The next time you are asked how high Triglav, the highest peak in Slovenia, is, the correct answer will no longer be 2864 meters, as we were taught in school, but 2863 m!

The measurement is the result of the transition to a new system of geodetic measurement, which provides the Geodetic Administration with more accurate data on the topology of the surface. The new height system no longer has its starting point in Trieste, and the result is that other peaks will also receive height corrections, albeit small ones. But what is little for Triglav, in the case of floods, 34 centimeters can be a decisive difference.

"First a stickman, half a cow." Oh, those expectations! Everyone expects something from us. Parents, teachers, bosses, society in general. As a result, many people are a projection of the expectations of others and not what they actually want to be themselves. Civilization has set rules, norms, guidelines by which we must behave and live in order to be 'normal'. The animal world has already shown us that sooner or later a bird has to leave its nest, and humans also become independent at certain ages. This is usually after graduation or even earlier. Then we are expected to go our own way, to stand on our own two feet. But the demands of society do not end there. Let's see when we are expected to have children, when our own car...
