I decided to create a salad from scratch with ingredients that were still available, since I was too lazy to go shopping: lettuce, radish, lentils, edamame beans, tuna and tempeh.

The marinated chopped tempeh cubes from the airfryer turned out great and added a nice umami crispy bite to the salad.

These 'leaked' images of the upcoming Pixel 10 Pro look sexy as f*ck. I especially appreciate the matte finish on the sides. I was never a fan of the glossy sides on my current Obsidian Pixel 10 Pro.

In June I bought a few stocks of SpaceX to experiment with stock speculation.

In the end I sold it after 3-4 weeks and locked in 10% profit and learned that next time I should sell faster when I buy out of speculation/hype. I could have made 40% in the first week.

I am now putting focus on a long term strategy and just bought Apple shares during the dip. Hope to keep them for at least a few years.

Has everyone see Steve Mould's youtube video about bouncy balls and anti-trampolines? It's great.

Anyway, I think #agile / #XP software teams are like bouncy balls, and agile software companies are like trampolines.

...and it turns out that more bounciness doesn't always get you more bounce.

Yesterday's date with the Greek German guy Di. was fun. I showed him the flower market and we went to an art exhibition. After that had drinks at several locations.

He's fun, upbeat and flamboyant. There were times I just wanted him to be silent for a few moments and stop his monologues about work life. 😱😂

He was flirting heavily with me, which was fun, but I didn't return it, since I didn't feel a romantic connection with him. #xp

Nonetheless a great enjoyable day,

I am trying to live by the #Sagittarius
symbolism lately: If I point my arrow towards something interesting, I will focus on it and check for reciprocity.If it feels right I'll embrace it, if not, I'll continue my journey.

I was just asked by some weekend tourist on Romeo to join my at the flower market tomorrow and I said yes.

If my amazing date D. messages me for a second date, I'll say 'yes', but he hasn't messaged me in the past weeks and the ball in his court.

t's really concerning what's currently happening in the Spanish Exclave of Ceuta. 49,000 young Moroccan 'prosperity seekers' jumping over the fence trying to feel to the EU for a better life.

Don't get me wrong. I am definitely not against migration. I just believe it should be open solely for people fleeing their country because of war or other hardships. Moreover EU's migration has been slowly grinding to a halt due to the huge number of migrants in the past years.

I hope Brussels will soon come with drastic measurements to deal with this.

I entered 'obsessed brain mode' this morning, since I still haven't heard from D. yet about scheduling a second date.

I just told myself I don't have any information to know that he's possibly avoidant. He could be busy or still on holiday.

So dear brain, with this answer you'll need to stop obsessing and start your day.

Sharp was on a #outdoorfetish #pupplay tour in the middle of #gaygrancanaria. Aside from the marvelous beaches there is a dry and rocky dessert where one hiker searches in vain for shade - but finds beautiful views.

I honestly don't really care for historical figures on bank notes.

This design by Atelier Goppel-Toperngpong, which revolves about water and birdlife, feels timeless, especially since we're approaching an era in which water will become scarce and wildlife will need to be protected.

I'll vote for this one and hopefully this design will be picked out for the new Euro banknotes.

I am pretty stoked about the upcoming redesigned iPad Mini. The OLED screen and the rumoured chip update: A20 Pro with 12 GB RAM could make it a worthwhile upgrade to my iPad Pro M2.

The estimated single core performance of the A20 Pro will improve around 60% over the M2, making it a worthy upgrade for my music applications.

Let's hope Apple won't raise the prices of the Mini again.

It's extremely awful what happened in Berlin during the Pride festival and I stand by my brothers and sisters unconditionally.🙏

It's concerning that the acceptance for the LGBTQ+ community has lowered drastically in the last decade and there doesn't seem to be an ending to this in sight.

I really hope the current world pride in Amsterdam will progress in peace, without any incidents.

It didn't start this way, but my wife & I became an #XP team. I showed her stuff, and she gave me so much feedback, I realized she's way stronger at seeing the customer perspective than I. She became more than my product director. In Extreme Programming terms, she's my On-site Customer.

Tho unlike @thisdoesnotcomp I'd recommend going with some #X230 or older X-Series if one wants a #WindowsXP "#BridgeMachine"...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwBeTAjtHcc

Otherwise some older W-Series #ThinkPad may be the better option if one wants portable #RetroGaming and can't spare the space like @fuchsiii did and build a #Windows7 + #XP Retro Machine in an #HTPC "#Pizzabox" case...
