dare I suggest that some of us are not only not 60, but also not American? Thus, not all young people don’t know shit
meep meep
10, 20 minutes to evacuate? I heard 20-30 seconds.
honestly the most uplifting Alice monologue right there at the end
Congrats on the impending plaque
Hey guys, congrats on 100k . I came acrodd this podcast by blind luck about 6 months ago and it quickly became my favorite.
…… You guys realize paragliders fold up into like a backpack right? It's just a nylon parachute modified for gliding lol, the whole point is being able to pack it up. So yeah I one would know they have a paraglider
I kind of love that Rocz is an asbestos apologist
Congratulations to Liam
Eric Gill thankfully did not actually develop Trajan – Carol Twombly made it at Adobe in the 80s, so no dogs were harmed (obliquely) in the creation of Alice's tattoo.
Devon you need to leave your subtext up longer 😭
Congrats on hitting 100k subscribers!
I was sub nuke not surface nuke but discussing plant ops in EITMLI5 was a common occurrence.
Military History Visualized?
Great video showing British army protocol when transiting to West Berlin through east Germany territory! https://youtu.be/h5-JqxzioYs?si=GUGs0oCb80gh5rCh
Edit: as mentioned by Alice
Can y’all sell merch that also has the Activate Windows watermark? It would mean a lot to me
We are getting really relitavistic with the term "engineering disasters" huh 😀
On scars of WW2 in Berlin; Beyond big things like demographics and monuments, something that struck me when i visited last year was the little scars here and there. We passed an old graveyard where one facing of a maosoleum was pockmarked with what must have been heavy machinegun or autocannon impacts. You could just imagine some group of men hunkering in that graveyard 80 years ago, and look for likely vantage points in the direction the fire must have been coming in from.
You podcast just told me, why bavaria always feels like eastern germany and way larger than other parts. I keep traveling on a north<-> south axis but never bothered looking at a map. Till you forced me.
Am I the only one that laughed quite hard at them circling Berlin in red and then going "oh wait shit…" and then doing it again in green?
The curved top of the wall was asbestos
2:08:55 could transition have saved her (the soviet union)?
The difference between the walls is that one was built in order to prevent the subjugated people from escaping a totalitarian regime and the other one is there to not let terrorists in 👌
You can’t just say “all walls bad”. Might as well destroy prison walls so that criminals don’t feel oppressed 😂
What a stupid comparison….
51:00
Guys, i dont like Biden but he actually opposed the ground invasion and all US admin advised against it.
There is plenty that happened to hate him for like the aid. But even the state department is pushing back of the misinformation being spread about this.
Just wanting people to be careful
As much as I love the comedy of "Hitler dood, wat nou?", that's an Afrikaans paper not a Dutch one
As a fellow German I so much have to say about what is wrong which is being said around 55:00. There was a rigorous de-nazification among East-German beaurocrats and police at the beginning of the 1950's, called "Waldheimer Prozesse". And the political right-wing that is pretty big in East-Germany is for sure not caused by inheritance of a Nazi mindset. More or less it is caused by the same chaos after the system change that had lead to the rise of people like Putin in Russia or Orban in Hungary: People do not like to be treated as inferior, being unemployed, or being told that what they have done for 40 years was pointless and doesn't count for their retirement. There have been two lost generations (Boomers and GenX) there, and guess which demographics are now right-wing!
That being said, another point for sure is that every left-wing ideology has being burned by so-called real existing socialism. And that wall! People do not see a Venn diagram in which freedom and leftist idea coexist. So if they radicalize there seems to be no alternative. And the German left is either corrupt (SPD) or divided and weak. 😒
Would the wall have been easier to get across had they activated windows?
People need to change their ways
Bloody hell you're hateful
