  belated #3GoodThings for yesterday - next iteration of potatoes in #airfryer was a lot better (bigger pieces) - quality time with my favorite person - working from home, as opposed to Monday being my usual office day #threeGoodThings

  - potato experiment in the #airfryer (thank you, to those who replied) has the potential to become something I could do regularly while working - managed to have #Gelbi bathed - postponing shower to the next day reduced the stress about remaining chores a tiny bit compared to a usual Sunday (sigh) #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings

  There is one I won't tell you about, but I've still found #3GoodThings for yesterday: - a bit more energy than on the previews Saturdays - managed to clean up the old #WikiTree profile of my great-grandfather Joseph #Zähringer https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Z%C3%A4hringer-31 - wrote an email to our local adult education center ( #Volkshochschule), asking them, if they are as democracy supporting as they claim and would post on #Mastodon (additionally to Meta platforms) #ThreeGoodThings

  Does anyone have a #recipe for country potatoes in the #airfryer, that is not extra verbose and AI generated, like everything else I found so far? #cooking #Foodfön

  Trotz Juli-Urlaubspause bei @funfacts wurden in den letzten Tagen zwei Fokus-Folgen veröffentlicht, in denen Betroffene zu Wort kommen, um ihre Sicht der Dinge darzulegen. #BurakYilmaz erklärt in https://tube.funfacts.de/w/8tMiXEJAgoS2FVNUPF5xme #Kurdistan, während #TahsinMirza in https://tube.funfacts.de/w/fcXBsvykDk5bKZUjwQyuuY von seiner Flucht und dem Leben danach in Deutschland berichtet. Beides hat meinen Horizont erweitert, danke dafür! #FunFacts #WirSchaffenDas #Flüchtlinge

  Today's (quite belated) #grandma recording mainly talked again about her aunt Sophie https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Steurenthaler-54, for whom grandma was working during her mandatory social year, when Sophie learned that her husband had died in #WorldWar2 in August 1944. It completely crushed her aunt: She cried for the whole winter. Grandma still got furious about her, when she told me about those days. Grandma got worried about getting married herself one day. She swore herself, that s...

  Zum #DigitalIndependenceDay am Sonntag habe ich heute endlich den Browser "im Büro" auf #Ecosia als Standardsuchmaschine umgestellt. Für Notfälle habe ich immer noch "#Google ohne KI" hinter einem Schlüsselwort hinterlegt, aber der Großteil der Anfragen ist sicher auch problemlos über Ecosia möglich. Privat nutze ich Ecosia schon lange, greife in Härtefällen aber immer wieder auf Google zurück. Zudem ist #GoogleBooks gefühlt alternativlos (wenn auch teilweise...

  - after brushing teeth together and him bathing, there was a long cuddle with #Gelbi, where he sat on my knee and leaned on my hand while drying - did some coding to improve #WikiTreeBEE's handling of #Wikipedia redirects when searching locations at #Wikidata - managed to cut off some annoying branches from a plant near our outside stairs #WikiTree #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #Birb #BirdsOfMastodon #QuakerParrot #MonkParakeet #Parrot

  Today, the #grandma recordings were a real struggle, I'm tired and sweating, my neck itches from small hairs after having my hair cut some minutes ago. The first record was only three minutes and not particularly special. The second one revisited the story of Kunigunde #Schindler's revolver (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Schindler-1413#Revolver for details). I stopped after the mandatory about 100 lines, because the second recording is almost an hour long. Let's hope...

  I completed transcribing the almost 1 hour long #grandma recording today. One part contained her telling that she saw St. Petersburg (Russia), Finland, Sweden,, Norway, England, Scotland and France and that she is happy, with what she saw during her life (and with her life in general, despite all the hardships). It's always inspiring to be able to listen to that. I hope, I will be able to take a bit of that optimism with me, for when I'm older. #genealogy

  I really really enjoyed the first two seasons of #XOKitty in the last days, but so far #XOKittySaison3 is really annoying with so many "villains" and difficult situations. It feels like the show lost something. It's still far from the train wreck of #SexEducation season 4, but still a bit annoying to watch at times.

  Today's belated #grandma recording contained the first mention grandma's grandma's photo album. She said, it's still in family possession, but when I asked the relative, whose mother reportedly still had it, he told me, that there is no album that matches the description. What a pity, because it apparently contained the only photo of painter Frank #Buchser, the reported father of grandma's grandma. It would have been a tiny bit of proof rather than stories...

  Belated #3GoodThings: - started a political discussion with a younger person that might turn interesting in the next days - found a source that kind of proves the origin of my 9th great-grandmother Maria Bank https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Bank-311, which allowed me to create her father and also connect that one to her brother Gallus Bank, my 8h great-grandfather on another line - had an unexpected encounter with an old friend Bonus: Schnitzel with napkin dumplings at the company restaurant was...

  - re-heating #Käsespätzle in a pan instead of the microwave is a game changer (even if the microwave has #Panacrunch!) - threw some laws and a court decision at an institution which doesn't want to give me documents about my ancestors - saw the dispensation from church for great-grandparents' wedding: justification for marrying their second cousin was "small place" and "woman is rather old" #3GoodThings #ThreeGoodThings #genealogy

• Post #2129420

  - a former work colleague returned to the company after working somewhere else for six years - saw documentation of dispensation my great-grandparents received when they got married in 1926 as second cousins: it was justified with them living in a small place and advanced age for marriage - she was 31, he was 39. - me and my imaginary dog didn't get as wet on our evening walk as we did yesterday #ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings #genealogy

  After spending nearly the whole #April2026ConnectAThon in #Münstertal, I had to type the words Obermünstertal and Untermünstertal A LOT. Only now, two weeks later, I remembered that I could add the shortcuts "omt" and "umt" into the Auto Text Expander browser extension. That would have saved soooo many keystrokes. But it will save them now! Let's hope there are not that many words containing "omt" or "umt" ... #Wiki...

  Yet another very belated #grandma recording. Key take-away is probably, that she told the story, on how her dad hit someone with a garden fence post (probably a drunken fight that got out of control) and that one lost his eye/sight. Then grandma says, that she told her sister, that children often pay for their parents' sins. Grandma had sight problems for more than the last decade of her life … #genealogy

  Today's very belated #grandma recording showed how quick-witted ("schlagfertig") her Marie Schindler grandma had been. Once, people from town-hall asked her, what she feeds the chickens (it was post-war time and resources were scarce). She swiftly replied: "I double their wage, but for the food, they must look after by themselves". Why listening to the recording, I discovered, that the forester which employed Marie as a maidservant, actually was marri...

  RE: https://freiburg.social/@ebbesand/115753532378692491 Mit dieser vierteiligen Arte-Doku habe ich dieses Wochenende die gesamte Hausarbeit erledigt. Schon krass, wie lange sich manche "Behauptungen" schon halten. Ein paar französische Passagen sind leider nur mit Untertiteln, was das reine Hörerlebnis etwas einschränkt, aber insgesamt: absolute Empfehlung! #Doku #Arte #Antisemitismus

  Heute erster Einkauf mit der #Yuka-App: Einfach den EAN-Code vom Produkt zu scannen und eine Ampelbewertung dafür zu bekommen, ist schon deutlich komfortabler, als alles selbst zu vergleichen. Dabei ist mir aufgefallen, dass #Exquisa Balance deutlich besser abschneidet, als #Philadelphia Balance und dass nur die Riegel von #yfood halbwegs in Ordnung sind (abgesehen von Salty Caramel), die Konkurrenz aber deutlich schlechter bewertet wird. #Haushalt #Einkauf #Lebensmittel
