This reminded me that Stockholm had a big anti vaccine/COVID mandates protest. Sweden didn't even make masks mandatory, much less vaccines. Restaurants, theaters, etc never closed and I don't think masks ever got above 25%, if not less.

what COVID mandates were they complaining about there were literally none
Well yeah, because the protests worked! Imagine what would have happened if those brave patriots hadn't protected your freedoms!

Unfortunately people just assumed it was an L/R transliteration error.

considering the Arion origin story, it's best off considered humorous engrish

Shouldn't that crossing be famous by now in that area? Do people not understand if your intake is low, you're screwed? Like, obviously, I love it, because it's content. I've even driven through some 'puddles' that was stupid, but made it. But when it's like 2-3' deep... i just don't get it.

Presumably, a 7 minute, 2.8 mile detour is worse than having to claim on their insurance (or pay the local tow truck driver £100).

It's a ford, the height will change depending on how much rain there's been recently

Nothing to see here. Move along.

The obvious answer is you lower the water table. That way when it rains it takes more water to get to that height.

The Iwan story reminds me of when the UK woodworking competition show The Chop had a contestant with nazi and white supremacist face tattoos, including 88 and the Sig rune.

When promotional material aired and viewers pointed out the obvious nazi tattoos, the network's response was incredible.

Sky History posted:

Darren’s tattoos denote significant events in his life and have no political or ideological meaning whatsoever. Amongst the various numerical tattoos on his body, 1988 is the year of his father’s death. The production team carried out extensive background checks on all the woodworkers taking part in the show, that confirmed Darren has no affiliations or links to racist groups, views or comments. Sky History is intolerant of racism and all forms of hatred and any use of symbols or numbers is entirely incidental and not meant to cause harm or offence.

The carpenter has denied any association with far-right groups and said the 88 symbolizes the year of his father’s death. Doubt has been cast over this claim, however, after the MailOnline discovered that Lumsden’s father is alive and well.

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents. We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.

I distinctly remember exclaiming quite loudly to my parents "This is bullshit" when we got out of the theatre. Episode One: Racer was a redeeming factor though. Ended up with a legit Nintendo Magazine record time on a track.

Probably impolitely late to quote this, but my ex-wife and I saw Phantom Menace the Sunday morning after its release in LA. This was back in the day when you couldn't get advance tickets or buy them online and I figured (correctly) that it would be the first showing that wasn't packed to the gills. I was super excited to go and she was at least ok with it. I'll never forget walking out after the movie in silence until I turned to her and said "what the gently caress was that?"

Head's up, Steve Dildarian (creator/voice of Tim) has a new show on HBO Max. Ten Year Old Tom, which is basically Life and Times of Tim if Tim was a little kid so he has even less control over his life.

Hell yeah, good lookin' out homie. I liked the writing and acting in Life and Times and was bummed it quit after 3 seasons.

Seems like it's well known to the point people are hanging out there for fun, as well as driving over there with big enough trucks to actually clear it and just splashing people, like those rollercoaster boats at water parks :allears:

Perhaps that was Putin's plan, to do a quick strike that failed, but he would not have gone through this without backup plans or the idea he'd have to pivot

Remember, he wanted to host Sochi so very badly in part to line all this poo poo up. He invaded Crimea 3 days before the Olympics were even over, events were still happening and medals being given while the tanks rolled.

That was 2014, and it sets up a situation that can go nowhere except an inevitable confrontation, a ticking time bomb of geopolitics. This has been in the works for at least ten years, if not more. Dude is not gonna be easily disheartened that his quick strike didn't work. He'll just switch gears until he finds what works.
