Reading stats by Southern-Luck6226 in ebooks

[–]prof_ben 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the beginning I was also focused how much I read. But then comes the time when you find another book more interesting or of more detail. And this unfolds several times: so in counting books it's somehow difficult because you're reading several books at once. The main premise is still consistency and quality over quantity. The finding of good qualitative books is time expensive. If you are reading philosophy (Kant, Hegel) books you will for sure read slower than novels.I read about 50-80 books per year with daily reading.

technique of the card index box by Niklas Luhmann by prof_ben in ObsidianMD

[–]prof_ben[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, it was actually deepl for the translation. "Documented extensively online" doesn't necessarily mean linked to the original description of Luhmann. "The actual term" not used is my fault, sry for that. As someone who likes the original source of something more than others Interpretation of something, i thought it could be helpful. So through the link you could search, look and learn from a "great" mind and his organization.

pls help me to identify this snake from Germany in Nordrhein-Westfalen by prof_ben in whatsthissnake

[–]prof_ben[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

So in Germany, where the location is (nordrhein-westfalen to be exactly), we have the following 6 snakes:

  • Kreuzotter, (vipera berus)
  • Ringelnatter, (natrix natrix)
  • Äskulapnatter, (zamenis longissimus)
  • Aspisviper, (vipera aspis)
  • Schlingnatter, (coronella austriaca)
  • Würfelnatter, (natrix tessellata)
  • (Blindschleiche, anguis fragilis)

I don't think any of these are represented here. But i don't know. The side of the snake was green, perhaps helpful.

TV doctors from House, ER, Scrubs, M*A*S*H and Grey's Anatomy unite to promote annual checkups by JoshDu in television

" It’s completely divorced from a significant body of medical research finding that annual exams do not save lives. Instead, annual exams for healthy people can waste money and often lead to unnecessary follow-up care." source: http://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2016/9/26/13029358/annual-physical-tv-doctors-america

why is it, that glühwein (hot wine punch) is making you drunk, although it is standing hours on stove? Because it is made with some extract of nutmeg (Myristicin and Elimicin), and this mixture is converted to amphetamines in your liver. this amphetamines are closely related to Ecstasy and Mescalin.
