I'm weeping at the damage to those floorboards. Could they not have been lifted first?

Mark Gurman, who's normally dead on the money when it comes to Apple, thinks they're unlikely to keep up annual releases (though I should note the linked article suggests the new iPhone model schedule is unlikely to change for now).

There's no safe way to answer this without giving away plot points, I don't think. Most important thing is that it's sci-fi, not a drama about developers in the way you might expect.

I loved Season 1, but I felt it became bogged down after that - almost a soap opera.

The gameplay was fun (though I agree about the ghosts), but I found the writing obnoxious. Super melodramatic and weirdly absurdist, but at the same time really quite tedious.

Gandalf is the name of a dwarf in the Norse Poetic Edda (from which Tolkien borrowed a bunch of names, mostly dwarves). He supposed – probably accurately – that it meant "wand-elf", but he originally gave the name to Thorin.

Ah - "lost" in OP's link is a misleading word, then!

That's nearly 1 in 200 Russian citizens that have ~~died~~ been injured or killed in the Ukrainian invasion, if my math is correct:

696410 / 144544546 * 100 ‎ = 0.482

I can't work out the handle either. It's a socketed axe, so it can be fitted to different hafts, but this seems unwieldy. Maybe it's used for driving downwards, using the weight of the haft?

Here's a brief video about axes at Must Farm by one of the archeologists.

It was a joke, but the article itself does explicitly conclude this as one of its observations:

The findings raise big questions about the limits and future of polling, which relies on voters giving responses reflecting their real-life political behavior.

Mushrooms are your basement-dwelling long-lost cousin's genitalia.
