For about 20 years, I wore jeans made exclusively in Germany. During the pandemic, the manufacturer even wrote to customers. They were obviously struggling. I had no intention of switching brands until last year, when I was looking for one in a specific color. It took a while to find one, but the price seemed too high. I then looked elsewhere and stumbled upon this one brand that everyone knows and even offers certain models at a lower price. At first, I was skeptical, but then I couldn't stop myself. In nine months, I've put together a small collection, including trousers in various washes and jackets. It was also necessary because my body was changing. I could no longer wear those narrow tapered models.

I'm even wearing blue jeans again now, something I hadn't done for a while due to work. The internet was a huge help in keeping track of the different models and production batches.

Yesterday night I saw Anna Von Hausswolff in concert, it was her first gig ever in my country. It was a cathartic experience for me and I'm really glad about it!!

I'm back in touch with Hippiecat.   

I found a way to disable automatic synchronization of YouTube content. Thanks to Dominik B.

Prolonging the war...

QuoteThe strikes came hours after a call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, after which Trump said he was "disappointed" that Putin was not ready to end the war against Ukraine.

Noting that it came directly after Putin's call with Trump, Zelensky added in a post on Telegram: "Russia once again demonstrates that it does not intend to end the war".

He called on international allies - particularly the US - to increase pressure on Moscow and impose greater sanctions.

Very nice! 
Hm, I can still count them... 

I think he was there. He once said he'd been to more Cure concerts than he could count. That's impressive. 

If Vince Clarke ever discovers this forum, he'll have a nice surprise... 

The enthusiasm about this remix project from all sides (incl. myself) is really overwhelming!
