As a German myself I would like to here some arguments why citizen by the place you happen to be at birth is better?

The whole pocket issue seems to be more complex than just "tight pants look dumb otherwise", saw a Video about it the other day which was somewhat entertaining https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jA_elEw-Oog (Channel: AnswerInProgress , Canadians)

This is bad for any card secondary market, think magic the gathering or pokemon. Usually you send or receive singles or maybe 5 cards at most as a letter, now this needs to be a package i guess.

I would also echo the fears of a throughly digitalized society

The sad part as I read it is that you actually have to work 8 hours at all. Productivity has increased more than thrice in the last few decades, yet, the early industrialization 8+ hours are still the norm while it has been proven to be unproductive for most jobs and defiantly unhealthy. Or at least that is what I interpret into it. There are different models of work breaks, I think the french have a somewhat long lunch break because they celebrate it more while other work cultures are more on the nutrition acquisition road

There are some japanese mechanical pencils that rotate the lead a bit every time you push it down.

That vendor, jetpens, is an american site that imports from japan..but sitting in europe, for now this seems to be the best method of acquiring japanese writing stuff short of actually flying there personally. You might find that interesting. There are some stylish ones, I wish they had existed when I was younger and needed them in school

A young men came out to operate the pump? Really? In Germany, within the last 30 years? This seems highly unlikely. Those places are almost never manned with more than one person and they don't leave the counter.

Yeah srsly, how. Its so evenly, if its not a liquid iron pipeline i cannot phantom how this happens except Photoshop. Eletric stuff is usually bolts or cables, most gas stuff isn't that hot, maybe some chemical piping but i don't know enough about chemical processing to actually guess.
