I enjoyed the long read about Germany's flat-rate train tickets and the podcast about a British cult.

I still miss the yearly IKEA catalogue. I quite enjoyed it as event and browsing it, even as PDF.
The website is just not the same.

I don't get the hype about Succession.
Is it rich people porn?
Is it The Office with more money and fewer ideas?
Was it affected by the writers strike from the very beginning?
What am I missing?

It would be great if Gimlet would be part of an open podcast world (or as I call it: podcasts) again.
The founders are probably sitting on some private island now.

ISO 3103 - this doesn't help in my original quest to find out how long a cup of tea is at the perfect drinking temperature.
But that's how far I got.

My Garmin decided mid ride that it's just too cold and shut down.
I guess it's the battery. It wasn't even below zero!

I like #pixelfed as an Instagram replacement.
Discovering accounts to follow is pretty much impossible though.
So, please suggest accounts.

I was skeptical about the role of an AI Prompt Engineer.
But after shouting at Google Assistant for ages to make it play one of the personalised playlists on YouTube Music, I get it now.
