Yeah, 5 years ago I was drinking coffee at 10PM and I was sleeping without an issue. I’m pretty sure that would be a very big problem right now

Interesting coincidence - I’ve been drinking only one cup of coffee in the morning for the past month or so. Used to drink one in the morning and one immediately after lunch. Could…

Love these websites! Design is very cool as well

Is distillation something we have to live with or are there ways to prevent it?

They’re indirectly elected through national governments and parliament. That’s different from being directly elected by citizens. Being appointed by elected politicians doesn’t mak…

They're not going to stop, are they?

I won’t subscribe to watch a video, sorry. I think this is the YouTube version though: https://youtu.be/oV9rvDllKEg

Opinionated, but Tesla's interface seems better than any CarPlay? The thing with CarPlay that I hate the most is that it is laggy. I have it on a Series 5 BMW and Spotify has a del…

At the time I was in Italy!

When I was little I remember rescuing a small bat, brought it around in my hands for a good hour. I guess I was very lucky :/
