I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

Electric scooters are becoming more popular in Vienna:


Haven't tried them yet, but I think it's not a bad idea.

Hipsters love them, and start to annoy everybody else since they feel the need to carry them in public transportation networks, instead of using them to go around.

I wonder how practical it would be to follow Languish from the RSS feed at the bottom of the page?

The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Turkey has renamed the street in Ankara where the new US embassy is being built "Malcolm X Avenue".

I would rather they had renamed it 'Denzel Washington' but whatever.

Denzel isn't a famous American Muslim.

Would be strange if the actually consider NoI to be Islamic.

Were these uniforms introduced in the 18th century? I mostly associate them with the early 1800s. :unsure:

Do you mean the red uniforms in general or that specific uniform for that specific regiment and so on?

This uniform type with the tall shako. I know that the English were using red uniform coats for longer than that.
