I really like my wrist watch (Casio PRG 70). It's solar powered and its batteries don't need to be replaced. However in the last year I didn't go much outside, so it went flat for the first time. I quickly charged it with my daylight lamp however functions like light and barometer and compass need more juice. Too bad that it's cloudy. I need to make (or 3D print) a small wrist watch holder so it is properly propped up at the window to catch as much sunlight as possible.

@scribus Yeah. It didn't bode when It was said that water pushed through the wall from the outside. There was a new isolating sheet installed but my suspicion alarm went off hard. There was only one side fixed and my fear was that the other sides were ticking time bombs.

I was viewing a house for purchase but as I stepped in it was worse and worse the further it got. The seller wanted almost 300000€ but the stuff to repair and renovate can be summed up to 100000€ with ease. It looked OK fine from the outside but inside the house showed every bit of horror. The rooms have cracks in the wall. The cellar reeks of oil and had water damage (apparently fixed but I don't believe it's over). The windows are leaky. The thermal isolation has to be improved all around. It needs a new heater in 10 years.

It's amazing that the "best" graphics cards available in my local PC shop are a nVidia GTX 1030 and a GTX 760.

In Germany there was a "solidarity tax" introduced right after the unification of West and East Germany. About 5% less taxes!!!

@scribus It made attempts to be "fun", however I wasn't a big fan of the way it tried to present it. I got a huge character whiplash from Billy Batson in his normal and hero form. I've never had the feeling they were the same character. I can commend the jokes but they were not much of a hit for me.

Watched Shazam! yesterday on Netflix for the first time. It was... fine I guess. It didn't blew me away. Still a ton better than the other DC dumpster fires.

I have still a 5 Pfennig coin (0.05 DM) in my wallet. I found the coin 10 years ago somewhere on the ground, 8 years after the public introduction of the Euro. It's not a lucky charm or something like that. I keep it mostly for nostalgic reasons.

This is the most interesting read this year as the vaccine is compared to a biological hacking attempt, like a computer. https://berthub.eu/articles/posts/reverse-engineering-source-code-of-the-biontech-pfizer-vaccine/

@thismightbeauser I'm sorry I got it mixed up in my head. This time there are free trade zone negotiations that are about to expire. I mean that's the last thing related to the Brexit disaster.

@scribus The UK wanted a Brexit......... Didn't they? COVID delivered it in a different way earlier as a premature Christmas miracle.

The cyberpunk æsthetic is ruined for the next 15 years. Would have been ruined regardless of the success of Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077. More like Cyberstunk 2020.

@oracle My title is "Lead Developer". It sounds way more impressive than I feel it represents my ability to actually lead.

@thismightbeauser Neither do I. It just appeared today.

Hilda Season 2 came out of nowhere.

@scribus you're dann right. It's like smashing the head against an impenetrable and indestructible wall.

The most frustrating thing in the world is not being trusted despite the evidence, the adversary lying, and the controlling entity effectively doing nothing.

I've wasted 5 hours trying to engrave something in aluminium.

I flubbed DMing my D&D adventure. It went too complicated very fast and the party behaved more competent than expected and thus blowing up what I've prepared. A party member uses "Detect Magic" constantly and some high rolls on "Dispell Magic" as well a teleport with "Word of Recall" neutered a very hard encounter to a piece of cake. Also I failed to recover and put the prepared content differently.

@scribus I'm not trying. My brain is just weird suggestions. It'd be fun to create a video like that but I'm hopelessly exhausted. You can use that idea if you like with no need to credit.

I had the randomnest thought: The song "Mana-Mana" but with word "Aluminum".

Twitter is aggravating. The crop-and-zoom of photos on the main timeline is the worst. I've barely seen an instance it worked.

I have a timer applet on my Linux laptop. The only two timer presets I have are "Tea" (5 min) and "Pizza" (15 min).

@scribus Yeah! Seriously! We haven't seen any stars battling each other. Sun vs sun. White Dwarf vs Red Giant. FIGHT!
