My take, as a German, without looking up the historic consensus: In Germany the oppression against Jews gradually increased from 1933 until WWII started in 1939. This gave many the opportunity to emigrate. In Eastern Europe, Germany quickly invaded („Blitzkrieg“) and immediately stated rallying the Jews into ghettos and started murdering them. There was no real chance to emigrate or flee.

Someone convinced me to study computer science 20 years ago. The career possibilities with good money and easy work have put the rest of life on easy mode (for now). Even meeting my wife and having my family would never have happend without that decision.

Thumbs up for the Silo series. Even though it’s not in outer space, many other boxes tick: multi-generation, environmental systems, spoiled planet …

On days that I know I will only join meetings and reply to mails, I just take my iPad to the office. Combined with a BT keyboard and mouse, plugged into the big screens (USB-C), it’s just like a full PC.

You can move windowed apps around, arrange them just fine, especially if you extend instead of mirror the iPad screen. But that only works with mouse and keyboard, not with touch only.

Yeah, that song stood the test of time (at least the test of a decade).

The latest was „Call me maybe“. I’m not mad, that song slaps.

I‘m still amazed, that Spain‘s highest mountain is the volcano island Tenerife (Pico del Teide). Meters above sea level has another impact if the sea level is right next to it.

Just enabled it, as I didn’t know it existed before this post. I missed it and having it now makes me happy.

It’s a bone sticking out, but not that bone.

Probably a femur or humerus.

It just follows the general ‚suggestion‘ of gravity in Star Wars. It can be switched on or off as needed. Even the smallest vessels do vertical takeoff without any visible thrusters and in space your feet are safely attached to the floor.

After watching and reading The Expanse that has become very apparent.

Especially if you consider R2 as unreliable narrator that would explain his antics in Episode 1, 2 and 3.

Not really, if you’re in Barcelona.

Our accounts are the same age.

Yeah, I fully understand their benefit to make better use of renewable energy sources. But they are not net-generating power, so their inclusion in the graph is still somewhat misleading.
