'The dinosaur's new home is a balcony in the museum's impressive Earth Hall. Below it is Sophie the Stegosaurus who also lived in the Morrison Formation in the Western United States.

'Enigmacursor is tiny by comparison. At 64 cm tall and 180 cm long it is about the height of a labrador, but with much bigger feet and a tail that was "probably longer than the rest of the dinosaur," says Professor Susannah Maidment.'

Very interesting study that shows that it is not so easy to compare groups of people.

"The researchers found that men with the highest fitness levels had a 53 per cent lower risk of dying in random accidents. Yet, it is unlikely that the men’s fitness would have such a big effect on their risk of dying in random accidents."

WIST Quotations

A quotation from Bertrand Russell

What people mean, therefore, by the struggle for life is really the struggle for success. What people fear when they engage in the struggle is not that they will fail to get their breakfast next morning, but that they will fail to outshine their neighbours.

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) English mathematician and philosopher
Conquest of Happiness, Part 1, ch. 3 “Competition” (1930)

I get dozens of #power #energy #electricity #comparison #calls form #indian call centres in Sydney and Melbourne - they won't give up - they want to make me change my power company no matter what so they get a commission - evil #telemarketers #australia - Indians won't comply with Australian laws not to ring so much - they will ring to make money, that is all they care about - brutal marketing technique - this is all because of war in Ukraine pumping up power prices for about last 2 years and government doing nothing but giving subsidies but not curtailing prices - power companies are raking in the profits from government subsidies and high prices

I could not decide which of those photos I am going to process and post here.

Instead I procrastinated and started another project:
I am currently using Excire Foto as a digital asset manager. Running on Win10. With Win11 coming - which I would really hate to use - I installed digiKam. I wanted to see if I can survive without Windows.
Comparing Excire to digiKam so far showed a better performance for Exire. Ok, yet I have to setup an Linux maschine to test digiKam in its native habitat.

And to make it clear - I have no aversion to paying for software - If I could buy Excire for Linux.
Same goes for Affinity Photo, Designer and Publisher. This will be another post.
