For He saw that his minions required a minimal of three frustrating attempts to connect devices, in all His wisdom He required a connector that worked in just one attempt. And He saw it was pretty ok.
"He shows that
with two basic mechanisms, the harmonic transformer
and the three-bar linkage, it is possible to perform
the fundamental operations of arithmetic, addition,
subtraction, multiplication and division, and to
generate ballistic functions."

"The inaccessibility of the retinal blood ves-
sels precludes direct, noninvasive measure-
ments of retinal blood flow. Indirect optical
methods taking advantage of the visibility of
the retinal vasculature must be used. A variety
of methods have been applied.[...] Methods based on the perception of white
blood cells (WBCs) moving in retinal macu-
lar capillaries by means of the blue field
entoptic phenomenon. Macular capillary
blood flow is determined either by counting
the number of WBCs passing in a given time
through a single capillary 13 or by evaluating
the average number and speed of WBCs in
the field of observation using the blue field
simulation technique. [...]"
Really does seem to be the case. I just tried with The Omen and was given a list of countries. Next to the US was an ad to "Stream with NordVPN", suggesting that's the only way to view it here. However, I clicked the Hulu button, and it said US without the ad. Sure enough, I checked Hulu itself, and it's there—no VPN required.
The ad placement is confusing. Hopefully it's not intentional. JustWatch may not be as clean and may have ads of its own, but its entry for the same movie has zero confusion.
"It seems like when the Mosaic Panels of the Cosmos and the Cosmonaut (on the west side) were installed, the builders weren’t full paying attention as they had accidentally switched the position of the two outer panels and rotated one of them by 180 degrees. For the past 44 years, the slightly “abstract” cosmonaut mosaic has now been gracing the streets of Potsdam. It is somewhat strange though that in all that time – not even Eisel sought to correct the mistake."
Without any evidence, I find this notion somewhat naive.

"At 7 Gagarin Street, at the end of the South Ural State Technical College, formerly a polytechnic school, in Chelyabinsk, there is the panel "Space Conquest" (sometimes simply called "Cosmos"), one of the most important Soviet space-themed mosaics."
