Surprisingly, a ladybug hitched a ride across two days and big winds, all the way there and back. Me and my new buddy rode 550odd kilometers :)

I'm saddened by the combination of "he hasn't understood he did something wrong" and "suspended sentence". To me, the latter implies that the convicted already has paid their debt to society for their actions, while the former says otherwise

Elton John had one of those. I think it even blew smoke for some reason!

I dont have a current one, but my old Xtorm power bank was great quality, and in retrospect definitely worth the price. I don't know if they still have it, but the magnetic storage of the matching cable was a brilliant piece of design.

Ah, thanks for jogging my memory

On a quick read, I didn't see the struck motorcycles listed. Last I heard, a few years ago, was that this mainly affected motorcycles with two rear lights that are spaced apart and fairly low to the ground. I believe this is mostly true for Harleys.

The theory I recall was that this rear light configuration made the Tesla assume it was looking (remember, only cameras without depth data) at a car that was further down the road - and acceleration was safe as a result. It miscategorised the motorcycle so badly that it misjudged it's position entirely.

I don't know where they're made, but I've had good experiences with the Decathlon 15-20 euro sunglasses. Polarised at that price is a rarity! (I tend to lose/scratch/run into something with my sunnies on a yearly basis)

Thanks for the link! Too bad they're stupid expensive in comparison to my old CCAs ;(

While as a Dutchman i find your statement hilarious, they're talking about Danish here ;)

It might be a positive to a lot of people, but I don't think it belongs in uplifting news. It's a place (at least for me) to get away from all the news about death and terror across the globe

"Huge row erupts" [...] "However, this is no surprise as we knew they had XY chromosomes already" is quite a 180, especially for such a short text. Also, is their body really our collective business?

I am surprised it's called "America's celebrated work ethic" - from my (Dutch) perspective, it's notoriously terribly exploitative and bordering on dystopian for many. Is it true that people celebrate American work practices?!
