Well, I think it actually makes sense if you read the arrow like you would on a map. Up is straight ahead, down is backwards and left and right are... well, left and right. Are the buttons usually mount differently, i.e. on the side of the pole instead of the front as it is the case here?

Ok, I guessed something like that.
Makes sense and seems like a good idea. Would be a nice thing to have here also.
I know of several crossings with multiple installations on the same post where it is not always clear which push-button belongs to which crossing (although it is usually the one in front of you or the one behind you, not left or right).
I also suppose you have to push the arrow to "reserve" the next traffic light phase for crossing?

A very loud (i.e. present in social and normal media) but in my everyday life almost none-existent group of people.
They seem to have migrated from Diesel-against-Greta-"Empörung" (is there an English word for that?) to Corona-deniers and now to fighters in self-proclaimed cultural wars against green topics and a tolerant society. All sprinkled with some deep right-wing views.
Might be different in other parts of Germany though, my sample is mainly taken from Bavaria and south-western Germany.
I personally know of only two families leaning into Schwurbler-views - out of hundreds of chilled ones. One of these actually drives a Pickup. But also owns a house with a solar roof... so... well.

You live abroad now?

Care to elaborate for non-British/Irish people?

Has it ever been?
I mean, outside of some mostly right-wing bubbles that are trying to exaggerate it as some kind of oppression symbol in a cultural war that happens mainly in their heads?

Most people I know treat the topic from a rather rational perspective regarding the pros and cons of EVs in their specific situations.

I am from Germany and what brand of car your are driving is often seen as a statement, often associated with a certain social group.
Although I have observed that this has been constantly diminishing over the years.

Just vague enough to not directly violate Rule 6 of this sub ;-)

Following what I have learned during my Catholic upbringing:

Spearfighting.

One of the neighbouring churches we went to was named after St. Michael and has this totally kick-ass statue on the side altar showing St. Michael stabbing the evil devil/dragon thing with his spear.

Apart from that, almost all Christians where I live don't believe in Satan as an actual entity, but more as a helpful symbol to illustrate the abstract concept of evil.

Church in my region generally revolves more around the positive compassionate concept of "Be nice to each other" than relying on a supernatural bogeyman that tries to lay you traps.

They were still in there?

Well, speaks for itself that they now officially left and before that already didn't cooperate.

Ich siniere fast jedes mal wenn draussen unterwegs bin, welche riesigen Flächen in meiner Wohnsiedlung auf Dächern in optimaler Ausrichtung für Solar verfügbar wären, aber komplett leer sind.

Und jedesmal gibt es mir einen kleinen traurigen Stich in der Magengrube, weil ich weiß, dass sich daran nichts ändern wird.
Große Eigentümergemeinschaften sind halt unglaublich träge. Keine Chance, dafür alle an Bord zu holen und in Eigenregie die Dächer mit Solaranlagen zu bestücken.

Wünschte, an meinem Wohnort würde es auch so ein Angebot geben, senkt die potentielle Einstiegsschwelle gewaltig!

TIL that while Eicher in Germany is long dead and gone, its Indian partner company still produces tractors.

Other than that, this post sounds like an advertisement and probably also doesn't belong in this sub...

I am actually somewhat jealous that you just tried that and succeeded.
VW charged me ~100€ for selling me a new one and teaching it in.
So you can actually just crack it open and just exchange a standard battery...? Ok, where is my butter knife?

Instruktionen unklar. Habe mir selbst ins Bein gebissen. Aua.

The fondest memory I naturally have for the first RPG that I ever played.
And, well, it probably is the very definition of "niche".

I present you HASCS, the Hack And Slay Construction Set, a German project on Atari ST back in the 80s to provide an easy to use environment for the development of an early kind of RPGs.
Games looked like that:

My very first RPG was "HASCS - Allein in Eritra", distributed via Shareware-3.5''-disk.
I still fondly remember being killed by my first encounter with a random snake during the first 20s dozens of times in a row until I finally figured out what to do :-)

Guys, that is a reeaaaallly slippery slope. Don't. Just don't.

-A concerned German-

Interesting connection I just made:
I was wondering about the Hamburg reference and if there was a connection to the Beatles (from Liverpool) mania of the 60s that started in Hamburg...
Turns out I have been right, the linked page basically says that the pic was part of a Beatles photo report of the Stern (famous German magazine from Hamburg) depicting the English youth culture of that time.
The other pics in the series are also worth a look!

Interesting...
I had the conflict with f-droid in my mind, where the Signal developers were very specific about not wanting any Signal builds distributed outside of the Playstore.
That seems to have changed...?
But still no build distributed via f-droid, I just checked. But that may still be because the f-droid maintainers really where pissed off at the time...

Brauche Rat: Habe mit dem Männchen geschlafen und habe nun das eifersüchtige Weibchen am Hals...

Ah, war anscheinend bloß der Default-Vorschau-Browser auf dem Handy mit überambitioniertem Script-Blocking...
Danke!

Curious as our pedestrian crossings don't have arrows at all:
Where is it supposed to point and how does it work?
