Well, obviously it is coupled together with the requirement to drive the rightmost lane possible and fine those who use the left lane without a good reason (for passing vehicles, that is).
It generally works well, except for some arseholes in fancy cars who are convinced that the traffic law is mere guidance in their case.
Cyclists are known to run red lights a lot, too. Doesn't mean they should. And I write that as a sort of an avid cyclist myself (50 km every working day).
But assuming that you didn't cheat and use a phone that is essentially the same, hardware-wise, as a supported phone (which I believe you did)
Not the same, just sort of close. I use HTC HD2, which is a phone that originally came with Windows Mobile 6.5. It runs the latest Android quite well, if a bit slow. It also runs Linux and Windows Phone.
And you ALSO realize, of course, that you have no life, if you have time to mess with that, instead of just doing what the rest of the 99.999999998% of the Android users do, and simply purchasing an Android or iOS phone, right?
If you don't have time to do something, then you have no life. I do have life so I use my time to do things I am curious about instead of living in a perpetual rat race.
Besides, why replace a phone that is pretty good hardware-wise and still works perfectly well? It is not an iPhone, I can actually replace the battery and install custom software on it.
Out of power? Bwahaha! It has been over a decade and they still call Karsai "the mayor of Kabul" precisely because outside of the capital city the Taliban are still in power.
As I said, just lazy. I live half an hour from work by car, I still use a bicycle. No showers at work, and you don't really need them because you don't stink if you use sports clothes for sports and just change at work.
It is reasonable. Just not convenient enough to you. Well, tough luck, either drink or drive. But then you probably won't get laid that often because of higher standards when sober.
Not really. Germany had not much say back then about the EU. France pressed Germany to let everybody and their dog in as a condition for the reunification.
In generally, people don't fear firearms themselves (well, a little bit, because these tools can be dangerous), the people fear wackos with firearms. Nothing irrational about that.
Oh, by the way, if armed home intruders are the norm where you live so people can only get by by arm themselves to the teeth, then you live in a truly failed society.
I see heroin addicts every time I cycle through Frankfurt city. German society is functional. Methadon is available. The addicts are still walking dead. So yes, own stupidity - the number of involuntary heroin addicts in Europe is miniscule. Besides, you cannot lead a happy live as a heroin addict - after a while the stuff pretty much destroys the ability to feel happy.
Yes, really. Besides, nobody desomorphine krokodil, except for the yellow press. The only ones who use it are heroin addicts who cannot afford heroin anymore and are walking dead anyway. This is not a result of prohibition but of stupidity. Heroin addicts aren't those who would sit in the corner looking at pretty colours. If they'd wanted to do that, they'd stay with LSD instead of heroin because there is no difference in illegality and LSD is cheaper.
You don't see a bicycle with a dynamo for two reasons 1) A large part of bikes sold are MTB-wannabes, they don't have a dynamo in first place since they are meant for sports. 2) Most bikes sold with a dynamo come with a hub dynamo nowadays. The better ones have got an efficiency of 60%-70%, depending on the speed (higher speed means lower efficiency due to eddy current, higher bearing friction and so on). Still, you get a guaranteed 3W at 6V. You can even charge your phone with it, in addition to the lights. Still, a loss of 2-3W while biking is mostly negligible. You get way more loss if you use knobby tyres on a paved road.

Try gyokuro, you'll change your mind about "tea tends to have a much lower concentration of caffeine".
I used to have the same problem, then I got fit enough to ditch the train for all distances under 25 km (also uphill).

Open enough for me to type this post on a phone which did not even have android installed when I bought it and runs the latest ics now.
It is, for a while. But it is worth every cent.

I don't live in a city. Have used public transportation in the past, use a bicycle now. Never in my life have I been so fit.
Admit it, you are just lazy.
Until he is arrested for drunk driving and loses his driving license.
What is with you 'Merkins and your "I've got a right to behave like an arsehole" attitude?

No, Germany is.
Stanley Milgram disagrees with you.
Come on, elitist, really? British tea sucks, that's why they put milk into it in first place.
If it was just a subspecies, why were there no offspring with other subspecies?

What the smeg does "Howdy doodly do" mean?
That is pretty much standard for white collar jobs in Germany.

Yeah, just like the airplane manufacturers which are frozen in place with crippled 1950's era technology... oh wait, they aren't.
Yes, really.

Is it? The prohibition in the USSR that actually increased the life expectancy proves you wrong.
