Headline could be misleading, but it basically means that (according to one independent analysis) China's emissions have just stopped growing this year. They are still the world's largest contributor by far. This hilariously optimistic chart from the same site shows them relative to the US and almost all of Europe:
Still, not gonna knock what is good news, or at least "better than the alternative" news
There's like a billion sources, but I think in the story, the horse was supposedly left by the Greeks as an offering to the gods (Poseidon?) for safe passage home across the sea. And then the Trojans saw the Greeks had left, and stole the horse to fuck them over.
But the Greeks had anticipated that, and were lying about leaving anyway. They knew if they left it there, then the Trojans would steal the horse and bring it into the city, so they hid inside and then sprang out to kill the guards and open the gates for the rest of the army. So it wasn't a gift for the Trojans. Also, I think somebody did say that it was a trap, but they were ignored or killed somehow
I read this as "is one of the opposums" and had a whole head canon about this beautiful artistic opossum struggling to make it in the world by selling her art on street corners, before finally being recognized for her brilliance and having the world accept her despite her species. Then I looked at the image again, noticed the name, and re-read the comment. It's too early for my brain.
Fantastisch Geschichte! Diese Katzen sind schön, und ich liebe, dass so vielen Katzen Lilly heißt. Meine Eltern hatten ein dreifarbige (Calico) Katze, und sie war ganz süß. Ich vermisse sie sehr. Mein Bruder hat sie "Snickers" genannt, wie die Süßigkeiten.
Also, vielen Dank für das Schrieben auf Deutsch. Ich spreche Englisch und lerne Deutsch, und es ist sehr hilfreich, die Übersetzung zu sehen. "Er ist ganz schön dehnbar" = "He's a stretchy boy", LOL. Es tut mir leid für mein schlechtes Deutsch.
Love her! Something about her music was just fun.
She also helped my mom and me win a pub quiz. The question was something like "What 1963 song that reached #5 on the charts was a sequel song to a previous #1 hit released that same year?"
I convinced my mom to go with "Judy's Turn to Cry" instead of "Johnny Loves Me," but looking back, that was a crazy difficult question, because "Johnny Angel" and "Johnny Loves Me" were #1 and #7 in 1962. Anyway, we won the quiz and I think like $50 in bar credit.
My new dryer, which is significantly better in almost all aspects than my old one, has a non-adjustable very quiet alert (bell? signal? alarm?). I often can't even hear it, so I find myself completely forgetting about it until later that day or tomorrow.
