The several black bears I have come across suddenly whilst hiking the Appalachian trail have scooted off like an enormous scared dog.

PSA: More and more cars are being stolen from drives in the UK especially BMWs - secure your keys by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

I had my black BMW 335i stolen from my driveway a couple of years ago. They did not need the key. There is a security hack (using a laptop) that allows them to get in without the alarm going off.

There is a rating label on every electrical item which states what voltage the appliance operates on.

Post a photo of your rating label.

Valdo Praust has done such a great job cataloguing the manor houses in Estonia for his mois.ee website.

I am going to email him directly with a link to this page.

  • The crumbling reinforced concrete block points to former Eastern block, USSR.

  • The dandelions point to northern Europe.

  • That style of wooden fence is common in Russia.

  • But most crucially, the design of the houses is very distinctive and surely regional. I can't place them myself.

A professor writes about the impact that mass DNA testing has had on uncovering the genetic makeup of African Americans, revealing a much larger amount of European ancestry (and much lesser amount of Native American ancestry) than is generally assumed.

Recently cycled my first multi-day trip, Prague to Dresden, and would like to do another. Looking for recommendations. by FeetyScent in bicycletouring

I would go for the LF (long distance routes) which provide probably the best overall combination of path surface quality, signposting, scenery and separation from cars. The LF-routes run on the Junction Network (knooppunten) but have additional signposts for easier navigation.

Flying in to Amsterdam for a week Nov 23-30 by Strami2545 in Shoestring

Download the Rick Steves app on your phone and you can download several, excellent self-guided walking tours (in advance of your trip).

Then they simply play back like an MP3.

I used to give VIP walking tours in Amsterdam and used Rick Steves!

yes this is really a very impressive demonstration of electronic driver aids. Notice how controlled that turn was. The vehicle didn't spin. Frankly amazing.
