I see that the #Łódź region railways play hard.

It's looking like Trump has a vendetta against the Catholic church.

David Cronenberg, master of body horror movies, was born today (March 15) in 1943 (during World War II!)
I saw his films 'Crash' and 'Naked Lunch' early, around the same time, in 1997 or 1998. Since then, I've seen many more of his- I just counted, I've seen 13 of his 23 films, and I've loved all of them. I'm a huge fan. My favorite was Shivers for a while. I'm not sure what it is now. Gotta see those final 10!
Happy birthday, David. We love …

one reason recommendation systems seem terrible to me: I used to go to bookstores basically to read the bookshelves, not really looking for a book to read. similarly, I often open up netflix with a vague feeling of "maybe I'll watch something", but really what interests me is the browsing, and I'm unsatisfied by the weird browsing experience. sometimes I do hunt and want something to pounce on, but most of the time I'm just exploring

Unser altes Haus hier hat ne Ölheizung. Der Brenner zeigte seit Freitagabend einen Fehler an. Handwerker hat erst am Montag Zeit. Draussen einstellige Temperaturen, gestern Abend im Haus nur noch 16 °C. Meine Frau so: "Kannst du da nix machen?"
Bin dann mit "Verdammt Jim, ich bin Arzt und kein..." Einstellung zur Steuerung gegangen.
Oh, da gibt's nen Knopf "RST". Ich frage mich...
5 Minuten später hat das Kesselwasser 56 °C.
