One example. Dug the hole myself.

It's common practice to dig a new hole 10m further and move the shithouse over.

Caught my attention as eesel means donkey in my mother tongue. Privacy policy and terms of service links lead nowhere. Does not seem like those topics are considered seriously, just to make the footer look right. Seems like a scam.

Having been in the aviation community for some time and having seen more than a few accidents with these things, it's worth to mention that they are way more dangerous than they appear. The thing to look out for is "collapsing" the wing, which is likely fatal at the kind of low altitudes normally flown. That "wing" always needs a positive loading. Downdrafts at the perimeter of a thermal, orthographic winds, rotors, fronts, convergence lines, other causes of turbulence and vertical drafts - there is a reason why you often see paramotors in the calm of the evening, when you can cut the air like butter. If you like flying, a more safe hobby would be gliding.

Excellent tutorial for bitwise arithmetic this is. The key is the motivation you receive from the prospect of being able to do something that seems "l33t".

The plain utf8 covers the "basic multilingual plane" (x0000-xFFFF), so it will get you very far, actually.

In our app, we finally went for utf8mb4 to allow people to enter emoji. As a side "bonus" you will also soon see some clever people entering their names to stand out, such as "𝙹𝚘𝚑𝚗". Note that this is not "John". It is actually a series of mathematical symbols:

  U+1D679   MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE CAPITAL J
  U+1D698   MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL O
  U+1D691   MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL H
  U+1D697   MATHEMATICAL MONOSPACE SMALL N

How many of those do you recon had already been exposed before vaccine availability?

These people were putting their neck out almost a full year before the first shot was administeres. Chances are, many of them already acquired immunity via this route.
