Questionable methods.

In the article someone linked below I found this section :

Archaeologists preserved the newly discovered remains using a variation of a technique developed by Italian archaeologist Giuseppe Fiorelli in 1863. The process involves pouring liquid chalk into cavities left by decomposing bodies; this plaster fills gaps in preserved bones and teeth, creating a cast of the bodies as they looked at the moment of death.

So you find a cavity with bones and other remains in there and use it as a mold I suppose? They probably were excavating the city from the ash cover and when they found something that could be remains of a human they stopped digging and used said techniques to preserve the remains.

From what I read, I think it's that the drones and/or missiles that are used to attack the airbases quite deep in the mainland use a special form of homing equipment that is not depending on any outside signal, which could be disrupted for example gps. So those weapon system rely on infrared or other means of self homing equipment to manage the final approach on target. The tires are supposedly meant to disrupt the systems that use visual clues for final approach also disrupting thermal imaging, kind of like dazzle camouflage is intended to work on warships.

If that is effective or work in any way I don't know, but if it does it is a cheap and fast solution until a more broader defense mechanism is crafted.

If not, you haven't spend a lot on trying, to solely rely on it forever would be dumb, but to as a makeshift temporary solution I don't see much wrong with it, except that it looks silly. But just like the cage roofs on tanks personally I doubt it will have a meaningful impact.

During basic military training, doing push ups the instructors would yell out "ONE" and we all would answer "AAAND"-"TWO" and so on, and I swear it helped getting through them. Generally doing sport in a group helped me push further.

Just don't patronize me. "You're just hungry" will make me angrier.

Don't even mention it, just throw food at me. I will know what you're doing, but deep down I'll also know that you are right and will eat silently. In five minutes I'll very likely say that I'm sorry for being a dick.

To be clear I am usually a very friendly person and when I am in a mood like described above I had a very stressful day and didn't eat for 24 hours, so this is an extreme example.

Studie: Lehrer beurteilen Jungen und Mädchen nicht objektiv

Etwas anderes Thema aber kreative Punkt erinnern mich an eine Geschichte aus meiner Realschule.

Eine Klassenkameradin konnte sich in einer Mathearbeit nicht an die korrekten Formeln erinnern und hat einfach das beschriebene Dreieck sorgfältig auf ein DIN A4 Blatt gezeichnet und die gefragten werte mit dem Geodreieck ausgemessen (erstaunlich genau auch noch).

Sie hat Punkte für das korrekte Ergebnis und Kreativpunkte für die Idee bekommen, aber Abzüge für den "falschen" Rechenweg. Und es gab nie wieder Aufgaben mit Werten die auf ein a4 Blatt passen würden.
