So the US is planning wars involving Panama, Canada, Greenland and China while threatening EU and Mexico? It’s all so random and spread out.

A friend’s father got kidnapped by the state here in sweden due to not showing up for draft… It does sound way worse with those words though

Just don’t use ordinary shrink tubing, it doesn’t seal properly in the front and may tighten too hard for comfort

Thanks for the site :)

Is a nice site if you want to expand into Nordic/Swedish books in your collection

I know, I’ve even heard of pages missing from paperbacks published by reputable print houses here in sweden

I like the ringantasy over romantasy any day. Sometimes I also read sword-and-sandalsantasy.

+Old man grumbles over the youths word usage+

At least when I grew up in the late 80s and 90s both boys and girls read the books and watched the movies with Pippi.

I agree that Hollywood is a blight on the cultural landscape, and you basically have to disregard their movies if you want to find something deeper than a puddle, with exceptions few and far between

I saw that as parental instinct since protection of young are not gender coded, but you can read it as maternal for sure as a mirror to the Queens hatred after the egg burning

Ellen Ripley’s gender doesn’t matter until Resurrection, which isn’t the highlight of the movie.

A lot of media have strong female characters but their gender or sex does matter for the story so can’t easily be replaced

Susan in the book Soul Music (plus some others) as well as the Witches, Tiffany Achings and more from Pratchett

Death from Sandman (even though the author is very controversial, but you could check the books out from sources that doesn’t give him a kick back)

Was a long time since I read them but the Polgara books feature a strong female protagonist

We got classic youth/kids media that shows strong female characters even if some stuff are coloured by weird takes (Such as Xander Harris): Xena, Buffy and Pippi Longstockings

I promise you that if you collect 10 random people and ask them what Ohms law is, at most you get 5 that knows it’s something about electricity. You are lucky if you have one that knows it.

They did!

Ernst Haeckel said it in 1914

I would say France is a pretty prosperous country who just got out of the Basque conflict but are still fighting terrorist groups

It’s not the scientists fault, it’s the Prussians who focused more on arms and military than social security nets and infrastructure. It’s all been down hill since then

Hot glue is cheap, easy to handle and easier to clean away is my guesses… I would definitely try a silicone gun

Remember the Alamo!

Rough that the driver calls a lack of inspections a “loophole”, I wonder if the original text has the implication that inspections are needed at every step or any “loopholes” will be used to save some profit margin

Like Tie Fighter by LucasArt? I’m deeply confused but I guess you mean something else

I’m betting conveyor belt is way better than a rope and pulley system though

Around here (Sweden) I would bet a bit that any fish from the Baltic Sea is both common and super old member of the diet for the population around the water. Salmon is also a great contender being found in the rivers as well.

Any of the easily hunted animals that are still around, don’t know if it’s “common” if it’s seen as a delicacy outside of hunting families though
