LOL that's the most I've ever seen of that, looks like she's doing the Curly shuffle at one point. The underwater imitation is definitely more impressive.

I had a very strange discussion with my German wife recently when she asked me to ask one of our German in-laws whether they want white lemonade or orange lemonade. What she actually wanted me to ask them (in terms that I assume make sense to the rest of humanity) was whether they wanted Sprite or Fanta.
This conversation involved a lot of her looking at me as if I need to be tested for learning difficulties, and concluded with me explaining to her that a colourless, transparent fluid is not white.
Don't they have words for soda in german besides Saft? I would think that would be a pretty clear distinction between soda and juice.

The basic problems as they are today is nuclear costs too much and takes to long to implement. You cans deploy a lot more MWH of solar and wind (and batteries) for the same amount of time and money as a similar sized nuclear plant.
That being said if I was dictator for a day I’d have the government start building breeder reactors to recycle high level waste for power generation and storage reduction times. I’d then use that power to produce synthetic aviation fuel.
Making some back of the envelope calculations the 1.2 million tonnes of high level waste could produce the estimate 100 billion gallons of zero carbon AV fuel needed for 2024 for 550 years assuming 20% efficiency on conversion. Granted that would be a shit ton of new reactors.

But...both "r" and "l" are in the puzzle already. Perhaps a "j"?
I had a similar experience when I moved to germany, was at a restaurant and I just wanted water with my meal, after 3 back and forths returning fizzy gross tasting stuff the table next to me told me I had to ask for it 'still'. Strange people.
Jesus how sad. I guess whoever said there is no accounting for taste meant there's no accounting for it's absence, not to be judgmental of course.

Don't be a shithead. I was half-joking, but the serious part was: I was asking for wasser, which I apparently irrationally assumed meant 'water, like from the fucking stream' rather than 'water, like from a factory the way mutter gave it to me'. Only place I've ever been that required a special notation for 'life-giving substance shared by every living thing on the planet'.
Also, carbonated water tastes like crap, there I said it. It's bitter and it's a weird substitute for normal goddamned water. Also-also, I don't drink soda, and I like champagne, as long as it's also not shit. Finally, if you really must know, none of the above. Kaiserslautern.

In my view, it takes skill to make a tasteless fluid taste bad
Sparkling water delivers!It's even weirder when very occasionally my (English) customers do that to me though; I'm visiting their home as arranged to fix their computer, they ask if I would like a drink, as a result of such experiences I often add "tap water will be fine". I've also had customers pull out an unsealed bottle of mineral water...

I hate champagne unless it's sweet, but give me a coke any day.

Still vs. Sparkling Water: Making a Case for Each
There seems to be two camps when it comes to the state of our water: some people are staunchly in the still water camp, and others are in the sparkling water camp. Some do cross over for variety occasionally, and both have their good points. Which camp are you in? Today we will make the case...
