Monogatari series novels and perhaps the anime as well. It really drove home the point that: You (I) am also human so what i observe, excuse, despise in others I will necessarily also contain. And i can chose to seek help, ask for forgiveness, deal with it, heal, forgive and so on not just for other people but importantly also for myself.

Not that I really gained much competence in this matter from this but the thought continues to stick, and it’s demonstrably a good thought.

It was at one point the phone company arm of deutsche post (the German post office) of which both Telekom and DHL were spun out to be privatised. Both kind of natural monoplies turned private companies which were able to fund large expansions into foreign markets essentially on the backs of German taxpayers and later users of their respective services in their home market.

Holy am I glad that I live in a place where there is a non Telekom ISP well established. Telekom in Germany is a service and troubleshooting hell like you wouldn’t belive if you haven’t had the pleasure of dealing with them.

But if you fully compost ( with temperature monitoring and like good com.post management) then composting will sterilize the soil.

This month it’s probably temcandoanything - teto’s territory

Ahh yeah I have mine separated into machine and other screws. At least mostly separated.

Context:

In cologne Germany there is a huge carnival culture, historically carnival is sorta anti establishment, but for a variety of reasons in post ww2 cologne carnival is the establishment. So the Karnevalsvereine have shows/plena called Karnevals_Sitzung. Because these events had lost their anti establishment air, at some point a reaction formed called the Stunk_Sitzung (roughly grievance session as opposed to carnival sessions) which re focused on anti establishment satire, both satirizing main stream carnival and broad local to global politics. This event then became the de facto cultural institution in terms of carnival satirical stage show running several shows weekly throughout the entire season (Nov-Feb/March).

Story:

Getting tickets for this show for a weekend close to the end of the carnival season (the season ends with the main parades and festivities)requires ordering tickets in person on the day the tickets go on sale, with the ticket offices opening 9am lining up at 10pm isn’t uncommon, and I have been part of such a line. Although it is also common for the spot in line to be transferable, so I did a shift roughly midnight to 5am at which point I went home to bed and someone else did the last 4h shift and bought tickets.

For the screws apparently what happens if you do it long enough is that you aquire a sifting pan for well sifting through your screws.

The ‘Screamer’ remake of this year definitely has story and progression. I haven’t played it myself but I’ve watched quite a bit of playthrough and for racing games the narrative was downright impressive.

The driving is apparently some kind of twin stick drift thing which seems interesting but yeah I can’t say much about that.

Presentation is very modern gatcha-esque, so some impressive cg plus 2d animation, and a lot of character sprite plus textbox vn style dialogue, fully voiced but with subtitles as default as the characters are voiced in their in universe language. So unless you are a real polyglot you’ll be reading.

There is main and side story’s, several teams with 3 characters each, seemingly real world building, writing that is especially for racing games quite bold and competent, lots of narrative conflicts, with characters having interna. Depending on how you feel it might be a tad edgy or anime for you, but from what I’ve seen it’s not particularly egregious, no high school stuff, only somewhat exaggerated characters, no edge without some story basis…

So it’s definitely big budget, but it seems to not have really gathered that much attention.

Unsorted screws half broken bike parts and wooden boards of various sizes.

It’s not your or any others singular car forcing anyone to drive. It’s the expectation that an adult person can drive and needs to use a car that forces or at least pushes everything towards driving.

If the design and soundscape of almost any space weren’t impacted negatively by cars I wouldn’t think they’d be forcing anything onto me. But that is reality even in nominally not car dependent inner city Germany. So that’s why I hate cars.

Rolled down 80km of Italian alps today on the Alpe-Adria cycling route. Probably the nicest part of the route. Between Villach and Carnia including some 50+ km of the most beautiful rail to trail I’ve been on. With good weather as well. Honestly amazing day.

Riding road bikes in a group at a faster than I’d move alone speed. It’s a ton of fun even if my entire body is sore the next day.

Only like 3 long weekend rides in the last month and my body already feels significantly stronger than at the start of the season. Specifically I got dropped on the hills 3 weeks ago, now I can mostly keep up.

Slay the Spire without doubt 2.5k on steam plus some switch and mobile.

If you group the Trackmania games those do come close, and maybe Minecraft but I have barely touched that game in the last decade and no way to check hours from back then.

The problem is it’d all work better, be cheaper, more livable … if more of that infrastructure we pay for would not be car infrastructure but almost anything else.

Or coming at it from the other side, just because a lot of the transportation upstream from my consumption is car infrastructure does not make it resonable to allocate the lions share of infrastructure spending on it, especially because everywhere any alternative exists to road infrastructure it’ll be more physically efficient by default.

Arguing for car use for transportation much like continuing to argue for oil gas and coal electricity generation is shortsighted and ignores the problems with car infrastructure, and the viability of alternatives, just because car infrastructure is how transportation currently is conceived of in much of the world.

They do this for festivals and construction sites and such in conjunction with the typically fossils generators nowadays. Not everywhere but it definitely exists. Exactly like described: Shipping container, batteries and inverter inside, 4 legs, and 2 Shipping container long solar arrays mounted to a frame. Set the container down anchor the legs put the panel frames up connect some wires and your ready to go.

I’m pretty sure you could just buy that too if you wanted a head start on your off grid cabin.

Not in the spirit of the question answer: Land Base impulses on an Easter weekend: sweet dill mustard gravlachs and bread Real answer: Bicycles as many different ones as possible

I think Anna’s archive actually has a bounty on that or at least a very related task.

So if you’ve found a way to economically scrape the street view 360° pictures definitely let them know. As far as I understand if you can prove you have a working method for scraping they will do what they can in terms of infrastructure and such to get it done.

The gitlab on which this is explained is down for me atm.

Why should my half hour be worth less than your minute or 2 until you can safely overtake.

Not to mention that if their bike commute allows them to take a car of the road, you might be faster on average you just think that the bike makes you slower. Plus the 1000s of dollars in just waste if they would need to own a car instead and so on …

You know what’s super convenient for you(r group) but super inconvenient for everyone else, car centric infrastructure development.

There’s a big difference in that type of cyclist and someone that’s riding a bike in street clothes for a commute. And it doesn’t make sense to act like they’re the same.

No there isn’t at least not a large one, cycling costume or not has almost no bearing on whether the ride is for recreation/fitness or for getting from a to b, often both are combined. If you had a 30km commute on a bike you’d also try to wear clothes that make it easier to get there quickly and you would use the most direct route and this is what most cyclists are doing when people get annoyed by them.

Plenty of people are doing their commute as their training ride because it makes sense to do so, why should they have to drive their car half an hour and do an hour of cardio instead of their hour cycle commute, just so you can arrive a minute early come on.
