They weren't "as good", but were "much better". Were you expecting something different from the members of "The CodeProject - Community of .NET Developers"* or "The CodeProject - Your Visual Studio .NET Homepage"*? 
But to be fair, I voted Microsoft a 5 "mainly" because of Visual Studio and HoloLens and I am sure other members also didn't vote Microsoft just because of they were .NET Developers.
* These were official taglines of the CodeProject back then. 
Your time will come, if you let it be right.

... and my genes tell me that it's high time to prepare for Karneval[^]. Indeed I should have been active since november now, but I'm stuck in an area where this tradition is almost unknown. Right now Apfelkorn[^] and Kölsch[^] don't help very much and actually bring back the first language I ever learned.[^]
Edit: Just a little drunk post. Seems to be a tradition here, so don't think too much about it.

the link to Karneval was fun - I saw the ugly Schiachperchten/Perchtenmaske mask at the bottom - ugh !!
I thought the link to 'Colognian' (language) was interesting - from the point of view, that if "Dat hätt dä esu jesaat " has 11 meanings, that's pretty imprecise from an overall German point of view

When I'm waiting for the train tomorr today, I would much more like to yell "Kamelle, de Zoch kütt!".
That, of course means the Parade in Cologne in two weeks, not a train.
Edit: 'Dat häs du esu jesaat' actually is very precise by being not precise. It's a classical paradoxon and also includes pretending to takes puns literally. Garth you also must have the gene whitch all the Bavarians around me lack.

Ok Garth, I have something for you. Do you want to hear that dialect? Then watch this. You will not understand a word, but I love the smoring and the squeaking throne, just as the totally unprecise meaning of most of the dialogue:
Many Germans will not even understand this[^]
And here we have one with (German subtitles): Have fun.[^]
"Unter uns jesaat: De Imperator is net sone leeve Jong wie ich et bin!"

lol ! - you're right, the first I had no chance of - even the second, with the subtitles, was well above my schoolboy German
I had to remember enough German to be a polite tourist last year, while I was in Erlangen for a week - it was fun, but taxing, and, it wasn't really required of course (but I always think its better to have at least hello, please, thanks etc in the local language)

In years of highschool, none of my teachers was able to correctly pronounce my last name. German can be unpronouncable for anybody used to English, so howerver good yor skills may be, they certainly are an achievement.
On the funny side: In an on oline course, somebody from England tried to prove that German is an ugly and harsh language with a file of himself reading some text. One of the comments: "It IS a ugly language. At least if you pronounce it like a Klingon."

I used to think way back when I was at school that German was a harsh (I wouldn't say ugly) language - for German, we had a Vietnamese teacher who spoke 5 languages, for French we had an old British gent who had been sheltered by the French resistance after coming down on the wrong side - so he at least had spent time in France.
I was (very) delighted on having gone to Erlangen, through Frankfurt and back to Frankfurt on the way out, that German as spoken in reality is musical and sing-song (although not as sing-song as Swedish)
... and there's nothing like being in a hotel & bar in Frankfurt watching the World Cup Final, surrounded by passionate Germans

Sorry, but that's called stalking, then the police will take you (home?) instead.

It was him and I guess he now needs to rely upon the scratches he had drawn on the tree-barks while his way in.

Out 'thar in the desolate sun-baked scrub of Kermit, Texas, I reckon there's all kinds of things can get all shriveled up, like tolerance: [^]. Story also covered by NY Daily News: [^], and Gawker.com: [^].
"His father, Jason Steward, said the family had been to see "The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies" last weekend. His son brought a ring to his class at Kermit Elementary School and told another boy his magic ring could make the boy disappear." This is the third suspension for young Aiden since the six months he has joined the school:
"Aiden was suspended once for referring to another student as black and another time for bringing The Big Book of Knowledge, a children's encyclopedia to school, which his teacher discovered contained an illustration of a pregnant woman." I think there's more to this story than meets the eye: and, I wonder if Aiden's parents have been somehow identified as deviants for some reason like maybe they don't have any automatic weapons, use charcoal-briquets rather than a gas-fired bbq-grill, or don't have a teevee larger than 32 inches.
If you ask me, it's just real sick to take out this on the kid when it's the parents should be getting driven out of town, pronto, before they twist the minds of all the other children.
