Manchmal bedaure ich, nach #NRW gezogen zu sein. Besonders wegen der Schulerfahrungen, die meine Kinder machen müssen. Zum Beispiel haben beide nicht (oder zu spät) gelernt, wie man mit der Hand schreibt.

In einem Interview mit Elif Senel auf WDR5 erzählt Renate Tost, wie sie gemeinsam mit Elisabeth Kästner in den 1960er Jahren in der DDR die schnörkellose, praktische Schulausgangsschrift entwickelt und eingeführt hat.

Beim Zuhören habe ich gehofft, dass ich irgendwann in meinem Leben mal so präzise sprechen kann wie diese Dresdnerin, die im September 86 Jahre wird.

I don't use SAS much any more, but this new book by an old friend, Leroy Bessler,
looks promising.
"Visual Data Insights Using SAS ODS Graphics: A Guide to Communication-Effective Data Visualization"
I'm waiting to see what's happened in ODS Graphics in the last 15+ years.

"What you can be sure about is that, on average, you pay 20% of your water bill to service debt raised to reward mostly overseas owners rather than maintain our crumbling water network. And a creaking water network means more pollution. Up to last year, these companies paid out £65.9bn to shareholders and owners. Most of that was funded through borrowing money so that, collectively, they are now £54bn in debt"

@NDR Natürlich gibt's ne #Aulandspolizei bzw. #Überseepolizei seitens der "V.R." - diese untersteht deren #Staatssicherheit|s-Ministerium...

Das zu leugnen ist genauso naiv wie die Leugnung der Existenz des #SAS seit Operation Nimrod.

I have access to the lounge (on this particular ticket) but it's before passport control and sometimes passport control is a disaster and I didn't want to risk it, but the new E gates at CPH are much better than the old pier, and it's quieter, for now.

That SAS has no lounge in the non-Schengen zone (where they make probably most of the money) is a puzzle.

I don't expect online check in to work for transatlantic flights but your app not letting me put in my middle name, that I have provided to you repeatedly (including on the profile that should be where you're ingesting data from and my passport you asked me to scan), is some goddamn awful coding.

So off we go, so I can be 3+ hours early.

Pokker! Jeg så overskrifta "Rappet milliardavtale" om at Norwegian tar over flyavtalen med forsvaret i dag, og lagde en rap, men nå er den borte.

Her er rappen:
🎶 Yo, forsen, den milliardavtale
Hadde vi tenkt i land å hale
Mindre enn til SAS skal dere betale
Huet til forsbossen skal vi male
På et av våre fly sin hale
Yo, yo, yo ... [repeat ad absurdum] 🎶

Woop woop, very small plane, bit at least USB-C. Good job #SAS

Four plus hours later.

Some nutjob blocked the nearest overhead and tried to threaten me if I put mine in there. But now the flight attendant jammed several things on top of his and mine is several rows back.

I need a drink.

EU261 claim filed while I'm still waiting for the damn flight to depart because why not. But they need 4-6 weeks. So we'll see.
