Memories of Keith Emerson: "He looked to his Leslies to throw his knives - this guy’s eyes opened wide when he saw the knives fly in his direction. The guy was Jimi Hendrix" musicradar.com/news/keith-eme…

Forgot to post this on the day, but here's CBS' coverage of the first crewed Saturn V flight for reference to the A2 coverage

This is where “uppercase” and “lowercase” came from. In the early days of printing, capital letters were kept in the upper compartments of the type case, while the smaller letters were placed below for easier access.

I rade do dana današnjeg! U Budimpešti (posebno u centru) koriste se sinking bollardi (koji se spuštaju u zemlju) od 2010. godine u više ulica, npr. Zrínyi utca, Gerlóczy utca, Aranykéz utca i sl. Oni se podižu da blokiraju neovlaštena vozila, a spuštaju za dozvoljena (uključujući autobuse ili vozila sa permitom). Imaju semafore (zeleno kad je prolaz slobodan) i kontrolu 24/7

bgprevoz.rs i gsp.rs još u dubokoj hibernaciji, nigde najave detalja dvodnevne prevozne žurke povodom bege maratona... @prijavi_problem Vide li već neko (i možda gde) izmenjeni red vožnje za sutra i prekosutra?

@Ivana_Gljivana Da mu halebardom otfikare tintaru 😂

Da u nekom scenariju Trump uđe u rat s Vatikanom ja bi BOŽE MI OPROSTI bila na strani Svete stolice. Nikad nisam mislila da ću ovak šta pomislit, reć, napisat, ali jebena istina lol

This is a serious debate.

@ZiggySolaris @bibl_u_egzilu Prvo ju je Roberto Salinas "našao" u Gabeli: hr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troja_u_G…

@bibl_u_egzilu sigurno imaš negde u arhivi troju u baru (ili sutomoru, gde ono beše)... 😂 isto početak 90-ih. naravno, "istina" krenula sa tribine na pravnom fakultetu u beogradu.

Za svesno i nesvesno zaboravne... 1993. Da li je iko svestan koliko ova idiotija, u kojoj smo prisiljeni da živimo, traje?

@tregerv @ozonac @DiSibarit Frikom.rs nema istu ponudu kao i ledo.hr uprkos istom engleskom gazdi, šlag ne prave/uvoze. Pamtim originalnu belu kartonsku ambalažu.

@ozonac @DiSibarit Kako nema !!?.. 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😎 Trebalo bi ga biti u Idei. To je pandan našeg Konzuma .

Jeste li znali da je ' Ledo ' šlag , poznat kao prvi smrznuti tučeni šlag na svijetu , lansiran 1966. godine , dok je postupak njegove proizvodnje patentiran u veljači 1969. godine.

How Rome Empire looked like in 54 AD? Meet the great great grandfathers of your favourite cartoon character 🤷🏻‍♂️

For nine years, an astronomer begged NASA to turn a spacecraft around and take a single photograph. When they finally agreed, the planet it photographed was smaller than a pixel. The astronomer was Carl Sagan. The spacecraft was Voyager 1, launched in 1977 to study Jupiter and Saturn. By 1981, it had done its job and was heading for the edge of the solar system at 38,000 miles per hour. Sagan wanted it to look back once. He knew the photo would have almost no scientific value. Earth from that distance would be a speck. That was exactly the point. NASA worried. The Sun was still close enough to fry Voyager’s camera sensor if they pointed it the wrong way. Other missions kept getting priority. The years ticked by. Sagan kept pushing. They finally said yes. On 14 February 1990, roughly 6 billion kilometres from home, Voyager 1 turned its camera around and took 60 photos of the solar system. One of them captured Earth as a tiny dot caught in a stray beam of scattered sunlight. That single image became known as the Pale Blue Dot. The entire planet, every person who has ever lived, every war, every love story, every sunrise, was 0.12 pixels wide. Thirty-four minutes later, Voyager 1 powered off its cameras forever to save energy for the long journey ahead. It has never taken another picture. Sagan later wrote a book about that single pixel and called it Pale Blue Dot. He died two years after it was published. Voyager 1 is still going. It’s now over 24 billion kilometres away, the furthest human-made object in existence, still sending back faint signals from interstellar space. Does that dot make you feel insignificant, or does it make everything on it feel more precious?

@svetionicar Najčešće je i prenose na Evrosportu, tad mi zafali Janez koji komentariše 😂

@pifat uvek jaka trka i lepa za gledanje. tnx.

@svetionicar Posle duže pauze, uspon na Vršič se vraća kao prolazni cilj na etapi ovogodišnje trke oko Slovenije, potom ide spust do cilja u Kranjskoj Gori. Najzad su obnovili put na ovoj trasi, pa je čuveni uspon ponovo u itinereru.

Another year passes. I always like to highlight that Hillsborough is one of the main reasons that Kenny Dalglish is Liverpool's biggest legend. He attended every single funeral with his wife Marina, including 4 in one day. It goes well beyond football with Kenny. #JFT97

The 1,100-Mile Living Hedge That Divided India. In the 19th century, the British East India Company imposed a devastatingly high tax on salt. To enforce this tax and prevent widespread smuggling across regions, colonial administrators conceived one of the largest infrastructure projects in human history. Under the direction of customs commissioner Allan Octavian Hume, the British constructed the Inland Customs Line. Rather than a stone wall or wire fence, the barrier was a massive, living hedge made of dense, impenetrable thorny shrubs like Indian plum, babool, and prickly pear. At its peak, the Great Hedge of India stretched for 1,100 miles, running all the way from the foothills of the Himalayas down to the state of Orissa. It grew up to 14 feet high and 12 feet thick, constantly patrolled by over 12,000 customs officers tasked with catching salt smugglers attempting to cross. When the British eventually overhauled their tax system in 1879, the barrier was deemed obsolete and simply abandoned. Nature quickly reclaimed the shrubs, and the massive living wall disappeared so completely that modern historians initially thought the structure was an absolute myth.

Off to his next assignment. We all already know what is that 😂

27 years ago PBS aired this retrospective on the Apollo program. I've recaptured it in three parts and am putting it here, so as to preserve the interviews with the astronauts and NASA staff especially. Many of whom are dead now. Hear them in their own words. (part 1 of 3)
