My all time favourite is Lord of war. Perfect song, nice way to show the bullet production and then in the end when it hits its target... Could not imagine a better opening to this movie. Especially once you get to know that it is based on some real russian arms dealer.

They're on the same ground actually, not a hill or anything. I just took the pic on the very top of the ride.

Thank you very much

Why does this post not show any picture? And why has it been upvoted?

 

From Wiki:

The Wiener Riesenrad (German: [ˈviːnɐ ˈʁiːzn̩ˌʁaːd]; 'Vienna Giant [Ferris] Wheel'), or simply Riesenrad, is a 64.75-metre (212 ft) tall Ferris wheel at the entrance of the Prater amusement park in Leopoldstadt, the 2nd district of Austria's capital Vienna. It is one of Vienna's most popular tourist attractions, and symbolises the district as well as the city for many people. Constructed in 1897, it was the world's tallest extant Ferris wheel from 1920 until 1985.

My cat doesn't like the sound either but isn't afraid at all while my sister's cats Timmy (left) and Lucy (right) are very much so.

Staubsaugen ist angesagt - meine Katze Miez gegenüber den Katzen meiner Schwester. Meine Katze mag zwar die Lautstärke auch nicht, hat aber keine Angst. Die Katzen Timmy (links) und Lucy (rechts) hingegen haben sehrwohl Angst.

August is cat sitting time due to various vacations. My parents are currently sittng the brother and sister pair Timmy...

Im August ist urlaubsbedingt Katzen hüten angesagt. Meine Eltern passen gerade auf das Bruder-Schwester-Paar meiner Schwester Timmy...

...and Lucy. Since my sister isn't great at training cats, so they are allowed on the kitchen counter which mine isn't. My parents aren't happy about this but gave in.

...und Lucy auf. Da meine Schwester nicht gut im Katzen erziehen ist, dürfen ihre auch auf die Küchenablage während meine dies nicht darf. Meine Eltern sind darüber nicht glücklich aber was willste machen... Was Hänschen nicht lernt lernt Hans nimmer mehr.

My mom's tripawd Franka is perfectly comfortable in tight spaces only, so she doesn't mind having only one room to herself. Franka gets along with Miez but not the others.

Die dreibeininge Katze meiner Eltern fühlt sich in engen Höhlen am wohlsten also macht es ihr auch nichts aus nur einen Raum zur Verfügung zu haben. Franka kommt mit Miez gut aus aber nicht mit den anderen.

My cat Miez is ususally free to roam the house, but Lucy attacks her, so right now she has a room to herself if nobody is there to watch them. Timmy is totally chill towards all and everything, maybe over time this could work out like it now does with Miez and Franka (it took them a few years and visits).

Meine Katze Miez darf im Normalfall durchs ganze Haus stöbern aber da Lucy sie attackiert geht dies nun nur unter Aufsicht. Timmy ist ganz gelassen allen gegenüber, also würden mit mehr Zeit vermutlich auch alle miteinander auskommen wie Miez und Franka nun (nach einigen Jahren und Besuchen).

Miez is staying at my parents as I'm currently sitting her brother Koda...

Miez muss gerade bei meinen Eltern bleiben da ich gerade ihren Bruder Koda...

...and his little companion Lilly. They are both my former cats as well but Koda and Miez didn't get along anymore while Lilly totally loves Koda so I had to give them away. Luckily I found them a new home with friends of mine so I can visit them from time to time.

...und seine kleine Kunpanin Lilly hüte. Sie waren beide Mal meine Katzen aber Koda und Miez haben sich nur noch gezofft also musste ich sie trennen. Lilly liebt Koda über alles und ich bin froh darüber dass Freunde von mir die beiden bei sich aufgenommen haben. Abseits vom Hüten kann ich sie so ab und an besuchen.

Edit: Bonus:

Since Miez is such a good girl that she doesn't stroll away even if she could, I let her into my parents garden. Lucy was not happy about Miez's privilege.

Da Miez so brav ist und nicht abhaut obwohl die könnte habe ich sie heute in den Garten meiner Eltern gelassen. Vor allem Lucy war von der Bevorteiligung nicht begeistert.

View from the Danube tower at about 150 meters of its total 252 meters height over Vienna in direction of the vinyards. Pic taken today.

Bonus: Pic from above the vinyards in the opposite direction (taken four days ago)

 

Mostly black and white picture of a Flak tower with green ivy next to the words never again. IMO it's kind of fitting that the words never again are a bit grown over when FPÖ and AFD are on the rise. Plus I've found this clear answer sprayed on a shopping parking lot next to the question "Nazis vote FPÖ, you as well?"

Well I wouldn't put it past him. He wasn't shot by the police though.

Oh yeah it's even her preference. When she lays besides me she lays down exactly the way that my hand is on her belly

 

English/German as always. Expand for embedded video. Sound on for her soft purring.

Does anybody know what the paw resting on my arm means? She usually doesn't do this.

ich bin gerade krank zu Hause. Meine Dame Miez passt gut auf mich auf. Ton an für ihr sanftes Schnurren.

Weiß jemand was ihre Pfote auf meinem Arm bedeutet? Sie macht das normalerweise nicht

That's a weird flex, but you made me laugh.

Thank you very much. I actually took two really beautiful pics that morning. Hope you enjoy a swan spreading its wings in the morning mist:

Luckily my boss does encourage us to take care of our health including taking breaks from screen time (those 10 minutes every two hours as proposed by doctors), which are not added to our break time. He also knows I don't take such breaks often enough which actually causes my stress level to be too high. Smokers do have some advantages regarding this I guess.

I guess it's like a little soap opera haha. Reminds me of a reddit user that did continued stories on IIRC r/TalesFromTechSupport a few years back

I need to clear my head from time to time during work to be able to focus again. The cats are a welcomed and welcoming distraction :-)

Usually my mom's tripawed cat Franka keeps to herself and hides under the blanket on my mom's bed. When she wants some attention she switches to the couch.

Zwei Katzen und ein Platz an der Sonne Franka, die dreibeinige Katze meiner Mutter, lebt normalerweise sehr zurückgezogen indem sie sich unter der Bettdecke versteckt. Wenn sie Aufmerksamkeit braucht wechselt sie auf die Couch.

In the sun she even tolerates some vincity to my cat Miez.

In der Sonne lässt sie sogar zu dass Miez ihr etwas näher kommt.

However when Miez saw a butterfly (zoom in) and rushed to the terrace door right next to Franka that was a little too close for her comfort so she jumped up and hissed at Miez.

Als Miez jedoch einen Schmetterling (reinzoomen!) sah und an nahe Franka vorbei zur Terassentür rannte wurde es Franka zu eng. Sie sprang auf und fauchte Miez an.

Miez and the butterfly

Miez und der Schmetterling

Miez didn't care though and happily took advantage of the free space in the beam of sunlight.

Miez war das egal und erfreute sich an dem freien Sonnenplatz.

Franka hopped back to the couch.

Franka hoppelte zurück aufs Sofa.

I moved the rocking chair so that the both of them can enjoy the sunlight. However Franka did not return.

Ich hab' den Schaukelstuhl beiseite geschoben um beiden einen Sonnenplatz zu ermöglichen. Franka ging jedoch nicht zurück.

Even though I brush Miez regularly her thick fur gets warm really quick so she abandons the sun for her favourite box.

Obwohl ich Miez regelmäßig bürste wird ihr dickes Fell schnell zu warm und sie zieht sich aus der Sonne zurück in ihren Lieblingskarton.

Pic taken on top of the Frauenberg (hill of our dear lady, the chapel carries the same name) in Eichstätt, Bavaria, Germany. Hope you enjoy. AlexSlapnuts on imgur painted my pic in watercolor, which is very pretty, too:

I had the issue that when giving Miez her medication, it would not work properly as she was only breathing superficially. Didn't help either that she mostly starts purring once I pick her up, as according to the vet that is only superficially as well. She said we could give her a different medication first to expand her airways so that this medication can reach where it should. To avoid this, I had an idea: Get her worked up a little beforehand by throwing treats down the stairs.

Ich habe endlich rausgefunden wie ich Miez dazu bringe ihre Asthma-Medizin richtig zu nehmen. Ich hatte beim Verabreichen das Problem, dass es nicht richtig wirkte, da sie sie nur oberflächlich einatmete. Es war auch kontraproduktiv, dass sie meist anfängt zu schnurren, sobald ich sie hoch nehme. Die Tierärztin hat mir erklärt dass Schnurren nur sehr oberflächliches Atmen ist. Sie hat in Erwägung gezogen, eine Atemwegs-erweiternde Medizin zusätzlich vorab zu geben, damit das eigentliche Spray dort wirken kann, wo es soll. Um dies zu vermeiden kam mir eine Idee: Ich könnte Miez etwas sportlich beanspruchen, indem ich Leckerli die Treppe runter werfe.

Then I'll give her the spray as usual. Notice how she now breathes in with some effort? I can see through a little green flap that works as a valve that she now breathes in deeply, as I was aiming for.

Dann gebe ich ihr das Spray wie üblich. Bermerkt ihr wie sie nun mit etwas Anstrengung einatmet? Ich sehe über eine kleine grüne Klappe die als Ventil dient dass sie nun tief einarmet. Genau das wollte ich erreichen.

Afterwards she gets her other treat, a multi vitamin paste (currently with some digestion medicine mixed into it) as a thank you.

Danach bekommt sie als Dankeschön noch ihre Multivitamin-Paste (zur Zeit noch mit Verdauungs-Medizin vermischt) als Dankeschön.
