Does your mask have a piece of wire around the nose? I find that really helps with the glasses.

That's the thing though, at least here there is no general shortage of flour, but there is a shortage of small 1-kg packages, while the demand for large bags has gone down. Some local bakeries made their own smaller batches for sale

I am also a bit afraid for the future. The way we're going, harvests will fail more frequently, meaning some areas of the world will have to have overproduction to feed the rest, and which areas that are will be hard to predict. So it&

(A small detour: In Japan you can buy traffic safety charms that are reflective. They might work for pedestrians and people on bicycles - the only charms I've seen so far that look usable.)

May I invite everyone with weather that has occasional showers to search for 'rain radar' and their region. If the rain patches are wind driven, you can easily predict the time and length of a break and stay dry as long as you&#x2

A disadvantage of that placement should be the pollution you're exposed to. Even small displacements of the bikepath next to the road have a large impact already. I cannot wait for internal combustion engines in cities to die out.

Didn't they just start to issue tourist visas last year? I have to say, from flying across in a research airplane that was not allowed to measure (so no work for the scientific crew = lots of time to move from window to window and obse

Probably. I have to say though, their advertisements for tourists were a bit.. out there. 50°C+ outside? Come visit us, you can hang out in the AC mall, or go skiing in our fantastic artificial ski hall (all powered by fossil energy of cour

I think world-building games can help a little. Making decisions and living with the outcome, letting things go and showing NPCs and other players what you built (especially if the community is supportive) - these skills are very transferab

> This is completely contradictory. You should stop reading fake news or social media reports, because this is where some utter stupid statements like this come from. It depends what exactly 'mild' means I guess. I might not h

I don't think option 1 as you wrote is is any good. There appear to be strong signs that even with very mild symptoms patients can have significant lung damage, and also damage to other organs. It is not clear yet how far that will hea

Except in Iceland, they do a decent job with their geothermally heated greenhouses. They're very proud of the tomatoes.

How about offering some summer courses? There are really nice programs out there and if the kid gets to choose it can be very enriching.

May I recommend to add some breaks into your text for easier reading. You have to insert an empty line for it to work. (Press return not just once but twice.)

The problem is not availability of cheap airline tickets, it's availability of healthcare. The point (the transportation/energy use issue cannot be tackled without also working on the social problems) is an important one though.

People on cruise ships are usually not a good sample of the general population, for example, the mean age is quite high.

You write 'fellowship rejected' 3 times, I read 'managed to apply for 3 fellowships'. Just like you did with the paper submissions I think these can also count as successes.

That basically seems to be New Zealand's (and Australia's?) mode of operation. Give the rich countries' young adults fresh out of school a work&travel visa for a year and extend it for a few months with sufficient farm wo

Berlin is full of them. They roam the parks and streets at night, but are generally harmless (back away if they have piglets with them) and most annoyingly will dig over gardens if the fence is insufficient. https://www.theguardi

I always laugh when stealing research data of ongoing work is an import plot point. Making sense of it can be hard for the person who wrote it, let alone a close colleague, but a stranger? Haha, good luck.

I would trust the CCC or the EFF with this I think, and the other paranoid fighters for privacy. But only as long as it takes for the to rotate their members enough for takeover by others. We've seen that wit smaller political parties

I'd say that's also a valid way of making the bed. Flip the bedding open, shake up the pillows a little, let it breathe. Then again, sleeping in fresh sheets after a shower is supremely satisfying and might also count.

Height differences can also be quite annoying when walking, especially when there are more than two people (eg two taller ones and one shorter).
