You ever hear a fact that utterly blows your mind? That would be impossible to believe if there weren't photographic evidence?

Saturn's rings can be counted like rings on a treestump. They tell the story of the entire Saturn system's history.

What's more, they aren't rings, they are spirals. The gravitational mechanics of Saturn's rings work similarly to galactic arms, only wound more tightly.

The density waves that are formed by "shepherd moons" aren't one-directional, either. In one of the pics attached, the gravitational wake of the moon Daphnis can be seen throwing up waves perpendicular to the plane of the rings.

Wow, Exchange Sounds like MS Exchange.
I hope you will get all of these special protocols done and we can finally have a good out of the box drop in replacement for Servers that disable IMAP.
Owl and other extensions were a must have before.
I am looking forward to more protocol support in TB. If it works well, this will be a cause for a higher donation this year 🥳

Procházím seznam přihlášených přednášek na letošní #InstallFest a mám velkou radost jednak z velkého počtu skutečně instalačních a začátečnických přednášek ale i z nepochybně skvělých příspěvků od „obvyklých podezřelých“.

Těším se moc!

OnePlus 12 Review accessibleandroid.com/oneplus-… #Android #accessibility #OnePlus

This should be a viral national story in #US. After this team unanimously unionized, Google refused to come to the bargaining table.

A resolution supporting the workers was brought to the city council. The day the workers showed up to testify on the resolution, Google laid off the entire team.

This was the precise instant when YouTube Music employees became aware that we had lost our jobs, as we were addressing the City Council.

byť na mne tam ten pruh nie je. Je síce pravda že je od jesene a bola zima ale jeho vyťaženie teda moc nevidím. Ďalej tam stávali autobusy s turistami a prúdili odtiaľ cez Hviezdko (s miernou nadsázkou, moje peniaze). Pribudli/nú ďalšie semafory pod novými bytmi, ja ako nejazdím ale podľa mňa to tam bude drhnúť ešte viac...

Je pravda, že to nie je ideálne vyriešené, ale iná cesta nie je. Ak sa nebudú rozširovať alternatívy, budú sa rozširovať suburby a zväčšovať vzdialenosti na dochádzanie. Áut v meste tým pádom bude pribúdať, a ak sa s tým niečo neurobí, budeme potom v budúcnosti nariekať, že nie je dosť miesta pre ďalší pruh/parkovisko.
in reply to SuspiciousDuck

Vyťažený nie je veľmi práve preto, že ľudia nie sú na cyklodporavu zvyknutí, a nevedia sa zatiaľ bezpečne dopraviť do všetkých častí mesta. V Trnave je už aspoň aká-taká kostrová infraštruktúra, a vyťaženosť sa zvyšuje s pridávaním nových úsekov. Úprimne, aj ja by som sa bál dnes na väčšine ciest v Bratislave ísť na bicykli. Pokiaľ to nebude bezpečné pre deti / starších ľudí / bežné dochádzanie, cyklochodníky nebudú veľmi využívané.

¿Los desórdenes públicos del barrio de Gamonal, cuya finalidad era obligar al Ayuntamiento a reconsiderar una decisión política serían terrorismo? ¿Un ciberataque a la web de un Ministerio, o a la Junta Electoral Central sería terrorismo? ¿Sería terrorismo publicar una lista de defraudadores fiscales, cometiendo el delito de revelación de secretos del artículo 197 del Código Penal con la finalidad de desestabilizar gravemente las estructuras económicas?

in reply to Almeida

Que el asesinato, las torturas, el secuestro y la extorsión con fines políticos deben ser castigados como terrorismo nadie lo pondría en duda. Mucho más discutible es incluir como terrorismo los desórdenes públicos o delitos informáticos, en función de la finalidad. Si en una protesta social, en la calle o en internet, se producen excesos y se cometen delitos, estos deben ser perseguidos, pero considerarlos terrorismo puede suponer criminalizar como delito grave cualquier tipo de protesta social

Fico

in reply to Peter Hanecak

Fico, starnutie populacie, klimaticka kriza

p.s.: Dnesny #NewsFilter #DenníkN je aj o #ClimateCrisis aj starnutiu populacie:

1) Zakvitli vám ovocné stromy? Nie ste v tom sami
2) Bratislava bude v roku 2050 mestom šesťdesiatnikov

dennikn.sk/3860744/newsfilter-…

A potom nepriamo aj o tom, ako ani to prve, ani to druhe, nie je "politickou prioritou". O.i. lebo #Fico hviezdi na ruzzkej dezinfoscene a pod.
