I did the „convert 3 years of prepaid Xbox Gold into Game Pass Ultimate“ trick. That way I paid 100€ (3x33€ for Gold+ 1€ to convert to GP) flat for three years of Game Pass, which is an incredible deal.

My take, as a German, without looking up the historic consensus: In Germany the oppression against Jews gradually increased from 1933 until WWII started in 1939. This gave many the opportunity to emigrate. In Eastern Europe, Germany quickly invaded („Blitzkrieg“) and immediately stated rallying the Jews into ghettos and started murdering them. There was no real chance to emigrate or flee.

Yeah, that song stood the test of time (at least the test of a decade).

The latest was „Call me maybe“. I’m not mad, that song slaps.

It just follows the general ‚suggestion‘ of gravity in Star Wars. It can be switched on or off as needed. Even the smallest vessels do vertical takeoff without any visible thrusters and in space your feet are safely attached to the floor.

After watching and reading The Expanse that has become very apparent.
