Correctly it would be ‘Holz’ and not ‘Holtz’
The latter I’ve heard as a family name sometimes. But you’re probably right, that it historically referenced ‘Holz’

Edit: only found a German page about the origins of the name, and yes, it is very probably coming from forest, woodland, wood

Yeah, that’s exactly what I mean.

Just replace the family with loneliness and the meal with some substance, that makes you feel less shit, and you have the same thing

Just like an alcoholic has the problem, that he can’t just stop after a beer or two.
It’s the same mechanism.

Everything you use to cope with emotions can produce that.
Like nicotine itself isn’t hard to quit - not much of a physical addiction. But as one used cigarettes as little self rewards and uncomfortable situations, you can’t just give up your tool to manage your emotions.

The only way out is to face those emotions and solve the original issue. Else you’ll just be hopping through different “helpers”

Edit: maybe to give an even more extreme example:
Cocaine doesn’t produce any physical addiction, but because it gives you the feeling of being awake and you suddenly can handle the stress, you’ll fell completely lost and alone without it in those situations.
That’s why trigger situations are a thing.

With food, just like cigarettes, it’s even worse, because you use them for good and bad times.
So the association with feeling good is much harder to break.
As we need food, this addiction is probably even worse, because you can’t just stop eating all together and face your emotions. So you’re daily tempted with it.
I personally can’t relate with overeating/“food addiction”, but having spent a month tapering opiate teas (which I used to still be able to work during my burnout), I understand the feeling of constantly looking for an excuse to still do a bit more - just today…
Because this day was especially bad and I desperately need the crutch, or especially nice and I feel like I wanna celebrate it somehow.

Because you can’t easily borrow it your friend or bring it with you to a game night?

Why ‘S-E-X’?
Are they aware that spelling something out isn’t working the same way as I’m speech - and even then, why not just talk about sex?

Ok, I’ll go search for your other comment

Edit: I’m still not sure how the US supporting Israel is making Russia attack Ukraine or how that should be connected - obviously, geopolitical everything is somehow connected, but not causal

Edit 2: I’m absolutely not in favour of US backing Israel (or their fucking imperial capitalism), but do you want to say, that Russia had no other choice or…?
I do know this sounds foolish, but I’m currently really struggling to make sense of what you want to say

I’m really not sure, if I can follow.

How is Israel (absolutely doing a genocide atm - just to have that said) involved with that? What’s the connection?

Maybe I missed something just scrolling through?

Thanks! Couldn’t come up with the correct word and settled for “syrup” ;-)

You don’t make opium from the seeds

You can wash them though and the “syrup” around contains morphine, codeine and stuff.
The seeds themselves don’t get processed, but the poppy cup gets cut so this white liquid flows on the outside.

That you scrape of and gets processed to opium or heroin.

Most stupid book I’ve ever read…

Those USB adapters always seem to damage the USB port (or their side of it breaks) when I put the phone in my pocket.
Tried several of them, because I have some expensive headphone pairs. I even tried to use a Bluetooth thingie with a jack, but having a second device to charge wasn’t really convenient as well…

Happens to everyone

Just having a multitude of terminals open with a mix of test environment and (just for comparison) an open connection to the production servers…

We were at a fair/exhibition once and on the first day people working on an actual customer project asked us, if they could compare with our code.
Obviously they flashed the wrong PLC and we were stuck dead at the first hours of the exhibition.
I still think that this place was cursed, as we also had to do multiple re-soldering of some connections of our robot and the sherry on top was the system flash dying - where I had fucked up, because I just finished everything late at night and didn’t made a complete backup of everything.
But it seems, if luck runs out, you lose on all fronts.

At least I was able to restore everything in 20mins. Which must be some kind of record.
But I was shaking so much from the stress, that I couldn’t efficiently type anymore and was lucky to have a colleague to just calmly enter what I told him to and with that we’re able to get the show case up and running again.

Well, at least the beer afterwards tasted like the liquid of the gods

Never touch a running system
Until you have a inviting hole in your system

Nevertheless, I’m panicking every time I update my sever infrastructure…

Link has a “whttps” in there, that shouldn’t be there

Signal doesn’t provide such open and easily found chat rooms.
It’s really much more a messenger (with group chats, but those you have to manually set up)

So it’s not an “open” place like telegram and with that not as attractive for advertising illicit services or products.

besides that, Signal is the technically much more secure variant. No discussion about it.

Well, luckily all just had a talk and some tea about it and nobody died

Always those fucking left wing radicals …

I own the apartment and even a parking place, that’s my own. but just doing the cableing will cost me a few thousand Euros.
And I’m one of the lucky ones who don’t need to search through public parking slots.

Not everyone has a house…

I’m living in an apartment and charging at home is not an option. I do have a EV though and when we take a larger trip, I need to plan a bit more to charge up before the trip.
That sucks a bit, else it’s pretty great
