Well I’m

I’m lyin’ in bed, just like Brian Wilson did

That sounds like the right amount to me.

“Well, the game is afoot! I’ll take “Anal Bum Cover” for 7000.”

Give it time, I’m sure we’ll soon have both.

While not the perfect answer to your question, I recently freed my entire Audible library from its DRM shackles via https://getlibation.com/ and set up https://www.audiobookshelf.org/ to host then on my server.

That process was so ridiculously quick and simple that I don’t know why I didn’t do it much earlier. Migration with full and flawless metadata was as easy as copying the files in the right folder.

Audiobookshelf offers all the benefits of a cloud based player like Audible, with cross device sync and ubiquitous availability. Heck, the library and players work better even. And, if course, there’s full control over the data.

Now that I am hosting my own audiobook library I’m far less picky about where I get them.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

“I call it beautiful, clean lead. I told my people, never use the word lead unless you put beautiful clean before it.”

As you pretty much confirmed in your own reply, it’s both an inherently political and legal process. While this isn’t technically a mandatory step, it’s effectively a necessary one.

This is an important step in the long and arduous process to disallow a party, though.

It’s in obvious that you have never flown Ryanair. They make it very clear at every point of the journey that they have zero regard for their customers and crew. It’s an antagonistic relationship from beginning to end.

This is coming from the CEO who pitched “vertical seating” after all.

It’ll more likely be a Kid Rock or Ted Nugent concert. Or simply five hours of topless Putin riding on a horse.

Germany, like most countries, does have issues with law enforcement. But, as you noticed, so far our checks and balances hold - at least when it comes to fatal violence.

I don’t think you can extrapolate any trend from the extremely low annual numbers. 2024 was indeed an unusually violent year (even though official stats haven’t been finalized afaik), but looking at 2025s numbers so far, this does not appear to indicate any trend.

No, it really doesn’t. German shoots and kills, on average, fewer than 10 people per year. The total amount of bullets discharged at people hovers around 50 to 60.

In a country of 83 million.

The US population is four times larger and the number of victims of police shootings is literally 100 times higher. An estimated 1173 in 2024 and the US internationally doesn’t even properly track this number.

Heck, even France’s police kill significantly more people than Germany’s “trigger happy nazi cops”.
