I would think so too, but I don’t think this image is actually from the mint. At least, I can’t find it on the Bank of Greece’s website. Their euro banknotes & coins page actually doesn’t show the national side of the coins at all, only the common side
I’d guess that it is an exact replica of a different coin. If you look for pictures of Athenian owl tetradrachms (the ancient coin is a tetradrachm, but different times and places within the ancient Greek world had different designs) then you’ll see that there are lots of little variations. I haven’t found one that matches the euro design exactly, but you’ll get the idea
The North Coast 500 (the one in Scotland) is due to a pass called the Bealach na Bà. There’s a big sign warning about the danger of taking large vehicles along it, but it’s not strictly banned or impossible, and as such people absolutely do take caravans on it. They really shouldn’t, but they do
Atmospheric pressure is about 14.5 psi, but a US quarter is only about 0.72 square inches in area. As a result it’s 10.5 lbf in total. I think that should probably be fine? Like, I can’t pretend to be an expert here, but frankly I think my arsehole is made of sterner stuff than that
I do wonder, though, if it’d create a steady airflow through your whole digestive system if you just left your mouth open. I bet that’d feel confusing
Most likely they’re using one of those programs that tints the screen warmer colours in the evening, like f.lux
He was consistently friendly to all three while in power, I can’t say I’m that surprised unfortunately
However, any secretary general candidate can be vetoed by any of the five permanent members. I really can’t see France allowing him
It was the opposite, wasn’t it? It was meant to provide answers to pub debates about things rather than be the topic of them, if I am remembering correctly
This seems like quite a needlessly hostile response
It actually makes sense once you know how it started! In the early 1900s Michelin wanted to encourage people to drive more (and therefore use tyres more), so they made a guide that was essentially a road trip companion. It had some instructions on basic car repairs, locations of mechanics and hotels, and of course good restaurants to visit along the way. Over time, the restaurant recommendations got particularly popular, so they leant into that
According to the site’s FAQ and about pages, the articles are AI output
The Gripen has already had one engine replacement as well, the Gripen E has a different one from prior versions. That’s actually part of the problem - the old one was an American design built on licence in Sweden, but the new one is just American
Edit: I’m stupid, didn’t realise that the video actually mentions this specifically. Although I think that comparing the afterburning thrust is a bit off without also mentioning that the non-afterburning thrust, the one used most of the time, is actually higher for the Eurojet
While I do not mean to imply that military fighter jet engines can just be trivially hotswapped, I wonder if the Eurofighter’s engine could be adapted as a replacement? The Eurofighter itself has two because it’s a much larger aircraft, but the individual engines are actually pretty close in dimensions, weight, and performance
It has a active protection system which can handle incoming missiles, that will be a solid defence against drones too. Russia has developed an APS which they’ve used successfully in the invasion, but they only had it ready a few months before their full-scale invasion started, so it’s only on newly-built or fully-refurbished tanks. It also has the drawback that it was initially designed to deal with missiles; Ukraine figured out that it could eventually be overwhelmed by just sending enough drones at it to drain its relatively limited ammo, something that would be impractical with expensive missiles, but until then it apparently handles incoming drones pretty effectively. The Challenger’s one has the benefits of being designed with the knowledge of what drone warfare looks like
It’s also worth noting that nobody publishes videos of drone attacks failing. A cheap little quadcopter with a grenade strapped to it is, ultimately, jut a way to throw a grenade unusually far. A tank like this can shrug off a grenade. Attacking them requires bigger, heavier, more expensive drones carrying bigger, heavier, more expensive munitions. Or you use the drone to sight artillery. But the point remains that even in the age of drone warfare, tanks are still harder to kill. There’s a reason both sides are still using them
It’s not often that we have to learn to make sounds like breathing in instead of out!
I took some time to learn a whole bunch of consonants from different West African languages for the sake of getting names right while running a D&D game. This one gave me, as a native English speaker, even more trouble than the double-articulated ones
I think it’s a fake, but I cannot fathom why it would be. There’s a tumblr post from a totally separate user with the exact same text barring the weird t, and the @randomuser profiles on twitter and bluesky don’t look anything like this one
There are certainly flavour diagrams for specific types of alcohol. Scottish whisky, for example, either gets represented as a wheel of different non-competing flavours or with two axes of smoky - delicate and rich - light
I definitely can’t outrun a tiger but they’re still amazing and I would 100% pet one if I could do so without becoming lunch
