So... That was quite a surprise, here's the link to the statistics: Link

188 fatalities out of nearly 24k accidents don't qualify as 'most cases end deadly'. I don't want to speculate as to how someone can misread a statistic that significantly while writing an article for a public service news site. But the damage of such false narratives is considerable.

took two images with different exposure, overlayed them in gimp and used a mask to bring the cloud reflections from the darker shot into the lighter image of the island, no further editing

So something pissing me off is websites like lusha or dropcontact who use AI to give their customers your mail address if they only enter your name (which they get from LinkedIn, your company's website,...).

Our mailaddresses have the most basic format of firstname.lastname@company.com

So after threatening another one of those nuisances with a GDPR complaint, it got me thinking that this will become the new normal. We will have to live with it that someone tries to guess our mailadress instead of getting them from some shitty address dealer.

An idea to get rid of the problem in the future would be to add a random secret to work mail addresses, like

Firstname.lastname.secret@company.com Where the secret could be anything consisting of several letters. That way you can ensure that only people who you shared your contact details have your mailadress. What's your thoughts?

Increased the structure of the water, darkened the highlights to reduce over exposure of the boats. The shot was a bit tricky, I wanted to go higher up but it's in the outer controlled airspace of an airport which restricts altitude to 50m AGL

The color of the water is just incredible. I added some Vignette and increased the structure of the image to bring out the little eddies made by the oars. Additionally I darkened the boat as it was overexposed. No further editing, no playing with colors or saturation. Still - pretty sure the dji drone already does some post processing before I get to see the image...

Added some lens blur to create a better focus, desaturated a bit and added more contrast

This image is edited to a slight degree. Cut, framed, and and I touched up the sky a bit, because I was too late to capture the perfect moment and it was already growing darker again

Didn't do any editing, came out of the camera like that. But dji already does quite heavy editing. The problem is that the raw format in which they save the file is AFAIK only fully implemented by Photoshop, so working with jpegs it is...

The cave's interior is out of a story book, with stalactites, stalacmites and gigantic round dripstones, cathedral like openings, waterfalls and tight spots to dive and press through. Was a real adventure

Random trivia: Showing the swastika is a crime in Germany. The Neonazis tried to use that to shut down a shop selling stickers the swastika being thrown in a trashcan. They lost fabulously

Well.. I wouldn't be a fool of a Took if I did everything right would I?

took this image 2 years ago when being there on holiday. We went back last year, to enjoy the absolutely beautiful nature scene in which we found the salamander, only to see it having become a construction site for a new road...

It's so nice to see another being of culture :)

Drone pilot from Germany here, they have no place hovering over your property, more strictly even they're not allowed to fly in any way that allows them to view your garden from above. You can shoot down the drone and it's their problem note that this is in Germany not the US (which surprised me tbh).

However, that said, could be that it's the same pilot again and again, even if it's different birds. Normally they are very cooperative, just ask them to stop and they'll apologize for any inconvenience caused.

It baffles me how short lived the memory of people is. The whole affair around Gorch Fock should have made a persona non grata, especially after blatantly refusing any collaboration with the authorities (very convenient that all the incriminating chats were deleted and she can't remember a thing anymore...). On the other hand, looking at the SPD and Scholz' appearance for the Warburg Bank investigation was not any better.

Does that mean "any" person? So all police officers that broke the freedom of speech ammendment have to do 6 months of community service as well? And those nut jobs that attacked peaceful protest camps and clubbed students over the head?

  1. Keep it turned off.
  2. If you are good with tools and know how to hard solder, dismantle the housing, find the leak and close it. Once closed, run the fridge for an hour or two standing freely in the room and check whether it works properly. By the amount of cooling you found it can well be a goner.
  3. For your food get another fridge off FB marketplace, Craigslist or whatever else people in your region use to sell used stuff locally. You can often get them for free. In case you manage to repair your fridge/get it repaired it's probably gone again as easy as you got it.
  4. Keep the room well ventilated, coolants often becomes a gas at room temperature, so you won't find much liquid residue of the actual coolant. Also they don't smell. They are not dangerous to you imminently AFAIK (only really bad for the environment) but nobody likes breathing industrial chemical agents :)
  5. Refilling a fridge with new coolant requires a professional, there's some tricks and special pumps involved to get something that is a gas at room temperature into those pipes and also to get any air out of them. If it's necessary to refill, don't try on your own.

Wanted to come here and point out the third option: suffer from pollen allergies and just die when you get beat that field. Then I saw all the comments about people not frolicking, so I'll take my histamin blockers and jump with you in that field :)
