The first Friday in May, June and August there is a Currywurst-Fly-In at Hodenhagen EDVH. Lots of light aircraft, including some vintage aircraft from all over Germany and neighboring countries meet up to have a local delicious Currywurst, watch and talk about airplanes and have a good time.

I was there with our club's C172, and it was a really nice way to spend the day.

Solar panels destroying farms? The U.S. President and members of his cabinet say so. The peer-reviewed science says otherwise — and we've got the receipts.

We're back with another FUD-busting episode, and this time it's something near and dear to Nikki's heart. From claims that renewable energy can't coexist with farming, to the idea that solar panels monopolize prime agricultural land, we dig into the actual evidence — and show this narrative for what it is: a malicious attempt to stop farmers, rural communities, and working families from gaining the energy independence that could save the family farm.

Max, das bunte Strickhorn, schaut begeistert am tastaturlosen Flachrechner zu, wie im 3D-Röntgenmikroskop eine Probe nach erfoglreicher Messung zurückgedreht wird. Neben dem Webcam-Videostream gibt es eine kleine Animation mit Live-Daten des aktuellen Winkels; der rotierende Pfeil zieht eine bunte Spur hinter sich her.

On this week's episode of TEN — Transport Evolved News!

The Volkswagen ID. Polo is officially revealed, Toyota uses years of customer ignorance on EVs to become one of the strongest-selling EV brands of the year thus far, and President Trump's White House pays more energy companies to give up their wind leases and invest in fossil fuels.

Noch mehr Material vom letzten Jahr. Da musste ich mir für so einen Termin frei nehmen, und dann habe ich das natürlich gerne mit einer kleinen Radrunde und dem Ernten von Äpfeln und Birnen verbunden.

Vor allem Birnen 😋

Hello! I was asked to try out the demo of Symmetry Break Studio's Deep Fog Signals. Streamed on May 15, 2026.

当彩色部件与支撑骨架被剥离后，礼服本身更显幽微——黑中隐黑的效果正在于此——但Viktor & Rolf的标志性语汇依然可辨：从维多利亚时代启发的严谨廓形，到重磅绉纱、缎面与真丝薄纱等经典高定面料构筑的梦幻瀑流。在此形式下未能充分展现的是Christian Louboutin的鞋履，尤其是Elie Top令人惊叹的高级珠宝。但设计师们独一无二的特质——灵动专注却不失轻盈，转瞬即逝又根基深植——始终完好如初。
