A black and white cat is lying on its back, looking relaxed and sleepy, with a hand gently petting its belly. The background is softly blurred.

Element of Crime – Wenn es dunkel und kalt wird in Berlin - hier anschauen Der Film 'Element of Crime – Wenn es dunkel und kalt wird in Berlin' dokumentiert die einzigartige Geschichte von Element of Crime. Seit ihrer Gründung 1985 hat sich die Band zu einer festen Größe in der deutschen Musiklandschaft entwickelt. Regisseur Charly Hübner begleitet die Band auf einer Tournee durch Berlin. Nichts kann, wenn man den Rock 'n' Roll liebt, aufregender und interessanter sein, als bei einer solchen Band hinter die Kulissen zu gucken, sie in ihrem natürlichen Backstage-, Bandbus-, und Bühnenhabitat zu beobachten. Und das hat Charly Hübner getan. Er zeigt Element of Crime als von Humor und Romantik gestreifte, kauzige Männer, die von Liebe singen, von Spargelköniginnen, von altem und neuem Schrott, der rettenden Kavallerie und der Blaumeise Yvonne.

Wer Charly Hübners Film "Element of Crime - Wenn es dunkel und kalt wird in Berlin" letztes Jahr im Kino verpasst hat, findet ihn jetzt in der Mediathek.

Panel 1. Two scientists walking along. The first one says: I have opened a portal into an alternate universe that is an exact reflection of our own!

Panel 2. The second scientist looks into a technical portal and says WOW

Panel 3. A reflection of panel two. The reflected scientist's speech bubble still reads: WOW

Panel 4. A reflection of panel one. The text is all back to front.

74 Ways Characters Die in Shakespeare’s Plays Shown in a Handy Infographic: From Snakebites to Lack of Sleep In the graduate department where I once taught freshmen and sophomores the rudiments of college English, it became common practice to include Shakespeare’s Titus Andronicus on many an Intro to Lit syllabus, along with a viewing of Julie Taymor’s flamboyant film adaptation.

Verfügbarkeit - Säule der Zuverlässigkeit Verfügbarkeit (bzw. Serviceverfügbarkeit ) ist sowohl eine häufig verwendete Metrik zur quantitativen Messung der Ausfallsicherheit als auch ein Ziel für die Ausfallsicherheit.

Derweil wir warten , dass #Zoom wieder geht, können wir etwas über #availability lesen:

Panel 1
A figure stands at a lectern 
"This image illustrates my theory that, presented with a sufficient quantity of intricate formulae, overcomplicated diagrams and impenetrable acronyms, an audience will agree with almost anything." 
The screen is completely packed with such things 

Panel 2,3,4,5.
Four audience members say enthusiastically: "My thoughts exactly!", "Hear, hear!", "I quite agree!" and "Excellent point!"

A scientist stands in front of an enormous contraption
"I created this device to test my theory that our entire reality is a simulation, but the readings I'm
getting suggest something much worse"

 "What?" Asks a second scientist.
"We're living in a cartoon!" Says the first.
 "Does it at least have a good punchline?" says the second.
 The fiorst scientist carefully looks over the data, then eventually replies "Nope"

Panel 1. image of a huge nuclear plant.

“Press cancel to avoid critical overload”

3 - 9. The worker continues to type at the computer. The screen changes in each panel and reads: 
“Enter password to confirm”
“Incorrect password”
“Incorrect password”
“Do you want to reset your password?”

The colour gets hotter in each panel. Starting blue in 1 and ending in red in 9.

Panel 10. Wide view. The entire earth is blown up.
