Radfahrer-Bubble:
An der Ampel stehende Autos auf der Straße rechts überholen - ja, oder nein?

Ich reihe mich lieber ein; halte rechts überholen für ein Sicherheitsrisiko.
Und merke zudem, dass viele Autofahrer nicht wissen, dass Radfahrende das dürfen - und dann allergisch reagieren.

Was denkt ihr?

"UNRWA is currently the only aid agency in Gaza that has enough staff and infrastructure on the ground to get humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza. If the agency runs out of funds, the lives of tens of thousands of innocent people will be at stake​,” Minister Gennez said.

Also, Japan has just resumed funding UNRWA (on a different article). We'll see if the US is going to be left as the outlier, standing in isolation, probably with the UK...

Yep. It seems to me that is actively promoting the campaign. If his fellow psycho wins then the comb-over mass murderer can really get to work.

Episode 10: What I watched in March

I had such a crazy quarter at work that my drama-watching has slowed down a lot! However, I still managed to catch a few things

I'm trying to tune my ear to Mandarin.

I'm not much into phantasy, preferring contemporary PRC and RC soaps. Especially those with social issues content.

Anything more to recommend like Draw the Line?

    Reddit is going public via the IPO route. Last year, the CEO got $193 million, but moderators are not paid and expected to work free past IPO. Only some moderators and active users in the USA can apply for Reddit's initial public offering to buy stock at a special price. Most Reddit users are motivated by fake karma points and likes. Also, they banned all unofficial Reddit mobile clients. Meanwhile, the CEO profits while everyone provides free labor.

    "The political costs incurred by the US for not ending the killing – either not wanting or not being able to do so – are likely to be gigantic, both morally, although there may not be much to lose in that regard, and strategically: the ‘indispensable nation’ paraded before the world, helpless in the face of brazen disobedience on the part of its closest international ally.

    Oh, I so love it when one of my (often exercised prejudices) is offered some validation by research... this time its the boost in comprehension a reader gets from reading on paper rather than via a screen.

    For years this is what I told my students (based on my own experience), to be often told it was an age thing... well looks like I was right. Hurrah!

    [No doubt this will re-open the e-book vs. paper book debates in my timeline, but so be it]

    @ChrisMayLA6 @bookstodon To begin the eBook debate: I can't see the difference between my e-ink book reader on which I can take notes and reading a book and defacing it with marginalia and underlinings.

    But I can from personal experience confirm that reading on a phone or computer screen is more distracted. So the results of this study don't surprise me.

    So here is a question to the @bookstodon community: what is the best book you have read this year?

    @stiofi@troet.cafe avatar

    @TarkabarkaHolgy @bookstodon I think it's got to be Michael Wood's The Story of China for me.

    It taught me a lot about a civilisation about which I should know more. And I liked his bringing of Chinese women's experiences to the fore.

    Local authorities are starved of the funds to maintain, much less extend .

    Meanwhile many tens of billions of euros are spent of subsidising fossil fuel private car infrastructure in .

    This country ceased to be an example for the decades ago.

    Politically it's fucked.

    @xdydx For example here in the very conservative Handelsblatt: https://www.handelsblatt.com/politik/steuerverguenstigungen-pendlerpauschale-dienstwagenprivileg-diese-subventionen-kosten-den-staat-viele-milliarden/28623450.html

    This 65 million is the tip of the iceberg when you consider the building of highways parking lots etc.

    Aircraft fuel remains highly subsidised. I don't have the figures to hand.
