@marick I only have a few data points, but I wonder if your parents' decision to rename was at least in part due to:
1. Seeming to have origins in Poland
2. A very anti-Polish job market (in Chicago, but presumably in other portions of Illinois too) in the middle of the 20th century
I drew the second point from Chicago-raised basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski, who mentioned his father went by Kross when applying to jobs.
Much more tragically though, I very recently realized that this is also my parenting style.
So today, I made sure to celebrate my three year old for her first day at the big kids' daycare.
At pickup, I told her I was VERY proud of her and tossed her up into the sky three times. Then we marched to her grandparents' house and told them what a big day she had, before going home and doing the same with her mom and three week old brother.
I think today was one of the happiest days of her life

One thing I learned about myself when I started managing others is that, if I'm not deliberate about addressing it, I operate on two modes:
1. This is unacceptable and needs to get better. Don't even think of celebrating.
2. This is how things are supposed to be running. What is there to celebrate?
As you can imagine, this created a less-than-ideal work environment that sapped motivation levels without me noticing.

@bbatsov Different regional administrations have their individual websites which sometimes have English.
I buy the one from Hamburg (HVV), since they pro-rate the first month for the date of purchase and you can cancel after the month's end it it's before the 10th of the month. Info: https://www.hvv-deutschlandticket.de/en/
Berlin's BVG also has their info in English, and I'd guess other regions do, too.
I'm finally living the dream!

Remember when you had minimum length requirements on essays as a kid, and you added a bunch of fluff to pad it?
AI slop winning SEO battles on things you care about today is your karmic revenge. This is your fault.
Knowledge is knowing that drivers have right of way over pedestrians at unmarked intersections in Germany.
Wisdom is being prepared for people, especially small children, to not know this ridiculous rule.
