Thanks for the offer, but I decided to keep this a closed source one man project for the time being. This way I can go at my own speed.

I have the impression that Japan is the center of trainspotting worldwide. When I lived there, I often went hiking with a Japanese friend who would often ask me if it was a problem to make a little detour, because at station X there is curr

No problem, go ahead. I just wanted to let you guys know how actual users are referring to those things.

box-shadow on Chrome used an incorrect blur radius until about five years ago. Then they finally fixed it.

It is quite bad, but not that long ago the blur of css box-shadow was different between browsers, too. I wrote a little workaround that rendered a blurred rectangle on a canvas and then picked the alpha value at a certain point to calculate

My parents rented land on which there was a smaller oil rig. The rig was eventually removed and now the land is used for farming. OTOH I cannot image how they want to do this with the conrete foundations of wind turbines. The newer ones are

In Japanese there are two words for some numbers. For example number 4 is yon or shi and for 7 it is shichi or nana. For announcements on train platforms they do not use shichi, because it sounds like "ichi", which is the word for

I do not understand why IKEA makes it so hard to attach a FÖRNUFTIG purifier to a wall or under a table. I bought one to attach it under my son's room table, which fit perfectly, but putting four screw holes into the FÖRNUFTIG was a pa

I think if the challenges are just at the right level and the work is interesting to you, you can work almost as long as you want. But if the difficulty level is too high and you feel no sxcitement, it becomes stressful and and eventually y

I think it is perfectly fine as long as it is a deliberate decision. But lines are blurry between deliberate decisions and just trying to push back the next difficult step.

This describes my behavior very well, and I needed this post to understand what I am doing. Thanks.

I sometimes ask my son to come to my computer and try to explain what I am trying to solve. He is in high school and understands the basic idea of what I am explaining to him. Usually, while explaining, I find the solution.

I like to looks at problems that I am stuck on before sleep. Although I do not feel that I am thinking about them before falling asleep or while sleeping, it seems that I can solve them much easier the next time I look at them.

Yes. Actually, my son is currently applying for a job in that region. Havin said that, Asse is not really a great location for long term storage and it is the correct decision to shut it down.

That's what I am often wondering about. A large part of Germans have developed a completly exaggerated fear of nuclear energy, acting almost like cult or if they are in a mass delusion. One example: When I say to some of my friends tha

You know, if parts of your country are as south as the Sahara desert, it just makes a lot of sense to install solar. Just like solar makes a lot more sense in the US than in Germany, which is more to the north than all parts of the US excep

Reading this as a German feels really bitter. Our government has cancelled ALL research into nuclear reactors. We are completely out of the race, and there is probably no way back.

You sound like a version of me with deeper pockets. We have a Volkswagen eUp! as an EV, which is a lot of fun to drive and does all the inner city commute. Then I have a station wagon that I bought for 15000€ in almost new condition, which
