  • I think you’d be surprised how close it would actually be, seeing how German spelling is almost spot on to the written word. Like here for example. I took the liberty to steal your post

    Bii tö tseints juu vant to sii in tis völd." Du juu häv ä feivörit kvout?

    “Be the change you want to see in this world” Do you have a favorite quote?

    Good job on “quote” that’s creative spelling. In “Vörld” the o in this case is actually an ö when looking at it with a German pronunciation. Now, this is my attempt at that sentence:

    “Bie dä tschänsch ju want to sie in dis wörld” Du ju hef ä fevorit quote?

    I have not seen this kind of language, so I assume it’s a new trend for English speaker. In the DACH region, writing like you speak your accent is a pretty common thing outside the major towns. I’ll leave you with a pretty complex example where the writer tried to show the pronunciation by using different circumflex to show how different letters are pronounced. https://pasteboard.co/rMJcvSHAFx6g.jpg It’s pretty extreme, but if you are fluent in any German alpine dialect you will have little problem reading it.

    Had a similar experience when roadtripping over there. Each town had a big share of local beers who were all great. Especially if you can enjoy a good IPA. Local American beers definitely are on the same level as European ones.
    Just don’t buy Bud light and similar you get at a Walmart.



  • As a general purpose USB (which not only works great for daily use as a thumb drive but also works with no issues as Linux Live or persistent USB) I can recommend the Sandisk Ultra line. I had them everywhere from 16GB to 128GB. They never let me down. The housing might look like it’s made from flimsy plastic but it’s surprising sturdy.

    A second drive I’m currently preparing for use as a persistent Linux drive is the Samsung portable SSD T7. It’s nice and sturdy and the USB C to USB C interface allows me to easily run it on my Laptop without using up any of my precious USB A ports.



  • Hey! Remember negative thoughts 2 hours after sundown are not valid!

    Don’t let yourself get pulled down by them too much and as others have suggested you can always speak to other people.

    Proper self reflection is also a great tool to get out of such spirals. Use a diary and write down all the mean stuff you say to yourself in your thoughts. They will lose a lot of power once they materialize.
