I only see one?
Doh. Counting bumblebees as bees!
Not intuitive to me. Swedish might be pretty darn close to English (in a global view), but our word for bumblebees is entirely separate from bees. Humla & bi. So I guess that carries over for me.

Iirc there's been a few cases here in the Nordics of people who grew up in Thailand (iirc) eating really poisonous mushrooms because they look like nice edible ones there.
I know enough to know that I can identify only one edible and one poisonous kind. One each. Out of the gods know how many are out there.

The Gaza Strip is less than 2/3 the size of the City of Chiacgo.
It has about 89% the population of Chicago.

What should be going on there is debate on which metro lines to build next. Not where to hide from a war forced upon them by corrupt fascists (on both sides. oh, and are fascists ever not corrupt?).

Outer tracks for the local service, inner for express.
And inner built to facilitate connections onwards is both directions, for both passenger & cargo.

Once again I find myself sketching in all the infrastructure we could be having instead of endless conflicts & war.

Yeah, I'm thinking freight would be of interest only when there's connections to both Egypt and Israel and on to Turkey etc.

This #racist #antisemite led #Canada for 21 yrs.

#MackenzieKing’s “cheerleading” for #Hitler’s regime got a tremendous boost during his tour of landmarks of the #Nazi “miracle,” as Teigrob recounts in riveting detail. The photographs tell a very chilling story as well, especially one that shows King sitting proudly in Hitler’s seat at the All-German Sports Competitions while surrounded by Nazi bigwigs in full swastika-studded regalia.

That's what he saw in Hitler? That?
"He was nice & polite to me" as a visiting head of government. Politeness once again being enough cover to hide blatant vociferous racism & misogyny & hunger for power.
Insane.

Same is true for Indian food, Thai food, and even pizza really.
Plus that the menus can seem as coordinated as McDonald's.
I'd say there's been diversity added here in Stockholm in the last 20 years as we've grown more diverse ethnically.

Best Chinese food in town imo used to be at my local food court, just pick a random one from the menu that was actually in Chinese.
