I don't measure it. That said, I just spent my 8 hour workday in front of a screen. So at least that. By the time I go to bed it'll probably be like 12 hours if you count reading on an e-ink display.

Trump dictatorship sure is a change in the status quo, but how exactly will it help marginalized groups?

It’s the same as seeing a person rob an elderly person in the street, and kicking the shit out of them.

Not really, because it's not a random occurrence, but one they're actively trying to bait. It's more like dressing someone up as an elderly person with a clearly visible full wallet and having them walk laps through a dangerous neighborhood until someone tried to rob them.

I really enjoyed visiting Cimiteiro Monumentale in Milan. A historic cemetery with lots of lavishishly designed huge tombs. Very few tourists there and no scammers whatsoever.

I'm not impressed by this. Doesn't seem like much of an RPG anymore, but like a generic action game with thin slices of RPG elements at best. I don't mind the game not being open world, but the levels shown seem to effectively be linear corridors without any variety in how to approach a situation.

Yes, but this is the final European election without a threshold in Germany.

Something like 100k€ would enable me to do all the traveling I want to do and simultaneously save up enough money for a comfortable early retirement. Currently I'm focussing more on having a job that isn't soul-crushingly stressful and full of overtime though.

I've just finished "The Sparrow" by Mary Doria Russell. A sci-fi story where it's the Jesuits who are sending the first mission to contact an alien species. It was a really great book, some of the best sci-fi I've read in recent years. The author really knows how to write great characters you care about, despite the fact that you know it'll all end in disaster from the very beginning.

I've now started "Gardens of the Moon", the first book of the "Malazan Book of the Fallen" series. The series is somewhat infamous for being very complicated and difficult to read, so we'll see how it goes. The author definitely likes to use some very obscure vocabulary, good thing I have an ebook reader with a built-in dictionary.

True. But you know the movie is bad when it can't even do mediocre derivative fantasy justice.

Not sure what to think of this, but compared to giving the studio to Goro it might have been the better alternative TBH. I just hope NTV doesn't lose sight of what makes Ghibli movies so special.

Not sure how available they are internationally, but Lowa shoes generally last quite a few years for me. They're focused on hiking and sports, but they have a few everyday models as well.

Countries have different laws and regulations that companies have to adhere to if they want to sell a product or publish a website there.

Additionally, they might have bought the rights to stream a movie in one country, but not others. Offering that movie in other countries would then be a copyright violation.
