The Samsung Galaxy S5 is rated as IP67, meaning it can survive submerged in up to 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. Unless you have a very large toilet or incredibly slow reflexes, it'll be fine.
"Hi! I want to get to know you" is "what are your hobbies/where do you work/what music are you in to", not "To me you look different, so I'm going to assume you're not from 'round these parts, and enquire as to your specific ancestry, as my understanding of 'you' extends as far as your outward ethnicity". Knowing someone's ethnicity or family story is not knowing the person, but knowing their circumstances. So no, your "accurate interpretation" is not so accurate after all. If that's small-talk, it's the laziest small-talk there is. It's up there with "nice shoes" or "lousy weather we're having" - you will likely get a response but it will tell you next to nothing about the person it was directed towards.
USA: 7.6 per billion km driven Germany: 4.9 per billion km driven
You do know what numbers are, right? Are you really this dense, or does the idea that the US might not be the most perfectest place in the whole wide world fill you with some sort of dread, as if you perceive your own self worth is pinned more on the country you were born in than of your own character, so you lash out and ignore what hurts you to preserve the charade that you are, in fact, a worthy individual?
Only if the number of deaths per X unit of distance were the same, which they are not. The US isn't looking too good when it comes to the statistics...
I clumsily meant if, over night, the speed limits on US roads were raised to those of the Autobahn, with nothing else done. So the answer would be "all of them" (and "all of them"), and result in incredible TV.
USA: 7.6 per billion km driven Germany: 4.9 per billion km driven UK: 4.3 per billion km driven Ireland: 3.4 per billion km driven.
So no, you are wrong. Again. What a shock. By every single metric US drivers are worse than the majority of those in other western countries. You can't waive your hand at those statistics. Indeed, if you want to fix the problem, first you have to admit it.
Usually German cars keep to the right until they have to move over to pass someone, which they only do when no-one faster is in the next lane coming up on them. To sit in the left lane when there is no need to is highly frowned upon, and rather stupid, as people can fly up on you doing over 200, forcing you to merge back over in short notice, when you should have been there anyway.
They have no say in the matter? Then the company in question is a joke, and to blame anything outside the company when that's the state within is sheer insanity.
You can check the road safety statistics to see just how dangerous it is on US roads compared to German ones. Clearly you don't want to know, otherwise you'd have performed the seconds-long searches and educated yourself. I guess it's easier to ignore problems than actually admitting they exist and attempting to fix them.
You can keep desperately trying to pin all this information on people simply hating the US, but all that will do is ensure you keep having pointless traffic fatalities, poorly-maintained roads, even worse cars, and so on.
I believe the poster was talking about the B-roads which generally run in similar routes to the A-roads (the Autobahns). The B-roads are for slower traffic, and offer a respite for people not wishing to share the road with people thundering past.
Somewhat true, but the Germans are much better trained than US drivers, including basic medical training and required safety equipment, should anything go wrong, and so on. Their vehicles are also more highly maintained. Also, let's not forget that the Autobahns are usually engineered to a very high standard.
I live in Germany, and so I might have seen a bit more of the Autobahn than you have in recent years, and I've not had the impression of dangerous foreigners driving all over the place. I'm not saying you're wrong, but the problem doesn't seem as bad as your post painted it.
I shudder to think what would happen if US drivers were let loose on roads such as the Autobahn in their cars, with their proficiency, and their respect for the rules of the road - it'd make some great TV:)
"We", or "polite society" as it is commonly called, decided that allowing anyone to die a needless death is abhorrent (regardless of any single characteristic you can pin on them), and in a separate move, decided that people who discriminate based on superficial qualities such as race are clearly not functioning rationally (owing to the simple fact that one can't rationally come to the same conclusions using only evidence and critical thought).
Trying to spin it into some "them vs. us" thing where you're the poor guy caught up in the middle for simply being honest is only serving to highlight how woefully irrational you are, or how startlingly ignorant you are of the history of western civilization. Either way you end up looking like a knee-jerk buffoon who is quite happy to fester in his own two-dimensional, black and white world, where nothing more than a cursory glance is required to accurately appraise very complicated situations, and anyone who says otherwise is saying so simply to be PC.
That would make sense if Amazon only offered their Christmas-peak infrastructure, and no more. As that's not the case, your argument is nonsensical.
It's quite likely the cloud is helping, as now companies can fire up new servers and load balancers to deal with increased traffic in seconds, instead of quickly reaching the limit of their limited in-house, geographically-constrained infrastructure. These servers are located around the world, in places best suited to serve the increased load, giving a real benefit to the hosted sites and the users of said sites.
Or you can just keep on shouting "durrr durrr cloud! durr!" and show everyone you really don't understand how the internet works these days. That'll really help.
Nope. As has been pointed out elsewhere, the loading of tracking code usually happens after the page has been rendered. This is because the tracking/analytics code doesn't want to affect the loading or delivery of the page, as they are used to measure that (amongst other things).
Republic: a state in which supreme power is held by the people and their elected representatives, and which has an elected or nominated president rather than a monarch.
Democracy: a system of government by the whole population or all the eligible members of a state, typically through elected representatives.
The two are not mutually exclusive. There are republican democracies, republican dictatorships, democratic monarchies, and dictatorial monarchies. It's amazing how many people don't understand these two words, and see fit to complain that people don't understand them.
I don't think you've thought this one through too well. In a country with a national health service, the administration of said service tries to figure out ways to reduce spending by highlighting behaviors and practices which needlessly chew up lots of resources. These services put pressure on institutions which encourage or promote such behaviors/practices to either make them safer, to fund the burden they cause, or to stop them. If the pressure from the health service doesn't work, the service can approach government to figure out a solution. Simply suing schools (and endangering students' education) is hardly a sensible approach to issues such as this. It is possible, and sometimes highly desirable, to right wrongs outside of courts, at least outside of the US anyway (ducks).

Well, many more people in the US die on the roads per capita than in Germany, so you're not surviving as well as the Germans are, that's for sure.
I have to post this again?

They were not created by Hitler. That's a common claim, but simply untrue.

From above, fatalities per billion km driven:

Your parents and society failed you massively.
So you are presuming they're hosted in "the cloud" and then assume that's what's causing the slowdowns? Holy ass-delving, Batman!
So your dev team made some horrific choices, and that's the fault of JavaScript? Interesting.
