I really know the world is ending in a giant apocalypse soon... because I've become addicted a bit to a mobile game 😂 Lost last nights sleep to a game called World Conqueror 2. Still early days, but having taken Poland, Denmark and Norway, it's time for operation Sea Lion. Turn based strategy goodness.

Yeah, THAT should show them not to mess with Azdeus 🔥 (you can put the matches away now)

...and because I'm on a roll

I don't know if Youtube's age filter kicks in. I hope so. NSFW

Ah well, double post (triple actually?) Edit: A surprising number of Russian cover versions of Rammstein songs... wanna bet, these kids have no idea what they are singing? (doing great though)

...more Rammstein Edit: Sneaking in a second video

Happy Easter to you too old friend (yes, I'm still a heathen) 🍀

Here's to hoping she doesn't get a single cent back. Maybe offer her some good cooking recipes? I remember as a poor student that toilet paper in a pinch could be used as coffee filters (that was before instant coffee). No kidding, if you don't have any money, you become inventive. Hope she chokes on that paper for a very long time to come 🖕

Found some simple recipes I might give a try. All according to the "kiss" principle and explained in plain Australian (warning, lots of swearing in the video) (he has a number of different dishes which I might try out over the next few months)

But, you're still married? 🤔

Rammstein.... how to love something unlovable?

Hey, everyone knows Corona comes from Mexico, right? Money for that wall has to come from somewhere!

In case you hadn't noticed, the economy was in a very bad shape before the virus. It just sort of "conveniently" masked the fact that the economy was heading for a free fall, the likes of the GFC. https://theconversation.com/the-yield-curve-is-one-of-the-most-accurate-predictors-of-a-future-recession-and-its-flashing-warning-signs-119963 This is from mid 2019 Debt fueled economy will increase in it's volatility until society breaks apart completely. Better learn how to make fire with sticks and how to cook wilder beasts 😛 edit: You want to fire people for doing their job? You're as bad as Trump!

Bad news for share holders.... capitalism is dying (good riddance) (using the .in link instead of .com as the latter whines about my ad blocker) https://www.businessinsider.in/macquarie-capitalism-is-dead-and-finance-has-become-a-poison-and-there-are-3-ways-this-era-will-end/articleshow/63068484.cms Warning, lots of text: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-06/is-capitalism-dying-or-just-in-isolation-coronavirus/12123874 Nationalisation of a lot of stuff might be just around the corner, world wide that is.

"Mango compote is better than no compote" 😂 What an excellent little video 👍

A Serbian friend of mine keeps insisting I have to try rakija some day. When it gets easier to travel again, I'll head down to Melbourne and take her up on that. (google image)

Being forced to work from home didn't exactly give me more spare time, but ask away, even if replies might not be instantaneous

I gave it 30+ years to sink in, it failed. Haven't indeed cared much about the world in that time. If it didn't sink in during 3 decades, it probably wont Not that I'm sitting at the sideline and waving a little Corona flag, cheering it on mind you 😂 Just agreed to up my monthly Red Cross donation on the phone today, so it's not that I hate all people, just really don't care about society in it's current form.

I wonder if I'm really an evil person or some kind of xyz-opath, or maybe it's just growing up on the front line between Nato and WP and surviving The Cold War that does it, but I think I really stopped caring about the survival of "civilisation" as we know it a long time ago. Not my preferred way of fixing the overpopulation problem, but all I can do these days is watching what's happening with a head scratch and a feeling of mild annoyance at the inconvenience. Walking around the streets in the city now, brings back childhood memories of a world with less people (and way less cars) in it and feeling less claustrophobic. Maybe I'm just a cynic and a grumpy old bastard (and self proclaimed anarchist).

Counting fingers: 1... 2... 6! Yes, still alive! Wait, you've been gone?

Look at it this way, if they succeed, they can award themselves the Nobel Prize. If they fail, they can get the Darwin Award. Win/Win 😇

Found a better trailer for Adams Apples with English subtitles (the previous one I posted a few pages back wasn't an official one) Flammen og Citronen (The Flame and the Lemon) about WWII A movie based on real events. After WWII thousands of young German POW's where ordered to clear the minefields on the Danish west coast.

Sometimes bigger is better 😇

Almost finished my interstate move. Got the keys yesterday, getting my furniture tomorrow. Good thing too, as I'm a bit tired of hotels. I've been living in hotels since I moved out of my old place end of February Got electricity sorted out, water is there too.... oh yeah, need internet too. I'll get there eventually. Edit: Unexpected benefit of the global panic... hotel rooms are dirt cheap these days... cheap as in competitive with renting an apartment, just with room service and free toilet paper rolls included

I love Rammstein. After Metallica bailed out on me with a last minute warning that their concert was cancelled, I've found myself a new "must go and see live!" band. Just bloody tricky these days with the world in lock down and groups of more than 2 people prohibited 😂 The scourge of commercialism
