No, not the food. The people.
Maybe, but they’re real grumps by non-German standards. And don’t even get me started on Berliners. No, not the food. The people.

Last week, arson attacks on the French high-speed network severely disrupted rail traffic shortly before the start of the Olympic Games.
An activist linked to a far-left movement was arrested in connection with the French incidents.
That means to forbid, prohibit, ban, outlaw (see verboten).
As in shutting down Iran’s major islamist extremist beachhead in Germany, the “Blue Mosque” in Hamburg.
And it only took thirty (30) years for Germany to do this.
Germany shuts down Islamic Center Hamburg – The Islamic Center Hamburg (IZH) was under investigation for several months over its alleged support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah group which is backed by Iran. Hezbollah is classified as a terrorist group by Germany.
That means bloodbath.
Good thing Germany has some of the strictist gun control laws in the world. Otherwise the death toll would have been a lot higher.

Water are you still doing here?
Buoy, I’d get out of there if I were you! But don’t be upset when you go to the back of the boat and the captain gives you a stern look.
You bunch of ferries.
Storm Ylenia: Three injured after a huge wave smashes through ferry windows in Hamburg, Germany.
To the drop in covidvirus infections in Germany. The 7-day incidence nationwide is below 35 Covid-19 infections per 100,000 people, and dropping.
BUT what is not expressly allowed is verboten! We’re still from the government and we’re still here to help. Drop that beer and raise your hands!

With a stress on spring. As in maybe by next Spring.

That means doing nothing. And nothing is what German students want.
Is genius made from bootstraps or handouts? A university in Germany may answer that question by giving out free money for being lazy. The University of Fine Arts in Hamburg said it’s going to give three people $1,900 “idleness grants.”
I doubt if any new discoveries will be made here. Academics know this already: “Doing nothing isn’t very easy.” But, hey. Somebody has to do it.
The “grant for doing nothing” will be for “active inactivity” as the project studies lack of ambition for research for an exhibition next year on sustainability called The School of Inconsequentiality: Towards A Better Life.
“This scholarship program is not a joke but an experiment with serious intentions — how can you turn a society that is structured around achievements and accomplishments on its head?”
