If you like museums, get the Museum Pass, which grants you access to 30 museums over the course of 3 days. Just a heads up that some of the museums (especially the ones on Museum Island) are so popular you have to book a reservation the day before. Only 2-4 hours of free time per day is quite limiting, though.

Pergamonmuseum is the most popular museum in Berlin, but I believe it’s under renovation work right now (which sucks; it has the best collection of hot naked muscular statues and reliefs). My personal recommendations are Altes Museum, Bode-Museum, the Gemäldegalerie, and the German Spy Museum.

Rüyam Gemüse Kebab makes my favourite döner kebabs. I got addicted to the one on Hauptstraße back when I was there. Other people have different favourite döner stores, so try them all out while you can!

oh boy, yeah no don’t do that. fermented anything should be used in small quantities to flavour a much larger quantity of stuff, like rice.

even better yet, make that durable phone shell user-replacable! you can even have those shells in different styles and colours so users can accessorize their devices any way they like! this would also give birth to a thriving industry of aftermarket shells for your phones, where small makers can even 3D-print their own shells for sale.

because we sleep at night and are active during the day, and so we need to track that in a way that is universal. if i mention 12:00, people understand that it is noon where i am, and if i mention 22:00, they know it’s bedtime.

the whole point of time zones is to have time cohesion in a wider region within margin of error of solar noon, so people on the far east and far west of a time zone are close enough to solar noon at 12:00. you can take a train to a neighbouring city without having to worry about needing to adjust your timekeeping devices by a few minutes.

to put your scenario into perspective, china has already done what you suggested on a smaller scale: the entire country is on UTC+8 for the sake of “unity” and “national cohesion”. beijing loves it; 12:00 is still noon there! except it ain’t in xinjiang and tibet. xinjiang has its own unofficial xinjiang time zone of UTC+6, and so people have to specify which time zone they’re talking about and convert times between the two time zones in conversation because the uyghers use xinjiang time and the han chinese use beijing time, and you can imagine the confusion and also technical issues that has arisen from that.

imagine that, but 12 times worse. no thanks, i’ll do the simple math of converting time zones if i ever need to communicate internationally.

fuck daylight savings. take that shit out back.

The fact that much of the world has defined masculinity as “rugged, raw, and remorseless rock n’ roll” is just wild to me.

Imagine denying yourself the ability to enjoy flowery scents and having emotions just to prove that you have a penis.

“AI” has been a very common and very old term used in video games to refer to NPCs that react to player behaviour. It’s also sometimes used to refer to bots that emulate player logic to play a game, such as in this CB video.

If you missed that much and yet still know about machine learning: welcome back to society!

i don’t drive, but reverse parking is the norm here in hk.
