It depends. Names for people and locations get reused all the time, both in real life and in fiction and of course it's fine to do so. At this point, it's probably impossible to be 100% original all the time with the amount of books, games etc that are out there. However there are some names that are so iconic that people will immediately connect them with a certain work. For example I wouldn't write a fantasy novel and name a city "Minas Tirith", as everyone will just think of LOTR. But calling a city, say, "Dragonstone" is just fine IMO, even though it's a place in ASOIAF (and probably more than a few older fantasy books).

This might vary between markets but at least here in Germany, their pricing is very competitive. You can currently get a base ID3 for 29,760€. There are very few if any similar sized EVs for that price. Software is okay, not the sleekest you can get for sure, but it does its job. They're the second most successful EV brand after Tesla here. I assume if you've never thought of them as something you'd want to buy, you've also never driven one?
What makes you say that? I've driven (but not owned) an ID3 for the last 3 years and it's pretty great. Only major criticism I have is that the controls are too heavily touch-based with a lack of physical buttons. But the actual driving is wonderful.
Die Bahn hat ja mehr als genug Probleme, aber die Bahnhöfe sind wie ich finde vollkommen in Ordnung. Ähnlich sauber bis sauberer als in anderen europäischen Ländern und besonders unsicher habe ich mich auch nie gefühlt. Die Zugangskontrollen die es in manchen anderen Ländern gibt habe ich als eher nervig empfunden. Vor allem wenn es dann so läuft wie z.b. in Großbritannien, wo man als Interrail-Nutzer nicht einfach sein Ticket scannen kann sondern es immer einem Mitarbeiter zeigen muss um durchgelassen zu werden. Das jetzt wieder bei uns einzuführen wäre meiner Meinung nach absolut rausgeschmissenes Geld das die Bahn an anderen Stellen bitter nötig hat.
No music, no images... two things that have defined Human culture for millennia. The Taliban must really love leading a miserable existence.
I have a perfectly capable gaming PC but more often than not, I choose to play on the Steam Deck instead. I already sit at my desk for work most of the day, so it's nice having a dedicated gaming device that I can take with me and sit in the garden or on my sofa. And of course I can take it with me when travelling.
I mean that there were no longer scheduled train services to and from the station. Just the occassional promotional ones for the bazar.
I think it's exactly those stories that give people a false impression when they come here. It's not that they are false, most of the time you'll certainly find people who can speak decent English. A tourist probably won't need any German, but when it comes to living here long-term, dealing with bureaucracy, finding a job or making friends, knowing German is pretty essential.
So is Irish, but the point was that English is an official and widely spoken language in both countries.
Time to learn a new language, unless you're moving to Ireland or Malta I guess. Tons of people come to Germany and are shocked when not everyone speaks English.
Anyway, I think you'll get better answers if you specify a country. The EU is quite diverse, so I don't think there's a ton of advice that'll be true everywhere in the EU.
Trump dictatorship sure is a change in the status quo, but how exactly will it help marginalized groups?
The little Polish (formerly German) village my grandma grew up in. She never got to see it again after the war, so I want to make the pilgrimage there in remembrance of her.
The family treasure is also supposedly still buried there, but I don't think the locals would appreciate a random German digging holes in their village so I'll refrain from searching for it...
