My article about a German computer scientist’s unfair rant about aikidō (合気道) got already two follow-ups. Yet I’m not finished with it. The rant was as long as it was stupid. It hence would deserve to get ignored, but if I ignored it, other readers still would believe what the computer scientist tells about aikidō (合気道). […]

Virtus is asteroid #494 and also known as 1902 JV. Virtus is of the type C or Ch. Virtus’ orbit is characterized by a semi-major axis of 2.99 Astronomical Units, an eccentricity of 0.06, a period of revolution of 1 887 days, and an inclination of 7.1 degrees. Virtus was discovered by the German (from […]

The computer scientist, whose blog (in German) I sometimes use as a source, repeatedly tells an anecdote about a discussion with somebody, who he calls a Socialist. This other guy advocated for a week of thirty-five working hours with full compensatory wage increases. He shall have looked fearful when the computer scientist wanted to look […]

On March, 11th in each year since 2010 is the World Plumbing Day. The World Plumbing Council decided so. Hence this fancy holiday seems to be not too special or not too important. But I can only advise y’all: Take care of the tubing of your house and know where to find a plumber! I […]

I had a quite long time been looking for ‘The Yamasaki Technique’, but searched in vain. While writing the previous article, I did read through the Japanese-speaking part of the Wikipedia in order to see whether it has some additional pieces of information on the anime series Kenichi – The Mightiest Disciple. The Japanese-speaking part […]

On March, 10th in each year is the USA’s National Skirt Day. The background of this fancy holiday is mysterious and some of the theories about it would rather make it an international or a European fancy holiday. Most of the theories on the background of the USA’s National Skirt Day would make this fancy […]

I again have to come back to the German computer scientist’s rant about aikidō (合気道) because I only afterwards noticed the colorful belts in the linked X-Twitter post. Colorful belts for the low ranks and hakama (the black piece of cloth over the pants) for the high ranks hints to yōshinkan (養神館)! My style and […]

When Ruth Handler was on a trip through Europe in the 1950s, she in Switzerland bought a doll for her daughter Barbara. The doll had the name Lilli and was available at least in German-speaking countries, but not easily in the USA. So Ruth Handler, her husband Elliott, and their friend Harold “Matt” Matson decided […]

I have to come back to the German computer scientist’s rant about aikidō (合気道) because his rant was much longer. It included fantasizing about what a fight between a karateka (空手家) and an aikidōka (合気道家) or between a Jūdōka (柔道家) and an aikidōka (合気道家) would look like. Aikidōka (合気道家) would for the sake of looking […]

I sometimes use the blog of a German computer scientist as a source for my own blog. The German computer scientist in last month unfairly ranted about aikidō (合気道). He did so after watching a video, which somebody else had posted on X-Twitter: https://x.com/JebraFaushay/status/1888720018189221943 ( pic.twitter.com/9LEwgY2UcK ) The problem seems to be a kind of […]
