You can tell an orderly society by their waste disposal. The Germans sort paper, packaging and plastic, compost, general trash and glass bottles all in their own homes. They keep each other in check if someone feels like mixing them up. It shows a deep sense of responsibility.
Elevator finished and commissioned at 4-kilo project. The team like always did a clean job.
Electromechanical work wrapping up means the final stage of project. An interesting and unique project is finally coming to an end.
This senile old man has lost it up in his cranium so bad that he can't make the parallel between Russia vs Ukraine and Ethiopia vs Eritrea. He is out here publicly endorsing Russian actions against Ukraine while presiding over a tiny state eyed the same way by Ethiopians.
They got their freedom in 1994, and ever since it looks like they are on a downward spiral asymptotically approaching the rest of us on that wretched continent.
Unbelievable SA has tanker fleers and water problems like the rest of us.
Instead of maintaining, upgrading, and expanding permanent municipal infrastructure, South African politicians have turned water into a procurement racket.
They are abandoning sustainable engineering to buy massive fleets of expensive water tankers.
Why? Because permanent underground pipes don't offer lucrative, recurring tender opportunities for politically connected cronies. Tanker fleets do.
Relying on a fleet of trucks to distribute a basic human right isn't just an administrative failure; it is a deliberate regression. It is the commodification of a crisis by a political class that would rather manage decay for profit than govern with proper developmental standards.
Building a city from scratch is about heavy-duty engineering, laying down deep underground water systems, treatment plants, and piped infrastructure before a single brick goes up.
That requires long-term statecraft, institutional capability, and vision.
What we are witnessing now is the systematic political degradation of those exact standards.
When you live in Germany and realize those refrigerators probably need a fax machine to work 🤣🤣
Woke up and realized we are out of coffee. I had to make the decaf stash kept for weird friends and having had it, I am reconsidering the friendship.
A beautiful autumn 🍁🥮 weekend. 2026 is effectively over and we are now entering the grind phase of the year.
Basic research called "Robbers Cave Experiment" that experimented on in-group behavior, conflict resolution shows how easy it is to have hostilities to other groups and how only sharded objective to overcome a common problem brings peace.

Some people say civil wars have no winners and losers. I disagree. They have losers. Everyone involved is a loser. There just aren't any winners.
Since bread either gets love or hate, I am starting my Friday morning with a beautiful crackling sourdough bread of rye and whole wheat with roasted hazelnuts in the crum. The smell in the house is divine.
Deep nutty aroma, and a perfect complement to the rustic rye.
I have pieces of lumber and plywood available for pickup at 4kilo for site. It's free if you can bring your own Isuzu truck.
I made rye (ጠመዥ), whole wheat, Dinkel (old whest variant) bread with multigrains (oats, saseme, pumpin seeds). Great taste, rustic and healthy. – at Wiesbaden, Germany
A barbaric country commiting barbaric acts in the 21st century. It is absurd how they are able to parallelly live a life of luxury and opulence as a result of the fruits of the 21st century and still allow their heads to be in 980AD. – at Wiesbaden, Germany
Trending Story: Saudi Arabia has exe/cuted two Bangladeshi nationals, Nazrul Islam Abdul Basir and Siri Akhtar, following conviction of immoral sexual act inside a mosque in Mecca.
The “immoral act” was apparently a kiss on the forehead. They were newlyweds who decided to spend their honeymoon in Mecca.
According to reports in Bangladesh, Saudi authorities refused to consider they were a couple, and the forehead kiss was an expression of appreciation to Allah for a beautiful bride.
Their bodies have arrived in Bangladesh in two coffins for traditional burial rites.

It's pumpkin season. What better way to celebrate than a pumpkin cream soup topped with toasted walnuts and ofcourse home made sour dough multi-grain bread. – at Wiesbaden, Germany
የተወጋ ጫት በጅቡቲ በኩል ደርሷቸው ነው?
እንወችኋለን እያሉን ነው። 😭🤣🤣
አሜሪካ ቢያስፈራሯት ንብረቷ በዝቶ ነው። እኛ ያጣ የነጣ ደሃ የገባበት ዋሻ ድረስ ተከትለን ተርዚናውን ማስተፋት ነው።
የጫት ማሳ ቢቃጠል በ አንድ ሃሙስ እጅ ይሰጣሉ። – at Wiesbaden, Germany
