I defended my dissertation today.
It was accepted, meaning that I'll soon be awarded the title PhD. It's just bureaucratic shenanigans now.

Facebook kam heute hiermit an.
Meiner Meinung nach sollte es folgendes Gesetz geben: Wenn ein Onlineservice seine Nutzungsbedingungen ändert, sollte dem Nutzer sofort angeboten werden, den Service zu beenden, und zwar auf die gleiche Art und Weise, wie die neuen Bedingungen zu akzeptieren. Hier in diesem Beispiel kann ich nur zustimmen, ich komme nicht mehr auf die website, selbst wenn ich nur mein Facebook-Konto löschen will. Ich MUSS also zustimmen. Ich halte das für illegitim
I wanted to play some german scrabble with a bunch of friends of mine, but neither of us has a table that's big enough.

Looks like that old piece of shit Joseph Ratzinger, aka. pope benedict XVI, is finally kicking the bucket. Good. It's just a shame that he managed to evade justice for his involvement in the cover up of all those sexual abuse cases. The fact that the bavarian justice system has done jack shit is equally as pathetic.
I haven't eaten any Franconian pan-fried carp in years. Really missed it. The best parts are either the fins or the gonads.

Let's welcome the newly defined SI prefixes:

quetta (Q): 10^30
ronna (R): 10^27

ronto (r): 10^-27
quecto (q): 10^-30

Gotta be careful with that capitalization, otherwise you end up making a mistake of 60 orders of magnitude.

After about 4 months using Linux as a daily driver on my laptop, I can say that I miss only two things, and both have viable alternatives:

1. OneDrive
2. Microsoft Office

This is the reminder that:

1. Putin has a tiny penis
2. My tea tastes funny

Heading back home to my hometown tomorrow. The first time in almost 3 years. Time to see what changed there.
