So I am looking for a mechanical keyboard that is quiet enough for an office setting. The one I have now is way too loud, even though it was advertised as being quiet. 
Anyone have any recommendations for one that is really quiet?

Wahdyasay? I can't hear you over my own keyboard. I get complaints about it from down the block.

Yeah, my keyboard caused someone to emerge from his office to see what was making all that racket.

My Das 5QS isn't particularly loud. It's mechanical though, so there's that. It's certainly noisier than the more common membrane keyboards.
Can you upgrade or replace your coworkers with a more noise tolerant variety?

This is a follow up to my earlier post about Dutch truck drivers[^].
I just want to say that the Germans and Belgians are definitely better drivers than the Dutch. Driving the German autobahn was actually quite a pleasant experience. I found that while some cars go crazy fast, most are quite respectable and go a decent speed. And even the crazy fast ones will slow down and keep their distance when they caught up to me if I happened to be passing another vehicle, and would wait till I cleared the fast lane before accelerating off. All in all, a very pleasant experience. That is until I got back into the Netherlands, what a gong show that countries drivers are.
It's good to home again.

The German police seems to think so too, after returning from my holiday in the Mosel region I got a fine for speeding near Aachen 
Luckily they did not notice my driving on pavements 
modified 10hrs 5mins ago.

My only fine so far has also been from Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. I believe I was going 4 over the limit or something not to ridiculous. If I remember right, it was EUR 30.

You should try Mexico.
In Mexico hazard signals mean "I'm about to do something profoundly stupid with my car, so watch out"

They do that in Quebec. Only, they don't bother using their signals to warn you ahead of time.
Especially when they see a car with Ontario plates.

I usually listen to podcasts while driving (I have an hour drive to my workplace), using the Android mirroring from my mobile phone to the car, and Google podcast.
Today, it vanished from the app list. I thought of a bug but Google has actually shut down the service - or moved it to youtube music, which means the same.
Any recommendation of a good podcasting app ? Google podcast was light-weighted, had one ad every other month and very well integrated in my car media system. My gut feeling tells me that youtube music is clucked with advertisement, and being based on a video streaming app, not necessarily the most light-weighted thing in the world.

I listen to Star Talk on spotify and it has worked really well. Most podcasts are available there.

I use Spotify for music and all podcasts. I pay for it to avoid ADS. I think you can get all podcasts for free, if you endure those ads. Have no idea how intrusive they are, if they've done it well we ads are short.
