Today I had Döner. I usually bring a meal from home, today was an exception.

Just for you:

Zutaten für den Mürbeteig:

• 200 g Mehl
• 0.5 Pck. Backpulver
• 1Ei(er)
• 75 g Zucker
• 65 g Butter
• Fett für die Form

Zutaten für die Füllung:

• 200 g Zucker
• 1 Tasse Ölkleine Tasse à 100 ml
• 4 Ei(er)
• 0.5 Liter Milch
• 1 Pck. Vanillinzucker
• 1 Pck. Vanillepuddingpulver
• 1 kg Quark

1. Für den Mürbeteig das Mehl, Backpulver, 1 Ei, Zucker und Butter verrühren und den Teig dann in 2 Hälften teilen. Eine 28er Springform einfetten und mit der einen Hälfte den Rand formen und mit der anderen Hälfte den Boden auslegen.
2. Für die Füllung alle Zutaten in einer großen Schüssel vermengen und in die Form geben. Die Füllung ist sehr flüssig und verteilt sich somit von selbst.
3. Den Kuchen im vorgeheizten Backofen bei 175 °C Ober-/Unterhitze ca. 1 1/4 Std. backen (sollte er zu dunkel werden, einfach Backpapier oben drauf legen).
4. Nach der angegebenen Backzeit den Ofen ausmachen und den Kuchen über Nacht zum Auskühlen einfach im Ofen stehen lassen.

Last week I made Käsekuchen (German style cheesecake) it was easy to make and delicious!

Edit: I followed this recipe: https://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/539641151173978/Kaesekuchen-aus-Bayern.html

Renovat my bathroom, install an air conditioning system, use the rest to pay the mortgage.

I think they are wasted time, money and energy. They are a solution to problems that have been solved long ago in much better ways: better urban planning and public transportation.

Not exactly cheaper to get than a Jonsbo case.

If you go look for a used regular PC case, older model will typically have more 3.5" bays. By older, I mean +15yo.

If you have access to a 3D printer, you have options to make more drive bays on the cheap.

You will have to go for a modern power-supply still, in order to have enough SATA power plugs.

Put on an Album is the only way I listen to music. As you said, it’s often intended as one coherent art piece. Nothing wrong with listening to a single song. Still, it doesn’t feel right to me to have a compilation of random songs.

I really enjoyed this album that includes a mini audio story, very immersive: The Loop by Volkor X

People back in the days would copy their vinyls on cassettes in order to not wear them out to quickly.

Tap water is rarely pumped from rivers. Most of the time it’s pumped from groundwater.

It’s a pub, it’s safe !

Like me Ethernet switch with 3 ports on the front and 1 on the side, if only my cable didn’t melt.

• Domain and DNS service: 30€/year

In BW I’ve heard servus but not the others, are these Bavarian dialect? I am not a native speaker.

Things you should know how to say (not that it’s necessary, but because it’s nice to know):

• Hallo = Hello
• Tschüss = Bye
• Danke = Thanks
• Dankeschön = thank you very much
• Entschuldigung = excuse me

People commonly use “Ciao” for Bye, and “Sorry” for sorry.

Legal drinking age for beer and wine is 16yo.

I want to give some additional I formation:

• installation doesn’t work on Firefox, must use Chromium
• if on Linux, it may be needed to change permissions to the USB device before it works

I only go to itch.io for erotic games.

Razer Diamond back gaming mouse, shit at clicking, shit quality, over priced

Bohmann air-conditioner, broke after few hours of usage at most. Well within warranty, the reseller(Mediamarkt), and manufacturers took me for a long long ride until I eventually gave up on getting my money back…

In France and Germany you are paid monthly, by bank transfer (for most jobs). Tax are automatically accounted for, your pay slip will show the Brute/Brutto (what the employers pay) and Net/Netto (what you receive on your bank account).

In both countries, trial period must be paid. If you come 1 day to work and they don’t want you. They must pay you for the 1 day of work.

In Germany, how good things are can vary. I always had a good situation because I work in the automotive industry. For most my career my contract was “Tarifvertrag” which means it is compliant with the rules of the workers union IG-Metall, this includes the salary grid. The union is negotiating the salary increase for millions of employees on a yearly basis. You stamp in and out of work. Your work time is counted to the minute. Overtime is accumulated in a time account that you can recover as paid holiday or paid at overtime rate. Working Saturdays and Sundays is paid a special rate as well (not sure, I think it is 150% Saturday and 200% Sunday). After trial period, resignation is 10 weeks notice for both the employee and employer. They must pay you all of your overtime when you leave, and let you use all the holidays you are due.

If your profession is covered by a strong workers union, things are pretty good. Things can pretty shitty if you are independent or working for a startup or hospitality business.
