Fanged Noumena by Nick Land

Cyclonopedia by Reza Negarestani

Both are a naked lunch level mindfuck. Don't treat it as a book, but rather as a stream of consciousness on the acid trip. Don't try to make any sense, just ride the wave.

That's exactly what I started doing this year. I've read 32 books already and it gives me much more satisfaction than watching stupid "like & subscribe to my patreon" videos.

Not sure if best, but:

  • cleaning the kitchen in the evening. I listen to podcasts or music while doing it, and the mornings are easier as I don't have to confront mountains of dirty dishes.
  • reading - I try to dedicate at least one hour a day and read a book. I guess with general decline of the content on the Internet it got much easier to go offline.
  • meditation and relaxation techniques - I started doing this as a teenager and thanks to hours I've put in I have no problems falling asleep. Even when I am high on caffeine I can relax my body during the night and wake in the morning not feeling like a zombie.

I have Dynalink DL-WRX36, running openwrt since day 0. Iirc it was 60 euro year ago. Everything works, wireguard too. No complaints. I believe there is openwrt stable build for it already, though I an still running snapshot as I am too lazy to update.

The housing ages as well. Old houses will be torn down and new builds will be regulated to maintain the supply low.

Demographic will definitely also have impact, but so much money is tied in REITs that some sort of bailout is inevitable in case the prices crash.

Anything by Aki Olavi Kaurismäki. If someone can't appreciate masterpieces of Finnish cinema, I'll be happy to show them the door.

Yet there if always mountains of money for ridiculous projects like superexpensive highways in the city or car subsidies. But building new affordable housing is always refused with an absurd excuse like "we don't want to distort free market principles".

But why it isn't WuSE - Weichware und System Entwicklung

I always wonder how resilient are these solar parks when a big hailstorm comes. There were some really large storms in Germany in the last couple of years and they caused really serious damage in the cities.

Maybe you have Chutzpah on your mind?
