"At about 10:30 this morning local time, heavily armed masked agents in trucks, armored vehicles, a helicopter, on foot, and on horseback, accompanied by a gun mounted on a truck raided the MacArthur Park area of Los Angeles. Journalist Mel Buer reported that agents from CBP, the National Guard, and ICE brought what he called a “massive federal presence.”"

We all know, how crappy the common #Mercator projection for world #maps represents areas, inflating them with distance from the equator.
What many people don't know, is why this projection is still so popular:
The shortest path between two points on the globe, is a straight line on the map.
I reckon, this is useful.
In all other projections, the shortest paths are curves.
In #Maths, we say, the Mercator projection preserves angles, not areas.

@Nerd
Check, what I previously wrote:
berlin.social/@mina/1148179406…
@OscarCunninghamI knew, someone would come up with this.
True: The shortest distance between two points on a smooth manifold is the geodetic, which is in the general case not exactly a straight line in the Mercator projection.
However: Before GPS, if you wanted to plot a course for your ship or plane, you would determine the right angle to the pole and then keep it.
For not too long distances, this straight line on the Mercator map is close enough and, most importantly, easy to follow.
📈 Mieterhöhungen sind gesetzlich gedeckelt – doch immer wieder fordern Vermieter mehr, als erlaubt ist. Weil es keine Sanktionen gibt, tragen oft die Mieter das Risiko, wenn sie einer zu hohen Erhöhung zustimmen.
Besonders deutlich zeigt sich das in Schleswig-Holstein: Dort kam es in Hunderten Fällen zu unzulässigen Forderungen.

There's a certain level of privilege and comfort required to share where you're walking - particularly on a federated server.
Women and people from vulnerable communities need privacy. I'm not either, but I work for a newsroom that reports on the government, and there's absolutely no way I'm sharing my location online anymore.
I don't know that we should be encouraging people to share identifiable information onto the public #fediverse right now. Let's build much stronger privacy first.

Der Háifoss, was für ein Wasserfall. Mit seinen 122m ist er der dritthöchste Wasserfall Islands. Vom Parkplatz aus kann man hinunter in die Schlucht laufen und so dem Háifoss sehr nahe kommen. Die Kraft und Dynamik ist beeindruckend. Einer meiner Favoriten der Wasserfälle. Bei meinem Besuch ließ ein asiatisches Ehepaar dort Hochzeitsbilder machen.
