Yes. There's a character in the book named Helmholtz Watson.
I don't think Helmholtz is a first name in reality though, but I've seen worse.
I used to have a teacher named Dethleff Dethleffsen, so I suppose anything is possible.
I have seen the picture before, but it wasn't until now that I figured out the Helmholtz double entendre.
Helmholtz resonation is a way to enhance certain frequencies by blowing air into a cavity shaped to resonate with the desirable frequencies, named after German scientist Hermann von Helmholtz.
Helm means helmet in German. Holtz means wood in German (nice name: wooden helmet?) but in most other languages it resembles the word "hold" making this a helmet held Helmholtz resonator. Say it fast.
The purpose is literally described as both.
It's at the end of the article.
Intimidating people to work doesn't solve whatever is causing people not to work. It might very well be caused by similar strategies in the first place.
Okay, look at my contraception.

"Thanks in advance" has changed meaning.
It used to mean: "I appreciate your effort into this, no reply needed".

All non-stock companies which is the majority of all companies. That's the problem. When a company applies for a stock market registration, it means that they're selling off control and profit sharing of the company in order to gain investments to expand.
All companies start with a single or two owners. The transition from owning everything to including others won't happen if it means giving up to the majority of control, whether that's 50% or 5/95%. That's why many companies get stuck on 51%. It only ever comes over 50% when someone dies or makes a mature decision of letting others control "their" company.
Makes up theory of relativity. Marries cousin.
Fuck that, but also notice "Ukraine is not Ukraine anymore". This is a dangerous part of propaganda.
People will rage against the headline and who knows if he will eventually back track on that, but he already sold the underlying message without any serious risk of backlash.
Found at Brodega skateboards (Denmark)
I'm not affiliated, just found it funny.
A local skatepark held an official opening inviting Rune Glifberg and Nicky Guerrero to do a demo. The weather was tricky, but in between rain they managed to pull off a few tricks in the deep end. I didn't get a good photo of Rune.
(The 100kb limit on pictures is horrible.)
My neighbours won't appreciate it.
