TIL that sharks (a group of fish) are an order of magnitude older than Polaris (literally a star)
Sharks: 419 - 359 million years
Polaris (α UMi Aa): 45 - 67 million years
I’ll need to sit down, stare at a wall for a bit, and process this.

Fun detail: Bourne crosses the border to Poland on a train and a border police agent checks his passport, but at the time the movie released (July 2004) Poland had already joined the EU (May 2004) so there were no more passport checks at the german-polish border.
Edit: actually the film gets this right. Poland had signed the Schengen treaty that among other things removes regular border control in 2003 but only started implementing it in 2007.

Oh, and the big chase sequence where he basically teleports from Bahnhof Zoologischer Garten to Friedrichstraße while running from cops on foot (which is 4 S-Bahn stops).

Then he tells Nicky to meet him at the World Clock on “Alexanderstraße” (which is actually on Alexanderplatz). She then gets on a tram there that “goes to Alexanderplatz station” which is impossible because that tram we see in the scene just came from Alexanderplatz station and is now going north into the district of Prenzlauer Berg.

He’s at Ostbahnhof, then at Oberbaumbrücke and then immediately at the hotel Westin Grand near Brandenburg Gate.
If you want to go from Ostbahnhof to Brandenburg Gate, you don’t go over that bridge through Kreuzberg, especially not by car.

The part of The Bourne Supremacy (2004) that are set in Berlin really make no geographical sense. It’s hilarious.

Any good offline music player apps for macOS (other than VLC an IINA)?
Airplay support would be a big plus (the way Apple Music does it, without having to send all system audio to airplay)
