It’s the lowest-tech device that can do this with sufficiently low running costs to make it free to use. Much better than the more common infrastructure of QR codes and a server of audio files (or worse, app!)

And there are hiking trails with information panels that have this technology (the button switches narration languages or bonus tracks) for accessibility to the visually impaired built into the post. It does not need to be this big but the tall-human-sized bent pipe is an artwork by itself.

And a row of LEDs. And capacitors that last as long as the longest track so you crank it up in about 1/20 of the duration and don’t have to keep turning.

Free crank-powered jukebox. Single button switches tracks. Contrary to the title, it often also features prose, music and other location-specific audio recordings.

Adding hydrogen and oxygen, no matter the chemical bonds between them and temperature, will actually make the Sun hotter.

Also, did you know it’s way harder to reach the Sun from Earth than leave the Solar System? Orbital mechanics are insane.

That’s the thing: it’s one of the few laptops you can buy without RAM and disk (of course only usable if you have these parts already)

More countries should take a piss.

Don’t forget the Donald Duck dick pic from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight that gets brought up with every duck story (last time with the Reflecting Pool).

I already said I’m being a bit cynical. I can move it up a notch and even thank heat waves for culling old, sickly people who would otherwise keep using taxpayer-funded healthcare for a few more years.

More precisely: for the US, they only checked if the “cause of death” field on the certificate mentions heat but EU statistics compare to a model of how many deaths would have occurred without a heatwave. Of course heat makes lots of indirect deadly circumastances more likely. We don’t have recent studies on heat deaths with similar methodology to compare both regions but at least the gun death statistics are more clear-cut.

Also, this is a bit cynical but people who die to heat usually had preexisting conditions and were statistically likely to die in 10 years anyway. Meanwhile most gun deaths are young adults whose productive careers were cut short.

2 passive incomes? Yes, you can get one but for two, you need to go between the two households often enough, which requires activity on your part.

As a Czech, you already know that but the brief democratic Czecho—Slovak Federation (1989-1992) also had a “Hyphen war” (actually just an argument) where Slovakia was not content with the longest dash available and wanted an “and” in the middle, breaking grammatical rules. Greater disagreements later resulted in the countries’ peaceful dissolution on New Year’s Eve 1992.

But the languages are different enough to be distinct despite being largely mutually understandable (you can use Slovak in Czech courts to this day). This means there is no embarrassing doubling or tripling of legally required text like with Slovenian & Not Slovenian & Legally Distinct Not Slovenian.

No, it isn’t. Ducks usually have smaller eyeballs and no clothes. Their testicles are internal and the featherless penis is pink, thinner and more twisted (but can be as long as the rest of the body).

Yes, the pic is after some reflection but that’s not a big issue, it can be flipped digitally

Are you referencing the Donald Duck dick pic from John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight that gets brought up with every duck story (last time with the Reflecting Pool)?

Yes, drakes do have corkscrew penises

By the way, “US-American” is a Germanism ✌️👆

Edit: those are different brands? Idk much about American cars

I couldn’t find the elevator and the stairs were a difficult climb but the view is something to die for. ★★★☆☆
