Stop obsessing about Reddit and create a content on Lemmy instead. People will come once they see there's enough activity here.

vim, neovim and a bunch of plugins. It's such a great productivity booster, I am using it daily for SW development.

Yeah Canadians are at least polite. In Germany, they will just silently remove the bike lane and sent police ON BIKES herding cyclists from sidewalk into the traffic.

In Czech Republic & Slovakia it is usually a towel to sit on & being naked. Optionally you can wrap yourself in a larger towel or something like that. Most people respect it, but I did experience one woman being told to not wear swimming suit or leave the sauna area.

How is it in Denmark? I've seen beautiful saunas there, where you just jump to the sea to cool down. I NEED TO KNOW!

In Berlin, in 2004, a letfist local newspaper Taz initiated a move to rename part of a street their office is located at in remembrance of Rudi-Dutschke. He was a prominent socialist activist in the 60s, even survived assassination but unfortunately died a couple of years later.

Another newspaper, Axel-Springer has their headquarters on the same street. The same company did play significant role in dissing the student movement Rudi-Dutschke was part of and some believe they are indirectly responsible for the assassination.

What ensued was a long legal battle, where the court had to decide whether the street could be renamed. Taz won the court case and in 2008 the street got its new name.

In 2009, Taz installed a sculpture displaying well-known editors of Bild (owned by Axel Springer), the most sold tabloid in Europe. Their chief editor Kai Diekmann (sic) sports an oversized dick that goes up to the roof of the building. Of course Bild tried to sue, but they lost and the sculpture is there to be enjoyed to this day.

In Germany, you can have fun, but it must be blessed by the court.

Yet there if always mountains of money for ridiculous projects like superexpensive highways in the city or car subsidies. But building new affordable housing is always refused with an absurd excuse like "we don't want to distort free market principles".

In Germany they just always censor shotgun seat with a black rectangle. Precisely because of the same issue, someone's wife got hold of photo taken by the speed camera, with the husband and another woman on it, the guy sued and won privacy infringement claim.

Not sure if best, but:

  • cleaning the kitchen in the evening. I listen to podcasts or music while doing it, and the mornings are easier as I don't have to confront mountains of dirty dishes.
  • reading - I try to dedicate at least one hour a day and read a book. I guess with general decline of the content on the Internet it got much easier to go offline.
  • meditation and relaxation techniques - I started doing this as a teenager and thanks to hours I've put in I have no problems falling asleep. Even when I am high on caffeine I can relax my body during the night and wake in the morning not feeling like a zombie.

Yeah I came here just to say the same. BTW it was Dionysus, he fashioned a phallus from the fig tree that grew on the grave and fucked himself with it. The story is most likely a Christian propaganda. I still love it though.

Maybe you have Chutzpah on your mind?

I always wonder how resilient are these solar parks when a big hailstorm comes. There were some really large storms in Germany in the last couple of years and they caused really serious damage in the cities.

Travelling with a bike in Germany is such a pain in the ass and the company doesn't really care about cyclist's needs. There is never enough space in the bike carriages, conductor never bothers to send away people sitting in the sections where bikes can be stored and don't even get me started how it looks in the summer. If it only gets worse elsewhere, god help us... The only alternative is to drive a car with a bike rack if you want to get anywhere without having a heart attack on 1st day of your holiday.

It's an infernal machine. My wife bought it secondhand for pennies and is making smoothies for kids with it. But damn at full throttle it sounds like a jet engine. Whenever it stands on the kitchen counter I carefully tiptoe around it scared it will suck me in and pulverize me into fine tomato paste.

The housing ages as well. Old houses will be torn down and new builds will be regulated to maintain the supply low.

Demographic will definitely also have impact, but so much money is tied in REITs that some sort of bailout is inevitable in case the prices crash.
