#kraftwerk’s mighty Autobahn is 50 years old today!

Imagine listening to it back then, this amazing 22 minute electronic track that captures the joy (and boredom) of a long drive on the autobahn.

It remains stunning and fresh now, let alone how mindblowing it must’ve been in ‘74

Claro, por ahí fuera flipan con que los responsables siguieran con sus agendas y haciéndose fotos mientras ya caían las lluvias torrenciales.

it's so crazy to explore tools like curl and find out how cool and useful it is and noticing that a lot of tools and products are using it in the background. Such a great accomplice but sadly not as monetarily rewarding as a good song or film, even so it is more useful (no shame on music and films but I prefer technical stuff for my entertainment ;..; )

It's a tragedy, and the handling is absolutely awful so far. A few more details:

Right after winning the election, the regional government abolished the regional emergency unit as a cost-cutting measure.
Urban planning failed in allowing to build in what are essentially dry riverbeds and became wet once again.
The state agency for meteorology had been giving warnings for days. Civil protection didn't issue warnings to citizens through their phones until flooding had already begun.
A far right pseudo-trade union has sued the director of the agency for reckless homicide.
The president of the region incorrectly stated that the phenomenon was remiting and heading elsewhere.
The region didn't ask the state to raise the emergency level to 3, in which case the state would take over the single command and deploy its own means to support. But now the region accuses the state of innaction. The region also didn't declare "situation of catastrophic emergency" which would have vested single command on the regional president, probably to elude legal responsibility.
Volunteers were rejected at first, then belatedly organised, and the region instead of sending them to help people in villages with cleaning, food and water delivery and so on, have at times sent them to clean shopping centres.

With that amount of rain it was always going to be bad. But the civil protection plan failed and the political conflict in the country is keeping administrations pointing the finger at each other. Very upsetting.

Buenos días, esto es muy fuerte. Hoy la Generalitat empezaba a "organizar" a los voluntarios para distribuirlos mejor. Hasta aquí ok, más vale tarde que nunca.
Pero resulta que este señor, periodista para La Vanguardia y A Punt, dice que hay lío en "varios" buses porque les han llevado A LIMPIAR UN CENTRO COMERCIAL.
Al parecer la gente se niega a bajar de los buses porque quieren ayudar a la gente en sus casas u calles.
Cuando crees que no pueden dar más vergüenza y asco, lo consiguen.

How a misinterpretation of a BMJ publication from 1996 caused (and yes, I do mean caused) the explosion in rates of peanut allergy.

In a nutshell: for decades the guidance issued in the USA and UK was the opposite of what it should have been and left a generation with preventable, life-threatening allergies.
