Multiplexer

Having just received a Fourth Advent video via messenger, in which The Count of Sesame Street counted the four burning candles, I wondered how much this is common outside of Germany.

Wikipedia tells me that the tradition also is followed in other countries nowadays, but not how much.

So:
Do you know this in your country or maybe even light some candles to count the remaining time until Christmas yourself?

Or have you never heard of it before?
Do you perhaps have any other similar countdown traditions (we e.g. also have Christmas calendars giving you a little tread every day until Christmas)?

To restore the balance, I now exchanged the yellowed sensor from the sun-exposed south side balcony with the one from the shadowy north side garden.
Should keep it more even in the long run.

Precise locations and revealing movement patterns: the mobile phone location data of millions of people in the EU is up for sale. Collected supposedly only for advertising purposes, this data can also be used for espionage. European data protection is failing – even top EU officials in Brussels are affected. The EU Commission says: ‚We are concerned.“

Bislang wohl etabliert im Oberrheingraben, jetzt auch in Franken.
Gesellt sich schön zur Asiatischen Tigermücke, die hier in der Nachbarschaft auch seit 5 Jahren eine fest etablierte Population hat...

Ich kenne die alpine Gemeinschaft in Österreich als traditionell, aber sehr offen.
Ihr verdient es echt nicht, dass Eure schönen Wanderwege mit unseren rechtsnationalen Intoleranz-Stickern zugekleistert werden.
Aber zumindest diesen hier konnte ich in mühsamer Handarbeit entfernen.

Ich bin fassungslos.
Da gibt es anscheinend wirklich organisierte Horden von Arschlöchern, die sich auf Zuruf auf komplett positive junge Menschen stürzen, mit dem einzigen Ziel, sie niederzumachen.
