SPIEGEL published a leaked transcript from the EU‑Zelensky call: German Chancellor Merz warned Zelensky that US negotiators are “playing games.” French President Macron reportedly warned the U.S. might betray Ukraine on territorial issues. Finland’s Stubb and NATO’s Rutte joined in: “We can’t leave Ukraine alone with these guys.”
There is deep mistrust in Washington’s handling of the peace deal. EU leaders urged Zelensky to be very careful in the coming days as 'great danger' was looming.

Manufacturing process and testing of Fire Point strike UAVs FP‑1/2 and the cruise missile FP‑5 “Flamingo.”
Fire Point recently stated it has also begun producing tactical ballistic missiles. The process of codifying the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile at Ukraine's Ministry of Defense is expected to be completed by the end of 2025.
Satellite images and analysis by Radio Svoboda reveal that this fall Ukrainian Armed Forces struck over 50 strategic Russian energy and defense facilities, from refineries and oil depots to arms‑production plants.
Analysts say this wave of hits hasn’t been seen at such scale before and is already forcing Russia to divert resources for extra protection, while suffering critical fuel and munitions shortages.

Una teglia di metallo rettangolare si trova su una griglia all'interno di un forno. La teglia contiene una costruzione a forma di capanna realizzata con vari tipi di carne lavorata. All'interno della capanna, c'è un aggregato irregolare di carne, con diversi elementi che sembrano salsicce, prosciutto e altri tagli di carne. Un numero di salsicce rosse e altre piccole forme di carne sono disposte in primo piano. La parte superiore della capanna è creata con fette di pancetta sovrapposte a raggiera. Il fondo della teglia è coperto da un materiale chiaro e granulare, presumibilmente formaggio o salsa.

GAS(n.1)
1650s, from Dutch gas, probably from Greek khaos "empty space" (see chaos). The sound of Dutch "g" is roughly equivalent to that of Greek "kh." First used by Flemish chemist J.B. van Helmont (1577-1644), probably influenced by Paracelsus, who used khaos in an occult sense of "proper elements of spirits" or "ultra-rarified water," which was van Helmont's definition of gas.
Questa cosa mi ha fatto entrare in un tunnel... Cercando van Helmont su wikipedia (faccio riferimento a quella in inglese perché spesso è meglio) ho trovato questo passaggio mooolto curioso:
Van Helmont described a recipe for the spontaneous generation of mice (a piece of dirty cloth plus wheat for 21 days) and scorpions (basil, placed between two bricks and left in sunlight). His notes suggest he may have attempted to do these things.
Che tradotto è
Van Helmont descrisse una ricetta per la generazione spontanea dei topi (un pezzo di stoffa sporca più grano per 21 giorni) e degli scorpioni (basilico posto tra due mattoni e lasciato alla luce del sole). I suoi appunti suggeriscono che potrebbe aver tentato davvero di fare queste cose.
È una delle cose più assurde che ho sentito negli ultimi anni. E per fortuna che veniva da un scienziato...
Tanto per dire quali passi la scienza ha compiuto nel frattempo.
La storia del pezzo di stoffa sporco (non specifica in che modo, però...) più grano per 21 giorni mi fa morire...
Nemmeno fosse una ricetta di Minecraft! Erano matti da legare.
