Arrived in Kruger today and have already seen about 20 elephants and a bunch of kudu, buffalo, giraffe, and baboons.
Oh, and that bird from The Lion King. Zazu, I think his name is.
Kruger is beautiful.

Images shared to social media indicate that the Russian PTKM-1R (ПТКМ-1Р) top-attack anti-vehicle landmine was recently employed in Ukraine. This munition is not known to have been previously employed on operations. It was shown for the first time outside Russia by Rosoboronexport JSC in November and December last year, 2021. The PTKM-1R is distinct from conventional anti-vehicle mines in its ability to attack the top of an armoured vehicle. The top of a tank or other armoured fighting vehicle (AFV) is typically fitted with thinner armour than its front or sides—hence the top is almost always the most vulnerable aspect of an armoured vehicle.
The PTKM-1R is a high-explosive (HE), top-attack, shaped-charge, anti-vehicle landmine. The PTKM-1R system functions by detecting and tracking a target. Once a target has been identified, a submunition is launched into the air toward the target, functioning so that it attacks the vehicle’s roof.
So somewhat similar to the Javelin, but in mine.

TIL The first Mediterranean denoscription of the New World predates Columbus's expedition by over a century. Galvano Fiamma of Milan described the New world some time between 1339 and 1345, likely learning of it from sailors visiting Genoa.

A 2005 Deutsche Bank report referred to it as a “bizarre” “triple-pay” system, in which “the state funds most research, pays the salaries of most of those checking the quality of research, and then buys most of the published product”.

Is the staggeringly profitable business of scientific publishing bad for science?
