The designer of this monstrosity, Alexander Lippisch, is really fascinating. He pioneered the use of canards, rocket propulsion and delta fuselages and was researching supersonic flight during WWII. When it was clear that the war was lost, he kept his students working on crazy ideas to keep them from getting drafted.

I am all in on Logseq. Takes a bit of getting used to, but it regularly saves my butt.

… are we the baddies?

Wenn ich denke was für ein Vorgänger diese korrupte Nulpe hatte werde ich aggressiv. Warum können wir nicht einfach kompetente Politiker haben?

You’re not on reddit here, you can say it.

I got two pairs of kevlar jeans that I got reduced. Even after I took the pads out they’re too uncomfortable for a day in the office, but for short trips they’re perfect. For anything longer I got a full textile suit.

That being said, I really need to stop visualizing my mangled legs while driving at highway speeds with normal jeans on.

American peanut butter? My friend, there is only one brand making decent peanut butter:

But I’m out of that, too.

I present Exhibit A, the new Reactor Flamaville in France. Construction took 17 years and 12 billion Euros.

Exhibit B, solar panels I can mount on my roof for a few thousand that run for 20 years without maintenance.

I rest my case.

EDIT: I did some estimating and figured that instead of building a NPR, France could have supplied around 500.000 households with solar and storage instead. That would be the populations of Lyon, Toulouse and Nice combined. And they would have around 65% of their power for free.

No, the Gnome desktop needs a lot more packages. These are just basic packages that are required as a dependency for a Gnome application you’ve installed.

About Israels plans to destabilize the middle east: do they really think that everyone will just peacefully accept that Israel forced them into this mess? Land of eye for am eye and all that?

Klar, jede Schule hat jetzt ein App für den Stundenplan, Vertretungen / Ausfall, Krankmeldungen und aktuelle Nachrichten. Hausaufgaben gibts im Cloud.

Manche Lehrer binden die Handys im Unterricht ein. zB für Fotografie oder um Filme zu machen.

Wobei grundsätzlich an der Gymmi gilt: Geräte aus oder Stumm und weggelegt.

Feuermelder beim jüngsten hat wohl die halbe Nacht gepeipst und nach neuen Batterien verlangt. Heute hat er Schwimmen in der Schule: super Start in die Woche.

Die älteste hat ihr Code für das neue Phone verpeilt, wir freuen uns aufs Zurücksetzen. Doof nur, dass ein Mobilgerät für allerlei in der Schule verausgesetzt wird.

Ein Kollege fällt länger aus, und ich habe eine größere Aufgabe eingefangen für unsere SAP-Migration. Ich hasse SAP und diese unförmige Corporate-Wolke dass es mit sich zieht.

What an idiot. Europe has nothing to gain in this war. Many leaders have already said it’s not Europe’s war. They just need to sit this out and the balance of power will swing in their favor.

In my org, we’ve got stuff in Confluence, SharePoint, emails and chats. And I’m sure that’s nothing special. If there is no single repository, you’ll have to create it yourself. Some here use OneNote (shudder) or Obsidian, I’m using LogSeq. Just copy or link to everything important in there.

The improvement removing the handles is there, but negligible. Especially considering the safety implications. Didn’t China ban flush door handles for safety reasons?

This is a good time to go all in on renewables.

Die Evangelisten erkennen den Papst null an. Generell haben die Katholiken in der USA keinen super Ruf und kaum Mitglieder.

Recently read of some controversy around Booklore. Looks like the main dev is ignoring PRs and just vibe coding everything himself, planning a subscription model, and the quality is slipping.

Fascism, where the enemy is strong and weak at the same time.

Standby drains the battery surprisingly fast.
