This is an amazing video I stumbled upon a few days ago, one of those things I just have to share. Enjoy:
Paragliding and petting a vulture? Sign me up 🤣
So, what you just witnessed is a newish activity called parahawking, which as the name suggests combines the use of birds of prey with paragliding. The birds guide the paragliders to thermals:
A thermal is a rising mass of buoyant air, a convective current in the atmosphere, that transfers heat energy vertically.[1] credit

In other news, today I finished the new Resident Evil series from Netflix. Sure, it wasn't a masterpiece, but I really don't get all the 1/10 star reviews on IMDB. I guess some hardcore game nerds got really triggered.
Imo, it's a bearable watch. Pretty much the standard Netflix mediocrity you would expect. What I hated the most was the forced wokeness (everybody must be gay or lesbian or whatever) and the high school drama which was a bit too much. I did enjoy though the RE game Easter eggs. The special effects weren't bad either, a surprise considering how Netflix productions typically look like shit.
Just don't treat the series as something that will feel like Resident Evil.
Good enough to kill a couple hours of your time I guess. I'll give it a 5 / 10.
