Just stop!

But what helped me: often smoking is part of a daily routine or ritual, so mix up your routine. Take up a new hobby or take the bus instead of the car. Go for a walk after lunch. Giving up smoking is a big change, so don’t be afraid to make big changes. Get new clothes. Make new friends. You have discarded your old identity as a smoker. Still smoking? Doesn’t matter! You already want to stop - you’re becoming that person already.

And don’t be so hard on yourself if you have a smoke now and then. Be conscious of what situation or routine triggered the reflex, and change it in future. If you have a smoke every few days or weeks, don’t sweat it, you’ve broken addiction as far as I’m concerned!

Actually, there is a company that makes resin printed children’s glasses for about €200 a pop. My son tried them at the opticians and I was impressed by the finish and flexibility. Just to say that 3d printed glasses are really commercially viable.

Dumbledore!

It’s so depressing. Recently there was a scandal that some members of the AfD met to discuss forced deportation of German of foreign descent. 1939 Nazi-level stuff.

Many demonstrations followed and the quiet majority thought that was the end of it. But all those followers just lapped up that remigration-cool-aid like it was nothing. A mass stabbing incident shortly before the vote didn’t help either.

And everyone knows that they’re Nazis being funded by Russia and nobody cares. The public with half a brain is teetering between not taking them seriously and being paralyzed by shock.

Got it, so I should be safe if I print it in PETG. Thanks!

I’m not an expert on missiles, but this image made me wonder

That looks like a spline with a groove for ball bearings. OK, maybe the explosion forcibly removed all ball bearings but one, but the real question is: shouldn’t that better be lubricated and not all rusted?

Ukrainians are dying daily and have been for 2 years…

You mean since 10 years, when Russia invaded Crimea.

The roof is on fire

Habe mich gefragt, welche Argumente die Nimbys dagegen hatten. Ein Rückhaltebecken mit ein paar Deiche fügt sich doch wunderbar in die Landschaft ein. Und gemessen an den potentiellen Schaden ist der Aufwand peanuts.

Brisant ist nicht nur, dass im Vertrag kein stichhaltiger Grund dafür angegeben wird. Die Verhandler warteten noch nicht einmal Gutachten zu möglichen positiven und negativen Folgen an den konkreten Standorten ab

Ei, na dann.

Abgesehen vom Eingriff in die Natur fürchten Anwohner, dass im Falle einer Flutung der Grundwasserspiegel steigen und in ihrem Haus dann das Wasser stehen könnte.

Aha. Hochwasser geht klar, aber bloss nicht zu nah an meinem Garten?

Soweit ich weiss dürfen die nicht in den Abfluss, weil sie gerne mit anderen Dinge verklumpen. Stichwort Fettberg.

Russia’s reaction will be extremely interesting. I read somewhere that they said that an attack on their early warning systems will be countered with nuclear force.

I’d like to know how many of the poor souls on the frontline aren’t Russian but Indians, Syrians, etc… that got shanghaied into service.

How do they fly without the recoil flipping them over?

After I printed a thing I was able to reconnect wireless about five-six hours later.

Thanks for all your suggestions! My working theory is that either the electronics are dying or a connectivity issue, that the device is trying to connect to an update server or whatever.

The former would be a poor show for a device with just 500h of usage, and the latter would be really really bad programming. Either way, it’s a problem with a relatively easy workaround!

This whole thing is just bizarre.

Is that tank flying the flag of the EU?

Wow if it’s really that high, then organizing an attack with 10 drones is extremely impressive!

I’d have hoped that the lag would be lower, because Starlink has a lower orbit than geosync satellites. My hunch would’ve been 100ms one way, for a complete round-trip delay of 0.5s at most.

Da war ich wohl zu vage - ich meinte nicht Ostdeutschland, sondern Russland.
