"Spanish flu" is something of a misnomer.

To maintain morale, wartime censors minimized early reports of illness and mortality in Germany, the United Kingdom, France, and the United States.[10][11] Papers were free to report the epidemic's effects in neutral Spain (such as the grave illness of King Alfonso XIII).[12] These stories created a false impression of Spain as especially hard hit,[13] thereby giving rise to the pandemic's nickname, "Spanish flu".[14]

...

The major troop staging and hospital camp in Étaples, France, was identified by researchers as being at the center of the Spanish flu.

| Thinspo (thin inspiration) is positive anorexia reinforcement, like anorexic role model pictures.

Thinspo was originally "thin and sporty" (Thin+Spo) and promoted a super healthy and physically fit lifestyle and positive choices.

Over time it has been co-opted by those with deeply negative body image issues, and those with anorexia fetishes.

I think it may come back in about 10 years coupled with a solar thermal collector.

Red Hat. It is siloed and can be (increasingly) bureaucratic, but I have never experienced rivals or petty managers and it's the least political place I've ever worked.

I always wonder "why?". Like Haiku and other old tech projects I just can't see the sense of spending time and effort on dead tech.

Also, wow that is intensely ugly (but maybe that's just me).
