This one for example. Don't know whether it technically has internet, but the smartest function it seems to have is FM radio.

Old-school "outlaw" country music is great. Like Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson and the like.

There are totally still working dumb phones that use 4g. Just be prepared for giant buttons, as the target group is mostly elderly people.

Riding my e-bike is still a physical workout, just one that takes me further than my regular bike. I can take bike paths or forest paths and don't have to always use the roads. E-bikes are quiet.

Yes, it is. If they’re in a flat, probably flour moths. Your friend should check any containers with food, especially grains.

I agree, awesome work! I don’t think the site has ever been so fast and snappy.

In theory, yes. Only problem is that we need a dev team willing to develop one. Mozilla won't do it if it's just for Europe apparently.

The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.

The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don't think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I'll refrain from searching for it...

It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it's fine to do so. At this point, it's probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn't write a fantasy novel and name a city "Minas Tirith", as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, "Dragonstone" is just fine IMO, even though it's a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).

This might vary between markets but at least here in Germany, their pricing is very competitive. You can currently get a base ID3 for 29,760€. There are very few if any similar sized EVs for that price. Software is okay, not the sleekest you can get for sure, but it does its job. They're the second most successful EV brand after Tesla here. I assume if you've never thought of them as something you'd want to buy, you've also never driven one?

What makes you say that? I've driven (but not owned) an ID3 for the last 3 years and it's pretty great. Only major criticism I have is that the controls are too heavily touch-based with a lack of physical buttons. But the actual driving is wonderful.

Die Bahn hat ja mehr als genug Probleme, aber die Bahnhöfe sind wie ich finde vollkommen in Ordnung. Ähnlich sauber bis sauberer als in anderen europäischen Ländern und besonders unsicher habe ich mich auch nie gefühlt. Die Zugangskontrollen die es in manchen anderen Ländern gibt habe ich als eher nervig empfunden. Vor allem wenn es dann so läuft wie z.b. in Großbritannien, wo man als Interrail-Nutzer nicht einfach sein Ticket scannen kann sondern es immer einem Mitarbeiter zeigen muss um durchgelassen zu werden. Das jetzt wieder bei uns einzuführen wäre meiner Meinung nach absolut rausgeschmissenes Geld das die Bahn an anderen Stellen bitter nötig hat.
