I'm sure he'll be happy with the Sudetenland!

This is why I say 'metre' for the measure and 'meter' for the measurement device

That was my theory too - the Gems are a von Neumann probe, created by a possibly-gone species.

Yeah, that's true, and I'd support a plaque or something for awareness past the limit.

13 months is pretty reasonable. We can't have memorials at every roadside indefinitely.

My partner, who makes that trip a lot during winter, responds:

The bike lane on the bridge deck is eventually cleared, but usually not the first day or two after a snowfall. I check the hwy 1 ironworkers webcams, you can usually get an idea of whether it has been cleared by looking at them. On the north shore, the district does not clear bike paths quickly but the city is very good. He can look up the boundaries and plan a route that keeps him mostly in the city.

My opinion: The bridge gets too dicey for my comfort a few days every winter, especially because of the long northbound downhill decent followed by a poor sight line curve. It frosts over much faster than any bike lane on the ground. I recommend putting the bike on a bus to get over the bridge on days when it has snowed recently or if it was wet the day before and temperatures have dropped below 0.

We try not to sexualize Annie...

 

As subject. In Gastown, a plane flew over putting out rainbow contrail. Why? O_o

Some festival?

Splitsie's Scrapyard Engineers scenario is pretty great, I've been enjoying it, and if you haven't tried it, it's worth a crack.

The concept is that you basically don't get refiners or assemblers, and only a limited number of blocks you can make. Everything else, you have to find from wreckage strewn about the landscape. The goal is to get to space.

In addition to the base modpack, I strongly recommend Improvised Experimentation. The author also recommends it, but tunes down the carry weight so that you have to use cranes more. I didn't, but a crane is still extremely useful.

 

Apologies for the English, my monolingualism is entirely my own fault at this point.

The tldr: my grandmother grew up during WW2 in the occupied Netherlands, and migrated to Canada in the 1950s in her 20s.

She is likely in the stages of early dementia, and one of the recommendations for dementia patients is to find music that they'd likely enjoyed as teenagers or young adults. I'd like to see if I can find something that fits that rough description. I expect I can make do with the English catalogue of classic rock and country from that time, but it'd be nice to find something a little different.

Can someone make any broad recommendations for popular Dutch music from the 1950s? Ideally, something I can find in mp3 format, but I'm willing to spend some money.

 

Officially out!

There's a video trailer, too.

 

This is our hand-drawn map of our immersive-mode Valheim map - I sail while my partner maps on the boat. We call out terrain observations, bearing, etc while we're sailing.

Currently, we're settled on a Plains island in the south, four days' sail from spawn, and have established a full base in preparation for Ashlands.

 

So, I've been playing immersive mode. We just took down Queen, which was a pretty good challenge, and packed up the essentials and went all the way from the deep north to the (completely unexplored) edge of the Ashlands. Deciding what to pack on the longboat was a huge challenge, and we forgot some stuff, but made it work.

One thing we took a risk on: we brought a stack of beech seeds. Turned out to be one of the best decisions of the trip! Once the initial round of tree planting was done, we had an inexhaustible source of super convenient wood without having to travel for it.

Does anyone else have any base bootstrapping tips?

To clear up some confusion: there is an article behind that link and I'm not the author.
