Bangladesh ist außerdem eines der Länder mit der höchsten Bevölkerungsdichte. Wenn man Stadt- und Kleinstaaten mal außen vorlässt, das bevölkerungsdichteste.

170 Mio. Einwohner und bei einem Anstieg des Meeresspiegels um 1m werden 10% des Landes geflutet. Das ist eine riesige Katastrophe. Aber solange die Klamottenfabriken noch nicht geflutet werden, ist es uns hier noch egal.

Edit: Missverständlichen Satz verbessert

People also wore clothes made out of natural fibres which stink a lot less than artificial fibres. Let a slightly smelly woollen shirt air outside overnight and it's as good as new the next day.

Also, undergarments with full body coverage were not just for modesty, they wicked away the sweat from the body and kept the outer garments clean for longer.

While Ada Lovelace did not actually help inventing the Analytical Engine, she was arguably a greater visionary than Charles Babbage, who, as I understand it, mostly thought of it in terms of calculations.

This is what she wrote in 1842, one hundred years before the first general purpose computer was actually built (Babbage's Analytical Engine was never built):

[The Analytical Engine] might act upon other things besides number, were objects found whose mutual fundamental relations could be expressed by those of the abstract science of operations, and which should be also susceptible of adaptations to the action of the operating notation and mechanism of the engine...Supposing, for instance, that the fundamental relations of pitched sounds in the science of harmony and of musical composition were susceptible of such expression and adaptations, the engine might compose elaborate and scientific pieces of music of any degree of complexity or extent.

Here's a video where Abby Cox makes what I think is a good argument that the pads were actually just a made up legend exaggerating the fact that the changing fashion indeed created a pregnant look.

Funnily enough, the word umbrella derives from the Latin word umbra, meaning shadow. An Umbrella was originally for protection against the sun. I know it now usually is used for the thing protecting you from rain (at least in English), I just thought it was funny that people did walk around with what they called an umbrella when it's bright and sunny for a few hundred years.

Schließlich dienen solche Gespräche dazu, das Gegenüber einzuschätzen.

Dieses. Ich bin ja echt auch nicht die Smalltalk-Königin, aber gerade bei der Arbeit finde ich das super wichtig.

So weiß ich genau, dass ich bei Kollegin A am schnellsten eine Antwort bekomme, wenn ich direkt zum Punkt komme ohne Geplänkel, Kollege B aber eher eine ausführliche Erklärung braucht und Kollege C leicht eingeschnappt ist und sich Zeit lässt, wenn man keine Höflichkeitsfloskeln drumrumbaut.

Ich arbeite eng mit einer Kollegin an einem anderen Standort zusammen und unsere Kommunikation ist so viel effizienter geworden, seit wir uns mal bei einem Workshop persönlich getroffen haben und uns gegenseitig besser einschätzen können.
