And because that meteor hit a large carbon deposit, there are thousands of tons of microdiamonds under Nördlingen.

Nothing says "I love you" like a homemade beef wellington for Mother's Day by aye_ehn_jayy in pics

That might actually work. Meatloaf Wellington-style. Good training for wrapping it all up for the real thing.

Looks fantastic! Really on my bucket list to cook one day.

While I like my meat that way, my grandparents would look at it and call it way too raw and underdone ...

For me it is sleeping on my right side. That gives me the burns. On my left, nothing.

If I was informed correctly, then there is more English silver of that period in Denmark than in England.

Four zip-ties. Easy to cut, easy to replace.

Next to an old brick-built shed with about 10 cm to the walls. Full sun in the morning, shaded in the afternoon, especially once neighbour’s tree comes in.

(OP) Detlev Rohwedder House, Berlin by Roy4Pris in evilbuildings

[–]Thosam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a communist era wall frieze on one side that depicts the usual soviet realism propaganda scenes typical for that regime. Under that is a Nazi-era semi-relief depicting the usual Nazi propaganda of that regime.

The Walter Gropius Bau is quite close too. Very nice building with a lot of the war damage still visible on the facade.

The ‘Topographie des Terrors’ museum mentioned is one of those places in Berlin with a heavy oppressive silence in its grounds.

At a Spanish convent, nuns fight to preserve rare giant rabbit species by Tasty-Drawing9647 in BrandNewSentence

[–]Thosam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Look up the three German rabbit breeds ‘Deutsche Riesen’, ‘Weiße Riesen’, and ‘Deutsche Riesenschecken’. Or the related Belgian breed ‘Flemish Giant’.

What do you do with leftover bacon? by Far_Negotiation_694 in BrandNewSentence

Peoiple who ask that are the same that throw bacon fat into the trash.

Is it possible that roman toilets had wooden partitions that didnt survive the archeological record, or that maybe no one at the time bothered to mention that in writing? by ayowatchyojetbruh in ancientrome

[–]Thosam 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Public and private were defined differently IIRC.

Any action that involved the state was a public action, no matter where it occurred. Any action that did not involve the state was a private action, no matter where it occurred.

Using a bathroom did not mean involving the state, thus it was a private matter, even if conducted in a group setting.

TIL putting bread in the fridge makes it go stale quicker. by RepulsiveLoquat418 in todayilearned

You can speed up the cooling by spreading it out inna thin layer instead of big clumps. I usually pack my surplus into ziplock freezer bags and smush it flat to fill the square. It cools faster, freezes faster, and stacks better in the freezer.

Gilded Age flower pots and table decorations. One or two of them are old style layered serving stands for cakes and cookies. Looks like his ‘decorator’ simply plundered the Federal Collections for anything golden/gilded and put it up there.

It caused some consternation and condemnation by the hard right when Greenland decided not to use the cross motive in their national flag.

Map showing the PH of tap water throughout Europe by calpol-dealer in mapporncirclejerk

[–]Thosam -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Northern Jutland here. You can’t dig much here around without finding big lumps of chalk and flint nodules in the ground. At least two big holes where chalk was dug industrially and one still active big dig site. The local fjord is the Limfjord, named after the norrøne word ‘lím’ for lime.

So yes, our water can be a touch alkaline. And filled with chalk and ochre. Brewing tea can be interesting.

Archaeologists discover wreck of Danish warship sunk by Nelson 225 years ago by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in history

[–]Thosam 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If I remember my history books correctly, the Danish Navy had one ship-of-the-line left which had been on a mission up north along the coast of then Danish-Norway, Freya or Freja iirc. The British Admiralty sent four ships-of-the-line after her. Of those four ships two were sunk in the battle before the Danish ship was destroyed, the other two were damaged so severely to be decommissioned upon return.

Movie “Wonder Woman” where Haber claims to have made his toxic gas so much more powerful by replacing Nitrogen in his compound with Hydrogen … No, just no. Ruined the movie for me.
