Wieder ein interessantes Video von zum Markt und den Margen bei den ach so hohen Preisen. Finde es ja krass, dass Benny da so offen über die Preise und vorallem Kosten seitens und spricht.

Just like humans, giants can suffer from the frailties of old age.

Perhaps they even suffer more than most.

Though the Norse term "Jotun" often gets translated as "giant," the Jotnar could be many different sizes, and many of them (Loki, Skadi, etc.) were no taller than the Aesir. They often seemed less like giants and more like simply a competing faction of gods.

Olentzero is the Christmas gift giver in the Basque regions of France and Spain. The earliest stories about him say that he was the last of the jentilak, a race of giants said to have built the region’s megalithic monuments.

: Near Duderstadt there is a circular hill known as the "braune Bühel" - the "brown bag".

According to legend, this hill was formed when Heaven opened a hole at the bottom - and dumped its waste through this hole.

Once, giants lived where the city of Heidelberg now stands.

They may be gone, but they still left their mark.

According to medieval Welsh folklore, originally Britain was called "Albion" and inhabited only by giants. Brutus the Trojan, descendant of Aeneas, conquered the giants. The island was renamed "Britain" in his honor; his people were the ancestors of the British Celts.

Hi. Can I have a word?

When you use a could you capitalise each word please? That way, people using screen readers will hear each individual word, which means they'll get more useful context as a result.

When you don't capitalise hashtags the words string together and make no sense.

For example would read as "This Is How" while would sound something like "thissy show". A small change for you but a game changer for many people.

Be nice; get good karma. Thanks.
