The failed attempt of running HaxeFlixel on the Switch

Zur Klarstellung:
Ich bin dankbar, dass ich Unterstützung (aufstockende GruSi) erhalte, und nur zu gern würde ich es irgendwie zurück geben. In einem anderen Land würde ich um Almosen betteln und auf der Straße landen, vielleicht sterben.
Armut ist hierzulande aber anders kontextuiert und immer noch unsichtbarer. Jede(r) Fünfte, Kinder!
Beschämend allemal. Selbstverschuldet das Narrativ.

First ring-forming embedded planet discovered around a young sun-like star
Astronomers led by Leiden PhD candidate Richelle van Capelleveen have, for the first time, discovered an exoplanet that has carved a bright gap in the protoplanetary disc around its star.Leiden University
Carlo Bencini =/\= reshared this.
Direct imaging of exoplanets is a challenging area tackled by ground based telescopes with systems like VLT-SPHERE.
Techniques used by SPHERE and its 3 instruments include -
1. Adaptive optics to correct for the turbulent effects of the Earth’s atmosphere
2. Coronagraph to block out light from the star
3. Polarization filters (light reflected off planets is polarized).
4. Use of IR bands such as H and Ks that are translucent to earth's atmosphere.
5. Spectroscopy

ESO - Instrument Description
ESO is the European Organisation for Astronomical Research in the Southern Hemisphere. It operates the La Silla Paranal Observatory in Chile and has its headquarters in Garching, near Munich, Germany.www.eso.org
The discovery of exoplanet WISPIT 2b was followed by additional observations.
This study led by U of Arizona astronomer Laird Close used the MagAO-X system at the Magellan Telescope in Chile. It discovered a 2nd planet CC1 (mass = 9 Jupiters, distance = 15 au from the star). It also observed and measured accretion of Hydrogen by the planet from the dusty disk.

Because it’s so perfect, for the longest time I’ve had it at the back of my mind to create a GIF of the scene from Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy where a man¹ just gives up on society’s so-called progress, realises evolving out of the sea was a mistake, and divests himself of the trappings of civilisation as he returns thence. And so now I have! You can find it at media4.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lk… (until someone or something flags it…)

Each time I see this picture of my little brothers Mohammad and Ahmed, I'm shocked!
This picture makes deeply realize how 22 months of suffering changed us from inside and outside.
We don't know how our suffering will change us in the upcoming days, because the upcoming days are the worst.
Please help my family to survive via the following link

weil sie keine Verbrecher aus islamischen Ländern importiern!
Das Problem besteht darin, dass #Mohammedaner keinerlei Gnade empfinden, wenn etwas in den Augen ihres #Imams oder Ältestenrates als #haram gilt.
In einer funktionierenden Gesellschaft passen sich die Gäste dem Gastgeber an.
In #Deutschland passt sich die Gesellschaft den Gästen an und verzichtet auf seine #Kultur.
