Hm. I showed this to my husband, who immediately pointed out that it’s an anti-tank mine and thus couldn’t be foot-activated.

Most reindeer live North of the Arctic Circle, where the sun does not rise above the horizon in winter months. I suspect most summer days are brighter than the few hours of twilight the reideer get in December.

Ah. Well, perhaps I ought to amend it to an average Northern European, then. There are definitely no true scorpions in the Nordics, although we probably have some tiny pseudoscorpids around somewhere. Although I’ve hiked all over Southern Spain and never spotted a scorpion there either.
…which probably says more about my perceptiveness or lack-there-of than anything else.

Huh. There being scorpions everywhere except the Arctic is such a wild statement to your average European. Never have I ever seen a scorpion outside a terrarium despite having traveled and hiked extensively in various countries around the continent.

Are they truly that common in the Americas, even in more temperate climates?

By definition, if Finland is included, we’re talking about Fennoscandia and, if you add in Iceland, it’s the Nordic countries.

Denmark is usually included in Scandinavia, but technically it isn’t part of the Scandinavian peninsula.

However, I know that outside Europe the distinctions aren’t all that important.

I would probably pick Denmark as a favourite based solely on their legal right to hit ice-crossing Swedes with sticks. And Swedes suck balls (source: am Finnish).

However, to be somewhat pedantic, Scandinavia either refers to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, or just Norway and Sweden (the actual Scandinavian peninsula). Finland, Iceland, and the Baltic countries are not part of Scandinavia.

Totality, as in the entirety, of the Alhambra is in the photo.
The most recent eclipse, which is probably what is causing the confusion here, was not visible in Spain.

No one.

Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.

At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in ‘his’ room after 10 pm.

Another Finn here.

Crate-training itself is not illegal in Finland. There are, however, requirements for crate size and limits on how long a dog can be kept in a crate.

My one-year-old pup is crate trained and had enforced crated naps as a puppy. He is a very active breed that tends to have trouble managing their own excitement level, especially when young. These days the crate sits open and the pup elects to sleep in it most nights, and sometimes during the day if he wants to be left alone.

In addition, he has a collision-tested car crate that keeps him safe while traveling. He treats it like his puppy crate and just snoozes through most drives.

I don’t see an issue with crate training if it is done with the dog’s needs in mind. Crate is not a convenient storage to keep your pet in, and a dog should not be left crated for an entire work day. They need space and enrichment in their days to be happy and healthy.

I feel like, for many, the choice isn’t voting for Trump if they’re disillusioned with Biden, but just not voting for Biden. I’m aware the result of inaction is likely the same as voting for Trump, but cognitively it’s easier to stomach.

I’m genuinely curious to know where in the world you live. I would be horrified if someone was peeking under the stalls or bothering people by knocking on the doors.

I mean… if you play video games for hours and hours, your brain will likely learn to play videogames better? Sure. I hardly see a correlation to mass murder here.

If you believe that action repetition is to blame for rewiring people’s brains to be more efficient at mass murder, why not blame the military, or hell, why not just start picketing outside your local airsoft or paintball places?

edit: he’ll into hell. I blame autocorrect.

I’m not the person you’re replying to, but I do recall Lorenz being caught in a lie and trying to cover it with stealth-edits. She has definitely had her (and her publisher’s) agenda take precedent over facts back when she was covering the Depp/Heard trial.

However, while I do try to verify her reporting from other sources, I would not classify her anywhere near the imploding egomaniac billionaire. She’s way better than any billionaire, because there’s no way anyone can amass that amount of resources and not be selfish, problematic, and too far removed from ordinary people to relate to them.

They’re quite unique. They’re a lot more tart and bitter than raspberries, with an after taste similar to that of some particularly tangy craft sour beers. The seeds are also larger, but the slight crunch is actually very satisfying.

The flavour is not universally loved, though, and especially children often prefer cloudberries with a heaping of sugar.

All right, good to know it’s not just me! I hope it’ll be implemented soon, as I really like the wefwef interface in general.

I suppose it’s not too much of a bother to pop into my instance through the browser every now and again just to block a bunch of things.

I’m not sure if I’m just technologically challenged, but I can’t seem to find a way to log into wefwef from a smaller instance. Does it only support the big four?

//edit: Turns out you can only pop in as a guest from the bigger instances. You can log in to any instance, and I’m just dumb.
