in germany people spread on social media the idea that everyone should get to their windows every night 9p.m. and bang on pots + clap to express gratitude for healthcare and supermarket workers.

I hate the idea actually.
I am a baker and work early shifts, where I have to get up and 1a.m. and so do many healthcare workers who work shifts. they will wake them up.

also it stinks of attention seeking "look how cool wE ARE we are SO much solidarity woohooo"...

"For the foreseeable future, we’ll be refunding the purchase price of our book “REMOTE: Office Not Required”."

Great gesture by Basecamp! Their book is an amazing intro to remote work and one of only two books I put on the resources list of my "how to thrive working from home" guide https://markosaric.com/remote-work/

Details about the refund are at https://twitter.com/jasonfried/status/1237773562322259970

Me, exhausted: "Germany you can't just call everything with crushed tomatoes "ketchup"."

Germany, pointing at a jar of pasta sauce: "Noodle ketchup."

The hold music for our company's phone system is served by an ancient ipod that's locked in an electrical closet, duck-taped to the wall. Nobody remembers the ipod's unlock code.

who does serious weight lifting and can give me some tips about what I want: real strength and muscle as I get older, I want to remain really strong and some vanity muscles too :)

A big problem with modern Star Trek in my opinion is that it was born as Forbidden Planet but now everyone thinks it has to be Wrath of Khan.

"What if all our weapons were useless against the monsters which lurk in the human heart" vs "but what if just all our weapons".

Übrigens: Diese ganzen Maßnahmen wegen des Coronavirus wie die Absage von Großveranstaltungen, Absperrung ganzer Gebiete (oder Staaten) usw. werden nicht getroffen weil das Virus so gefährlich für den Einzelnen wäre, sondern damit das Gesundheitssystem nicht zusammenbricht.

Liebe PolitikerInnen: Reden wir doch mal darüber, wie ein Gesundheitssystem aussehen müsste, das nicht schon bei einer Grippewelle an seine Grenzen kommt.
