Don't knock woodwork and electronics though. It can be loads of fun. For example I've just finished building this to keep me entertained during lock-down and it was loads of fun to put together. Jr. agrees also. Edited May 30, 2020 by Dazey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think merkel is a farcical figure. she's the typical leftist politician that gets her real motivations circumvented by having a tough look in her eyes. People elect her, assuming she's a no nonsense hardliner, but she's just a pussy like all those other character-less politicians. Theresa may was another one of those figures, sporting a tough look in her eyes, but being a clownesque figure in the end with no backbone whatsoever. Her demise was painfull to watch. The common strategy of those people, who lack the intelligence needed for the job (or any intelligence period), is to "look" smart. In the way of, "I don't know the hell what I'm doing, but I'm going to look like I have everything under control". Sometimes I think all these leftist parties hold some sort of auditions, and they pick easily manipulatable candidates with the intelligence of an eggshell, but who have a tough look in their eyes. That's what people vote for. People don't listen to what you say, they only care about how you look. To look like a tough one, generates trust. And people fall for it, time and time again.

On one hand we have this armchair analysis from "action" at mygrnforum and on the other hand we have numerous descriptions by politicians, bureaucrats and diplomats who have met with worked with Merkel describing her as extremely intelligent.
