No brakes, no gears, no brains.

I actually designed an air brake system at GM.
So I'd be interested in the details of such a claim.

oh la-dee-da you were an Engineer at GM....ooooo were all so impressed.......oooo aren't you just so superior to us plebeians..... braggart....dang show off punk....

I worked on a lot of breaks, but never air brakes..... kind of wish I had

You should've noticed that I said that
as a basis for asking for details, ie,
that I'd understand them...unlike
some ignant smelly bear who knows
nothing of air brakes.

USA might be a crap country, but others are
even worse. Although I did enjoy Deutschland,
despite their funny but difficult language.
It was very clean, orderly, & organized....which
is exotic, but also why I could never live there.

I often think I'd probably do better for myself in Germany. I typically get along with them just fine, I can be more blunt when I speak (which is a burden off my shoulders when I have to put less effort into what I'm saying) because they themselves are more direct and upfront, but I have a hard time understanding them, especially when they get excited and hauch und schlur everything into one big long super word.

This is not where i got it from but it will do

American trailers do not always have brakes on all wheels, and it is common for a 2 axle trailer to have brakes on only one axle.

American caravans and trailers: brakes and couplings.

Beware the fallacy of focusing upon what you
imagine you'd like. You'd miss our wonderful
hardware stores, the right to insult each other,
& not having to buy insurance against getting
sued in that lawsuit happy country.

If it not Menards they all suck anyways.

I haven't seen them do anything I wouldn't.

Then you've never been to an old school hardware store.

I have health insurance.
You don't?
Then get a job, ya lazy millennial slacker!

I haven't seen them do anything I wouldn't.

Then you must be a very obedient person.
I had no idea that you're so house trained.

I plan to stay at Stalag 13 on my next visit to Germany.

I have. They suck because I can't get almost everything for my nerd projects and pick up dinner while I'm there.

I have health insurance.
You don't?

I have health insurance. I'm talking of malpractice insurance. Having grown up in a family of healthcare providers having to have such insurance isn't a foreign concept to me.

It's more that I tend to do things in an orderly, procedural manner that I've observed seems to be the glue, nails amd stitches holding German society together.
I'm not as much as a stickler as they are (like how they excell at time management to the point of time micromanagement), but, yeah, I've found I usually fit in and get along great with them (it also helps I know they are trying to be helpful and not beinf rude like how many Americans are prone to seeing it).

Cops should have to buy that.

When I was in Krautland, we fit in so well
that they thought were Canuckstanian.

I am fond of telling people to demonstrate how. They find it describes me just as well as Libra (which is rather odd joke to make about someone who's a certified neuro weirdo).
Or recently someone sharing an article about apparently weed smoking becoming a thing among "Boomers." But as I pointed out those are the free love, Timothy Leery following, Woodstock hippies who taught me more about weed than anyone else has that this article is claiming are just coming around to appreciate Mary.
And then there's my dad, same age as @Stevicus, but AC/DC and Kiss are screamo bands who are too heavy and at times he even acts like a [hypocritical] late-Victorian era prude.

I am curious where they'd think I'm from. Given the amount of foreigners who have told me they think I'm from Texas that might happen. But I also occasionally get "somewhere north" or Canada.
To my best knowledge only Americans have said "somewhere European." I would hope a European wouldn't jump to such a thing, but they are still people at the beginning and end of the day so I suppose it might be possible.

Nothing much to say so i suppose I'll just take the win

Officially tired, im lying in bed using my tablet and fell asleep. Relaxed my grip on the tablet which promptly tipped over and landed, thump, on my nose, that woke me up so i decided that's enough winning for the day. Goodnight..

I am so glad I am not the only one that has that happen to them. Luckily I have a very hard head.

Sprache, ich mag Deutsch lieber als Französisch

Um ehrlich zu sein, spreche ich wenig von beidem

aber ich spreche mehr deutsch als französisch

aber ich bin weit davon entfernt, gesprächig zu sein

Nie wirklich das Formale bekommen
