Pro-Palästinensische Demonstranten sollen in Berlin im Mai 2025 einen Polizisten mit der Dienstnummer 24111 "in die Menge gezogen und halb tot getrampelt" haben. Das behauptete jedenfalls die Berliner Polizei.

Videomaterial zeigt nichts dergleichen - dafür aber einen Beamten Nr. 24111 der auf Demonstrierende mit Fäusten einschlägt.

The US Navy vaccinated me against that, but that was about 50 years ago. I might need a booster.

I think that was a weakened pathogen vaccine, because it actually gave me mild symptoms, including swelling under my armpits and some fever.

I just read that the vaccine is no longer much used.

Basically, if there was a vaccine for something, we got it. There was a big swine flu outbreak in the 1970s; we got a vaccine against that too. Was this really necessary for submariners?

Italian Ceramic Tiles: The Ideal Choice for Small Apartments


 But how can you make the most of them in limited areas? With a decade of experience in the tile industry, I’m here to share why they’re ideal for small spaces and how to maximize their potential.

Designing a small apartment is like solving a complex puzzle—every piece must fit seamlessly. Over the years, I’ve collaborated with interior designers, sourced tiles from various suppliers, and witnessed the transformation of compact spaces into stylish retreats. Italian ceramic tiles have consistently been my top choice for apartments. They offer a unique blend of elegance, durability, and the ability to enhance small spaces. But how can you make the most of them in limited areas? With a decade of experience in the tile industry, I’m here to share why they’re ideal for small spaces and how to maximize their potential.

The Long-Lasting Appeal of Italian Ceramic Tiles


Italian ceramic tiles offer more than just visual appeal—they’re built to last. According to a study in the Journal of Architectural Engineering, these tiles can last up to 50 years with proper care. This longevity is a significant advantage for apartment dwellers, providing a durable, low-maintenance flooring solution that doesn’t require frequent replacements.

Moreover, these tiles are environmentally friendly. The 2024 UN Environmental Report highlighted their sustainable production, utilizing natural materials like clay and sand. Many Italian manufacturers are adopting eco-friendly practices, such as water recycling and emission reduction. When selecting tiles, look for a supplier committed to sustainability, ideally with ISO 14001 certification. It’s a small decision that has a lasting impact.

Effective Design Strategies for Small Spaces

Opt for Light and Large Tiles


One effective strategy for making small spaces feel larger is using light-colored tiles, such as creamy whites, soft beiges, or cool grays. These hues reflect light and create an illusion of spaciousness. Pair them with large tiles, such as 24x24 inches or more, to minimize grout lines and reduce visual clutter. Research from the University of Milan found that large-format tiles can make a room feel 30% less cramped, which is a game-changer in apartment living.

Keep Patterns Subtle


While bold patterns can be striking, they can overwhelm a small space. I once encountered a tiny bathroom with dramatic black-and-white zigzags that felt claustrophobic. Instead, opt for subtle designs like a muted herringbone or a textured finish that adds interest without overpowering the room. Not sure what works best? Request samples from your tiles supplier. Many offer free or low-cost samples, allowing you to experiment with different looks.

Define Zones with Tiles


In open-plan apartments, tiles can help define distinct areas without the need for walls. Use different colors or textures to delineate spaces—perhaps a slate gray for the kitchen and a warm beige for the living area. This approach creates a sense of organization and flow without compromising style.

Extend Tiles to the Walls


Don’t limit tiles to the floor. Extending Italian ceramic tiles up the walls can transform kitchens and bathrooms, creating a cohesive look and visually expanding the space. Opt for glossy finishes to enhance light reflection and achieve an airy ambiance.

Practical Considerations

Assessing the Cost


While Italian ceramic tiles may have a higher upfront cost than budget alternatives, they offer excellent value over time. A 2023 report from the National Association of Home Builders noted their low lifetime cost due to their durability and minimal maintenance needs. For apartment dwellers seeking quality without constant upkeep, they’re a wise investment.

Navigating Installation Challenges


Tiling small spaces can be tricky, with awkward corners and unexpected obstacles. Hiring a skilled installer is crucial to achieving a polished result. A reputable tiles supplier can often recommend reliable professionals. Precision is key—one misstep can disrupt the entire aesthetic.

Addressing Cold Floors


Some people find tiles cold underfoot, especially in cozy apartments. This issue can be mitigated by adding rugs or investing in underfloor heating, which is becoming increasingly popular in apartments and provides a warm, comfortable surface.

Choosing a Reliable Tiles Supplier


Not all suppliers are created equal. I’ve encountered both exceptional and lackluster ones. Choose a supplier with a strong reputation, transparency about their tile sources, and a diverse selection. The best suppliers offer extras like digital tools to visualize how tiles will look in your space—a valuable resource when every decision counts in a small apartment.

Conclusion


Italian ceramic tiles are ideal for small spaces—durable, beautiful, and environmentally friendly. Opt for light, large tiles, keep patterns subtle, and use them to define zones or extend to walls. While they may cost more initially, their longevity and ease of maintenance make them a smart investment.

Select a reliable ceramic tiles supplier Singapore who offers sustainable options and helps you envision the final result. Don’t compromise on installation; a professional finish is essential. In my experience, these tiles can transform compact apartments into inviting spaces. Whether you’re revamping a studio or updating a bathroom, they offer a timeless solution that’s both practical and stylish.

Impossible Linux things in my to-do list:

  • Fix erratically jumping mouse wheel scrolling on a Dell
  • Make a "SysRq key" work so I can do "REISUB" or something, when my computer freezes

I must have spent days (multiples of 24 hours) trying to solve these things and maybe I should just give up.

I suppose that if I had a "Linux experienced" friend by my side these could be solved in minutes, maybe?

Child labor is making a comeback in the U.S.

Several states are passing laws to weaken protections for child labor so that younger children may be gainfully employed for hours every day.

This is just one more “What century is this, again?” issue;

Yeah, we used to come in at 7 am and leave at 5 pm. The boss who came in at 9 am saw me leaving one day and asked if it was my birthday. They started providing meals to anyone still at work at 6 pm. That got some guys to stick around surfing the web until 6 to pick up their free meal and take it home for supper.

At one of their waste-of-time group meetings the management complained about workers insufficiently dedicated to making our venture capitalists rich. I'm not lying. This guy, with dollar signs in his eyes, tried to shame us by comparing our work to the sacrifice of the multimillionaires who were risking a whopping $100k for the chance to make a killing off our brains and effort.
