When I am no longer fit for walking or cycle 1km, I also won't be fit to drive, or to be at the pub at all. This is what I meant.
But yeah, that's me, I guess others are different.

Happy today because shorty´s car got a new TÜV!!!!! The car was actually purchased in 2019 by and for my boyfriends Father, at a price of less than €1000, and only intended for him to use to get to the local pub and back ( a round trip of less than 1 km!) Well, the car is still up and going , six y...

Today I'm not happy because I am preparing for the colonoscopy tomorrow. It means I am fasting - and dying of it - and drinking a disgusting substance. I normally eat 5 times every day, and I eat more than anyone. I never fasted, and I expected it to be hard. And it is hard. It' only 16:30, last fo...

This is all a bit subjective Look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_quality_of_life_indices Yes, very subjective. I looked at it very briefly and I find something strange: A) almost all cities are in Europe. B) all cities are in the West (plus Japan). C) I read many times that people in poor co...

Happy today because it's already May, and this year, 2025, I have yet to add petrol to my car

Plus, gorgeous sunshine and spent few hours MTBiking in the lovely forest on our doorstep.
Afternoon a nap, family walk, and tidying the garden. If time, also jogging, but no time....

I remember our UK rental agent told us long ago it is not rare for applicants to negotiate on the price (mind you, we changed several different in the last 12yr and nobody ever negotiated on the price). I would not find odd the tenants trying to lower the price BEFORE signing, but I do find it stran...

Good question.
I didn't check it up, but the hygienist yesterday told me there is zero waiting time.

Just curious. Do you guys have it? I really have bad luck when it comes to dental health. Already spent fortunes since childhood. Now at age 51 going for implants #3 and #4. Yesterday at the hygienist I was suggested to take dental insurance. It seems a good deal: 16.9 eur/month. Already with only 2...

Devastated Last night I realised many (most?) of my small tomato plants I bought and put outside, in the greenhouse, died. Indeed there's been frosts, but I thought inside the greenhouse, close, they were fine. And if that wasn't bad enough, last night I even forgot the greenhouse flap open, and ag...

Look at the bright side.
All other countries have now extra incentives to lower trade barriers among themselves.

My wife teaches remotely students in other parts of the world.
Some change time summer/winter when we do.
Some don't change it.
Some change it, but on a different weekend.
Compound to the different time zones, there's always some confusion and some meetings get missed.

Just to add: mate of mine told me when he needed 2 dental implants he got several quotations here in Hamburg, all near 5k. Eventually he went somewhere else in the middle of nowhere (still Germany) to a random no-name guy his wife knew. This must have been few years ago. Job done for 700eur. I would...

You can trust my recommendations!
Jameda? Not sure...

Ditto dentist, but that need not be so central. General dentist: Hansekrone, in Bahrenfeld, near DESY: https://www.hansekrone-hamburg.de/ I've been going there regularly over several years and I find them extremely professional. They also speak better than enough English. And if you need a Kieforth...

But what I'd love to understand, is why does he do this?
I'd be tempted to say he's just stupid. But I don't think he is, stupid. Evil yes, not stupid.

I would love to understand the psychology driving him. There is a field of study called "Game theory". It is the study of mathematical models of strategic interactions. There are zero-sum games and non-zero-sum games . The psychology driving him is seeing every relation as a zero-sum-game...
