You need headphones, I read a lot faster than they speak and they are a lot more expensive. The only time I listen to audio books is when traveling by car. Which I only do every couple of months.

I mean, nobody is forcing anyone to see any of this. I haven’t even seen the movie. I might. I might not. It’s up to me.

Yes.

Ich trage meine Pauli Hoodies gerne.

Ich würde so gerne zu Bookwyrm wechseln, aber der Import von Goodreads funktioniert nie richtig und mehr als die Hälfte meiner Bücher werden nicht gefunden. Früher hätte ich ja mitgeholfen und die fehlenden Bücher hinzugefügt. Aber dafür habe ich heute weder Zeit noch Energie. Und so bleibe ich an Amazon gefesselt.

If you cannot pay for it, you don’t deserve it. The basic tenet of capitalism.

Ich mag diesen Film sehr. Einer der Fälle, in denen der Film deutlich besser ist als das Buch.

Uh, no, thanks. There are plenty of people to celebrate. Barbaric cunts like Mao are not among them.

With modern LED lights I read that it might be better to just keep them on because heat cycling reduces their lifespan, forcing you to replace them and thus costing more money than the electricity would cost.

One more CoC and we probably get the CoCoC.

Ich bin ausm Norden und habe Kartoffelsalat immer gehasst, weil ich Mayonnaise eklig finde. Dann habe ich Wiener Kartoffelsalat kennen und lieben gelernt. Den gibt es jetzt an Heiligabend immer bei uns, weil meine Kinder mir zustimmen.

The dash is in the wrong place. The title of the painting is “Ahasuerus at the End of the World” and the name of the artist is Adolf Hirémy-Hirschl (1860–1933).

Apparently there is some confusion about a solar day and a sidereal day. Wikipedia gives these numbers:

[A] Venusian day is 116.75 Earth days long, about half a Venusian solar year, which is 224.7 Earth days long.

That, of course, confused me. Further research showed that 116 days is a solar day, when the sun is at the same place in the sky again. But a sidereal day, when the planet completed a rotation on its axis, is indeed 243 Earth days.

Haute means high.

Kentucky, yeah.

Please don’t fuck a corpse.
