If you can get them at all. Everything seems disposable nowdays.

Nice. I love how 3d printing helps with sustainability.

I’ve used both metric and imperial and F is fine if all you are doing is choosing what clothes to wear. For anything to do with science or engineering, C just makes more sense. Internally consistent unit systems are a no brained. Fuck having to multiply by some arbitrary number just because your temperature units don’t relate to your volume units (or whatever)

Aussies don’t tend to use the word vacation. Not sure about Germans.

I notice it when I’m dehydrated.

I’ve been pretty happy with my Apple AirPods Pro

If you can’t stop in your sight distance, you are driving too fast. Doesn’t matter what the maximum speed is. There’s no excusing this.

The whining on facebook about how cyclists should be banned whenever something like this happens does my head in. If you can’t stop your car within sight distance, you are driving too fast. Doesn’t matter if it’s a cyclist or a tree across the road. Slow down!

What’s the narrative internally about the harm e-cigarettes do to peoples lungs?

The Eastern Bloc suffered an enormous drop in living quality following the dissolution of the USSR. Far from reaping a bounty via free market liberty, the people in these countries found themselves the subject of a historic privatization and looting of national treasuries and resources.

This is a black and white perspective. You have to keep in mind that citizens of these countries were significantly worse off as (involuntarily) being part of the USSR than the countries that were not in the Eastern Bloc, and most of them are now significantly better off as part of the EU. Most citizens remember the repression, shortages, and russification all too well.
