The image is a three-panel meme featuring characters from the animated film "Peter Pan." In the first panel, a young girl with red hair, dressed in a white dress, is sitting on a window seat, looking out the window and sobbing. A flying figure, presumably Peter Pan, is visible outside the window. The text above her reads "sobs."

In the second panel, a dog-like character with a bushy tail and a flower on its head enters the room, asking, "Hey, what's up Wendy?" The girl remains on the window seat, and the text "Pan left" is displayed.

In the third panel, the girl is now resting her head on her hand, looking downcast. The dog-like character is no longer in the frame, and the text "Pan left" is again displayed. The background shows a dimly lit room with a window and a small table with a figurine on it.

The image is a four-panel meme featuring characters from the animated film "Peter Pan." In the first panel, a young girl with red hair, dressed in a white dress, is sitting on a window seat, looking out the window and sobbing. A flying figure, likely Peter Pan, is visible outside the window. The text above her reads "sobs."

In the second panel, a brown dog with a white tail and a flower on its head enters the room, asking, "Hey, what's up Wendy?" The girl remains on the window seat, looking downcast.

The third panel shows the camera panning to the left, revealing a darkened room with a chair and a small figure resembling Tinker Bell on a table. The text "Pan left" is displayed.

The fourth panel returns to the girl on the window seat, now resting her head on her hand, looking sad. The dog is no longer in the frame. The background remains consistent with the previous panels, featuring a window and a night sky.

Losing your buildings, lodges and hunt camps in the wilderness on remote lands is devastating. Every bit of material that is taken out there costs more money than the original amount, many man hours and lots of effort to put these things place. It is not just monetary value it is essential and often times means life and death in the wilderness. My family and relatives still keep sites out on the land because it is part of the way of life in the north.

Nächste Hiobsbotschaft für den #Klimaschutz: Regierung verabschiedet sich von Plänen für grünen #Wasserstoff. Stattdessen soll blauer Wasserstoff, aus #Erdgas hergestellt, zum Einsatz kommen. Der ist viel teurer als Erdgas, hat aber nur eine geringfügig bessere Klimabilanz. Erdgaskraftwerke sollen überhaupt nicht mehr mit Wasserstoff laufen. So geht es mit Volldampf in die Heißzeit.
heise.de/news/Wirtschaftsminis…
in reply to Highwaytohell

@Highwaytohell Es gibt Dinge, für die Wasserstoff gebraucht wird, aber nicht als Energiespeicher, sondern für chemische Prozesse, etwa als Reduktionsmittel. Es wäre durchaus sinnvoll, alle Überschüsse an elektrischer Energie, welche gerade in dem Moment, wo sie anfallen, keine Abnehmer finden (also wenn alle Akkuspeicher voll sind und so), in die Elektrolyse zu stecken. Was aber meist nicht sinnvoll ist, ist die Nutzung des Wasserstoffs in Brenstoffzellen oder Gasturbinen oder sowas. Es gibt viele Prozesse, wo aus irgendwelchen chemischen Verbindungen der Sauerstoff rausgeholt werden muß, und dafür eignet sich Wasserstoff in vielen Fällen ganz hervorragend; nur bei Substanzen, die nicht mit Wasser in Berührung kommen dürfen, geht das natürlich schlecht.

I was at the Main Street cafe a while back, and there were some yeehawdists at the table behind me going off about how Mexicans were taking their jobs, and I turned around and said, “Son, I know five farms that need help right now. I can make a phone call and you can be in the field in an hour. Now, bring a hat, it’s hot out here in the sun all day. And gloves, those plants will tear you up. To make minimum wage, you’ll have to hustle, you get paid by the bushel. You wanna finish lunch and go pick some maters, or you wanna shut the fuck up so I can eat my chicken fried steak in peace?”

They shut the fuck up. Silence until they left. And the cook sent me a peach cobbler. 🥳

Can anyone recommend me a similar tent like this? It should have enough space to comfortably fit a family of 4 people.

This is obviously for car camping. Weight is not important. Quality is though!

The roomy vestibule where you can sit and take shelter from bad weather is a hard requirement by my wife.

It's also important that it's certified Bluesign, or something similar. I don't want any harmful chemicals near my family.

It should also preferably be available in Sweden, or at least the EU.

Any recommendations? 😁

9 Sculptures You (Probably) Didn’t Know Existed


Which one is your favorite?

Split image showing two outdoor sculptures. Left: "Dignity" statue in South Dakota, USA, a 50-foot-tall stainless steel sculpture of a Native American woman with arms outstretched, draped in a star quilt of blue and silver diamond panels, set against a dramatic cloudy sky. Right: "Window and Ladder – Too Late for Help" by Leandro Erlich in Montevideo, Uruguay, featuring a floating brick wall fragment with a window and a tall white ladder extending from the ground up to it, placed in a grassy field with trees and an industrial building in the background.

From a 50-foot Native American monument overlooking the Missouri River to a surreal hammock strung across a border fence, these sculptures push the boundaries of form, meaning, and public space. Whether constructed from stone, steel, wire, or illusion, each work defies convention — and chances are, you haven’t seen them before. Locations span from Barcelona to Philadelphia, from South Dakota plains to Turkish landscapes.

This right here is bullshit. If this were a Democrat lawmaker instead of the leader of the ultra right wing Freedom f'ing Caucus, they would have held an ethics investigation a year ago when word of this first got out. Instead, they left them on the goddamn ballot, reelected him, and let him serve a full year term! Bastards!

The image depicts a cartoon scene set in a bar, with two individuals seated at a round table. The woman, on the left, has shoulder-length orange hair and is wearing a purple top with a brown vest. She is holding a glass of white wine and is smiling as she asks, "Do you have any hobbies?" The man, on the right, has short dark hair and is wearing a green shirt. He is holding a bottle of beer and responds, "Oh, I play a little guitar." The man's guitar is visible tucked into his back pocket. The table has a sign that reads "Odan Pirago 10.21.13 w/ Wayne," indicating a past event or performance. The background is simple, with a light blue gradient and black lines suggesting a rainy atmosphere.

Witajcie, linuksowi przyjaciele! Jako pingwinowy neofita powtarzam, że w życiu nie wezmę na siebie odpowiedzialności polecania komukolwiek porzucenia windowsa i przejścia na open source’ową stronę mocy.

Ale już polecanie tego krajom Unii Europejskiej - aaaa to co innego, to proszę bardzo. Napisałem o tym parę słów dla KryPola, polecam i zapraszam

gratuluję tekstu!

I podrzucam, bo nie widzę wzmianek:

Skolonizowani przez Microsoft:

Tekst sprzed !dekady, ale idę o zakład, że Ministerstwo Cyfryzacji dalej nie wie, ile Polska wydaje na oprogramowanie Microsoftu.

Szkoły w Jaworznie przechodziły na Linuksa już ponad dekadę temu:
