Not everyone feels the need to read such articles. I’m glad for this summary. Provided it’s true, but it’s entirely believable.

Frankly? Yes, a bit. I wouldn’t have expected Tesla to make it that high and I would expect Google somewhere near the top. And I guess it focused only on american companies, or I would be much more surprised.
Why are there such high differences around Britain and pretty much nowhere else? I understand why the Mediterranean sea has almost none, such a large volume just can’t pass the Gibraltar, but I don’t understand why there is so much water moving around Britain. Is it just water moving along and being stopped by land wihnout having much other places to flow?
You mean like official EU data? https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/databrowser/view/demo_r_d3dens/default/map?lang=en And “go see in person” is a very bad advice to anything data-related in most cases. Compating population density anywhere in Europe with Netherlands isn’t fair. Poland, Hungary and Romania (and north Balkan as well, it seems) have denser population than rural France, for example. Spain is less densely populated, but still has about as many tennis courts, so it must have much more per capita. It just isn’t a population density map. It is another Iron curtain division map, but even so, Czechia and Slovakia stand out as exceptions. There is interesting information in there.
Are we looking at the same pictures? Spain is less dense, but Poland seems mostly denser than rural France and Balkan roughly the same.
Is it, though? Is Spain, Poland and Balkan so much less populated than Germany or France?

Cool. At a glance, oldest are horse riders and sometimes shooters, youngest skateboarders and some swimmers.
Yes. Behind the toilet.
Do they actually work? I don’t have actual experience, but I heard that they are only used by people who might benefit from them and thus the authors are automatically suspicious to the reviewer, plus you almost always cite your previous papers in a pretty obvious way, so it’s hardly blind anyway.
I relatively often meet 4 of these:
no speed limit (use the normal limit for this type of road)
car tires may defy laws of nature (slippery road, usually followed by a sign saying it applies during rain)
speed camera ahead
no water polluting goods (not very common, but occasionally comes up. There is also no dangerous materials with an orange trapezoid instead of an ellipse)
I also saw don’t drive off the pier (around ferries), watch for skiers (in the mountains with cross-country skiing routes), and warning about planes, although in different design (around airports).
Cool, thanks for the info!
How does Plantnet fare in tropics?
That didn’t sound right, my experience that depending on luck and season, somewhere between 50 and 90 % of big mushrooms I come across in a forest are poisonous or at least disgusting. I admit it’s a very wild estimate and I’m very far from knowing all the mushroom I come across, but still, that seems like a big contradiction. So I followed your link to the primary article.
I suspected that they might only count potentially lethal mushrooms, but no, it indeed seems they count even those that only make you nauseous. The problem is in the other number. The 100 000 means all funghi, it includes for example all yeasts. Most funghi don’t create mushrooms that anyone would consider picking. So the ratio you calculated below is WAY off.
I would also like to note that the number 100 seems to come from a very simple PubMed search. Basically, if nobody wrote a paper about someone being sick after eating a mushroom, they wouldn’t find it. I don’t think that would mean that many foraged mushrooms would be missed, but it is a limitation worth knowing about.
Rubroboletus satanas is definitely poisonous. On the other hand, Imleria badia is very good. Bruising blue doesn’t really say anything about edibility.
I’m not an expert, though.
Not so much Amanita phalloides as Amanita pantherina, that one looks much more similar. But I agree, if you know what you’re doing and don’t pick mushrooms with which you don’t have experience with and aren’t sure about, you’re good.
I used to pick up even Amanita rubescens, an acual (although edible and tasty) Amanita, so even more similar to poisonous ones. But I didn’t have an opportunity for quite a few years and now I wouldn’t dare, until I got an opportunity to verify with someone experienced and trustworthy.
Well, if you want to head that way, there’s Etruscan shrew. Less than 2 grams of weight and 4 cm of length.
So basically angles of ends of streets. Well, there are many options and we just don’t know which one it is.
I use Pocketbook. It opens just about anything - epub, mobi, pdf, pdb, and many more formats. Just get a book anywhere and copy it via USB. Or send it as an email attachment to your special address and it will download automatically. You can even replace the reading app with another relatively easily, if you want.
