Yes burning them all would have been much more satisfying.
But we needed to know how many matches we needed to buy 😈
I don’t know… I have been there twice in the last 4 years, and I went in many places (touristy and not, I was there for work, Just as examples: Truderinger Str. or Marsstraße are not so central) and never saw anything like that. For sure I didn’t see cars parked on the bus stop or on the zebra crossings.
But anyway, with a similar car density (but people density is almost double in Milan) I am not be surprised that the situation is comparable in both places.
So, well, you should organize and count them too! I think that such a status is unacceptable independently of where it happens 🙂
I have been in Munich… Not remotely comparable.
Did you see the pictures in the article below? They are not an exception. Cars are parked like this in all Milan, on all the streets.
What surprises me the most is maintenance cost of thosr urban highways, when compared to every other alternative project!
I don’t see any difference:
Well it is a permanent April fools provocation.
And then, if it works, it works!

Please share it, then, if you really do!
To cross the roads safely when needed 🙂
Relevant video in which a guy stands still at the side of a road next to a pond:
Hands free: he gets a lot of splashes by uncaring passing drivers
Holding a brick in his hand: drivers slow down and avoid the pond.
It’s really funny:

As usual drivers care more about their car than other people’s wellbeing.
BTW: any shop that sells inflatable bricks?
My biggest surprise was enjoying Childhood’s End.
What a coincidence: Clarke is one of my favorite authors, and for some reason I was missing this one! I’ll read it for sure!
Thank you!
not talking when I have nothing to say. Maybe not the best of the talents, but I appreciate it very much
Lateral thinking for problem solving. Colleagues and friends usually are at first confused, and then surprised by the way I approach things
Very good spatial and geographical orientatin. Maps are easy read, I don’t get lost even in unknown place etc.
You are joking right?
You shouldn’t, because this is exactly the message of this ad from VW
This ☝️is more true than I’d like to admit
Totally agree. That part is awful.
But the general ideas behind the trilogy are completely mind blowing and extremely clever, and I find it difficult to find something similarly breakthrough. Maybe the space Odyssey series?
It is indeed!
(Just keep in mind that the full video is not mine, I added a disclaimer to the original post)
Ok, I get you don’t like the clip I made, even if I thought it was very clever… Different opinions
But… What about the voice? English is not my first language and I can understand what the guy says pretty easily, honestly 🤔
I think your argument is totally reasonable.
I think your comparison fits, too, but not all flues are the same: for the ones that are light you can handle them with self medication (paracetamol for the fever mainly), and/or you can wait to see if in a few days the symptoms get better or worse, and then you contact a doctor. Does it make sense?
I read that book. Very inspiring!
You completely avoided my points. You don’t like confrontation and discussion, you just want to be right. You clearly are this guy form XKCD comic
Regarding your question, can you use google?
I was genuinely surprised, because what you wrote was really different from what I experienced. But my experience i Munich is objectively limited. I somehow hoped that Germany, and Munich (along with other European cities) could be used as a model of how to do things right.
Exactly, and all this stuff about counting the cars is to try to move something. I have not much hope honestly, but excluding violence and vandalism, I think this is as much as someone can do
This is completely crazy. In Milan they justify bad parking by saying things like “it has always been like this” or “yeah, but you can go around it” etc. FFS, do your job!!
