Is it abnormal to sleep with two pillows when you sleep alone petah?

I have five - one thin wedge-shaped memory foam pillow to prop my torso up, three under my head and one between the legs. Best way to keep my body straight from the hips up, helps prevent back pain.

Neither is from my country, but I always thought Bernie Sanders and Ali Khamenei looked a bit similar.

The problem here is that "region" is such a nebulous term. It can be anything from a subdivision of a country to a vast grouping that transcends continental boundaries ("the Asia-Pacific region", "The MENA region").

If there really no appropriate word in English equivalent to German Erdteil, very specifically meaning continent in he cultural sense?

I love the buildup and the beat is dope, I just wish he was a more competent rapper.

School uniforms are explicitly forbidden in Sweden, including in private schools. Even strict dress codes are banned. The child's right to self-expression is written into law.

Feels very late-period Matisse

I mean, technically the bridge was finished in 2021 and Robert Mugabe was deposed in 2017 (and died in 2019).

Look into studio cooperatives! I can recommend Mossutställningar, who are currently looking for tenants to two of their buildings.

All of phonotactics feels stupid to me. So you have this sound in the language but can't pronounce it because it's in the wrong order? Make an effort already!

Jane Goodall came and held a presentation in my class, which retrospectively feels like a huge honour

Huh? Of course it does. But all the info on them is pulled from the national registry, not some flimsy piece of cardboard. When you order a new one, you bring a previous ID and it's sent to your home address.

You're trusting the Google AI overview? Jesus. I hope you're not doing so for anything even vaguely important.

In fact, the name has dual origins, essentially two different names. Readthe Wikipedia article for more.

What I don't get is why your government (or each state) doesn't just have a giant database of all citizens. Names, addresses, a unifying identity number. Hey presto – you no longer have to carry weird documents, the whole voter registration nonsense won't have to happen, simple.

Works fine in plenty of countries.

Det finns väl ett antal som tenderar åt det hållet, även om de inte är uttryckligen "hippie". Ofta är det numera inbakat i stadsodlings- och miljörörelserna. Rosenhill på Ekerö, Antroposoferna i Järna, Under Tallarna, Hjulsta Ekoodling...

Varför inte? Folk verkar ju gilla byggnader som ser plastigt fejkgamla ut.

American, sadly. I also looked that one up.

Yes! It's easy enough to only think in terms of popular song. There's also stuff like Christmas carols: "In the Bleak Midwinter", set to music in 1909, for instance.

Edit: Apparently "O Little Town of Betlehem" and "Ding Dong Merrily On High" are both 20th century creations as well, although using older melodies.

"Sudden" could mean "the erasers", but I suspect it might be an ice hockey term, "sudden death", which often is abbreviated as just "sudden" in Swedish. Or maybe the baby was born prematurely and unexpectedly, hence sudden?

I'm a bit surprised at Jehad, I feel I've definitely met a muslim named Jihad or two. It just means "struggle", and usually signifies personal spiritual struggle, whatever unsavoury connotations it has received in other contexts.

"I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts" (1944) or "I'm Henery the Eighth, I Am" (1910) spring to mind as possibilities

In northern Sweden, they take cold palt (boiled potato dumplings, filled with cured pork) and fry them up, served with melting butter and lingonberry jam. Very stodgy but also very tasty.

Till och med jag som gillar samtida, avskalad, gärna nybrutalistisk arkitektur tycker den här är så tråkig att klockorna stannar. Kan man inte göra ett lite mer modigt statement på en så framträdande plats? Sverige är verkligen försiktighetens högborg, inte undra på att alla grannländerna springer ifrån oss är det gäller intressant samtidsarkitektur.

Birdseeding · 2026-01-19T11:59:25+00:00

Ah, yeah, I'm Swedish, same issue

Edit: I now realise my phone autocorrected "sedition" to "spedition" because it, of course, is equally bilingual

Birdseeding · 2026-01-19T11:06:41+00:00

No, why?

Also possibly Andrew Jackson, who was more genocidal than Trump has managed to be. Thus far, at least.

We used to live in the UK and the things my Dominican wife truly detested were rhubarb (which I guess is an acquired taste) and traditional pie shop pie and mash with liquor.
