I'm sure we all know that Mount Everest was first climbed by Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay in 1953. On that expedition, they brought one journalist who got as far as 22,000 ft / 6,700 m, and eventually sent the successful news back to London.
Did you know she was a trans woman?

La imagen muestra un plato tradicional mexicano, probablemente chiles en nogada o pozole, servido en una taza de barro. El plato contiene un chile relleno, que es una chile poblano relleno de carne, cubierto parcialmente con un líquido rojo, que parece ser una salsa de tomate o caldo. Encima del chile, hay una porción de carne deshebrada, posiblemente cerdo, que se está sirviendo con una cuchara. El plato está colocado sobre una superficie decorada con azulejos coloridos, que tienen diseños florales y geométricos, lo que sugiere un ambiente cultural y tradicional. La mano de una persona se ve en la parte superior derecha, sosteniendo la cuchara y sirviendo la comida. La imagen captura la riqueza y el colorido de la cocina mexicana, destacando la textura y los colores del plato.

The image depicts a serene landscape featuring a paved pathway flanked by neatly trimmed hedges on both sides. The pathway leads towards a prominent brick water tower with a conical roof, partially obscured by trees. The tower has a circular windowed section near the top, and its reddish-brown bricks contrast with the surrounding greenery. The sky is clear with a few scattered clouds, and the sunlight casts a warm glow on the scene, creating long shadows on the path. The lush greenery includes various trees and shrubs, contributing to the tranquil atmosphere. The overall composition suggests a well-maintained park or garden setting.

The image depicts a serene outdoor scene with a bicycle prominently in the foreground, resting on a paved path. The bicycle's handlebars are visible, with a black bag attached to the frame. The path is bordered by tall grass on the left and a metal railing on the right, leading towards a river. In the background, a large truss bridge spans the river, with a signpost on the left side of the path. The sky is partly cloudy, with a blue hue and scattered white clouds. The scene suggests a peaceful environment, likely a bike path alongside a river, with the bridge serving as a focal point.

The image depicts a serene scene of a pedestrian bridge over a calm river. The bridge, with a smooth concrete surface, is flanked by a metal railing on one side, providing safety for pedestrians. The river, reflecting the cloudy sky, is bordered by lush greenery, including trees and shrubs, adding a natural element to the scene. In the background, another bridge can be seen, along with a power line tower, indicating the presence of infrastructure. The sky is partly cloudy, with patches of blue visible, suggesting a transition between day and evening. The overall atmosphere is peaceful and tranquil, with the natural elements harmoniously coexisting with the man-made structures.

The image depicts a serene outdoor scene featuring a paved pathway that stretches into the distance, flanked by lush green grass on both sides. The pathway is bordered by a rustic wooden fence made of uneven logs, adding a natural and rustic charm to the scene. The sky above is a clear blue with a few scattered white clouds, suggesting a calm and pleasant day. The grass on either side of the path is vibrant and well-maintained, with some areas showing a slight variation in color, possibly due to sunlight or shadow. The shadows of the fence posts are cast on the path, indicating the sun's position. In the background, there are trees and open fields, contributing to the tranquil and open atmosphere of the scene.

Well, this little and special custom #allocator (only dealing with equally sized objects on a single thread and actively preventing #fragmentation) reduces the resident set in my tests by 5 to 10 MiB, compared to "pooling" with linked lists in whatever #FreeBSD's #jemalloc serves me. At least something. 🙈

La pizza tiene una base de pasta, cubierta con salsa de tomate y queso derretido, y está decorada con rodajas de pepperoni. La persona está utilizando una espátula negra para levantar la rebanada, que está sobre una bandeja de horno. La bandeja tiene restos de queso y salsa, y está cubierta con papel de hornear.

From my conversation with @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com, the key to understanding so much of what's happened in American politics in recent years is that gender norms, identities, and hierarchies have shifted (as they always do) and people on the far-right and reactionary center *hate* that.

La imagen muestra una pizza recién horneada, cortada en porciones, sobre una superficie de madera. La pizza tiene una base de masa crujiente con algunas áreas ligeramente quemadas, lo que sugiere que fue horneada en una parrilla o horno a leña. La superficie de la pizza está cubierta con una capa generosa de queso derretido, que tiene un color blanco y cremoso. Se pueden ver trozos de maíz amarillo y rodajas de chile jalapeño verde, que añaden un toque de color y textura. El queso está ligeramente dorado en algunas áreas, lo que indica que ha sido horneado a una temperatura adecuada. La pizza está presentada en un plato de metal, lo que sugiere que podría ser de un restaurante o una pizzería. La textura de la masa y el queso, junto con los ingredientes frescos, sugieren un sabor rico y sabroso.
