Funnily I also haven't heard much good about Scandinavian cuisine
Would've expected more from Germany though. On the other hand, they do eat Schnitzel mit Tunke...

Absolutely not. Granted, my country is right next to Italy, but I've only ever heard about spaghetti with ketchup on the internet, from people from other countries.
More like that they probably are too young to have bought a home earlier. All people in their 20s (and I think we make a large percentage of Lemmy users) simply have to cope and buy some overpriced home regardless.
👍 in Europe earthquakes luckily are less of a concern, so we care more about longevity (you'll find many places where pretty much every house is well over a hundred years old (the oldest one in my village is about 900 years old)) and good isolation (to keep the heat inside in winter and outside in summer so we can heat less / don't have to use air conditioning on our way to net zero)
Oh it's a term linked to that industry...
But I suppose average people will not know of that meaning, so it's a perfectly fine brand name (I also still don't know what it means but know enough to know that I don't want to know it)
What's wrong with this?
I guess they might be appropriate for some roads (in poor or very rural countries)
But not here
I know, but they belong to VW and at least back then used Audi engines (which also belongs to VW)
After like... 1944? they also conscripted people to the SS
I am just stating what my grandfather told me, and not defending the Nazis in any way!
After ww2 ended, my grandfather jumped down from the train that was supposed to bring him to a gulag (he was a soldier (vehicle driver) in ww2, just like all other German males at that time) with six others and walked 800 000 km home over many nights (at daytime they'd be seen and captured to be brought to a gulag, which basically equalled death), before dawn broke they always went to a farm and asked if they could hide there for the day (the farmers were very friendly despite having been enemies not long ago (enemies in wars usually exist on a political level, but not on a personal one), most didn't reject them and let them sleep, usually also gave them something to eat and if they were lucky something to take with them for the next night).
He was the only one who arrived back home, all others either were captured or died.
There he went to the American zone since he had heard his chances for survival were best there. They threw him into a pit (went a few meters down, he broke his arm from falling down), gave him some stray, water and bread (apart from the bread basically like many animals are kept). After eight years (including frequent physical and psychological torture (= for example telling him to lay off all clothes and stand at a wall, pointing a gun at him telling him it's time to die like once per month)) he was so ill that they expected him to die within a few days so they set him free so he could visit his wife and children one last time.
He recovered and lived to become 90 years old.
Just because one side was very bad it doesn't mean the other sides were angels. I'm not defending the Nazis in any way, but I'm sure there were many cases such as his. And he didn't do anything special as far as I know, didn't have a high rank or anything, he just was a normal vehicle driver in his country's army.
