Half of English's words are borrowed from other languages anyway.

Part of the issue is that Germany needs a lot of skilled workers, and the qualifications of immigrants from poorer countries are often not accepted. Of course, Germany has a hard time attracting skilled workers because the wages aren't that good and the immigration-related bureaucracy is a huge pain in the ass.

Get back to me when GOG implements achievements.

Star Trek TNG and Fallout 3. Would work extremely well, just imagine Fallout takes place on some alien planet.

If you're still laughing, try not taking any caffeine for a full day. I recently tried to stop the habit (digestive issues) and it's really damn hard.

Yeah, they have a lot of wrong ideas (at least here in Germany), but they're definitely facing real issues.

Invading countries was pretty much the norm back then, the migration period didn't just take place in England. You have any idea how often France or Italy got invaded?

Rhine river basin looks a lot bigger than I remember.

I'd assume that lack of space is a lot more critical than maintenance costs in Paris.

Wouldn't it make more sense to base it on length and width? I'd assume there's already various taxes on fuel consumption, but in parking, length and width are what actually matters.

Thanks!

The mix of possible food sources is something I hadn't considered. I can definitely see that insects could be useful for using up food scraps.

Land use is a complicated one. 18 instead of 25 m² is definitely something, but it pales in comparison to how much more land is used by cattle, pigs or chicken. And it's not like soybeans (or any other legumes) are intrinsically a destructive crop.

Same would be true for pea protein powder, tho. Maybe cricket powder is actually cheaper than isolated legume protein, but legume protein seems like a much easier sale.
