It used to be a piggy bank and peeps from many countries had no idea what that was supposed to be....

Ich fühle mich eher als Altbiene... Nachdem Studivz erst aufkam nachdem ich schon 5 Jahre mit dem Studium fertig war kenn ich die Terminologie auch nicht.

I thought it was enough to put my cedar plank over aluminum foil and the burners to the lowest setting... luckily, I had the temperature probe in the salmon, so I noticed the flare up right away and it came out not much darker than in the picture.

Hey !food, wanna share a kitchen disaster in the comments?

A majority of judges on Brazil’s electoral court have voted to block former President Jair Bolsonaro from seeking public office for the next eight years, removing a top contender from the next presidential contest and dealing a significant blow to the country’s far-right movement.

The judges ruled that Mr. Bolsonaro had violated Brazil’s election laws when, less than three months before last year’s vote, he summoned diplomats to the presidential palace and made baseless claims that the nation’s voting systems were likely to be rigged.

Interesting to hear such things discussed at that level. Turning it off is suggested to get rid of compromised background processes that might be spying on users. Obviously, this only help against malware that isn't permanently installed on a phone.

 

Archaeologists in Bavaria made a rare find last week: during excavations in the Swabian town of Nördlingen, experts discovered a bronze sword that is more than 3,000 years old, the State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments announced Wednesday. This is so well preserved, "that it almost still shines".

It is an octagonal sword, whose octagonal handle is made entirely of bronze. According to a preliminary classification, it dates from the late 14th century BC and thus from the Middle Bronze Age, it said. Sword finds from this era are rare, they said. The experts also suspect that the find is a bronze full hilt sword, that is, a weapon that was used for fighting.

The now discovered sword comes from a grave with rich bronze grave goods. A man, a woman and a youth were buried in it. The possible relationship between the persons is still unclear.

The production of octagonal swords is complex, because the handle is cast over the blade (so-called overcasting). The decoration is made over an inlay and by means of hallmarks.

While there are two real rivets, another pair of rivets is only indicated. Despite the manufacturing effort and the lack of hilt marks, it can be assumed that it was a real weapon. The center of gravity in the front part of the blade indicates that it was balanced mainly for slashing. Made in Bavaria? It was noticed early on that there are two separate centers of distribution of the octagonal swords: on the one hand the southern German area, on the other hand northern Germany and Denmark. A comparison of casting techniques and decoration shows that some of the octagonal swords in the north appear to be copies of southern German forms, while other pieces could be genuine imports or the product of "itinerant craftsmen".

"Still the sword and the burial must be examined, so that our archaeologists can classify this find more exactly. But already now it can be said: the state of preservation is exceptional! A find like this is very rare," explains General Conservator Prof. Mathias Pfeil, head of the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Monuments.

She captures my feelings so incredibly well.

Nobody in any of the schools is saying to kids that they should be gay or trans. All they are saying is that some gay and trans people exist, deserve to live, and be treated with respect.

Arguments of people who don't afford basic respect to others do not need to be respected.

Two of my friends wanted to keep bees in an urban environment. After a lot of brainstorming the idea of an educational beehive was born. With the Plexiglas enclosure it is safely possible to come up really close to the hives.

There were many volunteers, and I was part of the 6 core people who built the structure. This was 10 years ago, and I have learned a lot about bees and even given tours to the garden and hives for elementary school groups. We just had the 10th annual bee fest. It is so rewarding to see a project have this kind of longevity and positive impact in the community. I've met a lot of people through this effort, some have turned into really good friends.

I'll stop rambling now, but happy to answer questions below :)

 

I do like glide/swipe typing. But I've noticed recently that the word I'm trying to glide is showing up as the prediction, so I lift my finger, only to find a different* word has been inserted.

*It's not a completely different word, it is compatible with my glide path, but why predict the correct word, show it to me, and then insert something else?

Any ideas on how to increase the accuracy? (just happened again: showed accuracy and inserted activity instead)

I tried to paste a screenshot into a comment and also tried to upload a PNG, both provoked an error:

client.js:2 SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'R', "Request er"... is not valid JSON

I couldn't figure out a way to get the full error without ...

Edit: thanks for the food, it's working again :)
