Ah ok. Interestingly, he shot the left part of the branch quite close to the eagle.

Last Thursday, Jason Galvin used a .22-caliber rifle with a scope to fire 150 shots at the distant rope that was tangled around the eagle’s leg.

150 shots to hit and cut the 4 inch (10 cm) of rope (I guess about 1/4 inch (6 mm) at least not more than 1/2 inch (1 cm) thick) between the eagle and the branch located 70 feet (20 m) above ground, so realistically 100 feet (30 m) distance with a rifle that is not his, i.e. without knowing the aiming point.

What? At least in Germany, this is literally the most important thing in tought in driver’s education to always look into the mirrors and over the shoulder to check for traffic (pedestrians cyclists, …) before setting the flashers and turning right (or left).

As far as I understood, @Lazycog@sopuli.xyz was talking about the phonetic alphabet used in the armies of NATO countries, which is standardised by ICAO as Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, … and is not the everyday phonetic alphabet in each country, e.g. in Germany commonly Anton, Bertha, Cäsar, … but there are plenty of different versions and variants for each German speaking country.

If we would go back to Latin, it wouldn’t be the Latin as spoken by Cicero but some Vulgar Latin, as it is the origin of Romance languages like Italian, with simpler grammar.

This reminds me on the niche tool in Mathematica I’ve been using, which has four different assignment oparators for that purpose.

<= is already no mathematical assignment operator, but a comparison operator. Thus there is no need to define e.g. <== for comparing two values.

The main difference, as I understand, is that national socialism is inherently racist and puts the (Aryan) race on top of the ideology, everything else must submit to the benefit of the (Aryan) race, whereas fascism puts the benefit of the state on top.

Trump, as far as I can judge from beyond the pond, is still claiming to put the state, or the United States of America, first, like a fascist would do. His hate speech against immigrants still serves the narrative of them being bad for the US, not of them being disadvantageous towards the benefit of the Aryan race.

AfaIk, posts and comments cannot be exported.

For the rest you may use the “export settings” function in the “personal settings” section on the webpage of your Lemmy instance (yet I don’t know what is actually exported).

Alternatively, you may use one of the tools mentioned in this post (the post is in German, the linked webpages are in English): https://slrpnk.net/post/10923543

Sorry, I don’t have more information than you can find in the Wikipedia articles.

The church that has been set on fire (but not destroyed) in WW2 wasn’t exactly the one on the painting either, as that one was destroyed during the Seven Years’ War.

The Altmarkt (old market square) in Dresden, Germany as seen from the Schlossstraße (1751). The centre shows the Kreuzkirche.

Ah, obviously you’re right and bash is less tolerant to spaces than I’ve had in my mind:

You can declare aliases that will last as long as your shell session by simply typing these into the command line. The syntax looks like this:
alias alias_name="command_to_run"
Note that there is no spacing between between the neighbor elements and the equal sign. This is not optional. Spaces here will break the command.

Preferred over alias is function llaa { … }. Alias is for backwards compatibility.

Again what learned. What is wrong with having spaces around the equals sign, though?

It’s also Münster in English. The peace of Westphalia, i.e. the peace treaties of Münster and Osnabrück, ended the Thirty Years’ War in 1648.

Edit: Precisely, this painting shows ratification of the Spanish - Dutch peace treaty, the “birth certificate” of the Netherlands.

My Lemmy client can’t open it either, as the address ends with .jpg, but opening the link in a browser works fine.

That’s a section from The Ruins of the old Kreuzkirche, Dresden (1765). The church has been destroyed during the Seven Years’ War (1756 – 1763). Wikimedia Commons
