I think this is more to visualize the size of the ascent on K2, rather than the true size of the mountain.

It's a meme sure, but it's a dismissive meme about an issue that when poorly handled, kills people. That people have a heated reaction isn't entirely unexpected, nor strictly unreasonable.

How do you suppose that glass was made, Watson?

"Europe stands alone" that's a pretty big crowd to be standing alone in...

Lies and deception - one on the right was clearly made in a mold and never had a proper skin in the first place.

Found the horse.

This is widely known and is the reason we have so many (predictably very persecuted) Ride2Vote (ridesharing to the polls) organizations in this country. Very much skeptical of the presentation of their ideas if they consider "access to polls" as somehow an overlooked concept.

Duh? It's also true in the US every year. In fact looking around I can't find a single country where it's not true.

The headline is trying to convey that cars are a bigger real threat to the population than the perception of violent crime would have you believe, but the social interest in addressing car deaths vs. anti-crime measures are wildly out of alignment with the actual harm caused by the respective issues.

More black bars than New Orleans...

This is rocketry, forgetting to secure a maintenance platform is a big deal especially on a piece of equipment as complicated as the soyuz launch pad. Two consecutive failures wouldn't make for a dumpster fire in most cases, but these are both supposed to be some of the most reliable rocket platforms in the world, and so failures like this are very concerning.

Edit: Finally found a decent picture of the thing that wasn't secured:

Yeah, no. Fucking up the safety checks on a massive piece of infrastructure like "the enormous platform that you use to put the boosters together" is indicative of a huge systemic failure.

"IVE GOUT IT" also fits

A modern horse is a mechanism through which time and money is converted into poop and exasperation.
