I recently read this and was surprised at how good it was. I loved Orwells Animal Farm, but didn't like 1984 that much, so I wasn't expecting to enjoy it; I read it more to get some insights of the war. But the book is not just informative, it is also really funny at times, and the story is just wild.
I second this recommendation.
Love is a human emotion, so the Caro Kann will never love you. Hope you recover from this loss.
I mostly use "The French" in a dehumanising manner. Which is a good thing, because a chess opening should not be humanised.
I should really try Blonde on Blonde again; I am quite a new Dylan fan, so I haven't listened to that one too often and Dylan often only clicks for me after a few tries.
Hwy 61 has some amazing songs on it! And disliking the Christmas album is very understandable, although the video of "Must be Santa" deserves an oscar imo.
Homage to Catalonia, George Orwells memoir about the Spanish civil war. I never read memoirs or autobiographies, but I am very glad I have read this one. It gives a good insight into various aspects of the civil war, as well as Orwells personal views (and his sigarette addiction). On top of that, it is at times hilarious. And it is almost unbelievable how many things happened in just 6 months.
Highly recommend it if you're into history or politics or love Orwells other works.
Thanks for answering! It looks great!
[email protected] may be a good place, especially if you have some information on its impact on biodiversity. It's not a community dedicated to depressing news, but anything that has to do with science goes on Mander.xyz, even when it's sad.
I myself would be interested in articles you have to share, I never heard of this before!
In my experience (Dutchie living near the German border) the car culture of Germany isn't that big; it is mostly the industry. Yes, there are many cars and a few more people driving in big BMW than the Dutch average, but there are quite a few people on bikes too. Also, transit in Germany is quite decent, despite the governments efforts; and, contrary to the Netherlands, it is affordable. Meanwhile the UK cancelled part of their HSR system and the prime minister claims it is a "country of motorists".
Deutsche Bank I don't know about, so you may still be right.
Looks great!
Some questions out of curiosity: how long ago did you convert your lawn to this (if it was a lawn before), and how hard was it to beat all the grass?
If you haven't already, check out the Owl-natomy posts! They are a great way to learn a lot about the general anatomy of owls; I at least learned a lot from those posts.
Reading "A tale of two cities" by Charles Dickens. I am not too far into it, but so far it's been really enjoyable! The English accents are really hard to follow for someone whose native language isn't English, but I'm getting used to it.
