What's up at home today...?

I just made an ashtray for my car...modern cars don't have them anymore.Well mine has a very small one but I use it for parking change.
Just a small soup can, spray painted black, it fits perfectly in a cup holder. I ordered an "official one" but since it is coming from China it may take a few weeks. This is typical NL creativity



Edit: now also comes with a lid

Classy!

weather here = way too warm

this might lead to...

well guys, looks if t’s up to me to decide… if there will be still the death penalty in my state of Germany… not my own decision of course, I’m just one of millions of voters. It’s anachronistic and meaningless indeed, because federal law breaks it all; there is no death penalty in Germany, so why do they make such fudge about it?

If we think about it, it means that even if a judge in let’s say Frankfurt would condemn a convict to death, his smart lawyer would say “your honor, that won’t work.”
So ok let’s kick it from the constitution of this state of Germany, or leave it for nostalgia? What’s wrong with my country?

Death penalty is for the middle ages. Anyone can build a number of n arguments
proving that it would be "fair". That doesn't mean they are right.

Btw, are you talking about Turkey or Germany?

Chapter 74 of the Tao Te Ching

When people are not threatened by death,
Why intimidate them with death?
One who causes the people to be constantly threatened by death,
And bewitched with bewilderments, must be seized and executed,
Who dares?
Usually there are executioners who executes,
But those who assume the executioner's job to execute,
Is said to be like assuming the carpenter's job to carve wood.
Those who assume the carpenter's job to carve wood,
Seldom avoid hurting their hands.
