I’m late to the game but allow me to post this photo of my cat.

Making plans for New Year’s Eve and I want to charter a train wagon…

“Words you use just once in your life. Which ones?”

@hellomiakoda Nope, not with you indeed.

@hellomiakoda Yes indeed. Currently I’m using the mini media card with everything on ‘hide’, but the shadow remains. I should try the Markdiwn trick later today.

@hellomiakoda I’ll try that, thanks for the swift reply!

@hellomiakoda Yes! I’m doing exactly that! Grand, isn’t it!

I gave a question though: (how) did you get rid of the grey/shadow on the bottom of the art?

Most cities need radically more bikes, benches and trees.

Why?

Using GPS in the year 1565

There’s a wonderful web app (“Allmaps Here”) that shows your GPS location on old maps. I love it.

@kaia That’s quite the contrast, compared to the rigourous approach of our German friends on allowing and disallowing the use of that “Dr.” title, up until the inclusion on their identity cards.

Gestemd! 🗳️

@kaia @asa I think it's more like 30 million instead of 30 percent (and even 30 million is a serious overestimate, and already includes all Christians, not just Catholics).

Toilets that signal *what* the infrastructure is, rather than *who* can enter.

@kaia I made my own “GPT” to give image descriptions fast and rather accurate.

I want this inscription at my front door.

When the nights are long, take time to think about those friendships that mattered. And therefore still matter.

Reach out. Write letters. Even after all those years. Especially after all those years.
