TIL, thanks! My first thought was that it might've been a telephony exchange center, data center, or other networking infrastructure hub. There's a building in my city colloquially referred to as "the bunker" built with a similar hardened brutalist style that houses all the main network trunk connections for our state.

In 2023, a woman who went missing for five days in the Australian bushland was found alive after surviving for five days on lollipops and wine.

Yet another reminder to keep a stockpile of food and water in your abodes and cars just-in-case. I haven't been stranded out and about yet, but there was a blizzard a few years ago that I was unprepared for and I nearly ran out of food.

Sounds like he needs some help. No confirmation about drugs yet but the article says he's going to be attending Narcotics Anonymous 3-4x a week

In a nutshell: 1) Fandango buys rotten tomatoes in 2016, 2) they expand/widen the critic reviewer pool to include nobody bloggers, and then 3) movie studios court/bribe small fish reviewers to inflate their scores so they can get the fresh rating as a marketing point for their latest flick.

Nice to finally have this all spelled out. I've been burned several times over the last few years watching movies with like 79% ratings on RT that I thought sucked. Now I know why.

What's the alternative? IMDB is owned by Amazon and has a super dumb recency bias. I use Letterboxd and that might be the best at the moment. But the user base there is smaller and sometimes it feels like the only people reviewing movies are the select few who went out of their way to watch it so they are inherently skewed to like it.

Should've used a size comparison that us Americans would've understood more clearly. Like it's roughly the size of 800 Big Macs or something clearer

They really beat that joke into the ground throughout the course of the episode, but honestly I thought it was funny everytime and didn't get old 🐕🔫👧

beatings and kickings, or how he deliberately set broken bones with insufficient levels of anaesthetic. They also told the court how the doctor had poured flammable liquid on their wounds and parts of their body – and in two cases, including that of a 14-year-old boy, on their genitals – and set them on fire. He injected one prisoner with a deadly poison while the man had been trying to defend himself. He died in front of fellow prisoners.

The court also heard how he had beaten and kicked a young man suffering from epileptic seizures, knowing he had the condition, which led to it worsening. He later administered a pill, which caused the man to die in the presence of his brother

Glad this guy will be behind bars for at least the next 15 years. What a sadistic piece of shit
