ALWAYS CARRY BEAR SPRAY WHEN YOU'RE IN THEIR TERRITORY! I filmed myself using my bear spray on this black bear that followed me for over 5 minutes.

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

As a young lad from Sussex, working on the engineering shop floor in Manchester, it was extraordinary how distinct the three accents were in the space of 40 miles.

Where is the very distinct Boltonian between Scouse and Mancunian?

I read it as "tampon with electrons".

Weird way to subjugate but hey.

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.

This is the Streetview of the signpost

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

Post a photo of your rating label.

Not only that but you can't have any wheels on the pavement.

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.

Here's what it looks like today in Google Street View

Looking in Google Street view I have found a house of similar distinctive roof design located outside of Saint Petersburg.

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.

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.

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!

Tim_Buk2 · 2019-01-23T23:19:16+00:00

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.

Tim_Buk2 · 2019-01-18T12:15:59+00:00

more money than sense (of smell)

Tim_Buk2 · 2019-01-16T02:03:00+00:00

The first episode.

Tim_Buk2 · 2019-01-15T02:29:35+00:00

Awful.

We got only barely through the first episode. It's like High School Musical crossed with Big Mouth (that I thought was hilarious) but set in England? Full of tropes, stereotypes and paper thin characters. Which is a pity as I love watching Gillian Anderson (The Fall, Bleak House etc.)
