Trying to cycle in Cologne in one way, trying to cycle in Taipei in another. Retrogrouch.

Collects old music on vinyl from Taiwan and Japan.

What a damn week.

Got in a dispute (ofc politics) with the relatives, left early.

But...if I hadn't...I wouldn't have noticed my kitchen boiler leaking heavily water - even being a severe security issue.

Called the emergency plumber, fixed it, but now it's too late for the concert, daaaaaaamn.
If you like free jazz noise music, then this could probably be a thing tomorrow.

For people in Cologne or Düsseldorf, it's just inbetween in Leverkusen. Don't know any of these artists and two of them are more ambient, but the booking for this series is generally excellent.

Received the presidential alert a good 15 seconds before the waves hit here in Taichung. Maybe the biggest I've experienced since the 403 quake in 2024!

Springer hat es geschafft, dass selbst im Ende 2025 Familien durch ihre Wärmepumpen Desinformations-Hass-Kampagne gespalten werden. Die lustigen Krawall-Talkshows im TV haben auch noch ihren Anteil dran.

Und den Rest besorgt ansonsten die sogenannte Deutsche Bahn.

Es sei *herzlichst* gedankt.

From what the article provides, this sounds to me quite similar to the EU AI act.

Aufgrund der Ereignisse gestern rund um HateAid hätte ich mir von Wildberger lieber ein paar markige Worte zur digitalen Souveränität gewünscht - als so grobe fantasierende Vermutungen in Bezug auf die zukünftige Entwicklung einer Technologie.

Aber gut, Aussage war vermutlich vorgeplant.
Radio an.

Digitalminister Wildberger lehnt sich provokativ etwas zu weit aus dem Fenster, "AI" größer als als Buchdruck und industrielle Revolution....soso.

Actually, I don't know any single artist here.

Getting the point of using current music, but we need one with music that has proven over time - or an huge cultural impact.

Chanson, Krautrock, Penderecki, hungarian Soul-Jazz, Cosmic or Italo....and so on.
Thank you for the music!

Small TaiwanPlus report on the latest happenings in Taipei.

I feel a little bit touched, as I was living just around the corner from the Eslite - so I came here often by in the evening when walking down the Zhongshan linear park.

Uhhh, this looks interesting.

As having ridden the Huándǎo 2.5 times - I want to explore routes which are beside this...

Maybe this book could be some inspiration.

Just remembered this pro Hong Kong exhibition in 2019, here in Cologne.

So also good - to have a very interesting Hong Kong bubble now here as well. Thanks.

Holy crap, Microsoft is using the term "CO2 footprint" as it was intended - to blame individuals and disguise the CO2 output of major companies.

Remember, that company that just rebooted atomic power plants, because of it's own questionable AI hype....they now want you to dim your screen.

That yellow-throated martens 😍

(also loving the quality of the images, somehow there is a rough grainy look on them)
The Reeves' muntjac is the #forest creature most likely to photobomb other critters in #wildlife cams set up by the #Taiwanese forestry bureau (it shares a frame with a Swinhoe's pheasant below). Also photographed: a family of #Formosan wild boars, a Formosan black bear, Yellow-throated marten trio.

Nachdem der Standard jetzt im Video Interview einen "China Experten" (*leider* ohne Sprachkenntnisse im Land, dafür mit guter KPCh Verbindung) hatte, folgt jetzt der "Auto Experte" Dudenhöffer.

"Experten", as low as you can go.

Interesting to see....what 1.5 Taiwanese winters can do to the copper plates on a brooks saddle.

Otherwise my bicycle still looks fine (of course it's the purple/dark blue one).

I would have thought it would have suffered more, even though it was parked in an underground car park...
