Comments by "Muck006" (@Muck006) on "IWrocker" channel.

  1. Since when was "made in the USA" ever about quality?
    151
  2. Dear Ian, one thing I have learned is that ... AMERICANS DONT LIKE TO LEARN FROM OTHER COUNTRIES ... which is part of the "we are the greatest nation in the world" ARROGANCE!
    131
  3. Most of these people BELIEVE in "our Lord Jesus Christ" ... and daily post citations from a book that was written 1600 years ago and translated several times.
    87
  4. It's not straw ... it's cardboard ... still weak enough for a wolf to blow it over after a bit of huffing and puffing. Americans dont take children's stories AND PAST HURRICANE EXPERIENCES seriously and thus NEVER LEARN and build better houses.
    82
  5. That's a sign of DIABETES ... "needing to drink LOADS" ...
    69
  6. Dear Ian, there are americans that believe "Jesus spoke english" ... [candidates for the "should not be allowed to vote" list if you ask me].
    65
  7. Apart from a very short "business venture" by a king of Brandenburg (all he did was provide some money to some dutch merchants making the proposal) ... Germany didnt have slavery, so never needed to ban it. Oh and the USA hasnt banned slavery yet ... it transformed it from "ownership slavery" to "wage slavery" (because it is fully acceptable to exploit a fellow citizen by paying them a crappy wage / forcing them to do overtime for no pay and so on.
    60
  8. High fructose corn sirup ...
    56
  9. €20 is worth more than $100 ...
    53
  10. 10:00 That "in Berlin" is in front of the Brandenburg Gate / US Embassy ... thus you will find a large number of "freakish stuff".
    46
  11. Schnitzel is great because of the crust ... but far too many restaurants pour the sauce you get directly onto the Schnitzel, which kinda makes it soggy and thus defeats the point of the crisp crust. Separating Schnitzel from sauce is a good idea, but I've got no idea why you would want to hang it.
    45
  12. ... but they have 40% of the global population of lawyers.
    42
  13. You HAVE TO be awake BEFORE taking such a drive.
    30
  14. #3 ISNT a tight spot ... but it is "made tight" by the fact that someone doesnt want to scratch their Ferrari. The numberplate is "Göttingen", which is an old university town in middle-northern Germany. Quite nice and they have a great café with awesome cakes there in the pedestrian zone.
    28
  15. Vollmilch is the usual "basic version descriptor" for most brands.
    25
  16. #3 - We dont TYPICALLY have HOAs in Germany ... except when a bunch of multi-storey houses were built at the same time and then sold as flats ... there MIGHT BE a "council of owners" (EVERYONE has a vote) which decides about changes in management that affect everyone. It's not an HOA, because there is no boss". - The same applies to "Kleingartenanlagen", which are often enough a "Verein" with a chairman and so on. - HISTORIC CITIES are the only ones "meddling" in your decisions of what you can build/change, because they are preserving the character of the city AND they have requirements/restrictions for fire safety for example (because if your house burns down due to being badly protected, the other half-timbered houses next door are in danger.
    22
  17. As a german I'd say ... DONT INSULT CAKES by comparing them to american pizza!
    22
  18. 8:30 Reminder: in 1936 Jesse Owens - a black american - won a record number of olympic gold medals ... and that "mean dude" Adolf Hitler ... shook his hand. That "good dude" Roosevelt ... didnt.
    20
  19. Is there any chance of you ... a) drinking from a glass? b) eating with knife and fork? Americans have this trend to turn everything into finger food / not bothering with table manners / culture anymore.
    18
  20.  @timmy7201  Seats on trains are much bigger than on a plane ... so even if there is a sweaty person around ... it is much farther away AND you might even be able to open the window (on a slower train).
    16
  21. I was tempted to "pretend to be from California" [not allowed to ask for an ID] and vote in the US election in the US embassy here in Berlin.
    15
  22. Not until he has been here ... in every part of the continent ... from skiing in the alps ... to driving a car on a test track in Sweden in winter ... to the sandy forest tracks of Poland/Brandenburg ... to the "perfect driving roads" in Switzerland ... and so on.
    15
  23. #1 is the time for JUST THE SURFACE LAYER ... before you can do this you have to prepare the underbed with gravel, possibly put in stones on the side to curb the flow of water, add drainage points, ... you know ... DOING IT PROPERLY. The biggest amount of time is probably spent on removing the old road surface, so constructions do take more than "just a few days".
    15
  24.  @optimusmaximus9646  An important difference is that the USA has never suffered the destruction and humiliation from a war on its soil and the whole "greatest country in the world" PROPAGANDA basically eliminates any self-criticism ... which also prevents any positive change from being implemented.
    12
  25. 15:10 "If english was good enough for Jesus it is good enough for me." - something I remember from a video like this a while back.
    12
  26. If you ever get the chance ... the road from Clausthal-Zellerfeld to Goslar is quite "exciting", because you are driving on the side of "the abyss" ... and it goes down at a quite steep angle, so "accelerating" is a thing that gravity does for you and you need to be sure not to cook your brakes. There are also added "lottery win" [in a bad way] dangers of having some wild animal barge into you ...
    10
  27. a) noise regulations b) general speed limits >>> going on "country roads"
    10
  28. The clip from Germany "isnt that impressive", because ... a) it is the Autobahn and b) it is the LAW to MAKE A RESCUE LANE whenever there is a traffic jam ... before any emergency vehicles even arrive. You cant compare this with "general city jams" ... but having a bus lane that is reserved for such kind of traffic (and buses) might be a start.
    8
  29. Do you mean the roundabout in Swindon ... with the 7 roundabout circles ... which I would be confused by as a german who likes roundabouts?
    8
  30.  @clintonburr852  No ... because the big selling point of metric is that you can SHIFT THE COMMA EASILY! 1 cubic meter = 1000 litres ... that is SIMPLE!
    8
  31. How about "cooked up by a german" on all the proudly displayed rockets that went to space?
    8
  32. *gulf
    8
  33. Please react to the "Fire Departments kill people" video from Not Just Bikes.
    8
  34. In the EU we didnt get to vote about "joining the EU" ... in general ... and those few countries, which allowed their population to decide, had to vote repeatedly until the result matched the desires of the politicians.
    8
  35. There isnt really a "tap water culture" in Germany ... because we have MINERAL WATER (which is filled straight from the well). This obviously costs money.
    8
  36. You might want to try playing "Snow Runner" ... which is a "simulation" where you play a trucker/transporter (there are LOADS of different trucks of different size, but you can have really long heavy load trailers.
    7
  37. On the "road marking on foot" ... americans are not used to walking a few kilometers ...
    7
  38. The divider / "cage" in the back is possibly for A DOG.
    7
  39. There is an american trucker (IIRC the channel name is "Bruce Wilson") who makes "massive" propaganda for SCANIA trucks ... importing one for himself and then showing it to other truckers ... and they are amazed at how much comfort / technology that thing has. Maybe Ian can drive around and make the same kind of "propaganda" ... I mean taste tests are easy to do.
    7
  40. Addendum to "first TV": The first "live TV broadcast" was done in 1936 for the olympic games in Berlin, where they had big cars with a film camera on top ... and the film was spooled down into the truck, where it was developed in a continuous process to have the pictures scanned just a short while after it actually happened. It was time-delayed "live", but the "live" images from the moon landing were on an 8(?) minute delay as well. A bunch of events have their films from 1936 on YT ... and the 1500m men's final has even some in the audience shouting "USA USA USA" ...
    6
  41. I have a VW Passat from '87 ... and will keep it until it absolutely falls apart. It is PEAK PRACTICALITY ... while being bigger AND LIGHTER than our VW Golf from 2007.
    6
  42.  @thomasfranz6467  People with a brain knew that right from the start ... by looking at the example Britain gave. Their train service is terrbile now.
    6
  43. 10 cars honking might block the sound of the emergency vehicle though ... "confusing" the blocker. Sadly people are wearing big headphones or earpods and listen to music "everywhere" these days ... and thus arent listening to their surroundings anymore.
    6
  44. "One of the coolest cars of all time" ... until the next Ferrari.
    6
  45. If he had the time ... he could hand out tickets for that behaviour ...
    6
  46. Have americans invented anything ... without the help of other countries?
    6
  47. In Germany ... even if you are in the "amateur" third league ... you get paid by sponsors, so the incentive to "get gud" starts a few leagues before the "TV leagues".
    6
  48.  @Titan.TheWolf  Finland has "everyday normal people" driving in rallye races ... with a special provision: you have to sell your car for a very low fixed amount ... if someone asks you to, so nobody is adding lots of extras to it and it is all "equal cars" with the skill of the driver becoming the important factor.
    6
  49. It's enough for a car too ... because you creep over them anyways due to the "hill". It's not like there is a lot of traffic.
    5
  50. Actually ... "cars" [taxis] were the reason why the german army couldnt break through the french defenses in 1914 ... because the taxis of Paris brought loads of soldiers to the front line. The first tanks were a danger to their crew, because nobody really thought about the effects of sharp edges, exhaust gas from the engine and noise inside of a tank.
    5
  51. Loads of car brands do not exist anymore, even though they made important cars: - Rumpler made the "Tropfenwagen", the car with the best air-drag-coefficient for a production car until ~70s ... and they were made in 1923 (many of them being destroyed in Fritz Lang's film "Metropolis" and they were mainly used as taxis in Berlin). - the NSU was a pioneer for cars with Wankel-motor
    5
  52. Most / all this footage looks to be "northern Sweden", where they have a "harsh climate car testing area" which many manufacturers go to. Frozen lakes, snowy inclines ... and if you come early you can even do the "muddy autumn season".
    5
  53. It is the complaint of a "tourist" ... and someone who doesnt own a map (google maps is no replacement for a real map which you look at before setting out on a journey, because you can see the entire journey on the real map).
    5
  54. A few grammar mistakes, but an audible dialect too.
    5
  55. I think we had one or two school shootings in Germany ... about 20 years ago.
    5
  56. Airplanes USED TO BE designed to be "stable" (since the planes had to be controlled manually ... it makes the job of a pilot easier). Only with computers can you have unstable planes that need constant auto-adjusting.
    5
  57. It is more important to be able to "hit the brake" than the accelerator, so it makes sense to have that one be BIG.
    5
  58. In 1953 the CIA regime changed Iran from peaceful democracy to brutal military dictatorship (after lying to two presidents to get permission for it) ... with "Operation Ajax". "They got the name from the dish soap" - Deadpool [instead of the greek hero]
    5
  59. ... and as "permanent homes" for small (semi-mobile) hippie/alternative/minimalist lifestyle communities.
    5
  60. "Cops SITTING AROUND for radar traps" is wasted money.
    4
  61. The problem is not necessarily "the IQ dropping" ... but rather - the low-IQ people not knowing/ACKNOWLEDGING that they are stupid and - the low-IQ people are MORE VISIBLE thanks to social media ... and them being far more loudmouthed than 150 years ago It is a bit like "being able to detect illnesses more easily DOESNT mean they are getting more dangerous/prevalent" ... they are just as bad as they ever were.
    4
  62. Those would come via air delivery.
    4
  63. "If you are an american ... you shouldnt own / drive a vehicle." [After watching loads of "fail" videos.]
    4
  64. They are also a nice piece of INSULATION whenever it is full of snow on the outside. Windows are typical cold spots.
    4
  65. So they need to look into bridge construction ... because they typically arent calculated for "being pushed up".
    4
  66.  @stuarthancock571  A "ball" is a spherical object ... which an "american football" most certainly isnt. There is no name for a "two-pointy-ended oval shape", so calling it "hand-egg-bladder" is the most precise description IMO.
    4
  67.  @pikminologueraisin2139  It's NOT that hard ... and what are you talking about? An oven is just an oven ... and you simply need to LEARN / FIGURE OUT how to do it! If nothing else works ... getting a flat stone and putting that in the oven to bake the pizza on is going to work. STOP BEING LAZY / BRINGING EXCUSES! There are videos on YT for everything!
    4
  68. 8:00 "... a lot of people cant see past our borders" ... WELL, when I was growing up - early 70s, West-Berlin - we had a "story" / "diss", which probably came from a statistic, which stated that "only 25% of americans are able to point to the USA on a globe." Seems true.
    4
  69. Just bake your own bread ... it isnt complicated and just takes half an hour (at most) to mix the ingredients and then an hour or so to bake. The most important bit is to find a tin to bake it in (to give your bread a certain shape) ... mine is a coated tin which I dont even need to butter, because it comes out on its own (after cooling down for 20 minutes ... which makes the bread / tin shrink and thus separates the two). Baking your own bread has the advantage that you can determine how much you bake ... half a kilo or a full kilo. Mine is a whole grain bread recipe with sunflower seed (you can also use pumpkin seeds or other stuff) and it lasts about a week.

  70. NASCAR is still boring ... no corners, no excitement other than crashes ...
    3
  71. NASCAR is BORING ... but if it was done on ... - DIRT TRACKS + Asphalt roads - with a case of Moonshine in the back - and some Cops chasing them [and maybe allowing for a "choice of road of different quality to use" ... it might be a bit more exciting. Winner is determined by distance traveled / escaping the cops AND amount of monshine bottles still intact!
    3
  72. Ignorance is bliss ... the one reason that keeps the "we are the greatest nation in the world" alive.
    3
  73. There was a video on how these logs dragged from the forest were cut into big logs for half-timbered houses here in Germany by hand ... but sadly it got deleted. A quite interesting process involving a decline and a really big hand-powered saw where one man was standing on top of the log and just pulled up the saw, while the other one was pulling it down. Sadly this kind of knowledge gets lost more and more every day ... and fewer and fewer people "touch grass".
    3
  74. France has the advantage of having loads of "uninhabited land" where they can simply build a train track in a STRAIGHT LINE for a great distance. Germany or the UK couldnt do that, because there are loads of small cities "everywhere". And some mountains.
    3
  75. Hint: "Hockey" is played on grass ...
    3
  76. "Should be it's own sub-category" ... yeah ... it's called TRASH.
    3
  77. #25 "Formal dances" are not very formal ... because the people dont really know the "formal" (traditional) dances and just do regular "club dancing". I wish europeans would get back and VALUE THEIR OWN TRADITIONAL CULTURE more.
    3
  78. "Chicken Schnitzel" is definetely not german ... it sounds very much AMERICAN ... because a Schnitzel is a piece of meat "beaten flat / tenderised with a hammer" ... which doesnt really work with chicken meat ... and only americans eat that much chicken ... cheese ... strawberries ... chocolate ... chicken EVERYTHING
    3
  79.  @ReaperOfSouls83  A necessary TEACHING EXPERIENCE ....
    3
  80. Not just those ... my VW Passat is also very "clear" in its design and very practical. Car manufacturers hadnt yet completely rounded every corner/edge for maximum wind tunnel efficiency, which meant that you could actually tell which car it is from their silhouette, which becomes impossible after 2000.
    3
  81. One of the great parts about "cars from late 80s/early 90s" is that they are still LIGHT ... compared to 2003+ models, which is when we got "five star NCAP crash test" advertisements ... which pushed car manufacturers to sacrifice EVERYTHING to achieve this ... by ADDING MORE MASS.
    3
  82. Jane Austen has the first written mentioning of the name in her novel "Northanger Abbey" from 1803.
    3
  83. 5:00 Those tourists were LUCKY it wasnt in the USA ... because they might have been shot as home invaders.
    3
  84. ... and ENGINEERING ... to prepare the car for the loads/ABUSE it will be facing.
    3
  85. In addition it is a 100W lightbulb, which means it is high load that should make it break faster.
    3
  86. #3 The police car is escorting a truck with a "lane closing / move over" sign on the back, which is used to close down a lane for a longer time AND it is visible from further away than a few cones on the road. The accident must have been severe enough for it to require such a measure.
    3
  87.  @verttikoo2052  NO G-Wagon is "cool"! It is an ugly BOX.
    3
  88.  @Alias_Anybody  Egg (pedestrians) was first ... because lizards already laid eggs (and pedestrians existed long before Carl Benz).
    3
  89. Architecture changed ~1900 when architects stopped being educated in ART colleges and instead got their degrees from TECHNICAL universities. GONE is the urge to create something BEAUTIFUL to be replaced by MINIMISING COST and MAXIMISING SPACE (for more profit). There was a german professor of architecture [Bruno Specht], who complained about "ugly architecture being built all around us WITHOUT ANYONE COMPLAINING", which would be a good thing, because everyone has to see it while using public spaces called streets.
    3
  90. Heavy Metal musical ... because it is quite loud.
    3
  91. Good thing you cant identify the driver ... right? Good thing our police doesnt analyse the speed he is driving [the length of the white lines on the road is normed, so you can do it] from a video ... right?
    3
  92. 4:25 The brakes AND the DOWNFORCE ... because he is overtaking others in the corners at significantly higher speed.
    2
  93. Wearing a baseball cap ... is a good start, but if they still do it INDOORS it is a pretty sure sign.
    2
  94. Concerning "elevator in 1600" ... there were "elevators" of sorts for mines ... where you had a seesaw with basically two long logs hanging from the ends and one of them was going up and the other down and then it reverses in a few seconds, so you'd have to constantly go from one log to the other, standing on a little platform (large enough for your shoes) and holding onto a handle. It takes a while to get up/down ... but at least you dont really have to climb it and save your strength for the work shift.
    2
  95. #2 looks like "just slap another THIN layer of surface on some already existing road (including imperfections) ... which is NOT a good way to do it.
    2
  96.  @eelco1982  NO ONE - except for the ones who can affor their lifestyle - is really "free". Working for a living is part of life, but the USA is especially bad, because "exploiting fellow citizens is seen as acceptable or even praised.
    2
  97. The siren sounds pretty old school too.
    2
  98. 3:20 Oh come on .. "white men cant jump" and there must be something in the genes of kenians to make them superior runners. 5:20 Just remember ... there is a "Paris, Texas" too! (There is even a movie about that and many MANY "Berlins" exist ... because "you guys" cant make up your own names.
    2
  99. FIRES make up only 4% of all the calls in the USA, so "water pressure" is kinda IRRELEVANT. Again ... watch the "Not Just Bikes" video!
    2
  100. 2:30 That crowded stuff is LONDINISTAN (it's not called London anymore) and you might want to rethink that statement, because that city has TINY ROADS which dont really hold many cars AND HARDLY ANY PARKING SPOTS. Simply go at NON-RUSH-HOUR TIMES ... so ... that video is just as flawed as the statements he criticises.
    2
  101. Competition is GOOD ... but the USA doesnt allow new euro-trucks to be imported ... but the 20 year old ones that can be imported are still decades ahead.
    2
  102. "Driving FAST" is a function of "how fast your car can go" AND "how fast you DARE drive it". My 37 year old VW Passat (with the smallest engine possible at the time) can get up to 160km/h, but ... a) it starts drinking heavily and b) it does feel a bit unsafe (because even though it is a big car ... it is VERY LIGHT - only about 1 ton, less than a modern Golf - and easily affected by wind. It also takes a while to get to that kind of speed, so out of respect for other drivers (and my wallet) ... I wont drive that fast.
    2
  103.  @IWrocker  Maybe "try to be better"? You are the example your children will copy! So stop using that lazy excuse. When I was little we were taught to "keep our elbows to ourselves" with an easy trick: stuff a book in your armpit ... and you need to keep it there. Start this with your kids!
    2
  104. He should probably try to rent one ... if he ever comes to Europe (unless it is with a whole bunch of the family).
    2
  105. Let's hope your FOOD CRISIS gets solved by RFK jr. ... who is poised to "oversee" the FDA in the Trump administration. [But yeah ... Trump is sooooo bad ... because the media told you so.]
    2
  106. The point of Rallye is ENGINEERING and to "test new components" for their durability. Americans dont have Rallye ... and thus they do the "scrap/completely rebuild a car after a jump for a movie" instead of building one car that can take it and drive on.
    2
  107. A baseball CAP ... is NOT "a hat"! It is an ADVERTISING SPACE for some club or slogan or whatever ... and it is UGLY!
    2
  108. @Ian A stabiliser wouldnt work with the guy filming #2 ... it's an italian and that means "big gestures".
    2
  109. Concerning "asphalt" ... this is a SCIENCE to get the right mix for it ... and a part of it ALWAYS is coming from "La Brea Pitch Lake" in TRINIDAD where there are giant lakes of the stuff that bubbles to the surface. The "solidified" surface can be harvested, but you can also break through the surface and "drown" in the stuff. It is an interesting subject.
    2
  110. Berlin ... top 5 of the "greenest / tree-iest cities in the world".
    2
  111. A plane "teleports" you from A to B ... thus you learn NOTHING about the land inbetween, but trains (and cars) give you a feeling about that inbetween space.
    2
  112. I doubt you would do such driving with "amateurs" on the track, where you dont really know how they will react when you approach.
    2
  113. #1 might have been a bit quicker if he'd had - "driven around the block" (but it could be a small village with just one road) - unhitched the trailer and pulled it around separately (unless that doesnt work because breaks become engaged automatically)
    2
  114. "The law" ... but who is going to charge people who dont comply? There might be some ... but an ambulance driver wont take a note of the license plates of cars blocking him.
    2
  115. Baseball CAPS ... are NOT "hats"!
    2
  116.  @UnflatteringRat  Actually ... he is right. Italy had the road that "inspired the Autobahn".
    2
  117. In Germany there are LOADS of half-timbered houses and they do require quite a bit of work to modernise ... while having some limitations (usually the plumbing and electricity and heating was put in in "creative" ways that waste space or arent clearly marked). Buying such a house can be relatively cheap, if you can consider €130.000 "cheap", but you should always include some money for repairs and modernisations. Of course you have to live with historians/inspectors, but that's far better than a completely boring new house.
    2
  118. Next time ... stop the car and tell the "customer" to GET OUT! It would be best to do it in front of a LIBRARY!
    2
  119. As for safety: I recently looked up the figures for DEATHS BY CAR ACCIDENT in Germany ... and it is about 7 per day (82 million people), ~37 from general accidents (at home, workplace), currently ~105 from "the coof" ... the total is about 2700-3000 per day.
    2
  120. The biggest "american problem" is the SUPER EXTRA SIZE OF THE ROADS ... which make any crossing for a pedestrian "a hike". I live in Berlin and the average width of a road is one lane in each direction plus (optional) parked cars on either side. That makes traffic EASY TO "UNDERSTAND" for a pedestrian and thus increases safety due to the fact that you dont have to look out for 3+ lanes of cars at different speeds "aiming for you" (because the pedestrian is a nuisance in the USA).
    2
  121. Having an accident would be far worse than paying for maintenance every (second) weekend.
    2
  122. Whenever I bake my own bread I want to start "digging in" immediately ... and I do a pretty heavy "nutty" bread with sunflower seeds. It has to cool down / DRY a bit though, because otherwise it can not be cut into slices (whenever your knife has dough on it after cutting ... it isnt ready yet.
    2
  123. You forgot the navigator AND the fact that it is a race against time instead of other cars, where a tiny mistake can mean you dont finish at all.
    2
  124. That kind of money wont even be close to enough ... I have a "simple" rebuilding of a 100m² apartment in a half-timbered house that was a shop and will be turned into an apartment ... and the estimates are ~€300.000
    2
  125. Obviously people from Australia speak "'strayan".
    2
  126. Medical cocktail ...
    2
  127. BAKE YOUR OWN BREAD, Ian ...
    2
  128. "Lifting trucks" is for people who ... "have issues".
    2
  129. It isnt just "big corporate" that is preventing IMPROVEMENTS ... it is the general "we are the best country in the world" ARROGANCE that stops many americans to TAKE ADVICE FROM ANYONE ELSE.
    2
  130. Nope ... they are real.
    2
  131. There is a rollbar directly behind their head, they have the necbrace to "stiffen" that area and they are pretty tightly fitted in the tiny cockpit. I'd suspect there is far bigger "freedom to go places" inside a Nascar cockpit.
    2
  132. Metal conducts heat the best ... thus it DRAINS YOUR BODY HEAT if you are on a giant construction high above the ground ... and the "holey" construction of the tower gives easy access to WIND, which can drain your body heat in places where you arent touching metal. As a material scientist I would advise to NOT DO SUCH A THING ...
    1
  133. Fun fact: In POTSDAM (slightly southwest of Berlin) there is a "Holländisches Viertel", which was built 1733-42 in the same style ... except the houses arent built at a canal and they are a bit wider and less tall (2 levels + 1 in the attic) ... because prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm I. was fond of the dutch culture.
    1
  134. The problem with ANTIBIOTICS GIVEN TO ANIMALS is that it is "the last antibiotic we have" ... and viruses always get resistant to them eventually, so it is necessary to constantly develop new ones ... which is hard / becomes harder and harder AND is also expensive.
    1
  135.  @sandersson2813  WRONG ... those killings arent from LEGALLY OWNED GUNS ... and the problematic ones are ALREADY ILLEGAL!

  136. @IWrocker concerning "Toyota Hilux" I'd suggest you watch a video called "A War That Was Fought With Toyotas" (by Count Dankula) ... which explains why these Toyotas became the workhorse of "certain military forces".

  139. 7:30 European houses dont have "closets" because our houses are a) OLD (100 years ISNT old) and b) have far less space to waste on a place where you put far too much clothes in. People had simple TRUNKS for their clothes ... because they didnt own that many of them!

  140. "Thanks mom" ?!?!?!?!

  141. These might be VERY EXPENSIVE ... because I have basically "an enclosed walkway" with glass panes on the top of ~4,5m length ... which each cost around €1000 (15+ years ago).

  142. If american children learned just the names of the countries which their country has destabilised ... they could name at least 3 per continent (except Australia).

  143. 6:10 "What is that?" My guess: the TOILET ... which has been dismantled a few decades ago.

  144. 12:15 Easy: NO ONE ELSE CARES about baseball! It is yet another american sport that is MADE FOR ADVERTISING BREAKS just like American "Foot""ball", which is neither played with a foot nor a ball (which is SPHERICAL and not a "pointy egg shape").

  145. If you're american ... dont come to Germany to drive on the Autobahn either ...

  146. TEXT BASED SIGNS are stupid ... because READING takes longer than "interpreting a STANDARD picture". A red triangle with a jumping deer is pretty self-explanatory for example ...
    1
  147. Pure electric cars are stupid ... and the only sensible way is to have a) a petrol engine to generate the power for the electric motors OR b) have the petrol engine provide the "basic speed" and the electric engines do the peak/acceleration speed and provide power for this. If you look at the start of the round he can get up to 272 km/h, but at the end max. speed is down to 244 ... because the charge in the batteries went down! For this reason you NEED the constant recharge through a SMALLER THAN NORMAL petrol engine/generator.
    1
  148. Americans pay half ... but waste far more, because you NEED TO DRIVE ... EVERYWHERE. In the end europeans are going to spend less on average.
    1
  149. 13:45 Pride of WHAT? Having destabilised yet another country in the world? [Libya, Syria, Ukraine, ...] The point being: LEARN TO CRITICISE YOUR COUNTRY / BUREAUCRATS ... and FIX THINGS! As a german I KNOW about "Kadavergehorsam" ... which can lead to wars (WWI to be precise, NOT the other one).
    1
  150. Cars probably got bigger due to safety concerns requiring them to have a "cabin" that would protect the driver in case of an accident. That requires space and the seating position of the driver goes back quite a bit ... which might also be due to aerodynamics ... i.e. the cars being designed for higher top speed / better acceleration / more fuel economy.
    1
  151.  @agn855  Funny ... how you call him a mobster, when it is the "Big Guy" who is corrupt and "part of the club" that provokes wars and regime-changes nations. Maybe you should stop believing what the media tell you and look at the FACTS, because nothing the [D] have charged him with was actually true.

  152. Ever heard of no-go zones and grenade attacks on police stations? The point is: "Ignorance is bliss" ... and you can declare yourself to be safe by not acknowledging the encroaching danger.

  153. American Jeeps and trucks are simply ADDED WEIGHT to "compensate for lack somewhere else" [trousers]. You DONT need that stuff. Watch the Top Gear Africa special (season 19 IIRC), where they look for the source of the Nile.

  157. Knight Rider's Trans AM would have broken down after "that jump".

  158. "Each state has a different feel" ... maybe you should explain this to your "reaction colleagues" who whine about the recent Roe-v-Wade decision of SCOTUS, which even I as a german understand that this does NOT "make it illegal to have an abortion", just that the federal government doesnt have a say in it ... because it isnt part of the Constitution.

  164. ... which is NOTHING for a population of 80 million.

  165. Electric cars kinda need all-wheel-drive ... because the electric engine works with "magic" magnets instead of physical transmission of power. High speed trains also have all-wheel-drive to not have to make the motor huge.
    1
  166. You can "measure" the speed from the video ... by counting the dash markings on the road: - dash = 6m - space = 12m >>> dash + space = 18m ... 100 km/h = 92,5 "dashes per minute"
    1
  167. The ONLY way to break a speed like this is with MAGLEV trains that run on a magnetic cushion ... thus eliminating friction and heat on wheels.

  168. Just get a horse / horse & cart for driving in the USA ... and take side roads.

  170. 18:50 Oh come on ... your "transport minister" "mayor Pete Buttkick" took a few months off for "paternity leave", even though he and his husband just adopted the baby. Transport / logistics crisis? Nah ... 21:00 "Blah blah DAMNED SOCIALISM blah blah" - some american LIBERTARIAN (a.k.a. self-centered capitalist).
    1
  171. Concerning "taking the whole family" ... these are really awesome vehicles for exploring "wildernesses", because you can stick a whole cabin on the back to live in. That way you are off the ground and probably quite protected from insects. The family cant be too huge though ... but you could also just carry a lot of camping equipment on the back.

  172. The problem with F1 cars is that you NEED TO DRIVE FAST ... to get around the corner safely ... because of the spoiler-downforce. This requires a lot of RETHINKING and COJONES!

  175. Americans shouldnt even be allowed to drive ... or own cars ... anywhere! [Sorry Ian, but "you people" have PROVEN that you are self-centered (and thus dangerous), never learned to properly drive (and thus you have no driving discipline / respect for others), dont even maintain your cars ... that's three strikes against you.]
    1
  176. You should travel to Munich or Berlin, where the last two "Rumpler Tropfenwagen" are ... which was produced ~1924 (or so) and held the record for "best air-drag coefficient of a production vehicle" until some time in the 70s. It was designed by an airplane designer, which is why it looks like a (symmetrical) wing from the top. Apart from that it wasnt really a good car, because the shape doesnt allow for storage space ... and many of them (only slightly more than 100 were made) got destroyed (on purpose) in the making of Fritz Lang's movie METROPOLIS. That being said ... I could see an adaptation of the principle with modern technology: - the driver sits in the middle ... thus right-/left-hand drive doesnt require any changes - it could be modified with "tilting technology" to make it a "sporty" car - the outlying wheels would need covers ... but that could become something "inspired by F1 cars"

  180. Yep ... this is West-Berlin ... tightly packed housing with high garbage density per trip-length. On the outskirts of Berlin we have different ones due to the trips being longer.
    1
  181.  @IWrocker  The USA is a "special" place, because the first settlers were RELIGIOUS EXTREMISTS who were "fleeing from THE ENLIGHTENMENT"[1] ... which is the social change that allowed Europe to develop science, fair laws and humanitarian attitudes. This is the difference between societies run by EMOTION versus LOGIC/REASONING ... and this is the reason why a really large part of americans BELIEVE IN GHOSTS. The "mindset of BELIEVING IN TRUTH" (the bible for example OR a flat earth OR feminism OR american capitalism OR "USA USA USA USA USA") as opposed to PROVING FACTS. SADLY ... starting with the French Revolution ... the "counter-trend to the Enlightenment" started, which also affected Europe ... and is pushing us towards EMOTION as well. For this reason "arguments" are shifted towards EMOTION ... calling it "hate" instead of "criticism" ... because people want to argue on an emotional level instead of with facts. In a sense the US culture is still MEDIEVAL, because you have no problems EXPLOITING YOUR FELLOW CITIZEN ... by paying them a "non-living wage" for example ... so they have to work 10-16 hours per day to make enough money ... basically enslaving themselves! Real slavery got replaced by wage slavery ... which is even beneficial for the employer, because you had a responsibility/interest in a slave you own, but an employee you can hire and fire? Nah. [1] This is the reason why american christians are such ZEALOTS ... nowhere else will you hear people say stuff like "with the help of god we will do [whatever]" or the popular "Jesus Christ our lord and saviour".
    1
  182. In case you wonder what the truck is transporting: that is a tower to REFINE OIL ... which is done by "fraktionierte destillation". - heat up oil - everything evaporates and starts going up the tower - this cools down the gaseous oil according to their evaporation temperature ... which is low for short carbohydrate chains and high for longer chains You obviously need to make sure NO OXYGEN ENTERS THIS TOWER ... which is why the welding needs to be extremely precise.

  183. 11:10 Just look at the bottom left image ... and the TIMES ... 2.03-2.33 ... 3.04-3.34 and so on. Whoever designed that sign needs to be sh... err FIRED from their job!

  184. It seems like a special version for "small operations" (the load seemed rather small) that do not need/want many operators OR collect wood from rather small piles in the forest, where the roads are narrow and winding a lot.

  190. Look at the "Fire Department kills people" video from "Not Just Bikes" for another way the dutch "allow their ambulances/emergency vehicles to MOVE QUICKLY".

  192. Maybe americans should buy some of these ... for all the times when hurricanes replace air with water ... New Orleans might be a good place to have several of them ready (and used for tourists in the meantime).

  193. This is BERLIN ... and all the "bureaucracy/management" trucks and vehicles are kept clean, free of rust and so on. The trucks and vehicles and even the public trash cans typically have a "funny word-play slogan" on them.

  194. Beer in a metal can? HERESY!

  195. Here is a tip for DURABLE HOUSES: *use BRICKS to build them, NOT "cheap empty wall wooden" style. Even half-timbered houses LAST CENTURIES compared to cheap american garbage.

  196. There is a solution to the problem of "not bringing what you dont really need" (thus reducing the wear and waste of fuel): MODULAR "truck + trailers" [That solution hasnt been invented/produced yet ...]
    1
  197. Some dangers get ignored / downplayed in the statistics too ... like the UK, which doesnt really acknowledge the "forceful adult cultural enrichment of young (underage) british girls through old men from mostly one specific country southeast of Afghanistan". They rather demonise everyone talking about it ... and thus thousands of british girls get to suffer ... VERY VERY REGULARLY (once a week with multiple perps is the low number, sometimes it can be every day).
    1
  198. Military budget / power is kinda irrelevant, because these GIGANTIC countries need a lot more to simply "patrol the borders" ... compared to Israel for example AND any potential enemy is either far far away across the sea OR the USA.

  199. @Ace-Of-Spades--- At least we had to have an Atlas in school in Germany ... from the beginning to the end throughout all the 13 years, starting with a simple one for the first few years to a normal sized one for later years. Americans probably never had one. A friend and I use to play "find city/river/mountain" during class ... when it became boring.

  200. 13:00 Top Gear had an episode where the challenge was to "find a car that the parking attendant of a Casino/Hotel in Monaco COULDNT re-park" ... and they came up with a MODEL T ... which was still there next moring (right in front of the entrance). Starting them wasnt easy ...

  201. Americans are LOUD because of their "personal space" being much bigger, so they "need" to shout to let anyone else hear what they said. It also isnt "customary" to yell and react in a movie theater ...

  202. Finland has teenagers rallye vs. grannies and so on. The trick is that THE CARS ARE WORTH A FIXED AMOUNT ... and you have to sell your car to someone if they ask you.

  203. You do not need a Jeep in Germany. Anyone driving one "has issues". If you need a WORK VEHICLE ... you DO NOT BUY AMERICAN!

  204. Suburbia can only be connected EFFICIENTLY (somewhat self-sustaining) to the rest of the city ... AFTER SMASHING IT AND REBUILDING IT, because it is a "MONOCULTURE" of one-family-houses AND NO WORKPLACES, NO SHOPPING, NO RECREATION! Sorry americans, but your city planners are AWFUL and "the problem"! Look at traditional european cities and how they grew in the 19th century: - SMALL and ALREADY EXISTING villages got SLOWLY engulfed by more and more houses - these villages all had a core structure (usually a church and a "high street", which included shops and maybe a blacksmith) - there is a mix of one-family houses and three-storey appartment buildings (usually one type per street) - there are also SCHOOLS in relative proximity ... 5 km (bike ride for kids) distance or closer

  205. 1. Bread is the foundation of CIVILISATION. 2. The USA has TERRIBLE bread ... and thus a TERRIBLE civilisation (that can barely be called "civilised")

  206.  @joseppedaia3673  About 20 years ago I was "stopped" (urged to exit) by the police on the city Autobahn in Berlin ... in the middle of the night ... because I was driving (no one else around) in the middle lane, because the right lane was going to become an exit that I didnt want to take in about 1km. They "reminded" me of the Rechtsfahrgebot, but no fine ...
    1
  207. @iWrocker Learning languages is EASY if you do it the right way: FIRST get the basic vocabulary ... from a "school type of GRIND" (cant be avoided). SECOND get some BOOKS you can DEVOUR ... children's books might be best as a starter ... to learn INTERNALISE the GRAMMAR by READING without "being forced to learn it". [As a "car guy" there is a great story ... "Robbie, Tobbie und das Fliewatüüt" ...] THIRD is watching television / movies in the language for the pronounciation.

  208. This is why you pay a bunch of money and GET A PROPER DRIVER'S LICENSE (for trucks). There is no point "trying to invent the wheel again on your own", when you could have a teacher telling/showing you how to do it.
    1
  209. Look up the RUMPLER TROPFENWAGEN ... which was built in 1923/24 (just ~160 were made) ... and it had the best air-drag-coefficient of a production car until ~1970s. It is an interesting concept but a bit impractical due to "no real storage space" and only two of them still exist (in Munich and Berlin) in museums ... many were destroyed in Fritz Lang's METROPOLIS masterpiece. IF you combined that concept with a "tilting carriage" and a "central steering wheel" ... it could be a neat idea for a sports vehicle.

  210. Europe doesnt have a problem with tornados ... they might exist .. TECHNICALLY ... but they dont do anything.

  211. It is a police car from Bavaria, thus it is "highly likely" to have SNOW / colder winter, thus a heated seat might be a good idea.
    1
  212. 0:50 They could make cars that survive jumps like that (and longer) for many decades, but sadly it is pretty much clear from the footage that the makers of Knight Rider never bothered with actually making a car that can drive away after one of their stunt jumps. They clearly had to rebuild the car internally / get a new car after each of them. Such a shame and a destruction of childhood dreams once you understand it.
    1
  213. 5:55 The HOUSES are CLOSE ... instead of separated by six-lane STROADS. 8:10 Undoing is easy BUT WILL TAKE A LOT OF TIME (and money): you need to START with SUBURBIA and turn each of them into their own little cities with "a center" and A MIX OF BUILDINGS ... with shops and workshops (=jobs) and multi-storey housing (above the shops) and trees on the side of the roads and NARROW STREETS (you DONT have to waste space!) ... and when the people SLOWLY ACCEPT THIS ... you can tackle the center of the big city.
    1
  214. Always remember: these people ARE ALLOWED TO VOTE ... and will probably go to university. What you SHOULD DO ... is a) REQUIRE A BASIC KNOWLEDGE / IQ TEST before being allowed to vote! b) REPLACE ALL YOUR TEACHERS and most importantly SCHOOL BUREAUCRATS!

  219. 13:50 I'd say "getting stiffed" has A LOT to do with this woman's ATTITUDE ... because she is ENTITLED and also A COMMIE (the "tipping is because racism" comment before is her as well, right?).
    1
  220. "Crazy animal" is a stupid theory, because you need loads of time to a) develop the species and then b) A SIGNIFICANT EVENT to make the species go exting again to make it not be known today. tl;dr If a human that was killed by a wound is found it is clearly because of HUMAN INFLUENCE, because ANIMALS WOULD HAVE EATEN THE CORPSE!

  221. Americans think???? I need some evidence for that!

  222. "Amazing bakeries" are DISAPPEARING ... because the job is hard (night shift) and people are used to INDUSTRIAL BREAD from the supermarkets.
    1
  223. Hardly anyone has "a truck" in Germany, because they are NOT NECESSARY! What do you REALLY "need" them for? You use a "white van" for work. Almost no one has THE SPACE for 9 cars ... and you have to pay insurance and so on for all of them. Quite silly.

  224. "Why are Kinder so good?" Do you know what "Kinder" means ... translated? CHILDREN

  225. a) not every country has a Constitution ... ... ... Britain b) all the idiots talking about the war in Ukraine ignore the fact that it started when Obama sent $5 billion "for democratisation", which broke the Budapest Memorandum. The "Maidan revolution" was clearly a regime change, because those protesters got paid (~$20/day) ... as were the counter-protesters [just look up "Operation Ajax" and compare how similar the Ukraine one was to that operation from 1953.]

  229. People who whine about the guns in America are annoying ... because they want to "throw the baby out with the bath water" by making all illegal ... totally ignoring that most violence comes from ... - ILLEGALLY OWNED HANDguns (not rifles!) - people who are CARELESS with their guns (Alec Baldwin demonstrated this perfectly ...) Banning guns would be like banning all cars because some people drive recklessly and get others killed.

  232. On the "slower side of things" ... James May - one of the Top Gear/Grand Tour guys - built his own version of Motorcycle + sidecar ... from MECCANO, which is a children's construction set basically made up of small metal strips and tiny screws. There are also tiny electrical motors ... He did drive around the Isle of Man TT course during race week (during the closed hours) and managed to complete a lap together with his buddy Oz Clarke. It took them HOURS with frequent repairs on the go.

  242. Hint: the yellow numberplate is a sign of the NETHERLANDS ... and the "red-white-blue" stripes (Netherlands) and "yellow-blue" cross (Sweden) are the flags of the countries they move to and fro.

  243. For starters: Just look at the things you have to do to GET A DRIVER'S LICENSE ... The lessons really prepare you for what to expect ... through repetition AND a teacher who will criticise your mistakes. Theory test is HARD ... because you need to LEARN LOTS OF SPECIAL CASES.

  244. (Bio-)Ethanol is actually BAD/EVIL ... because ... - it is made from CORN (hi there Brazil, will you stop chopping down the rainforest?) ... - and thanks to GLOBALISATION / GLOBAL FOOD TRADING (that "food price exchange" is in Chicago IIRC) this increases the prices so MANY PEOPLE IN "TACO COUNTRIES" COULD AFFORD FEWER TACOS!
    1
  245. The problem is the EVERYDAY JARHEADS need to change too, because these might be required to supply a technological component. Accidents - overlooking the specific units required - is easily done! Why keep TWO systems alive ... when you NEED to switch to the SIMPLER metric system for engineering reasons? GET YOUR KIDS EDUCATED!

  247. Well ... some "tourists" in Mexico found themselves in a sort of a hostage situation ... because they had the "everything is fine and Mexico being dangerous is far-right propaganda" mindset. tl;dr "Looking for trouble" is one way of getting into it, but so is "ignoring warnings / not having any common sense".

  248. SUVs are never "excellent".

  250. 3:55 Ummm ... South Africa is a pretty crime-ridden country with white farmers being "moiderised" by a bunch of blacks who get pushed and protected by politicians. There is also a VERY high rate of CAR NAPPINGS ... which might get you kidnapped. This girl obviously lives in a safe city environment ...

  251. Neither in Germany.

  252. Eating reheated stuff from the restaurant (probably using disposable containers as well) will be awful, because the nicely separated stuff ON YOUR PLATE has become "one mixed jumble" during the whole transport back home. HAVE SOME STYLE and STOP BEING LAZY! Make something FRESH. I havent eaten a single bite of peanut butter ... in all of my 55 years.

  253. 9:00 Things get EXPORTED from the USA ... like Halloween ... which ISNT A GERMAN HOLIDAY! [If you want a "scary" day/NIGHT connected with witches in Germany ... there is the "Walpurgisnacht" - April 30th-May 1st -, which is when all the witches renew their covenant with the devil by dancing around great big fires on some mountaintops in middle Germany. It isnt a holiday ... well April 30th isnt but May 1st is the "worker holiday".]

  254. "Bollards" in the US are called FIRE HYDRANT.

  255.  @autobootpiloot  Germany has lots of logging, BUT we also have lots of "small hills with winding forest roads" where the wood needs to be collected. In the USA / the relatively FLAT northern Sweden it is easy to make pretty straight roads / long curves.
    1
  256. "Paris is fffing big". Try Berlin ... 9 times bigger (due to us having a metric crapton of FORESTS and WATER). Berlin has "thin CAST IRON bollards" that are from a time when cars didnt really go that fast, BUT ... we have TREES ON EVERY STREET. Those are great bollards and they also give shade.
    1
  257. Just look at the KNIFE at the front of the Cybertruck ... and imagine what happens to a pedestrian if the two meet "at speed".
    1
  258. Formula 1 cars need warm wheels and brakes to "fully function", so the driver cant go full speed. Driving those things is difficult ... because even the Top Gear guys needed a bunch of hours to "get off without stalling" and also to "take corners AT SPEED" (because low speed will make you go off the track). You have to change your thinking to drive them "correctly".

  259. Sorry, but that car looks TOO FAT ... which is "about right" for an american ... but not a german.
    1
  260. I wouldnt want to get on a bus that isnt driven by the driver. That Mercedes future thing looks STERILE and thus BAD. Buses are NOT "LOUNGES"!
    1
  261. You know those "freezing / boiling" points are NOT PRECISE, because they depend upon PRESSURE, right? The channel "Periodic Videos" has a video where they go up to the Mount Everest base camp and boil water every few hundred meters ... The correct SCIENTIFIC one is KELVIN.
    1
  262. 23:30 As a gearhead you wondered about the amount of horsepower they get from engines (it was in a Rallye video IIRC) ... but american companies are AWFUL at "squeezing more horsepower from a big volume engine" ... because: Americans BUY CHEAP and RUN EXPENSIVELY ... which is why your houses are CHEAP (wood) and REQUIRE AIR CONDITIONING instead of "building a house FOR GENERATIONS" from bricks ... which are COOLING THE ROOMS (in summer) and ISOLATING (in winter).
    1
  263.  @kimmbioplotter6841  The US - which is the "patient to be saved" here - has LOADS of cities built on flat land ... and that is the TRAP, because they have LOTS OF LAND, so it is far cheaper to just build a parking lot outside instead of digging up the basement and have a parking lot under (or above, the other easy solution) the big box store. The key factor is PLANNING.
    1
  264. The USA has been "everyone's enemy" for many decades and behaved like ... A BULLY! The last actual good (=altruistic) things you guys did was the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift. Everything after that was self-centered or outright malicious ... and if you want a hint: look up "Operation Ajax" and think about how the region would look like WITHOUT IT HAPPENING! (The CIA lied to two presidents to get permission for it ...)

  265. The plural of "footage" is obviously "feetage"!

  266. 3:10 Many german streets are flanked by trees ... in cities and along the country roads.
    1
  267. You probably have to start this sport quite young, because you need to train your brain in a certain way of thinking. Older people will start with "this is impossible" and thus make it impossible for themselves.
    1
  268. This needs to be renamed to "how to TORTURE an italian" ...
    1
  269. Germany doesnt just have castles ... but also CITY WALLS around many older cities (well unless they were destroyed by now), because IF you want to wage war in Europe against a far away country ... you most likely go through Germany.
    1
  270.  @CROM-on1bz  The calculation for cost is a bit more complex ... because it will be different ticket prices for "right now" or "in a month" ... and driving with a full family doesnt make the car ride a lot more expensive, but the train ride has its cost multiplied. tl;dr You can find examples for and against both, depending on the situation.
    1
  271. Britain most certainly has FALSE NUMBERS when it comes to "forced adult activity", because there are many MANY young girls there who are abused by "certain gangs" ... with the government downplaying the entire problem and the police actively sabotaging investigations (by deleting evidence given to them by parents of abused 11-year-olds) AND by giving abused girls to the family of an abuser as foster children. I do have a list of 2000+ articles about this subject and gathering them was no fun. [Let's see how this comment gets banned / shadowbanned by "Susan".]
    1
  272. 11:00 Those remarks are "typically stupid/ARROGANT", but making such a statement TODAY is done to "scandalise"/"exaggerate" the story (even scientists need to SELL THEIR "GOODS" - the story). In victorian times people thought about primitive cultures as "savages" ... and thus didnt give them a lot of credit for technological achievements ... but that ISNT TODAYS GENERAL OPINION ANYMORE!
    1
  273. You could also just get knocked over the head by some random lunatic, like Rick Moranis (cf. Ghostbusters) was a few years ago ... and he wasnt in some dangerous part of the city.
    1
  274. "Some people" = americans
    1
  275. Gun deaths have NOTHING to do with the RIFLES they show in the video ... and also nothing with "background checks". Most are from ILLEGAL GUNS ... which MORE REGULATION WILL NOT FIX (they are ALREADY ILLEGAL). "Buying over the counter WITHOUT A CHECK" is a MYTH perpetuated by the gun-banning lobby!
    1
  276. 1:40 I wish americans would learn to build UP for a simple reason: THE ROOF is a major source of HEAT (from the sun), which then REQUIRES AIR CONDITION! Additionally americans should replace WOOD as a construction material with BRICKS, because bricks are COOL, thus further reducing the need for AC (you need to "build in a sensible way" though). Sadly americans like to BUY CHEAP and RUN EXPENSIVE.
    1
  277. "Sparkling" ISNT the important bit: - TABLE water = TAP WATER (with maybe a few additives) - MINERAL water = FROM A WELL (and thus very different mineral content)
    1
  278. A light colour scheme for the interior is a bad idea, because as a work vehicle it is going to be prone to scratching and dirt. Eventually you will have oily gloves / hands ... and it might be difficult to get all traces of that from a dashboard / seat if you touch anything with that dirty stuff.
    1
  279. 9:20 A comparison (might be a bit older figures, but it's the principle): - McDonalds USA: $9/hour (and "experts" call that TOO MUCH) ... and you get vacation days after working there for a year - McDonalds Denmark: $22/hour, vacation days, health care, pension IMMEDIATELY
    1
  280. The USA arent even rich enough to FIX THEIR ROADS ... why should they have a fast rail network?
    1
  281. Concerning food: just name the ONE ADDITIVE in all american food that is causing your problems: SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR SUGAR! Combined with portion size / overeating this is the #1 fattening substance ... because sugar is PURE ENERGY that will get stored in your body fat unless you immediately need it.
    1
  282. We had a bunch of lessons about "extinguishing fires" in chemistry in schools ... and you ALWAYS start AT THE BOTTOM ... basically WITH THE WIND. These guys started at the back and to the left ... after checking the right side with a peek for an overview.

  283. tl;dr ... - USA: sport is BUSINESS - rest of the world: sport is PASSION

  284. 10:05 Looks like a "farming tractor" where the implement isnt attached (to not cut off anyone's legs by accident).
    1
  285. So why are you a fan of NASCAR again? Nothing happens in that kind of racing and they simply drive in circles / ovals.
    1
  286. One-man operation doesnt make sense, because "humans loading the truck" is FASTER than an arm grabbing one bin at a time. It is more expensive, but if you dont have the street space to line up the bins you NEED to have human loaders.
    1
  287. 8:00 Any vehicle that wants to go on the Autobahn HAS TO be able to go 60 km/h ... and tractors like that cant do that.
    1
  288. Almost?
    1
  289. 10:40 Go to Finland and learn to drive from them. They have races with "trash cars" on dirt roads ... and kids and grannies do it.
    1
  290. The big question is ... why americans have stuck with IMPERIAL units ... after kicking out these "imperialists" from their country ... and why they didnt switch to METRIC, which was developed in FRANCE, which was an important factor in the americans actually winning their independence, because the french King decided to keep the Royal Navy busy with a little war of his own at the time. If they had been free to blockade a few US ports it would have been a lot harder to finance and organise (supply-wise) that war.

  291. "That's a steep incline in pure snow" ... and CITY CAR (winter) tyres.

  292. So basically ... any non-american cant buy alcohol in the USA ... because they cant get an american ID?

  293. Drinking it from the bottle MIGHT be "risky" due to the bubbliness. Pouring it into a glass allows you to control it.

  294. Electric scooters belong in the bicycle lane ... and if you dont have them ... you are terrible (which american city planners are 100% of the case).
    1
  295. 1:48 The important bit is the NAVIGATOR, who has a list of notes about the track to the tiniest detail ... "150m straight ... 90° turn right ... 300m straight ... 180° left ..." to let the driver KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT ... and when to use the brakes. 3:25 Why could Trans AM never build a car that can take a jump for Knight Rider???? They destroyed / had to rebuild it every time!
    1
  296. One more reason is that you can get faster around the tighter european roads with a shorter truck/without a trailer, thus saving time on the way to get the next load.

  297. Come on, Ian, "far away" means ROAD TRIP TO BRING IT HOME!

  299. In 1936 Adolf Hitler shook the hand of Jesse Owens ... to congratulate him on winning a record number of gold medals. The US president did not do that.

  301. "How does it come about?" You START and then KEEP GOING. [Grab some money ... and start building your own in the USA ... competition is always great/inspiring!]
    1
  302. "It's very historic" ... WRONG. This is a "pretty part" ... but Germany is being ravaged by HORRIBLE MODERN ARCHITECTURE and slowly being hollowed out from the inside. Just go and visit cities that were bombed heavily ... and had their historic architecture and proportions ruined.
    1
  303. 7:10 That's NOT "the hay" ... that's the GRAIN.
    1
  304. The US still has a bunch of german gold ...
    1
  305. 2:10 The "arm grabbing the garbage cans" is to SAVE COST ... even if it is slower than a human loading the "tilt mechanism" ... because paying another human is more expensive than a machine. 6:00 That guy in green is a post man from the one privately run company that was created after the state-monopoly ran out.
    1
  306. #10 HAS NO POINT ... and it needs a "trailer" to even have a boot for some luggage. POINTLESS CAR! Dear Ian ... you are NOT ALLOWED TO TAKE THE BUMPERS OFF in Europe! That's one of the PROBLEMS with AMERICANS ... (who shouldnt be allowed to drive cars anyways). #11 Americans have NO CONCEPT OF PEDESTRIANS and "first comes the ball, then the CHILD RUNS ON THE STREET". The Cybertruck is not only UGLY, it is DANGEROUS!
    1
  307. The german number of 320 is only THEORETICAL, because you need an actual high-speed line to do it and thanks to the geography and the "equally dense spread of cities" ... they typically have to slow down soon enough again, which makes it impossible to actually reach that kind of speed consistently. There are also noise regulations, which means they cant go as fast as possible. In France there are a lot more areas without villages & cities, so they could actually build a dedicated set of lines for high speed.
    1
  308. As a "mostly cyclist" the point about the brakes is the reason why I am categorically against ELECTRICALLY POWERED BICYCLES ... because people speed up to "faster than they would normally go" ... and wont be able / used to STOPPING REALLY HARD. Many bicycles wont even have the brake power to do it and I know from personal experience that "going hard on the brakes" might result in you flying across the handlebar.

  309. They should add some metals to the fuel ... so they show some pretty colours instead of the standard orange-yellow.

  310. IF you want to be in a "capital city" in europe AND have a beach ... come to Berlin, we have LOTS of them but not on an ocean, so dont expect any waves. Please EDUCATE YOURSELVES before coming here though.

  311. I'd drive 50 km/h on those one-lane roads ... in the daylight.
    1
  312. "It'd be fun to try" [crane operating] well there are some places where you can "drive heavy equipment for fun for an hour" ... maybe you have such a place nearby where you can also operate a crane (or digger ... which is more or less the same).
    1
  313. "Offensive" and "racist" does NOT make sense ... and is rather "current year WOKE CULTURE" ... which sadly has taken over Australia quite strongly. The reason why this is bad is because "offensive" and "racist" are SUBJECTIVE TERMS, which are always using the judgement of the LISTENER and the INTENTION OF THE SPEAKER IS IGNORED!

  314. lady woman Hardly any woman fulfills the REQUIREMENTS OF NOBILITY to get the title "lady".

  315. I've boycotted Coca Cola since 2006, because it is a horrible corporation that a) they pump out all the ground water in India to the point of having the water level in the wells in nearby towns sink to "muddy water" level, b) they cheat with subsidies in the EU ... and more.

  316. Fresh powder snow isnt heavy ... but when the sun comes up and gets a chance to melt some of it ... that's when it gets heavy.

  317.  @Real_Claudy_Focan  The annoying part about Lindt is their "pricing", which they themselves print on their packaging ... and then the stores sell them as "30% off" all the time. I currently have a "winter craving" for "Belgian pralinés" ... which taste super awesome, BUT it is a german discounter brand version, so its not going to be "top of the line" belgian chocolate.
    1
  318. Just dont let Richard Hammond drive the Rimac ...
    1
  319. Concerning "cars from the USA" I still have the complaints of the Top Gear/Grand Tour trio in my ears ... complaining about only getting a tiny amount of horsepower out of a large volume engine. MAYBE this has something to do with "the metric system", because "1/10th of a centimeter" is a lot smaller than "1/10th of an inch", which probably affects tolerances as well. [/sarcasm off] (We also dont have the road space in Europe to accommodate supersized american cars, there is one Hummer "around the corner" and it is too big on the outside while not giving a lot of space to passengers inside.)

  321. The "best job in Berlin" is driving a ferry near my place, which is a short round trip of ~30-40 minutes every hour ... and it is a slow and fully electric (=quiet) ship with all the steering it needs ... and it is an actual ferry, so a public transport ticket is enough. This ferry is active during the "nice months of the year", so start of april to end of october. There is absolutely no stress involved ... and you have ~20 minutes of "free time" every hour and you work "outside" while sitting most of the time. It might get boring after a while, but the "captains" usually have a tablet or so with some movies.

  325. The bit about "you can make a relig..." during the French Revolution is actually true, because they were thinking about having a "church of the superior being" (god or something) ... to ditch the pope.

  326. Nascar should just make a "world tour" of not-so-oval tracks ... and include the Nürburgring.
    1
  327. 10:00 That is CLEARLY FRANCE ... from the style of houses alone. If you were to look into different housing styles of different countries you could easily see the difference and it has to do with LOCAL BUILDING MATERIALS and also "architectural influences over time".
    1
  328. I find the different languages of the commentators interesting ... but to americans they probably all speak "european".
    1
  329. 10:00 That house is an ARCHITECTURAL ABOMINATION! We USED TO have architects skilled enough to build beautiful houses, but there are none anymore ... they have been replaced by "Bauingeneure", who design houses according to geometric shapes in a computer.

  333.  @Gordoxgrey  How many people are shot by LEGALLY OWNED "high powered guns"? How many people are shot by RIFLES (which the "high powered guns" you moan about are) compared to handguns? You belong to the bunch of hypocrites who want to ban ALL because SOME ILLEGALLY OWNED guns are used for lots of shootings. Would you ban ALL CARS just because SOME BAD / DRUNK DRIVERS are running people over? PROVE your point by looking up the statistics of how many people die from LEGALLY owned guns; rifles are a very small fraction of overall deaths in the USA. tl;dr Stop listening to Democrats, CNN and MSNBC making false statements. Oh and "a gun" doesnt kill anyone, "the damaged person pulling the trigger" does ... so maybe it would be a good idea to CARE for the OUTCAST WEIRD BOYS in schools ... to make them "feel welcome in society", because "there is something worse than being all alone in the dark: being all alone IN A CROWD!" (Babylon 5)

  334. The VW Golf is ... OVERRATED ... because it has been FATTENED over the last 30 years with far too many gadgets increasing its weight and decreasing the performance / REQUIRING MORE POWER (than they should).
    1
  335. The problem is the american STROADS ... because roundabouts are there to make crossings easier for high volume crossroads ... to prevent the "cars stuck on the crossing" problem ... but you NEED TO SORT OUT YOUR LANE BEFORE THE ROUNDABOUT ... which isnt good for american "always drive left" driving style. Oh and roundabouts are ROUND ... and americans only do 1/4 mile STRAIGHT RACING (even Nascar doesnt have REAL corners).

  338. BAKE YOUR OWN BREAD! It is not that complicated ... and there are many varieties you can make. The most complicated part is finding a GOOD TIN to bake it in.

  339. "Awesome sunny weather"??? Yeah, your brain is fried ... because that is too effing hot to live in ... AND you guys SUCK at building good houses, so you NEED air conditioning for those cheap wooden things! USE BRICKS ... which are cold(er) and thus automatically provide cooling for the house AND build UP instead of wide, so your roof size is smaller!
    1
  340. These plans take DECADES ... because you have to "fight for every bit of green". FFFFF expensive ... which never includes the cost of not doing it. Doing it "to become powerful" is a terrible motivation though, because POWER is never a good reason.

  341. Villages always start with one street ...
    1
  342. The bus system works for locals who use the bus ... but it is hard for tourists and others who are new to the area. Even 50 years ago our bus drivers would (occasionally ... if you had a nice one) announce the next stop over the speakers.
    1
  343. THE RULE ... for "2-way streets with parked cars blocking one lane": The car which is driving down a road "on the wrong side" has to look for an empty space inbetween the parked cars and temporarily make way for the other car! You do not "push the other car back all the way ...

  346. #1 is a 3-lane Autobahn and the emergency lane should be between the leftmost and the middle one, but the trucks in the middle lane are on the leftest side of that lane, which should never ever happen. When you approach a clear jam you adjust your position in your lane! Fines are very well justified!
    1
  347. 5:40 It gets even better: WHAT IF ... all McDonalds employees "found better jobs"? Who would flip the burgers? Or worse: collect your garbage! The "american way" is to HAVE TWO JOBS and make up for low wage with EXTRA HOURS! This is a seriously stupid concept.
    1
  348. Not just the "customer side" is better: - USA: $9/hr wage, vacation days AFTER working for a year - Denmark; $22/hr wage PLUS vacation days, health insurance, pension benefits The USA is still in the MEDIEVAL MINDSET, where it is totally fine to EXPLOIT YOUR FELLOW CITIZEN by paying them less than a living wage!
    1
  349. How about ACTUALLY PLAYING GAMES ... instead of sitting in a stupid stadium, stuffing your mouth with nachos and hot dogs and burgers, gushing it down with soft drinks? Rugby beats American Football Handegg any day ... and you can blame the Samoans / Australians about that.

  350. This was also one of the two important steps - the other was Gallileo Gallilei - that allowed the Enlightenment to happen, leading to the creation of "the West". Sadly the concept is under attack by religious ideologies ... from feminism, communism to "carpet kneeling invaders that intend to violently destroy it".
    1
  351. In addition to this the traction of the cars is reduced at lower speed due to the missing downforce of wind ... which is why they can take other corners at "reasonably high speeds", but not that one. Rallye cars are probably the ones getting through there the quickest, because they are able to drift.

  355. #13 Pledge of allegiance ... but what about FREEDOM OF OPINION / CHOICE? That pledge sounds like INDOCTRINATION and reminds me of the culture we had in Germany before WWI ...

  367. The USA can rename what it wants ... like renaming French Fries into Freedom Fries ... but no other country has to follow their delusion. Example: the channel between France and Britain ... or Germany/Deutschland/Tyskland/... They just make themselves ridiculous ... oh and if it was this easy to change things ... Trump should executive order METRIC to become standard in the USA.
    1
  368. Obviously I'd take a Unimog ... because the weight in it is utilitarian and not for "a far too wide/big car" ... roads in europe are narrow and the Humvee is designed by americans for american roads.
    1
  369. Comparing the "Rettungsgasse" on the AUTOBAHN to CITY TRAFFIC situations is not really a valid comparison. It should be "ambulance in a city, which is typically "people moving out of the way quickly", because every time you hear the siren you start to look around to find out which direction it is coming from ... to see if you need to make room and to where.
    1
  370. A "mate" is a PARTNER IN A FAMILY (cf. animals) ... and since it is pointless trying to marry a modern american woman ... the term isnt appropriate anymore.
    1
  371. This is HILARIOUS!
    1
  372. 2:20 The point is also that you DONT SPREAD THE CITY OUT AS MUCH ... and thus "big stores" are far closer together, so you can park in one underground lot and reach several of them with the same walking distance as you can from one US parking lot. This "tightness" obviously makes PUBLIC TRANSPORT more appealing, because you have one stop for several shops instead of one stop for every store.
    1
  373. A HUGE part of these is the potential to SAVE ENERGY, because they get heated up easily by the sun and if you have the door/window to the house open it can get inside ... or at least it will keep the wall from being too cold.
    1
  374. The USA has been behaving as a BULLY for many many decades ... just think about when they did their last "good" (=altruistic) thing on the planet. The last thing I can come up with is the Marshall Plan and the Berlin Airlift and probably the Korean War ... anything after that/besides it was self-serving ... like "Operation Ajax" from 1953, which completely screwed over the future of Iran and also "Arabia", because the CIA/USA felt it was necessary to push Iraq into an 8 year war against Iran ... with a million deaths (plus poison gas attacks) ... and more.
    1
  375. The TRULY IMPORTANT part of "Europe is like nowhere else" can not be photographed ... because it is THE ENLIGHTENMENT ... which americans never took part in ... and yet it is the foundation of "the West".

  379. 2:50 "Sicherheitsverwahrung" is basically "securely locking him away". TYPICALLY prisoners get to work in an internal workshop every day, but with that he probably lost that privilege. Jordan Peterson once said "the West is a place where we even treat our prisoners with DIGNITY". Now take that and apply the US standard of prison ... and draw the correct conclusion.

  380. 15:40 That "side bit" seems to be a BICYCLE LANE ... because this is a "small rural road".
