In 1930, László Bíró, a Hungarian-Argentine inventor observed children playing with marbles in a puddle, noticing that the marbles left a trail of water in their wake. Inspired by this observation, he conceived of a mechanism for a pen that used a ball-shaped metal nib to place ink onto a page.

A ballpoint pen is widely referred to as a "biro" in many countries, including the UK, Ireland, Australia and Italy. Although the word is a registered trademark, in some countries it has become genericised.

> This is a list of units of measurement based on human body parts or the attributes and abilities of humans (anthropometric units). It does not include derived units further unless they are also themselves human-based. These units are thus considered to be human scale and anthropocentric. A cross-cultural review of body-based measurement systems has found such units to be ubiquitous worldwide.

riseUp is slow. free vpn of Proton, depending on traffic and your exit, is a lot faster. Proton proved themselves to be trustable.
you can always upgrade to their paid service to have more options and servers, if you like. You can download your configurations to use your choice of addOn, app, software
mullVpn also is considerable, if you're going to pay (i don't use it but I've heard/read only + views
i use tor and orbot regularly. There, sadly, are too many sites that block them by default :/

i would like to write "this has nothing to do with cars, that SUV driver was sick" but i don't know what possesses relatively peaceful people to act like maniacs once they start driving.
Would a 52 year old man walking in Paris try to kill a 27 year old he doesn't even know, if they were both walking and he just wanted to walk faster?
i did what Paul did so many times to remind a driver that i am not just an obstacle on the road but another human. I stood before cars or sometimes buses to look the driver in the eye and say "now we see each other, be careful". I'm still alive, Paul is dead. 🤷
Would Paul go down under if the car wasn't a SUV?
Does that maniac know why he bought a SUV instead of a "reasonable" car?
Recently they started physically separating bike lanes in France, because a line on the road doesn't mean shit to an entitled dipshit. Bike lanes are just more space for their urban tanks.

> Abya Yala (from the Kuna language: 'Abiayala', meaning "mature land") is a neologism used by some indigenous peoples of the Americas to refer to the American continent. The term is used by some indigenous organisations, institutions, and movements as a symbol of identity and respect for the land one inhabits. The increasing usage of the term can be viewed in the context of decolonization, as it serves to create an understanding that "land and discourse, territorio y palabra, cannot be disjointed" and a geography in which a struggle for sovereignty and resistance occurs on an everyday basis for Indigenous communities.

> Cryptozoology is a pseudoscience and subculture that searches for and studies unknown, legendary, or extinct animals whose present existence is disputed or unsubstantiated, particularly those popular in folklore, such as Bigfoot, the Loch Ness Monster, Yeti, the chupacabra, the Jersey Devil, or the Mokele-mbembe. Cryptozoologists refer to these entities as cryptids, a term coined by the subculture. Because it does not follow the scientific method, cryptozoology is considered a pseudoscience by mainstream science: it is neither a branch of zoology nor of folklore studies.

> The squatters quickly declared the base in the middle of the city “a politically autonomous anarchist zone.” Or, in plainer English, a commune. Taking a cue from the surrounding “Christian’s Harbor” neighborhood, they called it “Christiania.” > Like many other communes, Christiania’s founders wanted the new world they made within the walls to be as free as possible from all the old world’s rules and customs and hierarchies. They drew up a mission statement, according to which the goal of the commune was quote “to create a self-governing society whereby each and every individual holds themselves responsible for the well-being of the entire community.”

i thought the community was about "cursed ai", and the deleted image was cursed alright. Ambiguity isn't enough of a reason to delete an image. It may resemble this or that, and that's the point. Disturbingly close but not. Uncanny but not explicit. If cursedAI can't handle a little bit of a curse, why even bother
