I mean I understand why they’ve just given up.

German dress sizes are weird.

So, you are a normal person? Why don’t you try on sizes 46, 48, 50, 52, 54 etc?

Oh, you are tall. No worries, we got you. Just double the number and you get the same only a bit longer.

Man, you are small? Just half the sizes and the suit will fit like a glove with shorter arms etc.

You have a beer belly? See how we left out the odd numbers in the original list? We did that jut for you 🤷‍♂️.

PS: I hope I remember this correctly. I remember I had to buy 102 when I was younger and I wascso confused. Now I am well in the beer belly category 😱

It already does. And allegedly they had a budget of $3,000 . I think it is on YouTube.

Also not a show. But if you liked QI (QI XXL!) the you will also love the podcast No Such Thing As A Fish by some of the QI elves

That does not exist in German, we are efficient and do never postpone anything!

Or ‚Ein Lesezeichen setzen.‘

Not really a suggestion - I don’t own any of their stuff - but I lately see lots of people wearing Strauss ( work clothes as well as casual) over here in Germany.

Not sure. I still remember the Great-NetNews-AOL-Hate (aka ‘me-too’) of 1995 :)

/s, I think

TL;DR: “sorry, you are right, I over-simplified”and “don’t be a dick on the Autobahn”

Ok, you are technically correct, which is - as we all know - the best version of correct. 😎

I admit to gross over-simplification on my part. This is the internet after all.

My point was to not underestimate the weight of the advisory speed limit. Living over here at a stretch of Autobahn with no posted speed limit I have seen my fair share of reckless speeding and felt compelled to make a point as the image projected by many ‘influencers’ is that anything goes on the Autobahn.

Some more details for the three people still reading this:

Courts over here in good ol’ Germany are pretty clear that paragraph 1 of the German highway code lays out the guiding principle of traffic and has to be followed at all times:

[…]

1. Participation in road traffic requires constant caution and mutual consideration. (2) Anyone taking part in traffic must behave in such a way that no one else is harmed, endangered or hindered or inconvenienced more than is unavoidable under the circumstances. […] (Translated by myself using deepl.com)

To the advisory speed of 130 km/h:

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advisory_speed_limit

[…]While travelling above the advisory speed limit is not illegal per se, it may be negligence per se and liability for any collisions that occur as a result of traveling above the limit can be placed partially or entirely on the person exceeding the advisory speed limit.[…]

If you go faster than 130 km/h you are always allotted a certain percentage of fault in Germany. You don’t have the right to speed if you are endangering others.

Oliver Slow? Really?
