Also ich habe meine Weihnachtsgeschenke 🤷‍♂️
Das Bild zeigt den oberen Teil einer Jeanshose, deren Reißverschluss teilweise geöffnet ist. Der Jeansknopf trägt die Aufschrift „Lee“. Zwischen dem Knopf und dem Knopfloch befindet sich ein kleines Hilfsmittel aus flexiblem Material – ein sogenannter „Button Extender“. Dieses Werkzeug verlängert den Abstand zwischen Knopf und Knopfloch, um die Hose etwas weiter zu machen. Über dem Bild steht in einem dunkelroten Balken mit weißer Schrift der Text „BUTTON EXTENDER“.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

www.pssoft.de/english/inde...
The image appears to be a screenshot from an old video game or demo screen, rendered in a retro, pixelated art style typical of the late 1980s or early 1990s. The scene shows a dark city skyline at night, with a bright blue sky and black silhouettes of buildings. Some of the buildings have lit windows in a yellow hue. On the right side of the image, a car is exploding, with a figure being thrown into the air from the blast. At the bottom, white text with a blue tint provides a dramatic narrative description: The war rages in the streets, new gang wars daily. No store is secure from raids and protection money collectors. Nobody dares to go unarmed on the streets. Everyday banks are attacked and mail trains are robbed. Even the heaviest weapons are free available. From the police no help can be expected because even the chief constable is open to bribery. In this maze of crime and corruption four gangsters just now released from prison fight for the leadership of the underworld. The tone and imagery suggest this is an introduction or story setup for a crime-themed game, likely involving gang conflicts and urban chaos. The pixel art and typography suggest a DOS or Amiga-era title, possibly from the early 1990s.

Heute: Ende einer Ära: Beliebter Senf wird umbenannt

Als ich jung war, galt noch die Journalismusregel, dass die Schlagzeile die Meldung zusammenfassen muss. Also etwa so:
„Düsseldorfer Mostert“ muss wegen Übersiedlung umbenannt werden.

I'll never forget telling my friend here in the US about how my friend's dad was arrested and tortured by the secret police "mukhabarat" back where my family lives, and was tortured for a month.

My friend replied with, "Why didn't he just call the police?"

It's a similar situation we have today...

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

Everett 13-year-old arrested by ICE and sent to Virginia detention facility By Marcela Rodrigues Globe Staff,Updated October 12, 2025, 44 minutes ago 31 A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by ICE in Everett and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia. A 13-year-old boy was arrested by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Everett after an interaction with members of the Everett Police Department and sent to a juvenile detention facility in Virginia, according to his mother and immigration lawyer Andrew Lattarulo. The boy’s mother, Josiele Berto, was called to pick her son up from the Everett Police Department on Thursday, the day he was arrested. After waiting for about an hour and a half, she was told her son was taken by ICE, Berto told the Globe in a phone interview. “My world collapsed,” Berto said in Portuguese. From the police department, the boy was taken to ICE’s holding facility in Burlington on Thursday evening, where he spent a night before being transferred by car to the Northwestern Regional Juvenile Detention Center in Winchester, Va., on Friday morning, his mother said. The juvenile facility is more than 500 miles away from Everett. The boy is a 7th-grader at Albert N. Parlin School in Everett, his mother said. The teen and his family, who are Brazilian nationals, have a pending asylum case and are authorized to work legally in the United States, Lattarulo said.

Probably the single most common argument against switching to Linux is the absolute non-negotiable requirement of many organizations to have Microsoft Exchange.
