This nonverbal Signal for Help is a way to discreetly communicate when you need help.
But, of course, a hand sign isn’t enough.

Waymo is occasionally violent and random, but so far not worse than average Atlanta driver. It does have a strange idea of routes though, and took me on a massive detour to get to campus today.

As soon as I read this title I thought "please don't be Kallmann syndrome". It's bad enough having a rare condition no one has heard of named after a dodgy eugenicist, now anyone who has heard of it will think of it as "that thing Hitler had" 😭 www.thejc.com/news/world/h...
Hitler had one testicle and possibly a micropenis, according to new DNA analysis - The Jewish Chronicle
The rumour that the Nazi leader had Jewish ancestry has also been debunked

Canada pushes to join Eurovision: ‘This is about protecting our identity’
Country explores taking part in the glitzy song contest as it distances from the US and seeks to deepen ties with Europe
When Canada released its federal budget this month, much of it was standard fare, from the plans to downsize the public service to the boost in defence spending.
But one line tucked in the nearly 500-page document has captured imaginations on both sides of the Atlantic: a mention that the government is working with Canada’s national broadcaster to explore participation in the Eurovision song contest. Continue reading...
