It's an easy mistake to make since the Leibniz Kekse were originally copied from LU biscuits, so they look very similar

LU cookies (e.g., Leibnitz in Germany) | Mondelez

I'm pretty sure Leibniz Kekse are made by Bahlsen, which is a German company. Or am I missing something?

There's Ghost Commander, if you want a foss alternative to Total Commander. I remember the switch as Ghost Commander feeling basically the same but slightly better.

Nice, I will immediately test if my microwave is modern enough. Brb

That's exclusively through the matrilineal line though. The most recent ancestor is much more recent.

But your article linked to what I was referring to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identical_ancestors_point (and the mitochondrial Eve is a cool concept either way)

To bring it back to Shakespeare:

Adam's sons are my brethren, and truly I hold it a sin to match in my kindred.

Für Leute, die gerne englischsprachige Medien konsumieren: Ich hatte mal recherchiert, ob man sich bei Bibliotheken in den USA auch als Nicht-Einwohner registrieren kann. Tatsächlich geht das bei manchen.

Zum Beispiel: https://queenslibrary.org/get-a-card/eUser
Kostet 50$ im Jahr, aber für viel Leser lohnt sich das vermutlich trotzdem. Ich hab es selbst bisher allerdings noch nicht probiert. Ist also kein Erfahrungsbericht, sondern nur mein Rechercheergebnis.

As a teenager I never wore dresses, skirts or nail polish because I didn't want to be seen as a girly girl. I was into science and books and that didn't seem to fit the vibes.

I'm glad that I figured out in my twenties that being in a male-dominated tech field doesn't require you to dress masculine or wear nerd shirts. If you're into that, that's great, but it's also okay to wear dresses or put on make up if you work as an engineer or a software developer.

I remember a professor at uni telling us that at some time in the future each of us will either be the ancestor of every living human or of none.

Equally, if you go back far enough, you will find a common ancestor with every other living person, thus making us all related.

While that seems unintuitive – what about the members of some remote tribe without contact to civilisation? –, keep in mind that even the most remote tribe has to have contact with some neighbouring people . Otherwise they wouldn't have enough genetic diversity. And those neighbours are in contact with their neighbours and so on.

Edit: Changed "intuitive" to "unintuitive"... Oops

Baden-Württembergs Innenminister Thomas Strobl (CDU) hat den Vorstoß seines Parteikollegen Arnold verteidigt. "Für den Schmutz, den man macht, ist man selber verantwortlich", so Strobl.

-- Stobl, putzt bestimmt ebenso wie Arnold jeden Tag sorgfältig sein Büro und alle Klos, die er benutzt hat.

If anyone is in need of a more secure option in these dystopian times: drip keeps all your data on your phone. You can export the data, so you can keep the tracked data when changing phones. I only use it for tracking my cycle and sometimes symptoms though, so I can't say much about using it for birth control.

I think the reason might be racism.
