This is the 100 year anniversary of humans having an idea of what the heck the sun and all the stars actually are. If you had asked a leading astronomer in 1925 what the sun was, they would say that it's basically the same as Earth, but very hot.
In Cecilia Payne's doctoral thesis she was the first to say, from spectral data, that the sun was overwhelmingly made of hydrogen and helium.
It was later described as "the most brilliant PhD thesis ever written in astronomy".

US Senator Alex Padilla, California, stands up at a press conference in LA, identifies himself, and ASKS A QUESTION of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, whereupon multiple armed agents immediately grab him, throw him to the ground, handcuff him, and drag him away.

One of the most stupid notifications in Windows ever:
Windows Security
Virus & threat protection
Security scan required
Your administrator requires a security scan of this item. The scan could take up to 10 seconds.
No hint whatsoever about which "item" it is talking about. For all I know it might be a fart.
A base reminder about charlatans and their egos.
I went to a talk lately that was mostly about something else, but the speaker came out with:
âIf you only remember one thing from this talk, remember this. Everyone in this room who likes helping people, raise your hand.â
Every hand, or nearly every hand, went up.
âIf you like asking other people for help, keep your hand up.â
Almost every hand went back down.
âAs you can see, people like helping you. When you ask for help, youâre making them feel good, even if you donât like asking.â
Iâve genuinely forgotten the rest of the presentation but I wonât forget that.

Klingt wie ein Nobrainer, bis man ĂŒberlegt, dass es vielleicht Sinn machen kann, auf dem Friedhof ein Messer dabei zu haben...

@VeroniqueB99 No I won't. If I did that, my sister would tell me not to spread conspiracy theories. (That's my other sister, not his mother.)
@VeroniqueB99 my nephew is going there later this month.

@augieray so Elon is saying without him the world would be a better place?
We already knew that.
@koenigdickbauch ich habe damit kein Problem, gerade nochmal getestet.
Als mögliche Alternative teste ich derzeit Joplin, bin allerdings noch nicht so wirklich ĂŒberzeugt. Das UI ist nicht ideal, weder unter Android noch unter Windows.
