The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes
Image of the mechanical ladder outside the Louvre

Text below says WENN'S MAL WIEDER SCHNELL GEHEN MUSS (When you need to move fast)

Underneath is more German text which translates as "The Böcker Agilo transports your treasures weighing up to 400kg at 42m/min - quiet as a whisper."

I’ve made a fair few poor decisions but having my wisdom teeth out without sedation is definitely up there.

Have stopped saying ‘serves X’ in recipes and am now saying ‘makes x servings’. I live alone! It’s not helpful!

This seems to be an unpopular opinion but I’m willing to die on the hill: squeezy bottle mayonnaise is SHITE. Hard to squeeze, you never get it all out, and halfway through usage it starts spluttering and splatting everywhere. Get a jar. Grow up.
