Yeah, I was definitely in over my head on this one. I’ll gladly do anything mechanically but professional welding is like an actual art form to me.

Thank you, so am I!

They did arm them, they are running around with regular Russian gear in the videos that I’ve seen. Maybe even a bit better than average, considering the amount of Russians wearing beach slippers, trainers and tracksuits.

There are 100.000 bodies in a single mass grave. And that is just one out of five. That’s kinda in a league of its own.

Maybe he ate them all.

And in hour 500 your high-level character dies to some random branch scratching his neck as they walk though the woods.

From my understanding the EU prohibits a commercial legalization, which is also the reason it has only been “decriminalized” or “tolerated” in other European countries. The current implementation is basically our lawmakers tip-toeing around the EU laws in the hopes of being able to change them at some point in the future.

It’s a very complicated situation. Weed can’t be sold freely, you have to be a member of a Cannabis-Club to be able to obtain it. You can also harvest your own without being in a club. Some hardware stores sell plants, and some online-pharmacies will sell it if you have a prescription (very easy to get). The whole legal situation is extremely complex due to a number of EU laws restricting open sale.

He is against legalization and (ironically) claims that it leads to a higher crime rate. He’s a populist and many of the things he says are just hot air, so it’s not taken too seriously at the moment.

Recreational weed is already legal in Germany as of this year. Some hardliners of the CDU have claimed they want to re-criminalize it, but most people assume that it’s just pre-election posturing as all of their possible coalition partners have previously supported legalization. It would be a very unpopular move with barely any support.

Not really. The conservatives have tried adopting talking points from the far right, but all it did was legitimize these stances. It actually caused even more voters to shift further right, with moderates becoming increasingly demoralized. The right will always vote right, no matter what the details of the actual policies are. The left will just further divide itself by taking conservative stances. A party has to fit a niche, and you won’t get that by just taking policies from others.

Best I can do is this:

Norway is set to ban ICE cars

Newly registered ICE cars, I assume?

True, the Russians seem to be the exception to the rule in this conflict.

Some Ukrainians have suggested that the North Koreans are counting and identifying all their fallen soldiers to make sure that nobody surrendered. Not sure how credible it is though.

Torx is better than whatever this Canadian abomination is. You’d only put pressure on the corners in a realistic setting. These would get rounded so fast unless they are massive, like on some differentials or gearbox oil drains.

I’d rather be chewing on bark like a rodent.

I’m sure this will calm things down over there. /s
