#LakeSuperior facts
There is enough water in Lake Superior alone to cover the entire land mass of North and South America in 12in (30cm) of water.
The temperature of the lake water below 200m (110 fathoms) is an almost constant 4 degrees Celsius. The water above varies seasonally but twice per year the entire water column will be a constant 4 degrees (Celsius) and allows the waters to mix. This property makes it a dimictic lake.
Waves as high as 9m (30ft) have been recorded. 6m (20ft) waves are common during storms.
At some of the deepest parts, water can get as cold as 1.1 degrees Celsius. This has some interesting side-effects.
I'll go over some in a reply with an appropriate spoiler

Ukraine shoots down Russian Orlan 'mother drone' carrying FPVs for first time, military says
Ukrainian anti-aircraft gunners shot down a Russian Orlan drone carrying two first-person-view (FPV) drones under its wings for the first time, the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade reported on Aug. 22.
This marks the first time the Ukrainian military has destroyed a so-called "mother drone" carrying other UAVs, the brigade claimed.
"Anti-aircraft gunners from the 118th Separate Mechanized Brigade destroyed an enemy Orlan drone carrying two FPV drones under its wings," the unit said in a Facebook post.
"Prior to this, the pilots of the pursuit platoon had already shot down dozens of enemy reconnaissance drones — Orlan, Zala, and Supercam — but this was the first time they had managed to destroy a mother drone."
The Orlan is a Russian-developed reconnaissance drone widely used by Russia in Ukraine. Feared by Ukrainian soldiers, it often serves to target Russian artillery attacks. It can travel 600 kilometers and climb to an altitude of 5,000 meters.

European postal services suspend shipment of packages to US over tariffs
ATHENS, Greece (AP) — The end of an exemption on tariff duties for low-value packages coming into the United States is causing multiple international postal services to pause shipping as they await more clarity on the rule.
The exemption, known as the “ de minimis” exemption, allows packages worth less than $800 to come into the U.S. duty free. A total of 1.36 billion packages were sent in 2024 under this exemption, for goods worth $64.6 billion, according to data from the U.S. Customs and Border Patrol Agency.
It is set to expire on Friday. On Saturday, postal services around Europe announced that they are suspending the shipment of many packages to the United States amid confusion over new import duties.

I made it to episode 14 of Season 1 before deciding that the level of violence and vengeance exceeded my tolerance levels. It was similar for me with Vincenzo. There's amazing acting and production, and a lot of interesting story elements in both shows, but I don't want to dwell on that level of anger and hate.
I LOVE #LeeJeHoon, but I doubt that I'll return to that series.

Common wind, il titolo inglese originale che riprende un sonetto del poeta William Wordsworth dedicato al rivoluzionario Toussaint Louverture, è anche il titolo della tesi di dottorato di Scott, considerata “la tesi di laurea in scienze umane e sociali in lingua inglese più letta, ricercata e discussa del XX secolo”. Copie pirata di quella tesi sono circolate tra gli storici come un “mixtape underground” per più di trent’anni attraversando due generazioni di accademici e contribuendo a definire l’emergente campo della Storia dell’Atlantico. La ricerca innovativa di Scott troverà il giusto riconoscimento solo molti anni dopo quando sarà pubblicata in forma di libro dall'editore anglo-americano Verso nel 2018 ricevendo infine tutta l'attenzione che meritava.

Vous avez l'impression que l’État dépense beaucoup pour l'éducation nationale et que pourtant les conditions d'enseignement se dégradent?
Voilà la réponse : le gouvernement surévalue le budget de l'éducation nationale de 10%.
L'économiste Julien Grenetle a démontré que le budget est artificiellement gonfle par la prise en compte des cotisations retraites payées par les fonctionnaires de 74% du salaire brut (contre 17% dans le privé)
La dépense par élève dans le premier degré, est en fait inférieure de 19 % aux autres pays de l'OCDE.
Au final, la France dépense bien peu pour ses élèves.

The article makes no mention of his religion. And even if we were to stereotype purely on nationality, Muslim would be the wrong conclusion.
I mean, he could be, but his religion has f--k all to do with the fact he's a pervert willing to take advantage of a weaker individual.
