My sincere condolences for the near future of Americans, and especially for my and their close friends and family.

It’s actually designed for rain, and adapted for the extreme rains expected with the torrents and downpours resulting from climate change. It looks nice upstream, and the work will continue downstream where there are currently porous drain planes and culverting.

The picture looks like it’s AI generated for a The Onion piece. 😂

At least they had compassionate nurses…

Painted into a corner, the Nusslocks were forced to drive to a nearby facility that was not bound by religious restriction — but not before a nurse at Providence handed them a bucket and some towels “in case something happens in the car.”

I love jackdaws. They’re smart and mischievous.

He was (likely) wrongfully imprisoned for a crime that occurred 26 years ago. So it’s both long imprisonment and the costs of trying to overturn the conviction, including fact seeking, labs, lawyers, prosecutors, judges etc.

The Erasmus program enabled a lot of Britons to study abroad and widen their perspectives. I think it brought a whole lot of benefits to the UK, and while it obviously benefited almost every youth participating in it, I think that the UK as a whole probably benefited the most.

The article was very well written. Unfortunately, 90% of the people I’d forward it to would be TLDR…

Share your own experiences.

For my part, life and (way too many family) deaths has interfered with any serious social engagement including moderating the communities I tried to start. Most of the mad Facebook shit is something I myself had to block because of mental health.

But feel free to contribute.

Except the bystander effect mentioned in the “original” Kitty case is not the same as a shocked “We’re here and what the fuck just happened in the last two seconds!?”.

I’ve been an eye witness, and it’s a serious difference between “a few seconds of something horrible happening” and “wtf, someone is doing prolonged horrible deeds and murdering someone”.

I sincerely hate Makowiec, but will eat it out of politeness (and will poke out some stuff due to “gluten”).

Had a funny funny with it at a festival a couple of years ago, just post the Covid restrictions. Had eaten a heavy load of poppy pastries that last week due to relatives birthdays and christenings, and I was pulled into “routine testing” as I was in a pretty “Happy” company at the festival where we all were held over night because some had taken illicit funsies.

Yeah, was a lot of misunderstandings and not fun.

 
 

OC, but not ”my” photo. Posted with permission by the person who took the photo this morning.

 

Found this on the sidewalk yesterday. Probably (tastefully) arranged by someone, but as it’s late summer in the middle of a heat wave it stood out.

Taken from a Swedish news broadcast (a sad story about a father and his child who drowned when swimming in a river).

 

From the article:

The man is blaming the automaker even though the manual door opener was under his left hand the whole time.

A man in Arizona says that he was recently trapped in his Tesla after getting in, closing the door, and then realizing that his battery was dead. What he didn’t know is that the manual release for the door was under his left hand the whole time. Now, he’s blaming the automaker and raising awareness.

Rick Meggison, 73, says that Tesla needs to address what he calls a “safety concern” involving how to exit the car when the battery dies. The main door latch actuator on all Tesla models is electronic so if the 12-volt battery dies it won’t work. To ensure safe exit of the vehicle Tesla includes a manual release. Meggison didn’t know about that and ended up trapped in his car for 20 minutes on a hot day.

“I couldn’t open the doors. I couldn’t lower the windows. The computer was dead, so I couldn’t open the glove box. I couldn’t open anything,” he told ABC7. Of course, he could’ve opened the door in about two seconds had he known that the manual release was just ahead of his window switches. His situation has many wondering who’s to blame in situations like this.

 

I've been watching Trucker Dashcam // Sweden while cleaning around the house today, so this is from another one of his videos. His one of the nicest truckers I've ever heard of. He mainly does dashcam compilations nowadays, and includes videos from friends and subscibers as well.
The GIF is severely cropped and small, sorry. Used ImgFlip again, will look into some better options soon.

In the clip (and the timestamp in the below timed link) you see the trucker approaching a toll station. Apparently "clever" car drivers think it makes more sense to take the pedestrian/bike path to avoid the toll station and instead save a few SEK.

Sju personer har fått föras till sjukhus i Kristianstad i helgen efter att de varit ute på krogen och nu uppmanar polisen allmänheten att vara uppmärksam.

– Sedan i fredags har vi haft sju personer som har fått föras till sjukhus i Kristianstad efter att fått i sig en okänd substans. Samtliga har varit ute på krogen i Kristianstad. Flera har blivit medvetslösa till följd av detta och har varit i behov av sjukhusvård, säger Evelina Olsson, presstalesperson hos Polisen.

Både män och kvinnor drabbade

De drabbade är i 20 till 30-årsåldern och både män och kvinnor. Polisen vet inte vad de fått i sig men man inväntar provsvar och ska hålla förhör med samtliga drabbade.

– Eftersom vi inte vet vad avsikten med detta är så vill vi att personer, som är ute i krogsvängen i Kristianstad den närmaste tiden, är lite extra uppmärksamma. Att man håller koll på sin dryck och mat. Om det är nån som vet vad det här kan handla om så vill vi gärna ta del av de uppgifterna, säger Evelina Olsson.
