We also know building nuclear takes 20 years and costs more than building thrice the capacity in renewables + Germany has no long-term nuclear storage, only temporary one's a la Simpsons.

We've got base 64, though it doesn't quite follow the convention of starting with digits and following up with letters:

I'm sure people who accept the realistic risk of drowning - most cannot swim - will be discouraged by the threat of... being in a prison with better living conditions than their home?

But then parliament isn't all powerful, is it? See the omnipotence paradox:

A similar problem occurs when accessing legislative or parliamentary sovereignty, which holds a specific legal institution to be omnipotent in legal power, and in particular such an institution's ability to regulate itself.

And tbh, a parliament which cannot regulate itself is a fairly powerless parliament.

I'm sure the guy Netanyahu named a settlement in the occupied Golan Heights after and who moved the US embassy to Jerusalem, half of which is supposed to belong to Palestine will somehow support Israel less than Biden:

Do you think the people who fear migration care the slightest bit about anyone but themselves?

An awful number of them would support attacking rafts filled with refugees with military warships.

Die Interpretation ist die Brandmauer.

Die Würde des Menschen ist unantastbar

Gebt einer faschistischen Partei die Gerichte und siehe da: Die Todesstrafe ist gar keine Verletzung der Menschenwürde (vorausgesetzt der Tod ist schnell, man soll ja glaubwürdig wirken).

unverletztliche und unveräußerliche Menschenrechte

Und auch hier kann man Definitionen beliebig definieren. Z.B. Artikel 9 UN-Menschenrechtskonvention verbietet willkürliche Festnahmen, trotzdem hat Bayern bis zu 2 Monate Präventivhaft. Sind ja nur 0.2% des gesamten Lebens einer Person, das muss man ja aushalten können.

Small corrections:

The region the currency was minted was called "Joachimsthal", so the name became "Joachimsthaler", with the suffix -er signifying it is something from there. The English suffix -er works similarly - a Londoner is a person from London.

By the way, nowadays the word is spelled "Tal", not "Thal". I'll use that spelling from now on to also avoid any confusion with the thorn sound im English - "Th" in German is pronounced the same as "T".

Because "Joachimstaler" has a lot of syllables, eventually people just said "Taler" instead, there was only one currency from a place with "-tal" at the end anyways. All German regions have dialects whose prononciation of certain letters differs from standard German - which standardized spelling conventions. As such, people from some other regions wouldn't have written "Tal" but rather "Dal", had they named the region. Small interjection: Bordeaux instead of Porto: A woman with a Saxon dialect accidentally booked the wrong ticket on the phone.

As such the Dutch / Low Germans named the currency "Daler" which then became "Dollar".
