A Call For Humor!

Which is half true BTW - said great-grandfather was an officer in the Prussian army (not quite voluntary, but still)...

You're in good company then, one of my great-grandfathers was a musician in the Prussian army. Hehe

Possible. Military bands get around a lot. And of course there's the obligatory great-grandma from East Prussia too. I think statistically, every other German has one.

Good question!

Applies to movies too. We watched Nuremberg the other day (Russell Crowe, Rami Malek) and it was close to B&W.

My grandpa lived in four different German states, each with a completely different system. Without even moving. It's wild when you think about it.

Having lived in four (very) different US states -- I'll note that an Amurrican might say:

Here, hold my beer -- and watch this!

The only part I'd have to explain to you would be that the cold, fizzy but largely flavorless yellow liquid I was handing to you is what has traditionally been considered Bier in Amurrica.

That latter one.
From childhood, I've been amused by the automotive term rear end.
Reflecting on this now, though, I am struck by the cognitive dissonance of the related term front end.
Shouldn't that be front beginning?

Thanks, I'll see myself out.

Jolly good!

In preparation for the decommissioning ceremony for the USS Enterprise NCC-1701D, we have the exceptional honor of being escorted by one of the newly re-engined Federation ships...the B-52X.​

[For those outside the US, the US Air Force is one more time going to install more modern engines
on the B-52 fleet. The newest B-52 was built in 1962.]

Last I read, the planned service life of these redoubtable bombers extends past a century.

I wonder if it will be the first "big fat" bomber to autonomously fly to the museum one day
OTOH it shows, when a construction is basically good, it can be workable for a very long time.
Like the A10, or my old Littmann stethoscope, which probably will outlive me despite zero service, etc.
