I just had a visit from a representative of Deutsche Telekom who offered me a better internet connection. When I told him that my current connection is more than twice as fast as the best his company has to offer for much more money, he left pretty quickly. It's nice that he acknowledges reality, his company should do the same. Fibre optic symbol image from Pixabay.
@Cryptozeug in July 2022
In October, @MarSou sent me chillies and I soaked them in oil. I sent her seeds in return, chilies and other plants. I hope they thrive, even though it's so dry. Why am I rehashing this old story? Because I just made myself scrambled eggs and seasoned them with said oil. Again, I tasted all the power of Portugal. My mouth is still burning. Because this exchange was an interaction that started here and still makes me smile and I will think about it often while eating. Because…
The Giant Ferris Wheel is coming to town. Or is it already being dismantled again? I have no idea. It's usually there suddenly, without you noticing it's being built. This time I had the rare opportunity to take a few photos of the construction.
I've been watching the crypto fun for a few years now. And for me, too, this is one of the deepest valleys since then. But only if you think in $. Only if you think in the short term. Although I can be a very temperamental person, I am now completely relaxed, like my Buddha buddy. He's always smiling, even if I forget him in the box in the closet for a few years.
This is fun.
It's World Kissing Day. I kissed a practice doll, better than nothing. Actually, it was mouth-to-mouth resuscitation training. But you take what you can get. 2-year first aid course: check!
Friend A gives friend B 4 eggs. 3 days later, Friend B gives Friend A back 6 eggs and 2 bottles of beer. What has friend B gained?
Oops, it's Thursday again. And you know what that means. It's #free #PC #games time again at Epic Games. This week we're giving you free games. - Killing Floor 2 If you like to slaughter epic hordes of monsters (zeds), this is the game for you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpH8oghfsT8 - Ancient Enemy Here, too, the forces of evil are fought, but as a card game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aXc0A9ZzWyo As always, I hope you have fun with it!
I have no idea which trainee worked that out but I'm not going to complain. Almost 36 #BAT for not having to see any advertising. I can think of worse things.
I rarely have to smile when I'm on the motorway. But today I had a reason to do so in a traffic jam. I don't think this licence plate is randomly labelled like this. Quite a powerful statement for the owner of a Lambo. #PEACE2AL
You know, when you have nothing to say, you should just shut up. That's how I've been feeling lately. My brain is running on empty, I'm not experiencing anything worth mentioning and I'm ready for a holiday. But that will have to wait a while. Besides, the motivation here leaves a lot to be desired. So that this post is not completely pointless, here is a little cat content. Fat Berta came to visit again.
$1=1€ Finally, the conversion becomes easier.
I would like to respond to some of your answers. But I would also like to give you something in return. Since there is nothing to give at the moment, the answers will also take some time. Now you could say: Just answer! But no, that's not my way of making noise. Communication and pocket money have always belonged together here. When one grows, the other grows too, and vice versa. I know there are other views on this, but this is mine and it will remain that way.
The game kind of reminds me of my youth, and it may well be able to offer time travel. The description reads like this. Today's #free #PC #game at Epic Games is: - Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap With beautiful hand-drawn animations and re-orchestrated soundscape, the cult classic returns - a unique mix of exploration, action and adventure! Trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NqWbyN33Qxc As always, have fun!
Error: Region not supported Unfortunately, your Brave Rewards cannot be verified as your region is not currently supported for Brave Rewards verification. Ok, so Brave or Uphold or whatever no longer support my region. I'm glad I moved almost all my BAT earnings to safety as BCH a few days ago.
Regarding my last post, it seems that Brave users in my region (and presumably many others) can now no longer transfer their earnings directly to Uphold. I think there remains the workaround of rewarding one's own content (with 5% fee), e.g. on twitter, and then withdrawing it via uphold. Back to the roots... Here is a list of all countries where a direct connection is still possible. Pretty disappointing in a free, open world.
Toys x noise
Seriously? This wasp is stealing a spider's prey. It landed very carefully on the spider's web and started to cut the spider's already wrapped prey (fly?) out of the web to take it away. I'm really VERY old, but I've never experienced anything like that before.
Despite the enormous heat, animals have brightened up my working day again today. The butterfly bush has its name rightly. There were at least 20 butterflies on the move. Funny to stand in the middle and have them all around you. Meanwhile, the spider is repairing its web after the wasp's raid yesterday. She seemed in a bad mood and threatened me. And of course many greetings from Fat Berta. Apparently it was too warm for her too.
Ticket: check! C-Test: check! Excitement: check! I am really a bit excited. In a few hours, the first cultural event I will attend since the beginning of the pandemic will start. A famous singer-songwriter will do the honours. So I won't be there for you today, but if it happens, I'll show you some photos of the concert tomorrow.
With all the excitement I almost forgot that there is a new #free #PC #game today. If, contrary to expectations, you're in the mood for war (simulation), Epic Games is offering the following for free from today: - Tannenberg (Action, Shooter, Co-op, Multiplayer, Singleplayer) "Tannenberg brings to life gigantic battles on the Eastern Front of World War I, with 64 players vying for control of key areas on the battlefield, each offering its own strategic advantage. The war…
A great evening last night, culture again at last. Singer-songwriter Götz Widmann was visiting the city and of course you can't miss that. Those who know him will know why. Both the artist and the audience were deeply relaxed, the concert area was a little island of freedom. Sand, a stage, a great artist, a bar. That's all you need for a successful evening. We enjoyed it very much and of course we exaggerated a bit. That's why it was pretty quiet here today....
Damn, that was close... Good morning noisers!
What a quiet weekend on my side. I used it to visit my parents and set up a new tablet. No photos this time, it was enough screen time. Enjoy the rest of Sunday, that's what I'm doing now.
Find the bug!

In case you're wondering why I sometimes write English like a German who learned English once but hasn't practised it much since, and sometimes write relatively perfect British English that even the Queen would be amused... I use the DeepL translator because the results are simply better than anywhere else. I admit that I usually remove the automatic reference to the translation in order not to risk a spam message, so I like to point out the tool voluntarily from time to…
Even though I'm less and less interested in football and have no interest in national teams, I'm currently watching the semi-final of the Women's European Championship. Quite entertaining, just not for the French at the moment.
Another week is over and again there is a #free #PC #game at Epic Games. And once again I'm surprised what people can come up with. - Lawn Mowing Simulator Yes, you read correctly. Another simulator for people who don't have enough work. I won't comment on it today, I think you can judge if you need such valuable games. I don't need it but I got it anyway. As always, have fun!
When I'm old, all I'll do is nag. That will be fun. Wenn ich alt bin, werde ich nur nörgeln. Das wird lustig. Find of the day in an art garden.
Converted my Coinbase earn collection to Tezos and sent it to safe haven. After all the debacles lately, I prefer to have the keys myself, even if the timing for the conversion was perhaps not the best.
There are probably nicer things to do on a Friday than go to a funeral. But when a good friend starts his last journey, you just have to be there. Accordingly, my mood is limited today. I'll get back to you at the weekend, but I have to be quiet and think today.
What shall we do with the drunken hornet? Apparently beer is not just for humans, this hornet also wanted its share yesterday. She drank too much and couldn't get out of the glass on her own. So I set her free. To thank me, she came back and tried to kiss me, but I managed to avoid it. Neither animals nor humans were harmed in this shot.
The whole universe in a flower. I am always fascinated by the colours and shapes that nature or breeders produce. In this case, a glimpse of the night sky is hidden in the flowers, and in the middle of the day.
