  Yes, maybe use it with a pseudonym account, with several accounts or only when on holidays (on hikes for example, its like geocaching!).

  In Switzerland we have sensors in the streets at most crossings. And behind it I assume, is a determinate algorithm whoch decides who has green for how long. This mainly is done to avoid the backing up of one crossing into another.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I benchmarked 6 different metal USB sticks⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a stick dangeling on my keychain too, also in heavy use. But due to my Mac-Friends i need one with usb-c. So I settled for this: 81gqM6ouEcL.SL1500-247235771 The hinge is still holding on since almost a year. Also have two of those: sandisk_ultra_dual_usb_c_flash_drive_3-1009136228 But they seem a lot cheaper, flimsier and I probably got ripped off by a dropshipper.

  Havent benchmarked them, if anyone knows of a comparison as good as this one for “dual” usb sticks, let me know!

  Wow, Sync seems almost too good to be true, as they are significantly less expensive. Have you experience with it? Are there any drawbacks? Slow speeds or bad integration into Windows Explorer?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My cat lives in a bigger house than I do.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cats are (at least genetically) used to much bigger and more open areas. So no, a house probably doesnt feel that huge like the relative bodysize would suggest.

  I mean there are chinese spies in europe, which suppress, bully and sometimes even kill chinese journalists who have fleed (?) to europe. And thats not even a conspiracy theory, there were investigative journalists who have uncovered this in several countries. So I’d say that china is reeealy close to that villain line

  Thousands of peoples were wounded. And by the nature of a pager you do wear them when out and about and not only at the HQ
