Polar Bears Cafe (Shirokuma cafe, if you prefer that)
Tied for #1 anime to me.
Nothing but puns and dry humor. Super laid back. Anatomically correct animals (not cute-ified). Clearly a passion project, 50 episodes and almost no one has heard of it. They just kept going. Live-Action credits/after-credits.

-- Eric Clapton wins legal case against woman selling bootleg live CD for £8.45 | Eric Clapton | The Guardian
The court stipulated that she must pay the legal fees of both parties, which total £2,889.
In the highly unlikely event that she continued to list the CD for sale, she could under German copyright law face a fine of up to £212,353 or six months in prison.
Clapton has made headlines in the past 18 months for taking a staunch stance against Covid-19 protective measures such as lockdowns, vaccines and vaccine passports.
He claimed to have experienced a severe physical reaction to his first dose of the AstraZeneca jab, and referred to scientific research
– which has found vaccines to be safe and life-saving – as “propaganda”.

-- German police seize weapons after anti-vaccine threat to top politician - CNA
German police seized a number of weapons in a series of raids on Wednesday (Dec 15 2021), after death threats were made against a top politician over his strong backing for vaccines to fight the pandemic.
New chancellor Olaf Scholz promised to lead the response against a "tiny minority of uninhibited extremists", after an anti-vaccine group allegedly targeted Saxony state premier Michael Kretschmer.
The investigation centred on five men and one woman aged between 32 and 64 who were suspected "of preparing a violent crime that threatens the state", police said.
The case was opened after journalists from public broadcaster ZDF infiltrated an encrypted chat on the Telegram messaging app and reported on the death threats last week.

Creating this to get my post count to 666. I thought I would get it over with. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

666 ... some magic ...

Earth's obliquity oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees[2] on a 41,000-year cycle.
if ( 90 degree -23.4 ) then get 66.6 ...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Axial_tilt#Obliquity_of_the_ecliptic_(Earth's_axial_tilt)
-- Axial tilt - Wikipedia
The rotational axis of Earth, for example, is the imaginary line that passes through both the North Pole and South Pole,
whereas the Earth's orbital axis is the line perpendicular to the imaginary plane through which the Earth moves as it rotates around the Sun;
the Earth's obliquity or axial tilt is the angle between these two lines.
Earth's obliquity oscillates between 22.1 and 24.5 degrees[2] on a 41,000-year cycle.
Based on a continuously updated formula (here Laskar, 1986, though since 2006 the IMCCE and the IAU recommend the P03 model),
Earth's mean obliquity (without taking into account the nutation in obliquity) is currently about 23°26′11.2″ (or 23.43643°) and decreasing;
according to P03 astronomical model, its value (without taking into account the nutation in obliquity) was 23°26′11.570″ (23.4365472133°) on January 1, 2021, 0 TT.

Apple' first computer, why did it cost 666.66 ?

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2316522/The-Apple-set-sell-250-000.html PUBLISHED: 13:07 GMT, 29 April 2013 | UPDATED: 13:18 GMT, 24 May 2013
-- The first computer Apple ever made set to sell for £250,000 | Daily Mail Online
The eye-catching price-tag of the original Apple caused wild speculation as to the reasons behind selling for $666 - the number of the Devil.
But the number was classic Apple; it was design for the sake of it.
Beauty for no reason other than because it looked nice.
Steve Wozniak once revealed:
'I simply like triple digit numbers with all the things I'm involved with.
The cost of making the Apple 1 was around $540 or there about and we agreed on the best markup, retail price above the cost of building it, which worked out to $666.
'Jobs then tacked on the 66 cents to make it an eye-catcher price for the ads with the sale and promotion publications of it to the public.'

-- Apple's original computer fetches $400,000 at US auction - BBC News
An original Apple computer built by firm co-founders Steve Wozniak and Steve Jobs in 1976 has fetched $400,000 (£294,990) at auction in the US.
The rare Hawaiian koa wood-cased Apple-1 - still functioning - is one of only 200 made and sold in kit form.
The computer has only had two owners, a college professor and his student to whom he sold the machine for $650, said John Moran Auctioneers in California.
The sale included user manuals and Apple software on two cassette tapes.

After launching back in 2008, Chrome will reach version 100 early next year but unfortunately this milestone will cause some websites to no longer work in Google's browser.
Although there are no major changes or revolutionary new features planned for Chrome 100, the search giant has been aware for some time that this major release will likely lead to problems for older websites
