I am surprised no one mentioned Decoder (1984). Starring W.S.Burroughs, Gen P. Orridge and Christiane F. of bahnhof zoo. One of there best underground movies ever made.

Haha I remember these, the best one is where soldiers dress up as devils and eat "babies" made of dough to intimidate their enemies.

Not sure if best, but:

  • cleaning the kitchen in the evening. I listen to podcasts or music while doing it, and the mornings are easier as I don't have to confront mountains of dirty dishes.
  • reading - I try to dedicate at least one hour a day and read a book. I guess with general decline of the content on the Internet it got much easier to go offline.
  • meditation and relaxation techniques - I started doing this as a teenager and thanks to hours I've put in I have no problems falling asleep. Even when I am high on caffeine I can relax my body during the night and wake in the morning not feeling like a zombie.

Mapy.cz are the best maps available on desktop and android. They use OSM as a source. There is some tracking but in this case it's worth the hassle.

Yet there if always mountains of money for ridiculous projects like superexpensive highways in the city or car subsidies. But building new affordable housing is always refused with an absurd excuse like "we don't want to distort free market principles".

In Germany they just always censor shotgun seat with a black rectangle. Precisely because of the same issue, someone's wife got hold of photo taken by the speed camera, with the husband and another woman on it, the guy sued and won privacy infringement claim.

In Berlin, in 2004, a letfist local newspaper Taz initiated a move to rename part of a street their office is located at in remembrance of Rudi-Dutschke. He was a prominent socialist activist in the 60s, even survived assassination but unfortunately died a couple of years later.

Another newspaper, Axel-Springer has their headquarters on the same street. The same company did play significant role in dissing the student movement Rudi-Dutschke was part of and some believe they are indirectly responsible for the assassination.

What ensued was a long legal battle, where the court had to decide whether the street could be renamed. Taz won the court case and in 2008 the street got its new name.

In 2009, Taz installed a sculpture displaying well-known editors of Bild (owned by Axel Springer), the most sold tabloid in Europe. Their chief editor Kai Diekmann (sic) sports an oversized dick that goes up to the roof of the building. Of course Bild tried to sue, but they lost and the sculpture is there to be enjoyed to this day.

In Germany, you can have fun, but it must be blessed by the court.

Take some leftover rice from yesterday, or prepare some by steaming.

Heat a pan, drop a tablespoon of oil in. Fry any form of fresh garlic and ginger in it. Throw in the rice. Stir, mix, fry.

Then mix the soy sauce into the rice, mix. Start with smaller amount, you can add more later. Crack an egg or two and pour them in. Mix for a while until the eggs cook.

Top with a spring onion, Lao gan ma chilli crisp, sesame oil, sesame. Serve.

Most of the ingredients in the recipe are optional, you really just need the rice, soy sauce and eggs.

If you like porridges, try making some congee, it is easier if you have a rice cooker. The rest of the recipe is almost the same as with the fried rice above.

I wholly recommend Slavoj Zizek's take on the 1st part of the 9th and its appropriation by different dictatorships and ideologies.

There are better songs if you want to bash fashs.

In Czech Republic & Slovakia it is usually a towel to sit on & being naked. Optionally you can wrap yourself in a larger towel or something like that. Most people respect it, but I did experience one woman being told to not wear swimming suit or leave the sauna area.

How is it in Denmark? I've seen beautiful saunas there, where you just jump to the sea to cool down. I NEED TO KNOW!

I did a cache cleanup -> 4.1 GB freed, lol. No luck with log in though.

Then I did a reinstall of Liftoff and it won't even find the instance. Looks like there's a bug in the app.

Just a random report: there is something broken after the update. Liftoff app will not fetch any content and can't even log in. Did the API change with the latest release?
