I would +1 this. I'm completely bald, and almost never leave the house without a hat, even in summer. It's also important protection against sunburn :).

For something comfortable in the summer, I personally often go for brimmed hiking hats. A few that I like:

• Fjällräven Abisko Summer Hat
• Shelta Sun Hawk

Yeah, absolutely. My watch is getting quite old, so I was waiting for the Fenix 8 before I decided what to do, but at least for me, it's definitely not worth the price. I'm most likely going to end up getting a Fenix 7 instead now, and maybe wait a bit to see if they end up discounting it to get rid of old inventory.

I'm working on some outdated memories, but IIRC:

Germany allows dual citizenship now, but used to not allow it in most cases. In those cases, if you applied for German citizenship, you had to express that you were willing to give up your old citizenship. Once you were granted citizenship, you had a certain amount of time (two years?) to show a certificate that you renounced your old citizenship. If you didn't, your German citizenship would be revoked.

The only one I really remember is Trogdor, but in order to keep it in my heart, I am a proud owner of Trogdor!!: The Boardgame

I finished Dave the Diver a few weeks ago, and I really enjoyed it. For me, it hit this sweet spot of "Remember where everything is and grind the same thing over and over" without getting boring.

TIL. Thank you!

Thanks for that link! That does seem very similar to what I read about in Machi Koro 2, and I think we will definitely try it the next time we play.

I bought Deus Ex: Human Revolution for 2.99€ and I've been enjoying it. I've always heard good things about the series, but never tried it before. Definitely feeling that Cyberpunk had some inspiration from Deus Ex.

I also bought Firewatch for 4.99€ and beat it in a day. I wasn't spoiled about the story, but I had read a bit about it. At the end of the day, I'm glad I played it, but I'm not sure that I would necessarily recommend it.

Have you watched the show? The game is not for me, horrorness being a part of the reason, but the show was very well done.

My basic approach is: Esc works like in normal evil-mode, and takes me into vterm-copy-mode as well. Without doing that, I have C-w C-w remapped to move to another window, so I can switch to another window for all the rest of my keybindings. And I have C-Esc mapped to send Esc into the terminal itself.

I'm using evil-collection for the basic bindings, and I have my own custom stuff here: https://github.com/bricka/emacs.d/blob/main/init.el#L1054-L1073

Edit: Forgot C-Esc

This immediately made me think of Scythe, and sure enough, he did the art. Fantastic.

Depending on the complexity, there's also abbrev-mode: https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Abbrevs.html

I do like a lot of meat alternatives, but I was at a restaurant a while back where they had a non-Beyond Meat veggie burger. And it was super good! I feel like it's becoming a lost art, though :(.

My dad is the opposite: he wants every restaurant to only offer Beyond Meat burgers. He loves them.

Ein Freund von mir hat Zombie Teenz Evolution mit seiner 7-Jähriger Tochter gespielt, und sie hat es genossen. Es gibt auch Zombie Kidz Evolution, das auf jüngere Kinder abgezielt werden soll.

Die zwei sind Legacy Spiele, was heißt, dass man es mehrmals spielt, und neue Fähigkeiten oder Charactere entdeckt, oder das Brett irgendwie ändert, zB mit neuen Stickern, die Orte ändern.

When I was starting to learn German, I found it quite intimidating, but once I started having a grasp of the language, I found it actually pretty easy. The trick is just being able to recognize the subwords. Take a word like Arbeitsunfähigkeitsbescheinigung: once you know Arbeit and Schein, it already starts being easier to see the meaning.

Interessant: Ich habe immer an diese Situation gedschty als jemand der die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft beantragen will. Aber ich glaube du hast Recht und es wird ermöglichen, dass Deutsche im Ausland auch einen ausländischen Pass beantragen dürfen, ohne die deutsche Staatsbürgeeschaft zu verlieren.

Ja, das ist natürlich eine echte Sorge von mir. Ich habe irgendetwas gelesen, dass irgendjemand wollte, dass es in der Zukunft möglich sein soll, die Staatsbürgerschaft von Eingebürgererten wieder wegzunehmen. Aber ich glaube das wurde abgelehnt.

Have you ever read the book Elantris? It sounds very not fun.

There's a fork of Openboard that is trying to update it, but AFAIK, it's not published anywhere yet: https://github.com/Helium314/openboard

I wish this was exaggerated, but it isn't at all. Every time I try to learn Haskell, I end up in some tutorial: "You know how you sometimes need to represent eigenvectors in an n-dimensional plane with isotonically theoretical pulsarfunctions? Haskell types make that easy!"

For what it's worth, you can replace xi with just s or c

I started off this year with Go, and after the first three days, I was so happy to switch to Rust for today. It's one of my absolute favorite programming languages, but I never use it at work, so it's one of my joys of Advent of Code.

Thank you for sharing this. I also wrote a regular expression with \d|eno|owt and so on, and I was not so proud of myself :). Good to know I wasn't the only one :).

As a follow up, I've been playing with Elpaca, and they do indeed have a changelog. You can run elpaca-fetch-all and see all of the new commits for each package.

I'm still playing BG3: I've just recently started Act 3, and I am still loving the game, though I'm finding it harder to stay focused at this point. I'm also starting to think about how to play a more evil character in my next playthrough without being a total asshole, but we'll see how that comes along.

I never really thought of it as science fiction (see her MaddAdam series for something more SF-y), but I love the book and think it does a great job of extrapolating from various political trends into where parts of the "western world" could end up going.

I'm also not surprised it's a candidate for being banned, either from people who think it paints religion or conservativsm in a negative light, or people who think it might make anyone under 18 uncomfortable. Is it appropriate for 5 year olds? Probably not. 16 year olds? Seems reasonable to me.

I'm still working my way through Baldurs Gate 3: I guess I'm around the middle of Act 2. I am still loving the game :).

I think "bad" would be the wrong word. I usually describe it as "weird". And it feels a bit smushed together somehow: lots of different things that don't really fit that well together, in my opinion.

It may well be worth reading, but as the first entry on a list of best science fiction and fantasy, it feels out of place to me.

I've read schockingly few of the ones on the list, and from what I know, I feel torn. Some I'm happy to see: NK Jemisin is a great author, and although I haven't read Exhaltation by Ted Chiang, everything I've read of his has been incredible.

On the other hand, seeing Perdidio Street Station as the first entry really threw me for a loop. The book is totally fine, but it is extremely weird, and I definitely don't see it as a must-read.

Edit: typo

Hah, I do know what twerking is, but I never associated it with this phrase. A follow-up: are you actually touching the ground? What body part is touching the ground?

In our first game of Clank Legacy, we thought that as long as you died above the Line of No Return, or whatever it's called, you got points, regardless of whether you had an artifact or not. This had...implications for some of the story choices that we made.

Ja, ich habe Krabat vergessen. Das habe ich schon gelesen, nachdem ich den ASP Album gehört habe :)

Ich habe gestern mit Die Haartepichknüpfer angefangen und ich bin total hooked. Vielen Dank für die Empfehlung!

Klingt wie eine gute Empfehlung! Ich lese normalerweise auf meinem Tolino, aber Die Stadt der träumenden Bücher war als "normales" Buch großartig...ich vermute, dass Die 13 1/2 Leben auch besser nicht auf dem Tolino ist.

Momo habe ich schon gelesen und großartig gefunden. Ich habe irgendwann mit Die Elfen angefangen, aber ich war nicht "hooked"...vielleicht soll ich es nochmal probieren...

In Austria, some things like ground beef are ordered in decagrams. My wife used to get confused responses when she tried that in Germany :).

I watched a few slightly older shows recently: Killjoys, which I really couldn't get into, and now Dark Matter. I'm finding it a bit cliched, but I like it so far.

I use simplyTel and am pretty happy: https://www.simplytel.de/

Also, I feel way out of touch. I have 3 GB and very rarely reach the limit.

I've been using it at work, where my work email is in Gmail. I find it a good desktop email client, though even with its redesign, some things show their age. I also find that if you're using Google for your mail, there is still some stuff lacking. I blame Google more for that than Thunderbird though :).

So in short, I call it good enough (I like it way better than Apple's Mail and Calendar programs), but it is still bas a ways to go to be great.

Thanks! I found the instructions here, which don't seem too hard: https://blog.voip.ms/voip-on-cell-phones-ios-and-android/

But otherwise, VoIP.ms looks pretty much like what I'm looking for. It also seems super super cheap for my needs (keep a phone number alive, make a few calls or SMSes per year).
