Preventive care is absolutely the most important to keep the society healthy and moving forward. Currently people just give up on contacting their surgeries, letting their symptoms develop into something potentially more dangerous. Then the

I use AKAI MPK Mini Mk3. It's okay, the key action is quite good for the price. The X/Y joystick is annoying though. But I still prefer its action to Arturia's or NI's. They feel very rubbery. The best compact (albeit ex

Well, I use Manjaro. Does it count as insufferable too?

Yep, this smells of "scheiß egal".

Not using GDB much but I definitely love ipdb (for Python). It's more natural to me now than any IDE's UI.

To me, it would be a true paradise, if it was feasible to rent a (whole) flat as a foreigner.

This sounds very familiar to a person from an ex-Warsaw-Pact state. My family told me similar stories about our communist times, when I was growing up. People just got by with stealing and hustling.

That's a weird prejudice. I understand if it was about dogs, but there's plenty of reasons not to like cats.

Still a big issue in Berlin.

Living in England, I don't even dream about having free travel. But having very affordable local trains and buses would be good enough. And it's quite feasible too.

There's one ironic thing with JUCE. Everything written with it is by design cross-platform. Despite that synth companies refuse to ship Linux versions. And JUCE plugins/apps work quite badly under Wine Looking at you MODAL Electro

It returned in the 80's. Many people were "disappeared". A few members of my family were interned. One was brutally beaten and tortured and never recovered from it.

Very good recommendation. I was taken to this movie by my (secondary school, I believe) teacher. It really moved me, although I don't agree with suggestion that movie is making: staying neutral is the worst choice you can make. Especia

Well, the god then answers: Oh Moshe, oh dear Moshe. Have you considered at least buying a lottery ticket?

Luton is not that important. If Heathrow or Gatwick melted, there'd be riots.

I think most popular jokes in my country (Poland) are the ones comparing Poles, Russians and Germans. We probably wouldn't risk joking about your folk.

I see a lot of these disposable e-cigarettes here in England. Usually discarded around big parks in the centre. I did consider picking them up to reuse before.

Well, there's a lot of MIDI controllers that can approximate that. I use AKAI MPK Mini for example. There's even some dedicated MIDI controllers that look a bit like miniature hardware synth, but they're not worth it, in my o

I don't think Chinese Buddhists seem to care.

I always find it weird how western "promoters" of Buddhism are so gung-ho on the meditation part, pretty much disregarding everything else. Having met quite a few Buddhists (also my partner) who were raised by Buddhist parents, I&
