By definition, if Finland is included, we're talking about Fennoscandia and, if you add in Iceland, it's the Nordic countries.

Denmark is usually included in Scandinavia, but technically it isn't part of the Scandinavian peninsula.

However, I know that outside Europe the distinctions aren't all that important.

I would probably pick Denmark as a favourite based solely on their legal right to hit ice-crossing Swedes with sticks. And Swedes suck balls (source: am Finnish).

However, to be somewhat pedantic, Scandinavia either refers to Sweden, Norway, and Denmark, or just Norway and Sweden (the actual Scandinavian peninsula). Finland, Iceland, and the Baltic countries are not part of Scandinavia.

The table is also missing Å completely.

Finally picked up a hands-free leash and a running belt to try running with my pup. Three short runs in (to acclimate us both), and he's super excited to see the harness come out of the drawer. It feels good to have a running buddy.

I've been off the wagon for years, ever since the pandemic and some lingering long covid symptoms, but I think the pup's excitement might be enough to motivate me to be consistent.

Totality, as in the entirety, of the Alhambra is in the photo.
The most recent eclipse, which is probably what is causing the confusion here, was not visible in Spain.

No one.

Our one-year-old pup was genuinely upset about having to sleep in the same room as us on a weekend trip to the countryside.

At home he sleeps in the study and kicks up a fuss if anyone disturbs him by existing in 'his' room after 10 pm.

Another Finn here.

Crate-training itself is not illegal in Finland. There are, however, requirements for crate size and limits on how long a dog can be kept in a crate.

My one-year-old pup is crate trained and had enforced crated naps as a puppy. He is a very active breed that tends to have trouble managing their own excitement level, especially when young. These days the crate sits open and the pup elects to sleep in it most nights, and sometimes during the day if he wants to be left alone.

In addition, he has a collision-tested car crate that keeps him safe while traveling. He treats it like his puppy crate and just snoozes through most drives.

I don't see an issue with crate training if it is done with the dog's needs in mind. Crate is not a convenient storage to keep your pet in, and a dog should not be left crated for an entire work day. They need space and enrichment in their days to be happy and healthy.

I feel like, for many, the choice isn't voting for Trump if they're disillusioned with Biden, but just not voting for Biden. I'm aware the result of inaction is likely the same as voting for Trump, but cognitively it's easier to stomach.

I'm genuinely curious to know where in the world you live. I would be horrified if someone was peeking under the stalls or bothering people by knocking on the doors.

I mean.. if you play video games for hours and hours, your brain will likely learn to play videogames better? Sure. I hardly see a correlation to mass murder here.

If you believe that action repetition is to blame for rewiring people's brains to be more efficient at mass murder, why not blame the military, or hell, why not just start picketing outside your local airsoft or paintball places?

edit: he'll into hell. I blame autocorrect.

Octopus has a Greek root, so the correct plural would be octopodes. Octopuses and octopi are both acceptable, though. But I do love to bring up etymology whenever this comes up.

Awesome progress! Your plant looks very happy in its environment, it's actually flowering.

However, to keep a string of turtles focused on leaf and vine growth, it may be a good idea to cut off the flower stalks. This plant is not known for pretty flowers, and actually the odd little sky-reaching stalks are the extent of its flowering glory.

I'm not the person you're replying to, but I do recall Lorenz being caught in a lie and trying to cover it with stealth-edits. She has definitely had her (and her publisher's) agenda take precedent over facts back when she was covering the Depp/Heard trial.

However, while I do try to verify her reporting from other sources, I would not classify her anywhere near the imploding egomaniac billionaire. She's way better than any billionaire, because there's no way anyone can amass that amount of resources and not be selfish, problematic, and too far removed from ordinary people to relate to them.

I have a Lamb's tail, Anredera cordifolia, growing in a fairly low-light spot in my living room. Much of the plant is edible, the flavour is reminiscent of spinach.

They're quite unique. They're a lot more tart and bitter than raspberries, with an after taste similar to that of some particularly tangy craft sour beers. The seeds are also larger, but the slight crunch is actually very satisfying.

The flavour is not universally loved, though, and especially children often prefer cloudberries with a heaping of sugar.

All right, good to know it's not just me! I hope it'll be implemented soon, as I really like the wefwef interface in general.

I suppose it's not too much of a bother to pop into my instance through the browser every now and again just to block a bunch of things.

I'm not sure if I'm just technologically challenged, but I can't seem to find a way to log into wefwef from a smaller instance. Does it only support the big four?

//edit: Turns out you can only pop in as a guest from the bigger instances. You can log in to any instance, and I'm just dumb.
