  • The Tiger gained the dubious distinction of being the first jet aircraft to shoot itself down. On 21 September 1956, during a test-firing of its 20 mm (0.79 in) cannons, pilot Tom Attridge fired two bursts midway through a shallow dive. As the trajectory of the cannon rounds decayed, they ultimately crossed paths with the Tiger as it continued its descent, disabling the aircraft and forcing Attridge to crash-land the aircraft; he survived with a broken leg and multiple broken vertebrae.

    From Wikipedia

    I think just saying that it hit itself due to its high speed doesn‘t really tell the whole story.




  • Currywurst Pommes is a proper meal. In due time it will merge with the Döner to something awe inspiring, an unseen godly feast of epic taste, but at the moment we‘re stuck with Döner Box with Pommes

    I foresee we will get to choose Currywurst sauce at the Döner place one day. They already started with curry-mango. We’re slowly getting there. It will be the dawn of a new day, a new hope for a new people that understood that Döner and Currywurst are just two sides of the same coin











  • Digital photo cameras often actually filter out infrared. But even if they wouldn’t it probably would be hard to tell if something is warmer than the surrounding by looking at a photo or video. What you need is a specific device that is calibrated for a specific spectrum of infrared, such as a thermographic camera.

    I think there was actually at least one smartphone that had a thermographic camera installed, but that’s a very specific use case for e.g. construction work.
