I remeber that it was simply forbidden for students to get to school with the car in highschool

One of the main reasons: there's simply no space for thousands of cars around a school :amaze:

Most kids came on bike, walking or with the bus and maaaaybe a few got dropped off by their parents but that's because their bike was broken..

Kids take pride in walking or even biking to school - even in Elementary...

I'm not quite sure if I'm getting all of your points correctly, @JohnLoader6.

(as in #Germany, a "master electrician" might even make more money than college graduates and often has his/her own company. What's more, they can now also get higher-education grants for a master craftsman certificate AND...

The Republican Fascist Party openly supports Nazis & millions of voters are like, hey! 👌 👍 ! Woot!

This is so beyond alarming, so beyond disturbing, so beyond dangerous.

Every so often it just hits me b/w the eyes how scary-bad it is. It’s, of course, why we got perm residency status in Canada, & no, I’m not “surprised” (How I hate that response). I saw this coming, sounded alarms all over Twitter & on air yrs ago.

But JHC I still can’t bear that it’s happening here so fast/easily #fascism

Not only did #Germany's two public broadcasting services turn to #Mastodon, a number of federal agencies opened channels here too.

There's a dedicated instance for federal agencies ( https://social.bund.de/about ) where for instance the federal government can be found: https://social.bund.de/@Bundesregierung

G7 leaders have announced plans to limit trade in diamonds with Russia to cut revenue that funds Russia's war against Ukraine.

The exact details of how the sanctions against Russian diamonds will work are not known for certain.

Russia is the world's largest producer of diamonds. Trade in precious stones is an important industry and a significant source of income for the Russian Federation.

What is the F-16 dogfight record?

The F-16 has an official name—Fighting Falcon—that nobody uses. To those who fly, arm, or maintain it, it is “the Viper.” It has been the most popular fighter of its time, with some 4,100 F-16s delivered to more than 20 countries. It has flown more than 200,000 combat sorties. Its air combat record: 71-to-zero.

Family photo

I heard and then followed a busy long-tailed tit, hoping for a photo. I was not disappointed as it lead me to its 9 chicks sitting on a branch.

While the nesting attempts of these tits often fail, they either try again or help relatives with their nesting attempt. This additional family help can lead to up to 12 surviving juveniles.
