Indeed traveling educated me concerning cars. 1.) When traveling through the US, I understood that giant cars ("rolling living rooms") make perfect sense for the often long distances that have to be driven to get from one place to

Only recently I bought a TI 84 Python Edition and I love it. Good user interface, good functionality. I prefer to have separate calculators with me when reading and thinking (I also use the Python functionality for little helper scripts, e.

Maybe, as a culture, we should emphasize MORE the health of the family, of the duty and honor it brings to raise kids and less on the "perfect" romantic relationships of the parents? Shouldn't we promote a less Hollywood-like

While I still love my IT work which consumes most of my time, my wife and I actually decided to "make" more stuff and possibly make money with it: crafting photos on real film in our darkroom, doing electronics, invent wood kits,

I think the main problem is how American cities are built: they are not intended to be walkable (the same is true for some modern European suburbs). Compare this with European city centers: having a car there is not a benefit, but a liabili

Individual transportation has been a staple of civilization for the last few thousand years. As people all have individual ideas on where to go and when, individual transportation is a close to perfect solution to the problem. The question

That might explain the thing I sometimes experience with my screen. I also have an Ikea Markus. Sometimes, when I get up, the screen goes off. I thought there is some kind of weird sensor in the screen.

Haha, I am really happy with my 2019 Renault, too (I never wanted to own a french car, but the model we bought was the only one in the entire market that fit all our requirements). There is and should be no french car without its little &qu

Wow. I will try this product today as I am exactly in the target group. I often listen to different recordings of the same music to find the best one, I want to dive into certain artists or genres and indeed - with Apple Music and Spotify,

I have only one grief with (all) PC Flight Simulators: the feeling on landing. As a private pilot, I find that takeoff and flight is actually quite well simulated, but not the landing. In a real small plane, the controls begin to feel wobbl

I would have blindly have voted for Lenovo. Until this year, when (out of technical curiosity) I got an M1 powered Macbook. I use MacOS, but I also need Linux all the time. So I installed Ubuntu on Parallels - and it is amazingly fast, capa

Bösendorfer is not German :) but of course it is super premium, too. My characterization was coined on the German manufacturers (car and piano) only.

This can happen on all pianos. Do not forget that having „a Steinway“ or a „Bechstein“ for many people means that the piano is 100 years old (I think of my neighbor‘s 100 year old Steinway with a cracked soundboard, too). In so many years,

You are of course 100% right. That said, the New York Steinway factory mainly builds for the American continent. Where I live, Steinways come from Hamburg, Germany.

Oh dear, that story, except the abuse, could be me. I bought a Bechstein upright last year, an R124 with S/N 215798. The R (for Residence) and A models differ a bit. R is more refined, and the differences between individual pianos are

The problem with banning private jets for reasons of climate change: it is nothing but symbolism. A private jet user might be personally guilty of having a large carbon footprint, but as there are only comparatively small numbers of privat

If you beed to be on time, national flights with Lufthansa for me are close to 100% reliable whereas Deutsche Bahn turned out to be a catastrophe in about 50% of the cases. I still don’t get it: they own the complete network, they control e

In 2017 I bought a new Renault Twingo in the basic version to commute. It was great in an unexpected way: it didn’t distract at all from driving. It had one great simple feature: you could put your smartphone at the place usual GPS screens

The house in Germany we finally bought features an almost perfect solution: the master bedroom is alone on the top floor and the only other room on this floor, separated by a 2sqm corridor, is a large bathroom. So you actually have 2 doors

When I visited family in Canada, I found that the floor plans of the houses there were much more attractive than most found in Germany, but what I also said is: The quality even of the door to the house is less than the quality of the door
