So it has been a long time since I watched in wonder at all of you and your skillful builds. Also I'm old, so I forgot how to give Karma to worthy souls

Thanks Joe. I hope to give out the karma so many deserve, instead of only a thumbs up.

When I'm on the phone Karma doesn't show, so probably that's the reason.

I just thought I would give you something more to laugh about. Did you know that the German word for mobile phone is "Handy"? But it isn't a German word at all, it's derived from English "handy".
Also, when we talk about a LCD projector, we say "Beamer" instead. Probably from light-beam, I dunno, but Germans are again world leader when it comes to totally obscure and wrong usage of English terms, because ad writers think they sound better...
And we have a name for that kind of stupid language, too. We say "Denglisch" (a combination of deutsch-englisch).
But my favorite comes from an American journalist, commenting on this in a German daily. He once went to the Hofbräuhaus in Munich and there he saw a sign on a table, saying "reservated". So he asked a waitress what that would be about? For a moment she seemed confused, then she told him stoney-faced it means "reserviert" in English. He replied to her drily: "No, that would be reserved." Boom!
Now have a great day folks. 😉

Now have a great day folks. 😉 And yet there are so many words in American English comes from the German Angst, Delicatessen, Doppelganger, Eiderdown, Ersatz, Hamster, Kindergarten, Knapsack, Poltergeist, Spritz, Wanderlust, Waltz. “ your, beemer” in the U.S. is our BMW (as some of us think = Bavarian Motor Works) “your, handy” is our, cell phone (from the original name cellular phone) And the beat goes on

Ok, now yall got me confused. So, is this karma thing like a like on Spacebook, or was that before Spacebook? I rarely ever use the like buttons on most of the model websites, if they have em, and once in a while I'll notice the karma button here, but I recon I can claim "Space Cadet", even though I'm not a Spacebooker.
I hope I didn't confuse myself. And Stevo, we're good, Buddy, I've got a flip phone, HA!

It's pretty much just letting people know that a person has a good character and / or a good contributor/ helpful Steve.

Another legend goes, that when a Swabian first discovered this new type of phone, he asked: "Hän' di koi Kabel?" Which is dialect and does translate into: "do these have no cable?"
