It's a fascinating example of the psychology of (face) perception. I scanned the entire image several times with no success, but literally the second I decided to turn my phone around, Kanye jumped out at me.

Well when you find a guy with an exploded face, it obviously warrants some further Investigation. I could imagine them looking for a bullet and not finding any, then investigating further. The info about him dipping his chewing gum in citric acid might have been given by friends, they also found the explosive, and from there it's not a huge jump to the explanation they found.

A bit morbid, but there's https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_unusual_deaths. Features stuff like:

Sergio Millán, 59, was alone in his apartment in Torreforta, Tarragona, Spain, when an explosion in a petrochemical plant 3 kilometres (2 mi) away launched a one-ton iron plate into the apartment above him, causing the ceiling to collapse, killing him.

or

Vladimir Likhonos, 25, a student of Kyiv Polytechnic Institute from Konotop, was killed when his chewing gum exploded. Likhonos had a habit of dipping his chewing gum in citric acid to increase the gum's sour taste. On his work table police found about 100 grams (3.5 oz) of unidentified explosive powder which he used for chemistry studies at home. It resembled citric acid, and it is thought that he confused the two, having accidentally coated his gum in the explosive powder before chewing it. The explosive was found to be four times stronger than TNT, and the explosion was possibly triggered either by reacting with Likhonos's saliva, or the pressure exerted by him chewing on the gum and explosive powder.

I'm closing in on 40 and life satisfaction has been rising consistently over the past couple of years. I think the peak is still ahead.

No idea, a capybara maybe?

I get almost all literature for my papers from libgen and scihub. I even have access to a lot or journals through my uni's VPN, but it's just much simpler and quicker to use the open seas.

My justification is that a) scientific journal publishers are evil and a scourge on humankind, and b) on average, I only need like 1% of the info in such literature, so I would never buy it anyway, which means that me pirating it doesn't affect sales in any way.

More fallout from the recent #metoo scandals in chess.

See also: the Dead Sea Scrolls. That area is great for keeping stuff safe.

My wife and I have done several trips with our two kids (born 2018 and 2020) and have never checked in anything. It's absolutely doable if you pack wisely.

Außerdem sagen er und Söder immer wieder, dass er in seiner Jugend Fehler gemacht habe. In Aiwangers Version der Flugblattgeschichte hat er aber überhaupt nichts Falsches getan: Er hat das Flugblatt nicht verfasst und hatte die Exemplare nur in der Tasche, um sie zu entfernen. Da passt inhaltlich also auch etwas gar nicht zusammen.

I have no idea what this is about but I love the meme template.
