  • Well all inhabitants were pretty much thrown out or fled to Germany in fear of persecution. Then Stalin filled it up with ethnic Russians.

    They do have their own identity afaik, but it stems more from the connections they made with the neighbours: Lithuania and Poland.

    I don’t know how deep it goes, but Kaliningraders were more against the war as it inconvenienced them in doing their shopping in Lithuania.

    Btw it’s only half of East Prussia, the southern half was given to Poland.




  • It’s a programming joke. If you declare variables or set a value to a space in the storage, this space is blocked even after the programme is done using that variable. So to write a programme with efficient use of storage, you have to free the storage space after you are using it.

    Many programming languages use a routine called “garbage collector” to free unused storage space.

    So, if you don’t want to be a garbage collector, you have to assign storage space manually.

    Edit: because of the other comment, I thought this was c/ADHD. So the text reads a bit weird. Sorry.

    Original: Firstly, sorry, I’m commenting as a person who doesn’t have ADHD (that I know of). But I always feel a certain way when people in general say, that there’s nothing to do. Now, I don’t know in which capacity ADHD affects you in creating or finding things to do. But I feel like, there could always be something to do.

    Here are a few examples:

    • make a wreath out of flowers
    • practice your handstand
    • guess cloud shapes
    • take a plunge in the lake
    • let flower petals float on the lake
    • built one of those stone towers that hikers always do

    Or honestly, hiking back sounds like a good idea. Half an hour is an acceptable amount of time to stay at the peak/ any resting spot.

    German actually has more freedom in word order within a sentence.

    Ich gehen nachher noch zum Laden.

    Nachher gehe ich noch zum Laden.

    Zum Laden gehe ich nachher noch.

    Zum Laden gehe ich noch nachher.

    And slang, like every language has slang. “Kommst du Fußball?” Some people will sneer at it, some use it every day. Or the shortening of word endings (neben ->nem’)(kannst du -> kannste)
