Two-stroke engines seem to be in a lot of places in Germany: scooters as well as leaf blowers, lawn mowers, hedge trimmers, lawn edge trimmers and chainsaws. In all cases the advantage of the engine is that it is rather light and cheap to produce. ...
I really hate video tutorials. There are very few which are well made and concise. Most of them have a very low information density. Also with the video format one cannot just skim it like one can with a text. I much prefer text with pictures. Also I prefer papers over talks as I can access them with in the way that I like best. ...
Verkehrspolitisch scheint Deutschland das Problem einer sehr großen Automobilindustrie zu haben. Sehr viele Arbeitsplätze sind vom Automobilbau abhängig. Jetzt in der Corona-Kriese ist natürlich auch diese Industrie betroffen, da viele Leute in ungewissen Zeiten kein Auto kaufen.

There are a couple of programs that have cell-based notebook interfaces. In this example I will use iPython Notebook (now called Jupyter notebooks). The exact same results can be obtained with Wolfram Mathematica. ...
There seem to be a lot of people who have trouble inserting a USB-cable in the right orientation on the first go. I often have a little trouble with that myself. The USB standard asks the manufacturers of cables to have a tactile USB logo on the upper side of the connector. In theory you can take any connector, feel the USB logo and know the way to plug it in. On the computer and phones, the upper side should be up. ...
Für meinen nächsten Arbeitsvertrag brauchte ich ein Führungszeugnis, Belegart O. Beim meinem letzten Führungszeugnis bin ich noch zum Justizministerium hier in Bonn gefahren und wollte das beantragen. Das kann man da aber nur unter ganz bestimmten Umständen machen, ich jedenfalls nicht. Diesmal wusste ich das besser, also direkt zur Stadt Bonn. ...
