As a kid I usually listed to CDs from the series "Was ist Was". Originally it's a science book series for about 10-15 year old with topics like weather, the sun, mathematics, pirates or vulcanos. The series usually goes pretty in depth for a series more or less aimed at kids.
Apparently it's a translation from the series "How and Why Wonder Books".
For anyone interested: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Was_ist_was
Anyway, I enjoyed listening to the audio versions of the books (they were moderated by characters).
Later on I just listened to general music.
Nowadays I do not listen to anything. Sometimes to self recorded sea noises from vacation.
I uploaded them as well :)

If I need 5min to read and understand a road sign which you will pass at >15km/h annd have 10sek to read it's just bad.
Dunno how it's with Ali but doesnt Temu also use forced labor?
Have you seen the wheel spin and Fomo coupons?
Maybe not as much but still highly gimmicky in comparison to normal e-commerce sites
My only reasons to buy on Ali is when I need something simple like velcro that can be cut to length or other small scale stuff electronics (e.g. Rasperry Pi 0) and it doesnt have to be fast.
Ironically the shipping is either free or so cheap it's better than domestic amazon.
I often suspect they sell the same item but order it with DHL shipping (our domestic shipper) with high priority shipping included in the price (2€ item + 8€ shipping = 10€ on Amazon + "free" shipping)
Alis search is really bad.
Somehow the auto translation is active for the product names but if you search they don't seem to apply.
For example:
Searching for Cherry MX switches brings up articles that are named "Mechanische Kirsch Schalter für Tastatur" (essentially the name but translated). Problem is: Cherry the company is like it's in english as well, also the fruit amd thus will not be translated correctly.
Trying to search more niche stuff quickly gets annoying when trying to find something specific.
From the screenshots alone the interface looks similar to sync
Like a worse AliExpress
Water cooled as well for the sweet 1U + reservoir
Not like I'd want contributions from the chinese state programmers.
Feels like an easy entry for state level supply chain attack.

This was a guided tour of the future main station in Stuttgart called Stuttgart21.

Visited the zoo on the 27th Aug and was reminded to post it here by @dandroid@dandroid.app
My company pays for it so we can edit pdf forms.
Sadly not many capable tools for that exist. Open for suggestions (Windows) though
