This is the first time in a long time when I had to take a shower after reading a book.

This evening I finished second book by Saša Uhlová about low paid jobs. The first volume was about those job in Czechia, the second was about similar jobs in Germany, France and Ireland.

It was not an easy read and I hate what it tells/what's my interpretation about European societies. The most painful was reading about helping elderly people.

@redscroll @bookstodon after picking up some awful stuff, I can either let it sit with me, knowing I can do nothing about it or I can go take a shower and let those feelings flow away

Is there a book that would explain how we got from carless cities to dependence on cars under 100 years?

Is there an open source database software for books in one's library? That I could deploy on some {Fruit}Pi machine?

I'm getting to a point where I'd like something to help me manage my books.

@Rob_J @bookstodon I am looking for something that can scan ISBNs, the best description that comes to my mind is a hobby level librarian software.

@RyunoKi @Rob_J @bookstodon Besides adding/removing books from the database, I need:
1 - on which shelf that book is supposed to live
2 - find the book in database and update my reading status
3 - be able to find that book is not on the designated shelf

For all except the last the ability to scan ISBN is useful.

I don't expect that it'll have metadata ready to download, especially for European languages.

@Nodami @Rob_J @bookstodon It has about 80% of what I am looking for

@eldavi @Hazdaz I’m happy that Star Trek is big enough for a lot of people to find their favorite parts. I love all the engine room scenes in VOY

Would You Try New Pastimes If Star Trek Level Medical Care Was Available?

Star Trek’s level of medical care is far more advanced than today’s. As Beckett says in LD, “Doc will wave a light over it.” Yet, in Star Trek people aren’t shown doing hobbies and pastimes that are much different from what’s done now. Still, I wonder about differences in a society where people know they won’t be...

@Nmyownworld Probably not. That said I have a feeling that Mensur would be in again
