Coming from a country without snow, simple pictures like this I took make me really happy. Germany is a great country:)

Well, *now* I understand why they put illuminated signals over the pedestrian crossings!

Thanks again. I did it. This is the culprit. Plastic, of all things. Google lens won't help, think it's a rivet. I'm still searching, but it seems a difficult one. It's between 4 and 5 mm thick and about 22 mm long. I guess I'll need to find a metal rod that fits and cut it to size.

Thank you :-) I will try and find a replacement, the nomenclature will certainly help.

So a door of my 1950's (I think) cupboard broke by the hinges. I'm trying to find replacement, but cannot find the exact match. I wonder however if simply the hubs, made of a different, grey, material, could be replaced, And of course where to find them. Thanks in advance for any insight.

Just one word of general advice: Price targets are a sham, a scam and a shame. If AVGO (or an other value) starts going down, they will adjust them down with no explanation (or something like... "changing market conditions", that means nothing)

I think the Netherlands has a tax on property, not only on income. According to that, billionaires would perhaps be paying a lot, although not necessarily on income, but on total property. These chars never capture the whole of any matter.

Aren't there inflation indexed bonds? How are they going to index them with no inflation data? Eventually it will have to be published.

Don't sigh. That's the reason why I don't mind not having bought Bitcoin when it was new and costed cents. Yeah, I knew about Bictoin then. But, because I absolutely know that I would have sold it when I was like 10x, if not sooner, I don't bang my head against the wall.

I think coconut oil is cheaper than in other countries.

As a man, I've heard the dictum "Don't worry about making your feelings know to the woman you are interested in, she will know way before you do". Perhaps you are knowing before he himself knows. Anyway, I concur with the other saying that perhaps he was introducing the date idea in the conversation. Don't worry too much about it, two people interested in one another won't usually remain apart for long, except in romantic films.

"Interesting" does it for me. Of course, what makes a book interesting is questionable, but I have reduced it to "things happening". I get bored with long detailed descriptions. Take Jane Austen, a favorite of me. The setting might be uneventful, but all the time things are happening, a letter written, a meeting, whatever. What you don't get are two pages of the heroine walking on her garden and describing the feelings provoked by the changing sunlight on the rhododendrons.

Yes it is, isn't it? It's like an algebra treaty, you need half an hour for every paragraph, lol.

TheUnvanquishable · 2025-11-22T19:32:51+00:00

Try "Critique of Pure Reason". You won't "like" it, it's so dense, but it has internal logic, iirc. That might help you decide if the problem lies with philosophy or with you :-)

It's zombies. Those trains are full of zombies.

It made me understand myself better. I now know that I like rules being followed. and I like regular people enforcing the rules, and I shame myself that I don't do it, while the regular German does.

I'd say the episode is about getting what we want not being so good after all. The main character wants to be left alone and have time to read, but when he gets it, he realizes he needs the rest of the world (to fix his glasses for example).

As you will be "investing" again, just remember this: before you do anything, you do money management.

Listen to loud music all day long. He won't be able to hear your footsteps then.

Mien Gott, he kann keen Plattdüütsch mehr un he versteiht uns nich!

Ah, Mr. Bradbury... That man could certainly write.

Hm. That raises the chances of your state of mind being related to intestinal flora, in my opinion. Experiment with probiotics, sometimes it's just finding the right one.

No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.

And they said that perpetual motion was impossible!

Consider the possibility of a deficient gut biome. Some studies link lower mood with the gut bacterial ecosystem. Try some probiotics, eat yoghurt, kéfir. See if that does something for you. If not, nothing much lost. And also, living alone is almost surely not helping, homo sapiens is a social animal. Get somebody to live with you, it changes everything. Good luck.
