I am so with you on this one. I have come around to a lot of songs, I can tolerate some real vile shit, I can be amused by absolute garbage, but this song goes against every fiber of my being. It's like a cheese grater to my brain. And I don't know why.

You guys don't get folic acid from your gyn when you are pregnant? As far as I remember, we got told by everyone involved - doctors, nurses, midwives - that my wife should take a couple of essential relatively inexpensive supplements. Country: Germany.

I totally agree. I'm not an AI hype man. I want to scream whenever I see a PR littered with emojis, bullet lists, and way too much text for a simple change. I hate the discussions about the transformative power of AI, the 10x production gains, all the million tools, agents, skills, plugins, methods I should be using but I am already behind and old and probably unemployed next week, right? Still, AI use is not inherently bad. It gets me unstuck. It finds subtle errors I wasn't noticing, it writes documentation faster and better than I can. I hate the companies who are pushing it, the methods of it's training, but the tool itself is just a tool and sometimes a very useful one. IMHO we shouldn't shame every open source developer just for using it. As long as they are responsible with it, I'm fine with some AI code in my software.

I like the idea, however there are some differencea between books and musical instruments. Hygiene is a problem with all woodwind instruments. Strings, sticks, cymbals, cables brake and need to be replaced regularly. Also a whole ass drumset is huge compared to a book. But there are rehearsal rooms that you can rent that also rent out instruments. It is expensive though.

So Olten is the Kassel of Switzerland. Got it. And living in Bern I've heard about the notion that they speak slowly. I cannot confirm. Tschugger without subtitles is impossible though. And Germans are so loud and often rude in a very particular way that I only noticed after I've moved here. Thanks for the insight!

So off topic, but what did Olten do? Help me integrate by dissing the right cities.

Three of those are obvious. Just learned about Glencore. But why Olten? Afaik that's just a city?

Come on! I just moved to Switzerland! I thought it was some wholesome swiss company. What else do I need to avoid?

What did I miss about Läderach?

Stayed in an probably illegal Airbnb in a Samsung apartment in Jeju 10 years ago. It was nice. Apartment complexes are not bad. We have to them in beautiful Switzerland too. If the building is well maintained and the surrounding is full of greenery, and local shops, and entertainment, then they are a valid option and I'd prefer them over sprawl and cul-de-sacs.

High rise apartments in Seoul Meanwhile in famously communist South Korea...
