It's simply become mega lucrative. Romantasy is selling like crazy right now - especially with younger readers and especially in the self-publishing space. Authors see that books like "A Court of Tho…

Really depends on what direction you want to go - crime, family, fantasy, whatever. But a few names that are interesting right now: Nora Krug wrote a powerful graphic memoir with "Belonging" that, ev…

The key thing right now is not giving up too early - but also not just waiting around doing nothing. With the rainy days, your lawn will get water again, which obviously helps. Still, I'd actively he…

For beginners, I'd recommend Google Home or Alexa over Apple HomeKit. The reason: they're just cheaper to get started with and you'll find way more compatible devices for them. With Apple you often p…

For daily consumption, I'd honestly just go with the discount brands. The mineral content is regulated across the board, and your body won't notice the difference between 50-cent and 3-euro water. Th…

Skip the gaming laptops from supermarkets or the expensive brand models that salespeople try to push on you - they usually have terrible value for money. Instead, look at specialized brands like ASUS…

the problem could also be on your device itself, not just the wifi. if telekom checked the line and it's ok, then you need to see if your phone or laptop is downloading something in the background. w…

For people living alone with low hot water consumption, an instantaneous water heater almost always pays off. The decisive point: a storage tank continuously loses heat, even when you don't need hot …

if you've made it through fitzek, i'd really recommend checking out valentina cebotari's books. she writes psychological thrillers that genuinely won't let you go - similar to fitzek, but with a slig…

Don't count on some oil automatically boosting your immune system in autumn. That's just not how our body works. Black seed oil has shown some anti-inflammatory effects in studies, but "strengthening…

Don't just go for the "biggest ROI" - that's the wrong approach. Sure, Mandarin or Spanish sound attractive, but if you don't have a real connection to the language, you'll quit after two months. I s…

Don't put them in the washing machine under any circumstances, and don't use bleach either - it destroys the materials and makes the sole brittle. Water that's too hot isn't ideal either. What reall…

Put LinkedIn in, but with a condition: your profile actually needs to be well-maintained. That's the trap a lot of people miss - they put the URL in and the recruiter clicks on it and finds a profile…

It really depends on how long the gap is and how you're doing now. For a few months, honestly I'd say: you don't have to explain anything at all. Just put down a reason like "Health reasons" or "Pers…

An impact drill with hammer function simply doesn't completely replace a proper impact drill - that's an important difference a lot of people miss. An impact drill has totally different mechanics: it…

With most budget airlines, you end up paying almost the same as regular airlines anyway once you factor in all the fees. The hidden costs are just brutal - baggage, seat selection, online check-in, f…

Both models already give you pretty similar performance for gaming. The LG C4 has a tiny advantage in input lag, but we're talking about differences in the single-digit millisecond range - you won't …

Costumes are actually much older and more diverse than many people think - it's not just about Bavaria and dirndls. The differences mainly come from the fact that each region had different materials …

The thing is, with big logos you just need a bit of restraint with everything else. The others are right about neutral and simple, but what often gets overlooked: the color of the logo itself should …

One to two pages is basically the standard, no matter how much experience you have. Sure, with several years on the job and continuing education, it gets packed pretty quick, but recruiters scan that…
