When I look at stunning works of art (especially architecture - how did they build such tall structures when they didn't have cranes) from hundreds of years ago, first thought is - that should have taken a long time and tremendous effo

Map says "data from https://www.homeboy.immo/en " - maybe he scraped, just guessing. Nice site, has tons of info on moving to Berlin. Must have time quite a bit of effort to put together

One of my colleagues (he is in his mid forties now) joked that he was raised by TV, not his parents. I suppose today’s kids are raised by social media. It is super easy to give an iPad to a 10 year old, so they don’t bother you while you’re

But do you check if the hotel has bathroom doors? If yes, where? You call up and ask? And trust the person on the phone is honest? Most people would assume bathrooms have doors. It is just exhausting to have to check for every small, common
