Came back from a 5 day trip to Northern Germany today. Stayed in Cuxhaven for 5 days, which is a coastal town and the northernmost point of the state of Lower Saxony. I liked it a lot better than the usual town I stay in when I visit northern Germany. Some impressions. This ship was built in 1904. It has quite a history. It was re-discovered in Sweden in 1979, and brought to Hamburg for repairs. But it was determined that it would be too expensive to restore it, so they gifted it to the town of Cuxhaven. Lotsenviertel in Cuxhaven. Very hipster-ish, but pretty. Ritzebüttel Castle in Cuxhaven. "Swiss House" in the Castle's park. Built in 1847 as a tea house. And then on my way back to Düsseldorf, I visited Bremen for 2-3 hours. Never been there before, so I wanted to take a look. A very old phonebooth now a plant house. Schnoor-Viertel. The oldest part of Bremen. And of course, the Westerstadion. Home of Werder Bremen.

It gets better.

Well, yea. 24 hours is an incredibly long time. You work 8 hours, and than you have 16 hours for all the other activities... then you work 8 hours again and 16 hours again....ok that's just math. But that's A LOT of time. And I'd miss dreams!

Yea, but wouldn't one get bored eventually after some time? You'd also have to deal with peoples bullshit for 24 hours. But yea, if you commit yourself to something, and can invest 24 hours into it, it could be handy. Now that I think of it. Sleeping is basically fast forwarding to death.

Imagine living 24 hours through EVERY day. I don't think I could do that for 40 years.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insomnia#Society_and_culture The not being able to sleep part makes me question if that's real. If you never get any rest, wouldn't your body eventually shut down?

He is the messiah!

One of the best and truest things I've ever read on here.

Good signing!

No replacement for the Russian GP.

The former captain of Germany's Basketball national team died today at 46 years old. I remember watching him play for Germany a lot back in the day. The news shocked me. RIP.

Are you transforming into an actual American?

Putin is Nato's employee of the month.

Good or bad? I just watched the trailer. It was quite something. So I can imagine what the whole movie must have felt like.

You go down, we go up. And vice versa the season after that. We'll never meet again.

Yes, congrats @nudge, @Devil-Dick Willie and @UK Grun Weiss It was nice having you in the 2. Bundesliga though.
