Hogere AOW is voor de meeste bejaarden niet nodig
Ja, meneer de Kam, zo weet ik er nog wel een paar:
Lager toptarief is voor de meeste miljonairs niet nodig.
Hogere subsidies zijn voor de meeste melkveehouders niet nodig.
Flinke belastingkorting is voor de meeste ondernemers niet nodig.
Moet ik zo nog even doorgaan? Verzin er zelf maar een paar bij.

A vibrant and detailed illustration that depicts a character resembling Darkwing Duck, a heroic cartoon character known for his adventures. The character is dressed in a flowing purple cape and wide-brimmed hat, exuding a confident and mysterious aura. His expression is stern and focused, with a piercing gaze. The background features a nocturnal cityscape with an ominous blue and orange palette, lit by glowing windows and street signs, with a full moon and starry sky overhead. The atmosphere is…

“.. a repeat of the can’t do attitude they turned to for decades when fighting fuel economy standards, then claiming the technology didn’t exist, it was too expensive, and consumers didn’t want it (they were wrong). Now the auto industry is dragging its feet once again, this time trying to use China’s progress on EVs as an excuse to slow down on U.S. standards. Really? When you’re falling behind, is slowing down really the right answer?”

EVs Are at a Turning Point, It May Not Be What You Think
Strong momentum is moving in the right direction to support the growing EV market.

Content warning: spoilers in pics

I grabbed the second in the Midsolar Murders series, “Chaos Terminal,” because the first was pleasant and a space murder mystery seemed fun.
The editing was so poorly done that I had to keep re-reading entire sections, my mental image of a crime scene or interview blown up by it.
These images are spoilers, obviously. If you look…
1. Where is Reggie?
2. When does Mallory stand?
3. Is she talking *to* or *about* Parker?
And I only started taking pics at the end…

Reggie went back into the bathroom; Parker went to ask the bartender. Draughn stood with Amy, Max, and Reggie, then started moving around the room. Finding the body would look sudden and unintentional, he decided. He found the little closet.
"I don't think you have motive to kill me," Mallory said. "Although sometimes people kill when someone gets too close to the truth." She stood up and dropped Amy's hand. "Dammit. I had to talk to someone. And you're the only one who gets the a Parker thing." "I still can't believe you could think that one of your oldest friends could do that. I can't believe that you'd drop that bomb on Parker and then leave him alone." Mallory stood up, feeling a thousand years old. "These are reasons why I …
"Third, when the Cuckoos came to protect you, they left Amy alone and stung Draughn. I thought they left her alone because she was your sibling and an honorary member of the hive, but I don't think it had anything to do with her. Draughn was the murderer, and Parker thought he was in danger as well, so they swarmed to protect him, but they also attacked the person they thought was attacking one of their own. They've known all along who did it." "I still don't know-" Parker said.

Pretty sure this is a plot point in Metal Gear Solid

Next-to-eikonal corrected double graviton dressing and gravitational wave observables at ${\cal O}(G^2)$
Following a recent proposal to describe inelastic eikonal scattering processes in terms of gravitationally dressed elastic eikonal amplitudes, we motivate a collinear double graviton dressing and investigate its properties. This is derived from a generalized Wilson line operator in the worldline formalism by integrating over fluctuations of the eikonal trajectories of external particles in gravitationally interacting theories. The dressing can be expressed as a product of exponential terms -- a…

L-systems for the Boundaries of fractal dragon space filling folding curves
We describe an algorithm to find an L-system for the boundary of space-filling square grid based folding curves, such as the fractal dragon curves. This complements work of Dekking, Arndt, Handl, on space filling curves.

Es sind über 14 Grad Celsius draussen. Wieso werde ich verwirrt angesehen, wenn ich im Personalrestaurant frage "Wo ist die Glacé-Truhe?"

Deze Zeeuwse woningen zijn vogelvrij ingepakt om zonder vertraging te kunnen worden gesloopt en weer, uiterlijk precies eender maar dan duurzamer, te worden herbouwd. nos.nl/l/2511808

Zeeuwse woningen ingepakt à la Christo om broedende vogels te weren
De huizen worden binnenkort gesloopt. Als voor die tijd een vogel een nestje bouwt, kan die sloop flinke vertraging oplopen.
