Yet another reason to tut at the Mercator map projection

Wenn die Stadt #Dresden aufgrund der angespannten Haushaltslage keine zusätzlichen Reinigungen liegengebliebener Silvesterabfälle beauftragen kann, dann sollte sie ein Verbot von #Feuerwerk anordnen, anstatt Mülltipps zu geben.
Who lived when? Some surprises here
Fröhlichen Halbzeit-Tag allerseits. Heute markiert die Mitte zwischen den Jahren 2000 und 2050, ab morgen sind wir letzterem offiziell näher als der Jahrtausendwende.

Ahh, yeah, European vs US Billion makes sense!
And yeah, i am definitely with you, that it's a lot of water! Just wanted to clarify the numbers a little ;)

@efialto
Hey, not 100% sure here, but I think, you have an error in your calcs.
1tsp = ~0.006 litres
0.006 * 1/15 = 0.0004 litres/query
0.0004 litres/query * 1 billion queries/day = 400.000 litres/day

Which is still a lot, but significantly less, I guess?

I arrived at Hamburg main station, tracks 13+14 - just where over a week ago, a mentally ill German woman injured 15 in a brutal knife attack, some severely. She was stopped by two men: a young refugee from Syria and a man from Chechnya. The press quickly dropped the case.

That had not at all been the case when a similarly ill man, but a refugee, killed two in Bavaria. For weeks, up to our elections, this tragic event was heavily exploited to push anti-migrant politics.

Honesty, and humanity.

"Several people are typing" is my favorite UI text of all time. Nothing gets me as excited as those four words.
