While I understand what you mean, I don't see myself as having to suffer from stupid legislation. I am no politician and do not plan to be one at this point.

Switzerland is the current plan. It will enable me to keep my business in Germany while not living in CrazyLand myself. I also considered USA and Canada, yet this would mean more problems (at least at the beginning). I am quite familiar wit

I will now start my move out of the EU. I know how heavily restricted Internet feels like from my frequent Iran travels, and I will move out of any country that moves 2 inches in that direction, whatever the "good reason" might be

The elephant in the room is that between the EU and US, there should be no visa at all, ideally some kind of free move zone like the EU is itself (and befriended states like Switzerland)

Even on NetBSD, my old love, you can not take you program on the x86 machine, pack it and then run it on arm. You will have to crosscompile and hope it works.

The problem is really not cars, but (if any) the way they have to be built. You could easily fit 4 people in a 400kilo vehicle on 2,5m length and move them safely at speeds of up to 100km/h. But crash regulations are so strict and the

I just recently loaded it to make a simple prototype application with it and it was a smooth and easy process. I still hesitate to fully do a big project with it in almost 2020 (I was proficient with Delphi 20 years ago). But if you leave

Assuming you are talking German well, Fernuni Hagen offers excellent math studies.

Dallas, while the wages are quite high, also has a lot lower cost of living. And the average person is nicer, too.

Coal is needed for steel production, so if the coal supplies from abroad stop, no steel can be produced and thus no tanks.

By the way, I am currently investigating an issue were auto-upload of my holiday pictures in Iran to OneDrive is somehow not possible. All those pictures are location-tagged by my iPhone. Maybe it is just an coincidence with a bug, but it i

I personally would really like the game LHX back again, with slightly upgraded graphics, but without the bloat most modern games come with. Also, Stunts 4D driving was really a time killer for me and my friends.

I may say that I recently got a victim of the USA sanctions when our plane back from Iran made two emergency landings in a row and had no real possibility to repair it obviously. We were then put on another Jetliner which can be only seen i

The UAE is a sheikhdom. While that does not come with all the goods from a democracy, it is much better than your average dictatorship. In theory it is similar, yet in practice a sheikh needs the support of the majority of his people. Also,

I am a „liberal“ German and I really have a hard time to translate that correctly. I am neither conservative, liberal nor libertarian. German „liberalism“ and how it is seen in most countries is a distinct mix of all of them, but not in the

Your plan is awesome! The language is pure logic and terseness (all those who want „gender neutral“ language, here you are, there is no article at all, you really have to ask „is this person male or female“). I am a German native and there

Well, it was Persian, the language of my wife. I learned it from books and by talking to her and the family. It is my fourth language. But we are also learning spanish now (courses in form of books), but it is too early to really mention it

I just bookmarked your site in the hope that you will find the energy to continue this for a long time. The interesting thing is that there is a big gap between our personal life and what we read in the news. While what we read in the news

The anti-drug-guy I am in this discussion: you are so right. It should be much more acceptable to just fire on one cylinder sometimes, just for the sake of human dignity.

I know some successful people who smoke occasionally (by occasionally I mean 1-3 times a year). Yet, most seem not to do it at all.

Sorry, my knowledge is from biology classes a few years ago, but no blabla (I am no biologist either). Washing out means, there is no real process in the body to cope with THC in a linear way and thus, if heavily used, it might accumulate a

It might "just" be a correlation but it might be heavily interconnected. If you have data proving your "just correlation", please provide them.

And? It's ok if you do not care. But I wanted to make clear that for the body there is a difference between alcohol and other drugs as alcohol, to the body, is mostly just another nutrient (I mean almost all ripe fruits contain a certa

There is a big difference between criminalising/punishing people and hyping drugs as all those cannabis activists do. Smoking may be your personal choice - but I honestly think it would be bad for society if the majority did it. There

And also let's not forget that about everyone with big psychological problems in my peer group started to smoke early on (and developed mental health problems later).
