I would use emacs in a blink of an eye. It is such an incredible and powerful software. Unfortunately it lacks a decent editor.

Is nm the official abbreviation for nautical miles? I assume it is natural miles. For me it is nanometers.

Interesting. Tell me more. The stock looks wild. Time to go short?

Just getting celiac disease would counter iron intake :-)

I remember a paper long time ago that claimed that one reason why women have higher life spans than men is lower iron content in their blood due to menstruation.

"I go to campsites and wilderness areas where dogs are allowed off leash." In the US?

I move with my golden retriever back to the states. Should someone have a dog friendly place to rent in NJ close to NYC, Hoboken....

I think at one point they consired a gouche of 10 meters (about 10 yards?). They wanted to transport ships by train

Well. They run. Compare to public transport in the US. They have Internet on board. Not always, often slow, but they have it. They have bullet trains and you can use all slow trains as much as you want for 49 euros a month.

Sure, China is better, cheaper. At my time without wifi, maybe this has changed. But compared to most countries DB is pretty good. I love trains.

DB is better than it's reputation. What is really amazing is German postal service. Contrary to some reports it is reliable. And they do understand how to work digital.

Compare with Belgium. For many years it ranked below moldovia in the world postal reliability report. Delivery is unreliable, many packages disappear. During COVID I wanted to buy stamps. In Germany you just print the stamps. No printer? Just use a pen and write a code on the letter. In Belgium they offered to send me stamps by postal mail. After I lost many packages and one was going back already to the US (address cant be found) I wrote a real nasty email to the Belgian minister in charge of the post office. They actually rerouted my us package back and were able to deliver it :-). The postman got a nasty talk with his both for forging my signature for packages he just put in front of the door and that goes stolen. 500 dollar loss...
