I guess it shows how out of touch (old) I am that it’s completely bewildering to me that there could be people who do not understand folders … on a computer. Phones, tablets, yeah, I get that, those actively make it harder and harder to access the folder structure. But computers?
Vgl. Landwirte. 25% Lohnsteigerung ist selbst für die IGM ein feuchter Traum, aber unser Bauer im die Ecke ist sich immer noch nicht zu doof dafür, mit einem “Agrardiesel muss bleiben” Aufkleber auf seinem Q7 rumzufahren.
I got to learn to love those bidet toilets through my frequent (extended) work travels to Japan. Got one for myself at home when the bathroom was up for renovation. Now I am dreading any work trip to not-Japan because I’ll have to shit like a barbarian for that time.
Oh, I have a similar story from my (unfortunately late) void:
Had a big chunk of pork, which I trimmed for the BBQ. All the cuttings (mostly fat) I put in a pad to render (?) the delicious lard. Somehow I forgot to put a lid on the pan while it cooled down, and the whole thing got forgotten in the mess the kitchen was after a nice Barbie and beers with friends. Next morning I woke up, thought “oh crap, the lard”. Went downstairs, first susicious thing: cat nowhere to be seen. Pan on the stove was completely clean. As in straight from the dishwasher clean. The I saw the cat lolling around on the sofa, barely awake, and almost unresponsive. Even shaking his morning treats did not prompt him to come into the kitchen (which usually was the ritual). And then it dawned on me: the little rascal slurped about a whole pound of pork lard during the night from the pan. Did not eat for two days straight, but seemed happy as a clam.
Wherever he is now, I hope he gets all the lard he wants.
Der Optimist in mir sagt, “Na endlich fangen die an, sich selbst zu zerlegen”. Der Pessimist kontert: "Jede rechtsstaatliche Aufarbeitung wird von denen als Hexenjagd instrumentalisiert werden, und es wird funktionieren.’
Wait. The OPA from expanse? There is some resemblance, but I’d say it more looks like a gamepad/emoji hybrid.
You’re probably thinking of Tenet?
That’s not how thermodynamics work. It’s either transferring heat more efficiently, or not. But always the same, in both directions.

Ja, die Bahn ist echt der letzte Ort, wo man das D-Ticket kaufen sollte. Ein bisschen beschleicht mich das Gefühl, dass das aber Methode ist, weil die Bahn eigentlich mit Nahverkehr nix am Hut haben will.
Ich hab’s einmal da gemacht, als ich an einem 15. eines Monats absehen konnte, dass sich das gegenüber Einzeltickets lohnen wird. Doof nur dass das Abo am 10. des Vormonats gekündigt werden muss, ich in der Konstellation dann also zwei Monate bezahlen musste. Mir kann einfach niemand erzählen, dass es irgendeinen technischen oder administrativen Grund dafür gibt, dass man zwanzig Tage Vorlauf für die Kündigung braucht. Bei 30(31) Tagen Laufzeit. Da wirken die sechs Wochen Kündigungsfrist der Bahncard noch geradezu plausibel. Bei jedem anderen Anbieter würde man das als Anfälle bezeichnen.
Ich war ja sehr lange ein grosser Fan von ihr, für mich hat sie aber mit ihrer Maithink X show (alleine der Name ist ja schon affig) ganz schön an Glaubwürdigkeit verloren. Muss denn selbst in den ÖR Sendern Wissenschaft in einer Blödelshow auf Karl Dall Niveau verwurstet werden, damit man auch ja das gesamte werberelevante Publikum mitnimmt?
Vielleicht ist da der Schritt in die Politik nur der nächste logische, und auch wenn ich sehr begrüsse dass Menschen, die noch evidenzbasiert denken und kommunizieren können auch Einzug in die Politik nehmen, scheint mit da die Gefahr des Personenkults doch ein bisschen hoch.
Because if I spend 50k on an ICE car, I get a really manly truck which makes me feel important and not like a wimp driving a car that makes me look poor!
I am so surprised that this stone age reasoning still works so well with cars.
“But I need the space! … once every two years…”
Same with fuel efficiency: “My big ass penis enlargement SUV gets the same mileage like my tiny sedan did 30 years ago, so it’s not worse for the environment!” - “But a car the size of your tiny sedan 30 years ago would now be twice as efficient?” - “Does not matter, I will use up the transportatin CO2 footprint that has been allotted to me, why should I give something up for the benefit of everyone , especially something important like a antiquated status symbol?”
Wahrscheinlich Sahne in der Carbonara
Because WFH has shown that large parts of middle management are useless, and those MM people are pushing upper management for RTO before it becomes evident. It’s what MM has always done, suck up to UM and kick down on the workers, without real benefit to the company.
I think it’s “Tiny civilization”, which is really cute indeed. Got it on sale for less then 2 bucks, well worth it!
Edit: nah, probably not, but tiny civilization is a nice little game anyway :)
It’s completely wild to me that the default for buying a car comes up to a monthly payment, why not pay cash? Save those 800 for three months, buy a beater for 2400. While driving this into the ground, continue saving the 800, even if that beater craps out after six months, you can upgrade to a 4800 not-so-crappy beater, rinse and repeat, and at some point you saved up the 48000 to get that new car. Financing something that depreciates in value quickly and exponentially at anything above the inflation rate is, financially speaking, complete and utter nonsense to me.
I picked it up on sale after watching Fury Road, which in turn I put off watching for years because I really like the first trilogy and did not want to have that memory tainted by some cash grab Hollywood sequel. Boy was I wrong about the film, and I was equally blown away by the game, to a point I felt really guilty getting it for 10 bucks or so. I really, really wish there was a multiplayer, though.
Unser Bäcker um die Ecke hat auch Brote, die 24h gereift sind. Die gehen für 6 EUR für einen 500g Laib weg wie warme Semmeln (hihihi).
Steht aber halt auch nicht Sylt drauf.
Yeah, it seems at a certain breaking point in the difficulty curve it becomes “catch up with the AI boni”, which made it a completely different game for me. And as you said, usually by renaissance you know if this is going to be a landslide victory (which at that point becomes a chore), or if you’re screwed.
