When non-violent protest - non-violent protest to save the world, no less - is criminalized, the world should worry.
"Five members of Letzte Generation, Germany’s equivalent to Just Stop Oil, have been charged with “forming a criminal organisation”, a move civil rights campaigners say could in effect criminalise future support for the climate campaign."
"It is believed to be the first time the law has been applied to a non-violent protest group."
@FantasticalEconomics most of the fuss is about not following a detail of the German demonstration last and not registering their demonstrations because some idiot said so.
Germans: Register your demonstration. Don't listen to advise on the internet that tell you to not do it, especially if they advise Congress from Anglo-saxonian lawyers.
In general: don't listen at all to Anglo-saxonian lawyers when it comes to Continental European Law questions ever. Their legal system works very different, their advise is useless on the European continent.
Also take British and American news over Continental European legal questions with a grain of salt or two.
@FantasticalEconomics the legal systems in the Anglo-saxonian sphere - common law - is in principal rather different from the Continental European codified law.
In this article some very important legal details are not even touched but it goes in length over stuff that is just irrelevant on the continent.

Das gleiche gilt für alle größeren niederländischen Städte.
After about 6 months, I finished up a guitar I built for my 16yr old kid. We used maple (which is heavy, but sturdy). It's a Telecaster body style, and he picked out the electronics. We're both pretty happy with how it turned out!
@GossiTheDog I still have a Twitter account but I enjoy Mastodon a lot more.
Everytime I log into Twitter it does not take longer than 2 mins to go "WTF is wrong with people?"
When the door is done and this room is a bit more break-in-proof i will focus on building a workbench.
The current workbench is nice but ahem has come to the end of its life.
Its basically a very long English Jointers Workbench also often called a Nicholson after the person writing a description over it. The current length is 3,60m.
The workbench is indirectly mounted to the bench via the tray that's put on top of that.
I will be building a replacement for it. A wand mounted English Jointer's workbench but with integrated tool tray and a bit less wide.
That's the plan so far. I have not started building that yet.
I still discuss with myself over the wood for the workbench.
I was thinking that first too but if you start to look in detail not really.
I have 2 options:
a) Build a new one and put this one in the shed for historical reasons.
b) Spend a lot of money to fix this bench which has some constructional shortcomings.
And i want an alike bench, not the same.
So: higher, different depth, 2-3 wood vises, Dog holes. Drawers etc etc. The steel vises removable and the tool tray integrated and actually lower than the workspace so i can have a 3x80cm usable workspace.
The agreement that i have is "same style, same general measures, same rough appearance."
I can change the wood and details of the construction.
I added 2 further pics to the workbench-toot with detail views.

Its also not even close to be flat. The tool tray is higher instead of lower than the workspace meaning its again not flat.
The thickness is not very big and i want around 5cm to be able to use holddowns.
There's not really good possibilities to attach somewhat nice vises.
With the tool tray in the rear its at the same time a bit too deep to reach for tools potentially to be stored above and the usable width is too small.
I think the height and usable area of the workspace are rather improtant.
