Recommend checking out the Deutsche Technik Museum when in Munich.

Such is my cynical view of the state of the world, that I cannot automatically cheer for this without checking, because I know that leader of the AfD, Alice Weidel, is also openly gay, married to an immigrant, and still wants Christian nationalism and the removal of all immigrants. Strange times.

Feeling fairly fortunate to have the opportunities I do. On this occasion,I was pretty darn lucky to have been invited to share a friend's table at Oktoberfest (Hacker tent) in Munich yesterday. His family has had the table for the last 20 years, so he knows everyone really well. Fun times.

Ludwigslust was nice to visit. Lots of FCK AFD stickers everywhere:-) Oh... I can drive again after 3 months. Happy the medical precautions are there post medical incident, but it was darn annoying to not be able to answer my pager and take out the Feuerwehr boat to rescue people.

Fine... Now reading "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman. I was just getting into "The Expanse" series, but need to study up on some decision making concepts for my upcoming Voice Agentic AI panel discussion October 6th at Parloa Wave in front of a 1000 people. Should be fun.

These pictures are from Otternforf, a few towns over from me here in northern Germany. It is a pretty town, and I do enjoy wandering around. Spending some time having a coffee after getting my hair cut, so will I look a bit less scruffy for an upcoming work event.

Ok... my statement was not exactly accurate the Left do not control 15 states, and the CDU in theory still holds the majority control in most German states, but they are in coalition with the Left in those states and not able to maintain control on their own in any state.

OnThisDay in 1963, a bomb planted by the Ku Klux Klan ripped through the 16th Street Baptist Church, in Birmingham, Alabama, killing 4 little girls—11-year-old Carol Denise McNair, and 14-year-olds Carole Robertson, Cynthia Diane Wesley and Addie Mae Collins.

I laughed twice today. Either people are getting funnier, or I must be pretty stressed out today and my mind is searching for a pressure release.

WWII, the RNLI routinely launched into hazardous waters to rescue downed German pilots, strictly upholding their mission to save lives at sea regardless of nation or cause. Between 1939-45, RNLI crews saved over 6,300 lives, including hundreds of enemy airmen and sailors. Humanity always came first

Looking through American politicians speeches on 911, from both sides, and it should be noted that there was no mention of Canada's actions on that day to support our "friend" and "neighbour" in their hour of need. We as Canadians, would do well to remember this as well.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow roman candles..." ― Jack Kerouac
I am very fortunate to have the friends I do. I had a conversation with my children, after watching Indiana Jones, about the benefits of having friends all over the world from all walks of life. It is a conscious choice to surround oneself with remarkable, interesting, and inspirational people, and it a rewarding one. Thank you all, you are appreciated.

I am on the side of saving lives without asking for someone's passport first. Lifeboat volunteers charge into Force 10 weather in a 3 meter boat, while these cowards in black are constantly afraid of everyone.

Stolen valour a few days ago and now lying about this? I was at ground zero while they still picking up the pieces and it was a very emotional experience that has stuck with me ever since, and I can not begin understand how an American would support a President who would make up such a story.

The far-right are actually hypocrites and it is just rich people manipulating poor people (and to be frank... Idiots) to get richer. 30% of people think the Earth is flat, and will believe whatever they are told, so getting another 14% by spending a few hundred million is really nothing amazing

Running the Biscuit firmware on my Xteink X4 and really liking it. Pretty much does everything I would want it to do. If I wanted to do more then I would just get the M5 Stack S3 Paper. The main thing is that it keeps me offline, not looking at my phone, and reading books instead.

I want to note that this is still a thing in Germany. Which was actually pretty culturally shocking for me as a western Canadian living here.

I have a theory that the only reason Goldfinger is interested in Venezuela's oil, is that he thinks the term Black Gold is literal.

Second attempt at 3D printing my Sky Hawk. This time it turned out much better. Although the matte black does make it look more Cobra like.

I am guessing there are many people who might not have seen a Vampyre apple. They are tasty for making Apple pie. Happy to have the tree in my back garden and that it is doing well enough now that I am getting a good number of Apples from it.
