Additional to that, people who attempt to photograph or film fireworks tend to ruin the experience of just enjoying the fireworks for everyone else:

In my city there is an annual fair ground which has a firework show as feature. Just before the fireworks start, all caroussels and rides stop for the duration of the fireworks show and they switch off all the lights in order to get a good look of it. People who attempt to record the fireworks with their phone are blinding everyone else with their phone flashlights as they are looking for their peers in the crowd. Also, many photos of the event are taken with additional flash, because it is dark. Many of these photos will be deleted anyway, as they are out of focus or the picture has been shot right after the firework fades, because there is a delay in processing the picture. I involuntarily had to witness so many bad attempts of taking a photo, as I could see right into their phone displays.

Tthis setting is not intended to apply to websites. With this setting you can change whether the date is shown as absolute (dd.mm.yyyy) oder relative (today, yesterday,…) for your own files on your computer.

The option is called “relative date” (as opposed to absolute date). On macos you can switch it off:

• open Finder, go to list view
• select very first item in hierarchy
• click on the little triangle next to the (folder-)icon to expand but press the option key wihle doing so
• hit “cmd” + “J” - a settings panel will open
• there is a tick box that says “relative date” that needs to be disabled (unticked)
• if you want to apply this settings as the new default setting for all finder windows, press the “apply as standard”-button at the bottom. All dates will show now the actual date instead of “today”, “yesterday” and such.

I started learning the language in school (5th to 10th grade). I had a teacher who insisted very much on grammar which sucked while being a student, but in hindsight it turned out to be a good foundation.

With upcoming internet English became more and more a part of every day life, as there is more content in English availiabe than in my native language. In order to build up a proper vocabulary and to understand figures of speech and play on words I started to watch cartoons in English - first easy-to-understand-ones, like The Simpsons, because I knew the plot of the episodes already since they were aired dubbed on television. In the beginning I found South Park very hard to understand because they speak rather fast, but meanwhile I understand everything now.

Today I am able to speak fluenty.
