The Stadium Built on the Equator, Where Each Team Defends a HemisphereThe Stadium Built on the Equator, Where Each Team Defends a Hemisphere

In Brazil you will find Zerão, a famous football field known in English as, ‘the Big Zero’. Opened in 1990, the stadium was designed so the midfield line fell exactly on the Equator, meaning each half lies on a different hemisphere.
Although its official name is Estádio Milton de Souza Corrêa, everyone calls it Zerão

Koala fingerprints are so close to humans' that they could taint crime scenes.Koala fingerprints are so close to humans' that they could taint crime scenes.

Koalas might not seem to have a lot in common with us, but if you were to take a closer look at their hands, you'd see that they have fingerprints that are strikingly similar to those of humans.
In fact, they're so similar when it comes to the distinctive loops and arches, that in Australia, "police feared that criminal investigations may have been hampered by koala prints," according to Ripley's Believe It or Not. Any koalas who want to commit crimes would be wise to do so wearing gloves.
Can koala prints mess up a crime scene?
“Oddly enough, the fingerprints of koalas are nearly identical to human beings, and even under a microscope, they are basically impossible to tell apart. The shape, size and ridge patterns are bizarrely identical, even moreso than the similarities between primate and human fingerprints. However, while human beings have “dermal ridges” on their entire fingers and across their palms, koalas only have fingerprints on the tips of their fingers, where the majority of their gripping force occurs.”

In the novel No Country for Old Men Ed Tom says "awhile back in San Antonio they shot and killed a federal judge."
This is a reference to the 1979 killing of Judge Wood who was shot by contract killer Charles Harrelson, the father of Woody Harrelson who plays Carson Wells in the film version of No Country.
This sent shivers down my spine 👍

Back in the day Dragon's Tail was an online game that begun in 2010. They were sharing real Bitcoins, and deposits and withdrawals were instant. They added code to allow the first 50 BTC to credit with 0 confirmations and additional ones with 1 or 2 confirms. Statues of the game sometimes gave from 1 to 5 bitcoins...

https://m.stacker.news/27311 With the arrival of smartphones, webcams are less important to people with desktop computers. Nonetheless, all the laptops in the market have one, in addition to some all-in-one desktop computers. The first online webcam in history was used in the Cambridge University computing lab. Its only objective was to see if the coffee was ready to avoid unnecessary trips to check if the coffee machine had done its job.

Are you familiar with Tolkien's concept of the eucatastrophe? It's actually a little-known idea that he considered integral to his writing and the Lord of the Rings in particular. This makes me think of a new term: euconspiracy. I feel like lots of bitcoiners could be describes as euconspiracists!

The smallest unit of Bitcoin is called a "Satoshi" and is equal to 0.00000001 BTC. This unit is named after Satoshi Nakamoto, the pseudonymous creator(s) of Bitcoin. There are 100 million Satoshis in 1 Bitcoin. The term "Satoshi" allows pricing and accounting to be represented in smaller subdivisions than whole Bitcoins, similar to how dollars are divided into cents.
for high BP, the answer is not decreasing salt (our bodies need a ratio of sodium, magnesium, potassium & calcium), the answer is increasing potassium. and instead of using dangerous chemical meds, you can supplement with natural garlic oil, turmeric, and others. we've been lied to about everything including what is healthy.
