I get it that #kids nowadays might not know a rotary #phone or floppy disk, but I was stunned when I had a 9-yro shockingly expressing "OMG, you still have a two-handle water tap?!", pointing at my #kitchen sink. #generation #fail #RotaryPhone #FloppyDisk

The thing with heaters is, you actually have to first turn them on before you can expect them to be warm. #Fail

I love how the "we got ___ before #GTA6" #meme has become this generation's "will it run #DOOM". It also shows the shift in attitude and interest: hands-on #code tinkering vs. stimulating entertainment impatience.

Finally (barely) enough #snow in the east of #Luxembourg for the #kids to make a #snowangel.

What's #wrong with #kids nowadays? I got an information request on several topics by a #teen. I replied with 1 message per topic via messenger app. Of course, only the latest message was read, the others (pick your favorite excuse) "not noticed" / "will read later". #Fail

And right on cue, here we are, a week after #Christmas, when I uncontrollably start humming the #traditional #earworms in the #shower. Every year - one might even say "The same procedure as every year." #Xmas #Fail

It's #Friday afternoon, and some #snowflakes are floating around in #Luxembourg. If today won't be a bridge day and 95% on vacation, #snow #chaos would be guaranteed. #Weather #driving #fail #tradition. #LUproblems

#HappyNewYear
There, I said it, now don't annoy me with it for the next weeks. Why do people feel the urge to wish that to those they meet the first time after the event, even though by then it's been weeks since? Leave it to the first day of the #NewYear, and be done with it. Thank you.

Why are all "the/your year in review" lists published in December, and not in January, when it would include the full previous year?

Noticed how under-30s (and more under-20s) have no #popculture #knowledge predating the years around their birth? Older gens often know century old references. Funny how that correlates with portable #entertainment advancement, yet inverses to #media availability increase. #Fail

I bumped into a lonely #SaintNicholas at #Auchan today thought it might be a great #selfie opportunity, given no queue. But "sorry, no", he sadly whispered, "only by the mall's own photographer" :( #Fail

Last week's #GoodDeed: notified a company about a #nest of the #dangerous, #invasive #Asian #hornet (vespa velutina) in one of their trees. Once you've seen a nest, you can't stop scanning leafless treetops for more, out of #fear it becomes an #obsession. #AsianHornet #Luxembourg

First action of the new #week and in today's #GoodDeed: informed a survey and market research institute about their expired #SSL certificate. Also, I feel I should get back to post more again.

Took me only two decades to figure out #OneNote features "section groups", which are subfolders within sections. I guess I just never looked carefully at a section right-click pop-up menu. #Fail #MicrosoftOneNote

After I finally got around to migrate the local #GTA5 savegame from #XboxOne to #XboxSeries, it gave me 21 #achievement notifications which can't be skipped. Enough time to make a fresh #coffee. #AchievementUnlocked #Xbox #RockstarGames
