What are you on about? I've switched to LED bulbs about 10 years ago, and I've never had to replace a single one...

Good for you if that's what you think. Meanwhile, I have no trouble finding other artists more worthy of my money and attention.

He has only been middle aged for less than half his career, depending on your definition of the term, and he has at various stages of his life described himself as bisexual, asexual, celibate, 'humasexual' and explicitly 'not a homosexual', but besides that: Yes. Which illustrates why his various -isms haven't been obvious until more recently.

Possibly. And had that one song remained the only indication of his mindset, I would still, possibly, be listening to his music. But it didn't, and here we are.

There's being pretentious and stupid, and then there's being a full on racist and hatemonger. The latter wasn't apparent until more recently.

I'd like to point out that the notion that most medieval Europeans never travelled beyond their place of birth is increasingly shown to be a misconception. Most peasants at least visited the nearest town frequently for trade and to attend processions for religious holidays, and many made a point of going on a major pilgrimage at least once in their live. There also the fact that people were often forced to relocate because of wars and famine, went on crusades, were sent away to learn a trade, or simply visited distant relatives. The thing that didn't happen was tourism, which is how we mostly think of travel today. Here's a medievalist's perspective on it, and it's not hard to find more sources if you go looking for them: https://medievallauren.wordpress.com/2020/12/02/medieval-myth-busting-travel/

Not sure if you're joking or just having a slow day, but neither the length of a day nor the length of a year are arbitrary. One is the length of a revolution of the earth around its own axis, the other is the time the earth takes to complete a full run around the sun. Those two aren't fully in sync, and to line them up would require a major feat of astroengineering. Given sufficient advances in science, we might get there in a few millennia, if we're still around by then, but until then leap years are here to stay.

I read an article about that. IIRC it's mainly because there is only minimal bloodflow in your teeth - barely enough to supply it with nutrients (and still not enough you should skip external flouride etc.).

DJ Krush for some instrumental hip hop/trip hop.

Can't speak for the US, but here in Germany there often aren't 12 monthly salaries to a year. Many people get a Christmas bonus and/or a summer bonus, but just as many don't. Personally, I get paid about 13 1/4 monthly salaries a year, so telling you my yearly salary would be more accurate than the monthly amount.

So formuliert stimme ich dir absolut zu. Im Verhältnis steht das nicht. Ob die Politik jetzt der einzige Grund (oder der Hauptgrund) für den Zustand der deutschen Spielebranche ist, vermag ich nicht zu sagen.

Warum sollte ich das versucht haben? Ich bin kein Studio (anders als offenbar du). Deine Behauptung, es gäbe keine Subventionen, ist aber klar falsch, und Daedalic und Mimimi ist es auch gelungen, sie zu erhalten. Dass du daran gescheitert bist, tut mir aber sehr leid.
