The IBAN is also used for paying online by debit note. So somebody who knows your IBAN can theoretically buy stuff using your bank account. You can easily reclaim that money, but still there is hassle involved.

> I always wonder how Germans view Kraftwerk, as a Brit they feel as important as the Beatles.

They are hardly present in the public eye. Most people don't know them, except perhaps by name. Their music is probably too niche for the mainstream; they don't even feature in oldies shows on TV. But Kraftwerk is highly regarded by those who are interested in music, perhaps in the same way as Jean-Michel Jarre.

However, it is difficult to compare Kraftwerk with the Beatles. Let's face it: rock music (in the broadest sense) has a much higher profile in the public eye than electronic music.

The pocket operators and the EP-133 sampler are fairly priced.

I think the explanation is simple: The first link is usually the category of the article's lemma. Or something else which is a more general or abstract word. Following the links you will lead you to the most abstract things and eventually to thinking about abstract things, which is philosophy.

Or use nylon strings for concert guitars.

Why the snarky tone? MS Copilot is a mixture of enhanced search, ChatGPT like chat and Dall-E 3 for image generation, but without the need to create an account (only for image generation, I think). I use it at work every day and it is super helpful. I haven't compared it to ChatGPT, though.

You are of course free to have fun with the OP-1, but I found it to block my creativity when I constantly have to work around the omnipresent petty limitations like 4 tracks, 1 effect per voice, almost useless sequencers etc.

Let my guess: the singer suddenly started to sing in time?

To be fair, the advertising of the knob sounds like trolling to me, but honestly, it's hard to tell if serious or not.

Of course world cities like Tokyo, London or Paris are known for all sorts of things other than sports, that's why they are world cities.

On the other hand, I'm pretty sure German cities like Dortmund and Leverkusen are primarily known because of their soccer teams (at least among those who are into soccer, and that is a lot).

Regarding the Arctic ground squirrels:

> the water inside the squirrels becomes a supercooled liquid.

Does that mean that if you grab a squirrel and shake it, it freezes instantly?

I'm German and I felt very alien as well when I visited. It is an historical monument. People don't go there to commemorate the Völkerschlacht (the small museum nearby is better suited for that), but to see how they commemorated the Völkerschlacht 100 years ago.

Does there have to be a special reason? Being naked or not is something which people do mostly because other people do it (like many other things). It's an inherently unstable system, so to speak, so it's only natural that there are fluctuations.

Quickly peel an egg by tapping it on and rolling it over the table first so that the shell breaks into small pieces.
