As an ex musician I lost about half my hearing on both sides. When there's multiple people speaking in the same room, too loud background music / other sounds or when people talk to me from the next room, I won't be able to understand a single word.

Also my bones got the density of dry wall due to an illness and many kinds of physical activities can be outright dangerous for me. I broke one of my ribs about a week ago carrying a box upstairs to my new gaff. Slightly bumped it in my side on the banister. Big ouch.

About 2 years ago I got diagnosed with a very bad case of osteoporosis. I'm 37 now and my bones are shockingly fragile. Saturday I moved to a new gaff, carrying a box upstairs, slightly bumping the box into my side on the banister. I felt how one of my ribs broke.

It is super annoying. Meds can't really fix it though since other meds for another condition are likely causing the low bone density. I don't know how many years this will take off my life expectancy or when I'll have to start using crutches.

'Faith of the heart' from the Enterprise intro. It's a fairly controversial topic among Trekkies.

Radio plays are not exclusive to Germany, but their popularity in Germany is 2nd to none. In Great Britain, The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy (Per Anhalter durch die Galaxis) started out as a radio play on BBC before it was published as a book.

The three investigators were continued in Germany only. It's still a huge thing thanks to the radio plays. The first ones were released in 1979 based on the original English novels. After the series was discontinued in the States, German writers took over and published new books. With the radio plays we're now at episode 250 with the original voice actors from back in the day who are now in their 50s / 60s.
