    Kestrels and falcons are each others closest relatives.

    Both are more closely related to parrots than to kites hawks and eagles. In fact falcons are more closely related to tits than to hawks. But tits are more closely related to parrots than to falcons. Fuck, eagles and hawks are more closely related to woodpeckers than to falcons.

    Bird cladistics is wild!




  • It’s the BEST! Project Zomboid is in my humble opinion the definite Zombie Apocalypse Survival Game with nothing else coming even close. Especially when modded, but even without mods. Had my Server running for 2 years and played with my friends, it was an absolute BLAST! It ended when we were sieged in our fortress by a horde a screen wide and somebody decided to throw Molotov cocktails at them… because burning zombies set everything they touch on fire… that includes wooden fortresses.

    I specifically had told everyone that the only thing more dangerous then a horde is a burning horde. But did they listen?! Nooooo…

    XD

    It was such a fun ending though, the Zeds breaking through the south wall and us fighting them with everything we had until we were stranded in the garage and the doors were breaking down… so we toasted to having survived that long with bleach and died before they got to us.

    This is also a chart of wealth distribution.

    Some rich countries have a strongly imbalanced wealth distribution (USA, Germany). While others have a more balanced distribution (Norway).

    Better distribution of wealth allows the average citizenry to invest into (relatively expansive) electric cars, while the average citizens in countries with a strong imbalance can’t afford them. Because the countries wealth is held by fewer people.

    This is also a chart of prices of electric vehicles. China is pumping them out cheap.
