Why would be the language death bad. Imho, from practical point of view it doesn't make sense to have multiple languages, or?

Many people do. And even if they don't, charing a car every day if you don't have a charger at home or office will be very painful. Imagine that you have to tank theICE car every day, even this would have been irritating.

Recently I'have seen Netflix trailer of Three Body Problem https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lj99Uz1d50 and got really excited Haven't heard about that novel so I've started reading it. It's soooo great, I'm already mid "Deaths End" :D While searching stuff on Redding/YT i found about Tencent version. Started watching it, but it is too slow for me.

Today I found a link to this shortened version on Reddit, hopefully easier to digest :D

Someone asked that in my company. Answer was: you signed the contract in the past, before the covid, and you were coming to the office, and the commute time was included in the compensation. So there will be no increases. I guess you could use this card when applying for new job. But honestly, I would rather stay home and earn lesser than agree to coming to the office for additional hourly pay, covering commute time.

Sure, but again. People are buying it because Dacias are the cheapest, and there is nothing cheaper besides some Chinese brands, which have questionable quality, and are not available on very market. My dad has Sandero. He bought it because he cannot afford any other new vehicle. If he could, he would have bought Kia X-ceed, or Toyota Yaris X-Cross or something similar.

Not completely. Adaptive cruise control is becoming more common. Some Toyota's have it in all versions for some models. Mercedes A class you have to pay additionally for the basic models.

Because it is so great, or because this is the last decent car which is 10k euro, and people cannot afford for example VW Polo?

I have the same if it's too late, or too long. So 15-20 min, max till 3:30pm work for me. Did you try that?

Yeah. That's why working from home is soooo good. How many times in the past there were days I was struggling and feeling sleepy/tired in the office, sitting there, not being productive. Now, when something like this happens, 15 minutes nap/lying in bed helps to recharge batteries for the rest of the day.

I got ASUS ZenScreen MB16AH.

Choosing one it's a bit confusing, Asus offers many models, and hard to understand the difference. There are some which have separate display port and power. Different covers. With a battery etc. I really wanted just one having only one cable.

On Amazon there are some other less/not known brands, offering bigger screens, but I felt more convinced by the mainstream brand.

Remember that your laptop has to support this. I tested it with an older MacBook Pro, and Lenovo ThinkPad. On my old Ideapad I don't have such port.

When I',m flying to UK I always wonder if there are so many first timers, or people are so ignorant.

In Germany I never seen so many people have to open the bags after the scan, and have them re-scanned.

at Munich airport, at one of terminals they have new devices. You have to leave everything inside. Laptop, water etc. You just have to remove items from your pockets, belt. So much faster.

My worst experience was in UK, multiple times, at Manchester airport. So much drama there.

Portable screen. Didn't know that such exists, till about few weeks ago. Have a small apartment and sometimes have to work at the dining table. Using a big screen is not an option.

Portable screen is light, size of the laptop and charges/sends data through one cable. Perfect!
