There was a related podcast recently somewhere, the idea was that evolutionary lungs come from guts, so maybe guts would still have some ability to absorb oxygen, which, turns out, they indeed do. This could have some practical uses e.g. in intensive care situations where the patient's lung is useless (extreme COVID), which could give a last resort breathing opportunity while the lungs heal to a usable condition. Furthermore it gives a shitton of opportunity for butt jokes

Or too much. Exactly my thought

I checked it, it's not :)

Lots of astronomical objects have names, but somehow it's asteroids and maybe craters that really got the naming hype, there are hundreds of them named after scientists, poets, the discoverer's teacher, you name it. It's a nice custom.

Disclaimer: I might be slightly biased, as I proposed my wife with naming one of them (asteroid, I mean).

It's 1.05 picoparsec^2

Nobody really expected global politics going down the drain as it does, either - just as South Park production stopped because there was no sense in parodizing reality when it's weirder than what they could come up with

In short:

• In the beginning he won an election with supermajority, since than they changed election rules so it's harder to get them removed (rules favor the single strongest party, so they can be beaten in 1v1 only, but the opposition has several parties)
• Many young people who had enough left the country, but it got harder to vote if you emigrated
• They introduced a public work program that local mayors use to threat people to vote for them
• Orbán realized that leaders in the EU stopped believing him, so he made new friends with Russia, Kazakhstan, etc
• He uses the only power he has - he can pose as the leader of an EU county legitimizing these autocracies, and
• vetoing EU decisions un favor of his New friends
• EU was created with a good faith, a county cannot be kicked out
• So the only lever they have is closing the money tap that would dry up his guild of thieves - that is happening right now

Wasn't that a phdcomics strip originally?

These are nice, but on the other hand there's the case where you have a limited time slot somewhere and windows randomly decides that it's time to update, pop up a window to upload your data to "the cloud", reboot, and bang, you're f*cked.
