Tell the youth the following lies:
🎵Cocaine was invented by salmon
🎵Frogs brain is the main ingredient in milk
🎶And freight trains are powered by llamas
🎶Iguanas wear camouflage pajamas
🎵 underneath they all got regular skin
Well, I bet you didn’t know that

It specifies the cultural application but broadens the temporal.

(To be more direct: not every first nation practiced that technique.)

Having seen neither, I gotta say Neon Genesis Evangelion looks more appealing to me than Star Wars. I might even watch it someday.

That’s what Atlas_ is suggesting. Don’t by a ticket, just hike the route for fun.

Looks Yugo to me, but I don’t want to insult my Yugo brethren.

I think, if your savings can’t cover your basic needs for a month, you’re in it. If you miss one paycheck, your life basically falls apart. It also means, if you have a sudden cost (car repair, water pipe burst, or illness in the USA) that is more than a monthly paycheck (which in turn is more than your savings), you’re done.

I can get it for some environments. For example in central Asia, coming from a nomadic lifestyle and living in yurts (big tents) it’s totally understandable to keep your shoes on. Maybe the building style is a continuation of the yurt and lends to similar choices.

I was once in Paraguay and their buildings typically don’t have a hallway, every room is accessible from the outside. Most of their life is also spent outside, like cooking and eating. It’s nice weather for most of the year, why not.

But for European style weather and houses, I will always take my shoes off.

Switzerland has about 25% foreigners and in Luxembourg the Portuguese minority alone is 15-20%

Einen Mitarbeiter für 2 Tage loszuschicken, um den Händler (der ja in Deutschland ist) zu besuchen kostet vielleicht 500€.

Do it then. Start by describing ten thousand images, so your local ai can learn how to recreate them.

Ten thousand isn’t nearly enough btw

I’ve worked and researched with ai and trained a model. I like classificators and CNNs, I don’t like chatbots and image generators.

Die Pixelmaus geht um…

Just like Putin’s soldiers
