Oh man, from time to time I miss my W124. It was a 300CE coupe in that violet-ish color (Bornit), that people either love or hate.
It’s probably also a matter of perspective and where in the world you live.
I feel specifically the last 25 years have been specifically bad with the outbreak of quite a number of wars. Starting with two gulf wars, balkan war, several wars around the russian influence sphere, a lot going on in africa, wars nearly forgotten by the media like Yemen, and ultimately Israel/Gaza…
It 's a shit show, globally right now.
By the way, random selection is one of the few methods to guarantee a fair and representatative sample.
In case of a library I’d want at least part of the catalog represent media of the times is was created, because science also uses that.
One reason archaelogy in Pompei is valuable is that everyrhing - including pornograhic graffiti and slander was preserved, giving us a different perspective into those times than books by medieval historians.
Of course, I’d also want - in another part of the catalog - books/media by manually selected scientists, artists, historians.
I used expect a lifetime ago to reliably talk to a bunch of very strange ISDN modems.

I think something like expect also exists for more modern languages, but tcl is still easy enough to learn (just a little unusual, everything is a string)
As a guy one thing I notice - there’s a difference in how good I dry my parts after showering. Things feel cleaner during the day if I manage to get all the moisture away but before hiding my best parts in underwear shortly after showering.
I have wondered many times (and here is the place people can answer) - am I the only one who uses the hairdryer on his balls after drying his hair? (When I do, I always have this “thank god nobody sees this” feeling)
When I was a teenager my dad got a beautiful marble chess board. It was leaning on a wall, and when I picked it up it broke into two halves.
My dad was really sad and angry at me, that board meant quite a deal to him. He always thought I mishandled it, regardless how I said I was careful.
He died last November.
I got sent a few boxes with his belongings, and when I opened one of them I found that chessboard. It is glued with epoxy.
It sits in my apartment now, and I still don’t know if I want to keep it or get rid of it. One one hand it meant a lot to him, on the other hand it is one of the very rare things where I felt treated unfairly.
I live in Germany, was a teenager in the 80s. We would have been ground zero then, and would be ground zero now.
I’ve already spent all the fear of nuclear war in the 80s. I am just not able to fear nuclear war now, anymore. The fear just dulls after nearly half a century.
The choice is to let a madman bring war to one country after another or to stop it - with the cost that stopping has a miniscule chance of me getting vaporized.
But doing nothing will keep the risk of nuclear war for another 50 years. It has to be stopped now, appeasement never did anything good.
Plugs are for beginners. I once managd to step on a Motorola 68020 processor which embedded its pins intomy foot and drew blood.
And as every child here knows, you can just plug it into a pig nose for mobile power. No need for noisy generators, just bring your pig.
Not specifically for a rock, but that’s “roughly” how physical modeling synthesiers work for instruments.
Also there’s a youtube channel of a guy who builds an engine simulator to reproduce the sounds of 4-stroke and 2-stroke engines by applying fluid dynamic simulation of the gas flows in an engine.
It COULD conceivably be built for rock dropping as well, but I assume that’s not a thing people have yet put effort in.
Edit:
Regarding cooking I just bought my first decent knife (from Fein in Solingen, which is a traditional knife-making company)
Not the absolute high end, but just one step better as most of the normal industrial stuff - ai couldn’t be happier.
I know from own experience that a short tongue tie makes it harder to become a cunning linguist.
My tongue tie scrapes on the lower teeth when sticking my tongue out. (I think my situation is a lot better than yours) Still, it might be more comfortable to have a doctor make a small incision instead of scraping and tearing it when things get steamy.
I loved season 1, especially for the 80s look in Germany which I remember from my childhood (Gen X)
Dark lost me with season 2
I have a spray bottle with an isopropanol water mixture (around 10% isopropanol) and I just give my glasses a good spray and then wipe them with a clean microfiber kitchen cloth.
(I wash these cloths with just detergent powder, no softener or other additives, so they are grease-free out of the washer)
Mitefosin tablets I got for Leishmaniosis, two packages for a bit over 5000 Eur for both . Thank god for health insurance.
Cutaneous Leishmaniosis at two places, one being.my face over the upper lip. I was happy.I got treatment instead of bad scars.
Username checks out.
(spitz means - beyond other things - “horny” in German)
Ah ok - if the gas station doesn’t have such a machine that’s pretty useful. My next gas station has such a compressor, I enter the pressure and it does everything automatically once the hose is connected.
Anyways, keeping your tires at correct pressure probably pays for such a pump in a short time.
Had slightly poisonous mushrooms, vomited for three days.
Needed two years to be able to eat mushrooms, again.
The body remembers.
