This looks absolutely terrible, but to each their own.

After a duel, it is common for two male giraffes to caress and court each other. Such interactions between males have been found to be more frequent than heterosexual coupling. In one study, up to 94 percent of observed mounting incidents took place between males. The proportion of same-sex activities varied from 30 to 75 percent. Only one percent of same-sex mounting incidents occurred between females.

This is comically stupid

The Tiger gained the dubious distinction of being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down. On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm (0.79 in) cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the trajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, they ultimately crossed paths with the Tiger as it continued its descent, disabling the aircraft and forcing Attridge to crash-land the aircraft; he survived with a broken leg and multiple broken vertebrae.

I think just saying that it hit itself due to its high speed doesn‘t really tell the whole story.

Die Bundesnetzagentur steht nach eigenen Angaben im Austausch mit den Netzbetreibern. Die Zubauzahlen haben sich der Behörde zufolge zwischen 2021 und 2023 vervierfacht. Bemerkenswert sei, dass die befragten Netzbetreiber es geschafft hätten, die Bearbeitungszeiten ungefähr konstant zu halten, sagte ein Sprecher. Das vom Bundeswirtschaftsministerium auf den Weg gebrachte Solarpaket werde weitere Erleichterungen bringen. "Wir sind optimistisch, dass die Bearbeitungsdauer kein dauerhaftes Problem bleiben wird."

Man mag es kaum glauben, aber hinter der Headline steht ne positive Entwicklung.

And that is fine. I personally thought it was okay. But it appeared to me that a lot of people had the sentiment that this was the first movie that ever “gets them”.

It doesn’t have to be. There’s enough movies that depict isolation, loneliness, and outsiderism. But since this was coming from a supervillain franchise it seemed that a certain demographic suddenly stumbled into more serious topics processed through a movie with a familiar theme while they could have had that all along, just without the theme, but based in reality and executed better.

Edit: clarification

He did not invent the modern computer but contributed significantly to the modern theory of computation. There is no single person who invented the computer, it was a collective effort over decades, if not centuries, ref. Leibniz, Lovelace, Bool, von Neumann, Weizenbaum, and many more.

It’s a herb, Waldmeister in German. Very specific aroma, I love it.

Off-topic: If the top comment is exactly the additional detail I wanted to know about I have an old school Reddit moment, in the very best way.
