>All beds have at lest 2m

As another tall person here, the length of the matress/bed is not as critical as what comes when the bed ends. 2m matresses with a wall/bedend that is massive is way more umfortable for a tall person then a 1,9m matress with 20cm of air behind it.

>just like in aviation business class

Yeah but im not flying lay-down business class when i want to go Hamburg-Vienna because the trip is only 90mins. I fly lay-down business when going trans-atlantic or to asia.

i just did and almost missed it. it looks like ads for albums except there is a small "feature" string. i'm honestly not sure i ever visited this page before. always went directly to the band site.

to understand my POV better, my usecase is: - band that i like and follow (mostly newsletter, some social media, rarely friends that mention it drecty) sends an update "hey new stuff, click here" - i click the link, listen a bit, buy and download

what did they edit? im honestly curious as in my perception bandcamp is something that i get a link to from a band and that i then use to buy music. have problably spent a couple of 100 € over the years there.

germany has a big tradition of eating raw minced pork (mettbrötchen - bread roll with raw minced pork, diced onions salt and pepper). and its perfectly safe because the food safety laws are so strict. its so safe that even gas station variations of this are very popular

it gets worse when you factor in translation problems.

lets take google/recaptcha/hcaptcha image captchas. english: "click on the images with bikes" this could mean motorbikes or bicycles in english.

in german it says "klicken sie die bilder mit den fahrrädern". fahrrad meaning bicycle exklusively! a motorbike would be "motorrad". then the images will show no bicycles so you skip - wrong - so you click on the motorbikes - wrong - oh there is one image that shows a (german) "motoroller" (a scooter) maybe they mean that? click - correct

this goes on an on and on. they have so many problems with their translations its infurating. i stopped filling them out when not absolutely necessary

Hamburg here, same. Got 2 MRIS in the last 5 years and both could have been the next business day if it would have fit my schedule. and all that as a "kassenpatient"
