People’s average age is about 44 in Italy, while a generation in the second half of the 20th century lasted about 29 years there.
So for two generations:
44+2*29=102
So the grandma of the average Italian would have been 17 years old in 1940 and thus was not born in 1918, but in 1923.
No “gugu gaga”, but still quite young.
On average.
Reminds me:
I have to rewatch Scrubs! :-)
described the $599 device (it also requires a subscription that starts at $7 per month) as a toilet bowl attachment that uses “optical sensors and validated machine-learning algorithms” to deliver “valuable insights into your health and wellness.”
Do they take their product ideas from the Onion?
This can’t be real, can it??
No, Heinrich Hoffmann, a German psychiatrist in the mid 19th century.
Loved the Struwelpeter as a child btw. :-)
Not this time, though.
Picture is out of the “Struwelpeter”, which is not part of Grimm’s collections.
so…you don’t bathe.
That is correct.
I shower.
No, but took me only 20s or so to walk to the bath and take one.
Also 30 additional steps and a reset of the get-up-counter on my fitness watch, so was a welcome reason to leave the couch ;-)
The one before was 5+ years old when its hose broke.
Did not look great but still ok in the end.
Might just be limescale?
I now had to check…
Shower head is appr. half a year old.
Gunk-free so far! :-)
Should they?
I would expect them to be somewhat self-cleaning when in regular use.
Also: Bonus point because Iiteral shower thought.
Let me also introduce you to the concept of tongue twisters.
Or, to come to the point:
“Lesser leather never weathered wetter weather better.”
Has quite probably the same root.
G-Wagon is short for “Geländewagen” which just means “offroad vehicle” in English.
That actually is very interesting!
I wonder if it is just a coincidence or if there is some kind of connection between the two…
l come from a farmers family in Germany.
I’ve known it from some equipment we used back in the 80’s or so :-)
Offroad?
(“Gelände” in German, so with a “G”)
It’s not true anymore, though.
Uunona has officially changed his name and also his papers have been updated by now.
His name is now just Adolf Uunona.

And compared to the 10 year old titles on sale that actually work well and look great on 5 year old mid-range HW…
No, definitely not.
But the fact that it existed not too long ago, succesfully prevented me from looking down on the fish tank with a feeling of cultural superiority.
And that is a good thing.
I was about to be outraged, but then remembered you could still win a living goose at St.-Martin’s-tombola during my early youth…
My grandmas were bom in 1914 and 1908.
So together with your value, 1923 sounds somewhat realistic.
I am not Italian, tlough. :-)
