| 2024-04-30 23:37:06 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | as in, I would have no clue what Dutch word to use if not "neon lighting" |

| 2024-04-30 23:36:25 +0200 | <int-e> | (I /guess/ some new neon signs are still made and some more being maintained, but most of the signs seem to be LED based these days) |
| 2024-04-30 23:36:09 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | still called "neon lighting" today (when translated literally) in Dutch |
| 2024-04-30 23:36:06 +0200 | <mauke> | also, hairdressers |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:39 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | ah right :p |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:30 +0200 | int-e | tunes out again |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:28 +0200 | <int-e> | dminuoso: fair enough, I just enjoyed the anachronism |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:16 +0200 | <dminuoso> | (And yeah, we do have an officially recognized and guild protected job as a "sign and illuminated sign manufacturer") |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:10 +0200 | <mauke> | leuchtschild? |
| 2024-04-30 23:35:06 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | oh is that not a thing in English? |
| 2024-04-30 23:34:52 +0200 | <dminuoso> | int-e: Oh I just liberally translated it. Illuminated signs is the literal translation. |
| 2024-04-30 23:34:31 +0200 | <dminuoso> | But of course lots of traditional jobs like brick layers, bakers, electricials, barbers, carpenters, mechatronics engineers are similarly dealt. |
| 2024-04-30 23:34:19 +0200 | <int-e> | what is a neon sign? :P |
| 2024-04-30 23:33:51 +0200 | <dminuoso> | Here's a list of exotic jobs that have that Meister requirement (and are very regulated by their guils): glass refiner, organ and harmonium retrofitter, sign and neon sign manufacturer, pavement layer |
| 2024-04-30 23:32:33 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | I know guild systems from fantasy novels :p |
| 2024-04-30 23:29:50 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | cool, TIL |
| 2024-04-30 23:29:47 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | (Quereinsteiger is a word we also have in Dutch, if you suitably substitute for synonyms) |
| 2024-04-30 23:29:44 +0200 | <dminuoso> | tomsmeding: but yeah, the guild system is very very much alive here. |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:46 +0200 | <mauke> | apprentice -> journeyman -> master |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:28 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | oh not even |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:23 +0200 | <dminuoso> | its government sanctioned monopolistic unions. |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:20 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | the federal state, excuse me |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:15 +0200 | <tomsmeding> | :D |
| 2024-04-30 23:28:12 +0200 | <dminuoso> | Who dares. |
