There are also a couple of reasons why someone might want to use a substitute for rice.

Growing rice is very water intensive. Rice contains traces of arsenic. And of course it’s full of carbohydrates.

The packaging is marketing and uses the same plant-based stick that is conflated with healthy food.

Ich habe noch nie über das Wort nachgedacht. Bis eben.

Ich lebe in Bern wo ein L wie ein U ausgesprochen wird. Aus “Angestellte” wird “Agsteuti”. Hoffe ich. Ist hart zu lernen.

I have hacked together the ugliest of solutions and got my two stars but at what price?

And here I am with my brand new niche zero that I was so proud of until like three minutes ago.

If you go down the Java route you will probably end up working with enterprise/legacy software. If you are fine with that, do it. But what’s wrong with focussing on JavaScript as your main language?

When the Covid vaccines came out, my wife and I immediately got them. A couple of weeks later, our kids had a patch of various sicknesses, nothing major just some mild infections. I told our kindergarten teacher that I was annoyed about that and she tells, she read, that we are shedding the vaccine and that’s why our kids are sick now. I went full “are you fucking kidding me” mode and felt really bad for a long time after that.

I’d say: do the opposite! Don’t plan anything, stay no more than two nights at the same place, jump on a train and see where you end up. Then, if you don’t like, just take the next train somewhere else.

I did this twice in my early twenties and it was amazing. I mean, it was absolutely horrible. I slept on bark benches, in Cafés, in train stations, before train stations (until they turned on the sprinklers)… I was picked up by the police because we got lost in a field and more than once I was convinced I’d die. But it was absolutely worth it and both trips became core memories / PTSD trigger.

But seriously, don’t follow this advice if you have a kid and are not an immortal twenty-something.

As someone speaking German, a brutally gendered language, let me tell you, they/them is awesome and I’d love to have something similar in German. There is so much fighting and discussions about “gendern” and it consumes so much energy that could be better spent elsewhere. And conservatives are having a field trip with this.

Looking for a new word is equally as hard if not way harder than using what already works fine.
