I prefer black. Remember that the saying goes: “White begins, black wins.” (I have no idea if this saying also exists in English but it does rime just as well as in German („Weiß beginnt, Schwarz gewinnt.”))
What’s water fasting? Not drinking enough water for multiple days?
c6, Qc3
1.) xb5, Nc7+ and get their rook (unless they decide to take their queen for your knight)
2.) xd4, get their queen (so yeah 1. will happen)
If they to for Nc6 you also can respond with Qc3 and win the knight (or the queen), unless they do Bb7, then you don’t win anything but are in a very good position (very aggressive and they can’t move anything away without losing material)
Gehen wir einmal davon aus, dass du Recht hast:
Die USA ist wenigstens eine Demokratie, mit ähnlichen Werten wie wir. Ich bin zwar kein Freund der USA aber würde tausendmal lieber in den USA als in China leben.
I have no idea about the damage and expected costs so I can only judge from a psychological site:
A wise woman (my psychology teacher when I was in school) once told me that when you think about if you should spend money on something that brings you happy memories, you should just do it because those happy memories are what makes you feel happy at the end of your life (and helps you when you are going through a rough time).
So while it likely is the better financial decision to get a new bike, you’ll always remember fixing your bike and keeping it going. It’s something you achieve. It makes your bike special, it’ll make the memories you make with your repaired bike special. You’re of course spending money on repairing and maintaining your bike, but at the same time that money goes into good memories.
*assuming you fix it yourself. If you just let someone else repair it that special effect won’t be there
The Nazis did that, breeding blonde-haired blue-eyed people (mostly combining German men with I think Swedish women). Most of them were murdered after the war ended (despite only being innocent children), because people thought that 1. Nazis have to be mentally different and 2. same for women who “agree” to participate in this program, so they thought that of course the offsprings would “also” be mentally different/disabled.
