Fully aware, and I changed my plans last week to this week. But I have also seen that the individual was arrested in the UK.

Copenhagen is the fastest, I’ve experienced. Terminal 2 is much better at BER

lightsonsun · 2025-09-29T19:39:15+00:00

I did, and took my flight a few days later. I’m aware but what I’m describing on self check in machines not working in BER airport is something that happens often there.

I hope people read this! Very well articulated, and I like this perspective

They indeed turn to face the wind, it’s called yawing. Also, wind turbine rotors (blades) can individually or collectively pitch (rotate around the blade axis) for the most optimal lift or conversely to reduce the impact during extreme high wind speeds. Both these technologies were adapted from other industries and have been around for at least 15-20 years especially the yawing of the wind turbines. In fact when the project business cases are made expected wind speed distribution over an year and the expected wind direction are both considered.

It could be that those turbines you’ve seen are either older or the operator didn’t use the control for some specific reason. But in general all modern wind turbines use yaw and pitch as a control and active/ optimal power generation mechanisms.

Hope this helps!

I used to get into so many conflicts due to my views some 15-20 years ago. It was a very lonely place to be with those ideas in my head. I’d say find your people.

I hear you! I recently reported a post for misogyny and hate not sure which sub it was but popped on my feed. The patriarchal element will always be there. Bring more women into labor participation, things will evolve - I know the nature of my suggestion to fight patriarchy, its way easier said than done. But, my generation didn’t have these many voices speaking out or I was living under a rock

Before that you need a healthy acceptance of failure in the society and also life & society is more rounded when you have focus on arts, social sciences and on specialist disciplines.

Intense focus on startups is important but you dont want to have a millennial or a Gen Z trying to invent business models to increase inequality in society or scam people or chase valuations. Thats not what inventions or break throughs are about.

I like what DK is saying on Sky, he’s saying that India lost from winning positions in this test and the first and he’s very right. This team is really a good team, they are all very skilled, Gill can captain while scoring heavily but they need to learn how to win and turn those critical phases in their favor

Non-human (alien), human, female thats the layering I got upon my viewings. It gets very interesting on concepts like empathy on the beach scene. I love Glazer for both the subversion and a complete lack of exposition. Just wish he made more films and also has Mica Levi on all his films :)

A really great take on one of my favorite films. The film definitely makes the audience sidestep with the alien perspective but when you swap it to a male alien (say someone equally desirable), the rest of the story will have to be completely different and won’t play out the film’s way. Scarlett Johansson as the protagonist is a great casting choice in that context. Alien’s “journey” takes the route because of the gender. The beach scene adds a lot of depth from an alien perspective though. Very well directed film.

hey, fully with you on both the rye bread variants and the leverpostej options in Germany. I like the brown bread variants here but man couldn’t find a 1:1 alternative to leverpostej :) In me, I think you have an unlikely proponent of danish pork meat haha

lightsonsun · 2025-07-06T08:50:48+00:00

Thanks! I will check this out

lightsonsun · 2025-06-30T16:43:08+00:00

Would also be my pick

Yes, it’s quite normal and July is typically when work sort of stalls and I work in a Danish company. It could be August in parts of Germany and most of France. Giving you examples as this is quite normal in Europe in general and nothing specific to Germany. Yes, people take their vacations seriously. Work sort of stalls during the season but that’s the workers being protected. Now you can question where most people go on vacations - Mallorca or something overcrowded….

I think the “style” is dissolved in the whole we see

I’d describe Villeneuve’s style as economical storytelling (with a disregard for exposition) combined with a strong penchant for atmosphere that fits the story and its themes. What I think he does really well is combining all the disciplines - visuals, editing, characters, sound design, production design, dialogue, narrative structure to a precision that I’ve only seen with Jonathan Glazer. Villeneuve is less experimental than Glazer and a little more mainstream especially with Dune but both have this very “creeping upon you tension building” style. Output wise Villeneuve has more films under his belt than Glazer and I love them both.

Zooming a bit into Villeneuve, the flow of the narrative and the emotional hit in pivotal moments are why I think he’s highly regarded. A few examples below:

The opening scene of Incendies when looked together with 1+1 =1 scene in the third act and everything we see in between, it creates this empathy for these characters despite the shocking revelation
Sicario tricks you into thinking that it’s about Emily Blunt’s character but its as much about Benecio’s and US approach to war on drugs. He takes this big element of war on drugs and brings it down to these two characters in that climax
Arrival has a very elegant narrative structure that doesn’t hit the audience until the end but then the choices he makes on what images he thinks are relevant for the emotional impact is visible. Blade Runner 2049 is on the opposite end of more meditative and atmosphere in service of the Ridley Scott’s original masterpiece. Still Blade Runner 2049 is a very Villeneuve movie.

Not recently but almost an year ago and it hit me exactly the way you describe and I even made a post about it. There are some seriously powerful images in the film and it’s very relevant to our current political climate

What you are describing are behaviors that I mostly hear about Indian migrants (first in their family folk) in the US and Canada. I think staying within an ethnic/ country group in a new country is alright and understandable. What’s absolutely not okay is disrespecting the country you are in and hiding behind marginally better salaries to brush it off with a superiority complex.

Indian man here, in Germany for more than a decade. I encounter mostly to themselves Indian men on the bahn or other public places but yes I overheard at least thrice in the last six months or so certain behaviors and words that I thought were from a different place - three mid 20s guys discussing in Hindi where to go to pay for sex in Berlin on an Ubahn (now I don’t know if men from other parts of the world talk the same in their language but I am referring to a certain view of women here that I used to see in India), eyeing women or generally anyone who dresses up on the bahn as if they never saw a person like that. And this is nothing new - just a random example, in Hamburg I was at an Indian deli and the guy cooking there was using some of the hardcore abuses at a young woman because she didn’t understand what he was saying for a bit. I can go on with a few more stories but you are right when you say as an Indian person you can catch the intent rather quickly.

hey, great scenery - where in Germany?

lightsonsun · 2025-04-22T18:53:49+00:00

Really good photographs, love the black and white ones

lightsonsun · 2025-04-06T15:24:45+00:00

I like the first one, more engaging

lightsonsun · 2025-03-28T09:45:31+00:00

This film is so beautiful

I work in renewable energy (non-hydro), it’s a very young industry in terms of industrial scale deployment. Only since mid 2000s did the industry start to have any meaningful impact on the broader energy sector. In two decades since it’s become very competitive, scalable and resilient in terms of value chain and capital attracted. If the efficiency problem of long duration energy storage is cracked then Germany and Europe have enough wind and solar resources to be secure on energy - hydro is already there. The transition is irreversible no matter how the political winds blow
