The image is a reference to this analysis done in World War II, which might seem to suggest that the planes need more armour on the wings and tail, but actually shows that these areas aren’t important and that the engines and cockpit need armour if the plane is to survive to make it back to base (where the stats are correlated).

The surviving planes showed a bias in the data that leads to an incorrect conclusion, just like the surviving woody gymnosperms makes it seem like there weren’t non-woody gymnosperms.

Where I’m from it’s spelt centring, but I think Randall’s referring to “doanate”.

Yeah, it’s musique concrète with the samples being airport sounds.

Businesses like having an app on your phone because they can update it to fix bugs, add features, track your activity and send you notifications/ads when they have something new to sell.

Well, not any more by the sound of it.

I remember sites where you could play games and bitcoin was basically used as a score/prize - if I’d spent half my lunch hours playing I’d be set for life nowadays.

To ELI5 this, this happens when whoever made the webpage put a text layer above the image - probably on purpose to make it harder for people to download the image.

It didn’t say in the article who the previous five were, so I looked it up:

• Belgium (2016)
• Austria (2020)
• Sweden (2020)
• Portugal (2021)
• United Kingdom (2024)
• Ireland (2025)

That’s using the source quoted in the article.

Another source has a longer list:

• Belarus (2015)
• Belgium (2016)
• Austria (2020)
• Sweden (2020)
• Portugal (2021)
• UK (2024)
• Slovakia (2024)
• (Ireland would be here if/when updated for 2025)

I can see it, btw. I’m using Voyager on Android and see a spool of blue cable.

Some of this is paving the cowpath - the animated PNG stuff is 20 years old and e.g. Firefox has had support since March 2007.

APNG is what they’re using in v3, so all many libraries need to do* is update that code for HDR.

* surely that’s easy, right?

I fact checked that bite force stat and yup, Giant Panda 1.30 kN vs Lion’s 1.32 kN.

source: nice article quoting Bite forces and evolutionary adaptations to feeding ecology in carnivores (Ecology).

FYI, you’ve added a link where the label is the URL and the actual link is empty. You can fix this by removing the [ and ]() around the link. If the link is there as plain text, it gets a hyperlink automatically: https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2025/07/pay-up-or-stop-scraping-cloudflare-program-charges-bots-for-each-crawl/

Rosie’s R jumper - R for Rosie and/or Ramsey?

I’d thought it would be Jason putting something on the roof since he’s been trying to get up there all series. Instead, he completely blindsided us with the Nish reveal - and on the same ep as the Aisling, um, cameo.
Also, I can’t be alone in being fooled into thinking the crow was going to play a part in Fatiha’s placement.

Raging Horne looked like Humpty Dumpty.

It seems reasonable given that space the atmosphere is big. Really big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is.

Can’t believe they discontinued the best flavour.

“We’ve got the same juice” - yes, just so awful they had to move on (or we’ve got some great deleted footage coming).

There was nothing about sabotaging the turntable - I reckon shoving a paint bottle underneath would stop it turning and then pull it out to show the other person.

“Bibi Netanyahu’s trial should be CANCELLED, IMMEDIATELY, or a Pardon given to a Great Hero, who has done so much for the State,” Trump continued.

If he hasn’t done anything wrong, why does he need a pardon?

I thought this was great and I was surprised that it didn’t become a new series (which seemed to be the plan).

Ah, Randall is alive! I kept thinking my bot had broken as it’s so rare for him to miss an upload.
