Spacewalks on the International Space Station (2021) (filmed by the astronauts themselves)


Miscellaneous footage of astronauts working on various spacewalks outside the International Space Station during 2020-2021. As it's taken by the astronauts themselves, it features a variety of unusual angles and perspectives. Spacewalks are done very slowly and carefully in order to avoid any accidents, so please don't expect this video to be action-packed :)

This video was made by NASA and is in the public domain.

Nun wollen wir also faktisch zur Rettung zukünftiger Dividendenausschüttungen der VW Ignoranz gegenüber dem globalen Wandel in die Staatskasse greifen, finden aber gleichzeitig nicht ausreichend Geld für die Mobilitätswende, diskutieren tatsächlich ernsthaft ob eine Angebotsreduzierung bei der Bahn die richtige Antwort auf gestiegene Fahrgastzahlen sei oder ob es nicht besser sei, deren Angebot in Teilen gleich ganz auszusetzen. Gegenwart ist wenn das Absurde als das Vernünftige gehandelt wird.


Shannon Osaka: California city approves industrial park next to one of Earth’s oldest trees: After months of deliberation, the city of #Jurupa Valley approved a development next to an oak tree that is at least 13,000 years old.

"One of the world’s oldest living organisms — which once sprouted next to giant ground sloths and other prehistoric creatures — will soon sit 550 feet from industrial buildings.

After months of debate that thrust the small city of Jurupa Valley, Calif., into the national spotlight, the city council approved a plan on Thursday night to build a development next to the Jurupa Oak, an ancient tree that has survived since the last ice age. The vote was 3-2."

A 2004 study evaluated Department of Agriculture data for 43 garden crops from 1950 to 1999. The researchers found statistically reliable declines for six nutrients — protein, calcium, potassium, iron and vitamins B2 and C.

Many vegetables today are either sweeter than their predecessors or less flavorful or both.

Corn, for instance, grows so fast under modern fertilizers that the internal cells split during the growth process.

Their stalks are weaker but their yield has more than doubled since the 80s.

If you want to learn more about that, I can highly recommend the book The omnivore's dilemma. It's fascinating how modern agriculture is so completely divorced from what most people think it is.

While it is unclear where the information comes from, many Reddit users claim they only shared it on a wedding planning site called The Knot. This includes the person who said they received the email about their "cheating" dog, Mr. Wiggles, whose name was also shared on the site.


Mr. Wiggles has no shame
