Foreigner...? Reading this as a non-Chinese and non-US American is quite baffling. Are these the only two countries in your world?

Humans have had a taste for the macabre at least for as long as we have written history. Public executions used to be a past time activity (even Jesus' crucifixion is told like it was a public show), the morgue of Paris was a tourist attraction, even the sanitised (and controversial) Body Worlds exhibition has no trouble finding an audience. Maybe what's weird is our relationship with death and putrefaction. It happens to everyone yet it's somehow in bad taste to talk about it.

Didn't the housing crisis start with bad policies and market deregulations? I'm not sure which government undid which regulations though

Where does this silly notion come from? Elon Musk also said something like anti-science, anti-merit, anti-human thing and he's not an original thinker. I've read some longtermism papers, but have yet to come across this exact wording. Where did you hear it? (Please don't say Elon, tell me you at least have the primary source...)

Mitt Romney's wife shared this lovely story of when they were in college, they didn't ask anything from their parents. They'd come visit and got them a nice dinner, that was it. Ann Romney had to order carpet samples and sew them together so they didn't have to walk on bare floors. Sometimes, they were so stripped of cash that they had to sell stock to get money. They had to sell stock. SELL. STOCK.

She probably thought it was an uplifting story.

Apparently there are some Cherry MX sets from 30 years ago that are still working today. So I guess part of it is longevity, part nostalgia.

Humans could be about to ruin whatever was supposed to survive on Mars in a couple million of years. We've disrupted our own planet, and are about to destroy another one. And honestly, we're not all that great as a species.

Schlichter Arbeitsrucksack? (discuss.tchncs.de)

So, ich fang mal mit einem safen Thema an - welchen Rucksack nutzt ihr so für die Arbeit? Deutsch ist meine 4. Sprache, entschuldige bitte die Fehler, etc, pp.

Ich muss zunehmend zu Kunden in anderen Städten für 2-3 Nächte fahren, dafür nehme ich die Bahn (in der Arbeitszeit ein Nickerchen machen zu können ist einfach köstlich). Ich bin bisher mit einem kleinen Koffer und einer Totebag meiner Firma klargekommen, samt 13" Laptop, Unterlagen und Wasserflasche. Den Koffer werde ich behalten, aber mein Rucken wird sich langsam auf einen Rucksack freuen.

Ich bin keine modebewusste Frau (s. Firmen Totebag). Den Kunden ist es ziemlich egal was ich trage, ich bin nicht in Marketing oder sowas ähnliches unterwegs. Es darf jedoch gern ein bisschen stylish sein. Mir ist sehr wichtig, dass der Rucksack langlebig ist und hat nachkaufbare Ersatzteile. Mein letzter Tagesrucksack war ein Scooby Doo Rucksack in Violett. Den hab ich mit 7 bekommen und hat, bis ich 22 war, alles mitgemacht. Nochmal so, nicht modebewusst.

Die jetzige top drei:

Habt ihr noch weitere Empfehlungen, oder hat jemand sogar einen von den top drei schonmal probiert? Budget bis 120€ - Tumi, Tom Bihn, Rimowa, usw kommen deshalb nicht in Frage.

[Edit] Ich sehe, dass es neue replies gibt, kann aber die replies nicht lesen. Kp wieso. Danke für die Antworte, ich werd's morgen nochmal versuchen. Ist das ein Federation Ding weil ich nicht auf Feddit eingeloggt bin?

!! SPOILER !! Good Omens 2. Are we ready to talk about it? (discuss.tchncs.de)
 

I finished the second series yesterday and I'm ready to share what I thought of it.

spoilerThe cold openings, the mini episodes within the episodes are not as interconnected as Gaiman might have thought. Why does Crowley seemed to know everything and Aziraphale flutters like a leaf for telling a lie. Didn't he, against God's will, give his flaming sword to humans, which inadvertently became humans' first weapon, and then became War's sword? And where was the Crowley that changed the paintball guns into real guns? Why is he always so nice all of a sudden?

It's a shame that it was filmed under Covid restrictions, but then why produce what was basically a "bridge" series? A little bird told me that the storyline Pterry and Gaiman discussed back in the days was about The Second Coming, that was teased in the final moment in the final episode of this series. Well. I wish that was what we'd had gotten instead.

This series is the Aziraphale & Crowley show and that's okay. So why on earth were they separated for whole episodes midway through? And I like the kiss, though I found the way it was cut was cheesy.

This is not to say I didn't like series 2, I laughed a lot, it's entertaining enough, but to me it's no where near as good as the first series.

If I have to give it a rating out of ten, ten being perfect, one being not only technically bad but also morally offensive, this is a 6,9. I liked it enough, but series 1 was an 8,8.
