Bill Murray movie, but possibly

Interestingly I just watched the German-dubbed version last night and my gf (native German speaker, hence the weird viewing choice) pointed out that Bill Murray actually speaks with Tom Hanks' voice (same dubbing actor).

A new DB: actor2germanvoiceactor.com

"Tom Hanks and Bill Murray are the same person" was an interesting finding :-)

Uh-oh, so did Quebec's Fred la Marmotte. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/fred-la-marmotte-die...

Should I be worried?

Both the tragedies seem a very bad omen, don't they? I generally am not prone to superstitions but this (also given the whole mess taking place in the world during the recent years, cold gloomy weather and excess of stress this week) really feels spooky.

Finally, somebody found a good use for the internet. Love the idea. Edit: The only thing I'm missing is some pictures of real groundhogs. > Includes enterprise-grade API for corporate use cases. Lmao, brilliant.

The pictures of real groundhogs are all there in the individual profiles, it just turns out that half of them are stuffed.

It's interesting how few groundhogs there are west of the Mississippi. I guess here out west the weather doesn't matter as much.

I know, and not only are they fewer, but they are also mostly not real, alive groundhogs once you get that far.

We don't have a lot of groundhogs out here. :) I know in Oregon they use a Beaver instead.

Now this is a happy thing to find. The internet just got incrementally better. There's hope for us all. :) Thank you!

Having a viewport issue with the tables. "Groundhogs" runs over the right margin on desk and mobile. I can zoom it out to see the whole thing on desktop, but not mobile (zooms in but not out). My browser fonts are set to "large." Desktop, Macbook 2017, 1280px wide: https://paste.pics/2756a626c59b8c309e43fa4b7b67d16c Mobile, Pixel 4XL, 412px wide: https://paste.pics/e58e17c7c05b9d404f74367d3fbb6c48

Perhaps the left menu bar could be narrower (lot of horiz whitespace there)? Or the column widths could be narrower?

"Predictions" table looks good on desktop, but cuts off last 2 columns on mobile.

Everything else looks great. I love the map.

The good news, if you can call it that, is that both critters were presumably found dead just before Groundhog's Day, having died quietly at some time earlier in their hibernation.
