Concept2 rowing machines. Even if they break, you can still buy spare parts at reasonable rates even for the very first model, which is decades old and only sold a few copies. Fantastic engineering.

ATI Mach32 EISA. It looked to good on paper, but somehow, it did not make DOS go brrrrrr 😟

Lexx - The Dark Zone.

Pure Canadian-German Madness with a really great cast and the wildest stories ever. And what other show has a certified anti hero as starship captain?

Another theory is that people with children want you to have some, too, because they have no other topics available for discussion.

I’m in way over my head as it is. I can’t even imagine what it would be like having to be responsible for some gremlins, as well. We do not even dare get a cat (or two - you should always get two so they’re not lonely) for the same reason. Good thing my SO sees it exactly the same way. We’re both glad we didn’t have children.

Don’t hate me, but I like Cyberpunk 2077. It may have had its problems at launch, and I heard people were promised all kinds of stuff that was not delived, or was delivered only much later, but I never listen to hype anyway. I’ve played this for many hours. There are great mods for that game that make it even better, and it has such cool characters, such a fascinating world, good music, great design, the combat is fun… I love it.

The European commision sure wanted TTIP to happen, so there’s that.

because they sell cars to China

For how much longer? Can German cars even still compete with the Chinese, or has that ship sailed already? Come, buy the best engineering of yesteryear! Yay!

China heavily subsidizes EV manufacturers (and production in general), plus they have cheaper environmental and labour standards… it’s not like there’s a fair market EU companies can compete in without some sort of handicap.

Hah. Volkswagen is in trouble right now because they fucked up the transition to electric cars completly. What do you think will happen now? That’s right, we the (German) people will have to save them now, with our money. Basically the same shit as a subsidy, just later in the process. Kinda like what the Chinese do, just the really stupid way.

Oh, and of course, it will be everybody’s fault but their own.

Over my rotting, worm riddled carcas.

Nighr City is just so good!

They are still using Reddit, so one has to wonder if they have not abandoned sanity and intellect a long time ago.

I taught my niece to say “I can’t work like this!”. That was fun!

Anything sold by Gwyneth Paltrow in her online shop, which I will not name here so as not to promote it. In the best case, goods sold there will be harmless and entirely useless. In the worst case, they will cause serious harm.

Specifically this version of yq - there are other versions bundled with distros that look and act very differently and lack the potency of this version.

Slackware 2.x, on two floppies. A boot and a root disk, downloaded from a BBS using a dial-up connection (I think it was a 57.6 modem). No X, but I still loved it, so much better than DOS.

Nö, nix! Freie Fahrt für Freischwimmer… oder so!

Never talk to the police. They are not there to help you.

bei der SPD gibts leider viele die gerne Putin am sack lutchen würden,

Wie hat mal einer so schön gedichtet:

Es stöhnt der alte Mützenich

“Mein Putin, oh! Benütze mich!”
