I probably didn't express myself well. What I meant to say is that with an area so spread-out, any placement of the bus stop would make it extremely unreachable from some other adjacent destination.

This kind of makes me feel that the problem starts one layer before: this are is so spread out. It really doesn't look like there's any visible reason for buildings to be so far apart.

There's so few buildings that yeah, I think one bus stop is enough to serve them as far as amount of users is concerned. But the green could have been around the built up area, not between the buildings. Parking could also be compacted, maybe multi-floor or underground to reduce the surface area.

And while I apparently should read up in the Cyprus problem, I cannot know about every territorial dispute everywhere

Precisely: you do not need to have an opinion on every territorial dispute everywhere. In this case, if your goal is to mount a (well-warranted) criticism of Erdogan's rule in Turkey, you can focus on those aspects of Erdogan's rule in Turkey that you are actually familiar with, and leave Cyprus out of it.

If you are going to have an opinion on Cyprus though, yes, indeed, you should inform yourself about the historical background as a prerequisite for construction your opinion. Our history, politics, and war legacy deserve to be taken more seriously than just be used as rhetorical crutches for an argument that isn't about us.

There's 75 years of history in that conflict. Very few Cypriots nowadays deny that it is more complicated than that, and this does not have to excuse the invader.

There's no reason to lose all nuance over the Cyprus problem, it's doing no-one in Cyprus a favour - and if someone wants to use the Cyprus Problem entirely as a rhetorical tool to fight a different conflict, then that's in extremely bad taste.

All that being said, the unilateral declaration of independence was the biggest mistake of the Turkish Cypriot political class, since it doomed any efforts to collaborate across the green line due to the fear of "accidental recognition" - and at the same time any recognition of that declaration is not forthcoming because of how profoundly and transparently illegal it was.

Outside of literal war-time periods, a protest in Cyprus has never gotten this violent. Was quite shocking to hear after not living there for quite some time.

Could you provide some German examples?

Mir ist kalt. Sie ist mir bekannt. Mir ist dieser Preis viel zu teuer.

Looking again, it seems like more packages are available for the Tumbleweed stream, compared to Leap. I was testing Leap.

Kommt auf die Strecke an.

Kurze Strecke laufe ich gerne. Fรผr etwas lรคngere Strecken ist das Fahrrad praktischer, doch in Berlin nervt es. AuรŸerdem ist die S-Bahn besser als StraรŸenbahn und Bus.

Fernreise, natรผrlich mit dem Zug, wenn die Reise nicht lรคnger als 8 Stunden dauert.

Primarily I am looking for small class size, in person interactions between undergrad and professors.

This is something that the western European model of having no upper yearly intake limit makes really hard. Even at a masters level it's quite hard to get a decent degree of interaction between students and professors.

Die besten 10 Euro, die ich bezahlen habe, ist mein Stadtbibliothek-Jahresabo. Teil des Angebots is Zugriff auf Overdrive/Libby.

Und manchmal kommt auch die gute alte Library Genesis zu Hilfe.

Das ist sinnvoll. Hoffentlich kommt bald eine griechische Instanz online.
