Known as "torfbæir", these ingeniously designed homes helped settle one of Europe's least-hospitable environments.

Funny bad games reviews
  • Love Matt's channel! Just a comfortable voice to listen to. Still mourning Super Best Friends. :(

  • Welcome to the Weird West!
  • Just discovered the genre through Ghoultown. Amazingly unique! Nice to see a community for it.

  • What lessons should have been learned and implemented from the rise of Hitler and the Nazis in their ascension to power to prevent a recurrence of similar actors and ideological campaigns in future?
  • There comes a point where "marginalized white men" fight back and can become dangerous. There is then a false narrative that we are under attack, and bringing back the Old Ways will fix everything. And who doesn't like safety? Easy selling point.

    That's why Trump won in 2016 and why he can win again. He knows that's what gets him the votes. And the media plays into it too.

  • Legacy and Life Story of Keiko, orca star of "Free Willy"
  • I'm glad you enjoyed it! At least we learned a lot for the release of future whales. :)

  • Legacy and Life Story of Keiko, orca star of "Free Willy"

    Got to reading after visiting Klettsvik Bay, where Keiko was harbored for rehab and release.

    Keiko’s Legacy, 30 Years after "Free Willy"

    Timeline of life events, compiled by cofounder of the Orca Network. Both informative and fascinating.

    Wish we could turn back time..to the good old days.
  • Thomas the Tank Engine with Angry Birds??

  • Toronto, it's worse than Sweden.
  • Goddamnit that's perfect

  • Who is a character you feel is overhated and despised too much ?
  • Well, she was manipulative towards the patients. The worst part was when the young suicidal patient was with the girl and she reprimanded him, saying she was going to tell his mom. And she let him of her sight. It was just a power trip.

  • Be honest... Are you a bad person?
  • This is generally my belief. There is no dichotomy. Life is full of gray areas. Also what is morally virtuous or superior to you may not be the case for others. Take religious differences, for example.

  • Tufted duck mom and kids
  • I'm in Iceland at the moment. Tons of ducklings out right now. Adorable stuff.

  • Reward for fugitive ‘Cryptoqueen’ raised to $5m
  • Wonder if she's even alive

  • The Lone Animator - Stop-motion monster movies and more.🐙
  • Thank you for this! Love stop-motion. This should keep me nicely occupied.

  • What is the best movie to watch without sound?
  • Might have to give it a re-watch one of these days, just for this

  • The United States will need 7 million migrants to cover old age support programs for baby boomers
  • Right! Long-term care sucks for a myriad of reasons - low pay, chronic short staffing, physical demand, dealing with combative demented patients, wiping asses all day. But if you PAY people enough, they will work it.

  • Snapdragon seed pods look like screaming skulls
  • At first glance, I thought they really were skulls!

  • 3 baby frys found overnight
  • Maybe separate them if you want to keep them all, because sometimes fish eat their young. I remember as a kid waking up in the morning and having less fry - they were eating them in the middle of the night!

  • [email protected], for beautiful data!
  • Thank you! Subscribed!

  • Blood Fire Death – Bathory (1988)

    "The Wild Hunt of Odin" is 1872 painting by Peter Nicolai Arbo. I'd love to see it in person someday!

    Sorry, those thoughts have already been overwritten
  • Sometimes I get called out for pacing around when it's like no! I'm actually doing stuff.. except I'm being forgetful and inefficient so I keep having to backtrack >_<

  • A pair of male and female cardinals arguing about seeds 🥰
  • The drama! The sass! 😂 Sometimes you take a picture and it's just gold.

  • Don’t Call It an ‘Ethnic’ Grocery Store: As Asian groceries like H Mart, Patel Brothers and 99 Ranch expand, they are reshaping American eating habits, and the American grocery market
  • Whenever I know I'm going to be living in an area for a while, I check to see if there are any Asian markets are around. Gotta have my staples! So important for fruits and vegetables you wouldn't otherwise find.

    …And You Will Know Us By the Trail of Dead — How Near How Far (2002)

    Sonic wall of angst and yet beautiful.

    Trail of Dead is a post-hardcore band from the 90's. Great sense of musicianship, especially the drumming. Sources and Codes (2002) is an overall 10/10 album for me.

    IDLES – Gift Horse (2024)

    I had no context for this. I'm just on vacation flipping through the TV, this music video by some band unbeknownst to me comes on and I'm going WTF in the best way🔥

    40 types of Italian coffee

    (Sorry, can't seem to find a higher-res photo!)

    Link to the article with a description of each, and maybe a little on the history or place of origin: https://www.apetimemagazine.com/40-tipi-di-caffe-in-italia-li-conosci-tutti/

    It's in Italian though, so hopefully you can use "translate" on your phone or desktop!
