Interesting facts about pirates?
  • So imagine you're working for a real slave driver

    And at least in most of the nations' navies, your life as a grunt was pretty much like that. Dragged into service by press gangs and treated like shit.

  • It has been a good day so far. After wasting away the last few days I finally went out to take a shower, walk the two kilometres into town for groceries, took a swim and did some cleaning.

    Today's interesting event: watching the supply ship being towed out of the harbour, with a delivery van and a small car sitting on top of the containers.

    weather app
  • Windy.com

    Probably with UKV as the main forecast model to check. Should definitely compare the other models as well to get a clearer picture of what to expect.

    Android: Liftoff loses open state too quickly
  • Yep. While reading this I opened the camera to take one picture, came right back and Liftoff was back at the top of the feed...

    How do you fight the temptation to not look at your phone or other electronic devices after going to bed?
  • If turning it off or leaving it in another room isn't an option, you could let a podcast lull you to sleep.

    I like to listen to The Unbelievable Truth for example. Relatively quiet, not demanding enough focus to keep you awake, but requires some attention so that if you're doing something else on your phone you're going miss what's going on.
    Usually takes me a couple of nights to get through one ~20min episode.

    Mit welchem Verkehrsmittel reist ihr am liebsten?
  • Für mich ganz klar ein Segelboot.

    Die Nähe zur Natur, frische Luft. Es gibt immer was zu sehen: Küsten, andere Boote, die Wellen und Wolken, Vögel, Delfine... Und während man sowohl intellektuell als auch physisch gefordert ist, sorgt es für eine unvergleichliche Entspannung. Mein Essen bringt mir keiner, aber ich kann Kochen während das Boot mich stetig weiter zum nächsten Ziel bringt, lesen oder dösen wenn die Gegebenheiten passen.
