This Single-Celled Animal Makes Complex 'Decisions' Even Without a Nervous System (via futurism.com).
It was and is one of the most complex behaviours ever reported in a singly nucleated cell.
Why living ethically is so incredibly difficult.
Imagine you’re walking to work. You see a child drowning in a lake. You’re about to jump in and save her when you realize you’re wearing your best suit, and the rescue will end up costing hundreds in dry cleaning bills. Should you still save the child?
My thoughts would rather be: will I really be able to save the child?
Movies I have watched.
Wired: Everything Beautiful Is Far Away.
Tired: Finsterworld.
Rätselhafter Film; rätselhaft, wieso er von der Kritik so überschwänglich gelobt wird, und dann besonders die hölzernen Dialoge unglaubwürdigen Schauspiels. Nur die Süddeutsche weicht aus dem Reigen der deutschsprachigen Lobhudelei ab:
Stattdessen richtet sich Finsterwalder an der Episodenstruktur eines Robert Altman aus, dem meistüberschätzten Regisseur der Filmgeschichte, dessen Filme in ihrer sinnlosen Komplexität vor allem die Intelligenz ihres Autors demonstrieren.

So there is something not quite right with my current Apache setup and HTTP/2:
Dec 1 15:44:14 zicke kernel: [776008.255216] apache2[13038]: segfault at 1 ip 00007fcb80f95646 sp 00007fcb66767798 error 4 in libc-2.27.so[7fcb80ee4000+1e7000]
