I'm so sorry, I meant to say except Bernie - the man is a legend.

Ah, I understand.. Yes, I can only imagine how that feels.

Seems all the doers over there are busy sending the country, and indeed the world, down the crapper.

It may well be just the picture painted by the publications I tend to read, but it's easy to get the impression that the democrats have fallen more or less silent (Bernie excluded), while the republicans are spewing shit from mountain tops all day long. Is that how you American folks feel, too, or is it just my news sources that are failing me?

Edit: I meant to say Bernie not included!

Nobody didn't catch anything.. so they all caught something? /s

Fun activity for a kindergarten! I love to see these types of things for kindergarten/early elementary school level, something beyond what you can do on premises. I have my earliest excursion memories from kindergarten, walking in the forest Identifying plants. Fun way to learn.

Edit: btw, my dad didn't know how to fish either, but he taught oh so many other things, more valuable things in my opinion. Don't feel bad for not knowing how to. Teach him what you know, the rest he'll pick up from friends and whatnot.

The belt buckle was affecting sensitive parts of Hadjar's body..

How did the belt buckle get anywhere near his earlobes? /s

Oooh, that takes me back. I have a double CD around here somewhere, Clubbers Guide to Trance, 1999.

Sure I was, but the noise was one of the things that made the show entertaining, to me. I guess I'm fairly alone in that regard, if a soundtrack on YouTube is the same as hearing a car on track.

I never considered how devastating the collapse of the Berlin wall must've been to some Americans. /s

love America because it doesn’t have kings

I'm not convinced a president who can act with greater impunity than a king in any modern monarchy is better.

I read that a lot, "we don't have a king, thank cod". Is it because you've seen what a hell hole e.g. the Scandinavian countries are? /s

A king in a modern monarchy is nothing more than a representative of the country. He cuts ribbons and holds encouraging speeches on New Year's. That's pretty much it.

The V10 era was peak F1 for a petrol head like me. It really was something special to hear a full field of those set off. Quite literally brought tears to my eyes.

The first V6/hybrid race I went to (Montreal 2014) I ended up leaving early, and one of the reasons was that one the things that really thrilled me about attending an F1 race was just.. gone.

Unless you unfold it (duh), the 9 fold has a smaller screen than the 9 pro.

Fwiw, I've had folding phones for a few years now and never had one break or begin to feel worn, but I'm sure millage will vary a lot depending on use.

Personally I love having the option to quickly get some more screen real estate. Perfect for spreadsheets, presentations, and video. Running things like remote desktop is also nicer. Having two apps side-by-side definitely has its' uses, e.g. I can look at that screenshot/thing someone sent me on slack while I'm typing up my reply (or browse Lemmy while "following" a dull work all hands).

I bought my first folding phone on a bit of a whim, pretty just because I wanted to check it out, but now I think I'd miss it a lot if I didn't have one.

 
 

They can seem deep asleep, but any step in the direction of the kitchen is closely monitored, always.

 

A walk in the forest, Eidsvoll, Norway, this July. The dogs are flat coated retrievers and absolutely adorable.

 

I have all of December off from work, where should I go?

I've not yet done any research whatsoever on this, and figured it would be fun to start off by asking you lot.

Is December even a good time to visit this part of the world, weatherwise?

I'll be traveling alone and I'm not looking for an action packed vacation. Beautiful scenery, tasty drinks and good food will do the trick. Beach vacations aren't normally my thing, but I think that's just what I'm in need of now.

Preferably somewhere I'm not in danger of getting robbed and stabbed every waking minute, too. That would be nice.

I'll be traveling from Norway, btw.
