If I wish happy birthday to friends every year but never get anything from them I will be suspicious if they even care for me, yes.

Everyone has smart phones and already adds people’s phone numbers in their contacts. Just add their birthdays as well and you will be reminded. If you don’t, you don’t care.

Another win for home offices!

Boss called me in because his computer was slow. What I saw was a desktop filled to the last pixel with files, stacked on top of each other and hundreds of open browser windows with hundreds of tabs each and a blurry background image of the building we were in (honestly a beautiful old, restored building but it was his whole identity). I had no words.

Schools need to teach media literacy. So if I had to do anything it would be this.

Since I had a dog I got so used to waking up early that I don’t even need an alarm anymore. Though waking up and getting up are different issues. It helps to have the smart lights turn on in the morning and of course going to bed early enough.

By that time I really wanted to stop because I realized how every inhale put another layer of tar on my lungs and that thought alone made me feel bad about it. I believe the disgusting images they had to put on cigarette packs at some point in Germany made an impact on me.

It also helped a lot that less and less friends were smoking and that I had a significant change in my life due to me getting a dog at the same time, so I kinda went with the flow.

Stopped smoking 7 years ago. I tried it two times before without success. This time was easy. Mindset is everything.

If you have specific interests it’s sometimes helpful.

So at my work the coffee is shit because it’s a fully automatic coffee machine and it is also not properly cleaned. I usually make my own at home and bring a thermos.

So yes, there really is going to be a Dell Pro Max Micro Plus.

This is brilliant

But do your research or better find an organization who did the research, can be trusted to know what they’re doing and makes sure to protect the trees afterwards. Just planting random trees somewhere is not necessarily going to help. It could even make things worse for that area.

I was at a dinner party with my shepherd-mix. While we humans sat at the table, he strolled around, went to the kitchen and found a small, delicious smelling trashcan. It had cooked chicken bones in it, not good for dogs. Unable to open it on his own, luckily, he grabbed the whole trashcan and brought it to me to open for him. Everyone was laughing. He was sad though that I did not help him get what he wanted but I was a little bit proud of him.

He was a great dog and lived to be 16. Rest in peace, buddy.

Dull knifes are even more dangerous to use because they tend to slip in unexpected directions.

Your wife is correct

Not Apple though. I constantly trigger something I don’t want while I try to reach the top left with my thumb.

So far the Spigen Smart Fold 2 Magfit Wallet which I don’t like because it’s too bulky and heavy, only fits 2 cards realistically and you can’t get them out easily without unfolding the kickstand. So I don’t use it.

And the Twelve South Butterfly. It’s beautiful and nice for travel. The night stand configuration is not very stable due to the weak outer magnet but once you learn to be a bit more careful with it it’s ok.

Nevertheless I plan on buying some solid stands for bedside and home office but haven’t decided yet.

Otherwise I don’t really know what else to buy. Don’t trust it as a bike mount and don’t need it in the car.

Maybe they can now finally hire some developers to work on their software.

I only know the other way around. Vanilla ice cream with chocolate syrup is great.

Not accepting that people need time to adjust and maybe go vegan in smaller steps. There is even hostility towards people who look for fake meat or dare to say they like the taste of meat even though they still want to avoid eating it. Just generally being assholes and gatekeepers.
