At least there's only one in this case.

A black bear known as Hank the Tank has broken into more than two dozen California homes since July, officials say. Paintballs, bean bags, sirens and Tasers cannot keep the 500-pound animal from seeking leftover pizza and other food. https://t.co/um5y7p2B1L pic.twitter.com/ZlmmzqUVtB

Luxembourgish - The National Language of...

Two points:

1) it's MEDIUM SIZED NOT SMALL!!!
2) I now expect each and every one of you to be fluent in Luxembourgish!

[JoeP]

Seems to me there was a clear citation of "small" there. And another - "current small size". I will have to adjust my concept of Luxembourg. Back to what it used to be.

Moien!

But why blue? People will just think it is a long drink, pretty much all manufacturers make their (basic grapefruit flavoured) long drink cans blue. Which will make foolish people like me sad and angry because beer < long drink.

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Sadness, no Long Drink in BC Liquor Stores. I stand intrigued.

That aside, if you can get this shipped, I recommend it: https://kumquat.gr/en/

Oil painter's prize-winning canvas looks an awful lot like another artist's photo

Jeff Dieschburg is a Luxembourgish artist whose strikingly-modeled oil paintings quickly brought him a little fortune and a lot of fame. His "Turandot", exhibited at the Strassen Stroossen Culture Center, won a €1,500 prize and was presented to Luxembourg's Princess Stéphanie. But there's a problem with it, one that became apparent as news of his talent spread: it's virtually identical to a photograph by Jingna Zhang, but for an earring...
[...]
The Strassen Commune deleted its Instagram post announcing Turandot's prize, but did not contact Zhang, she says. Instead, Dieschburg himself emailed her after her tweet went viral. And not to apologize, either, but to lecture her about copyright.

lol, what a douche.
