Quiting
I read thas as quieting, as in quiet quitting
Proud owner of Miez (born 2013)
and previous owner of Koda and Lilly (2013&2021)
M&K ended up fighting all the time. I then took in L as a new playmate for Koda. Luckily K&L found a new home with friends

They’re on the same ground actually, not a hill or anything. I just took the pic on the very top of the ride.
Thank you very much
Thank you very much. I actually took two really beautiful pics that morning. Hope you enjoy a swan spreading its wings in the morning mist:

This is exactly why I’m doing most of my posts bilingual: It’s a fun way to learn such things. I also tend to translate location names, such as Oaktown for Eichstätt.
Here is the full album that I created this way if you’re interested: Today I went on a walk with my dad in my hometown https://imgur.com/gallery/z1ddA72

Germany has taken some serious “renaturation” steps to fix the grave errors done since the 1940s to 1980s where they straightened rivers and dried up a lot of land. E.g. at all of Altmühl’s weirs they dug a little creek around it to enable fish to migrate or sometimes even bigger projects like this one:

I used Der Spiegel as it is the first big reputable newspaper reporting on this. Haven’t found an English source yet. I have all trackers blocked through noscript and am on mobile, so don’t really know if this is better, but here’s an alternative link: https://www-aerzteblatt-de.translate.goog/nachrichten/149595/Aorta-als-eigenstaendiges-Organ-eingestuft?_x_tr_sl=auto&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=de&_x_tr_pto=wapp
Thank you!
Ah, thanks!
Could you please explain the joke to a non native English speaker?
Yeah I’m an SW engineer and my job is 30% coding max. Equal part is requirements engineering (so translate sys reqs to sw reqs, ensure traceability and such), static code analysis and dev tests plus 10% change management. The last part is the most interesting part as this includes analysis of feasabilty, risk and impact assessment as well as proposing/reviewing sys reqs for new or existing features. Glad I’m not a sys dev though as they don’t get to code at all.
Don’t really like it though as it is a bs expression used by employers to discredit workers that do exactly what they were employed for and don’t gift the employer their free time. You know, just like most employers don’t do anything but to pay you the bare minimum that they can get away with all while expecting you to hand out gifts to them.
