No they didn't. They voted for several different parties who brought in the same policies and did not discuss them prior to elections.

Totally. The tree I was referring to was at least three hundred years old, and had survived a road being built by it. Then the local government decided to pave the path so it got hardly any rain. There is also a tree near me which has barel

West Papua still has glaciers, which I was surprised at.

In its sister language of Faroese, they call the wren "músabróðir" meaning "mousebrother". I always found that quite cute.

One private jet flight produces more pollution than a car does in its entire lifetime. They spray their exhaust fumes thousands of feet up in the sky Yet private jets do not get anything like the same exemptions. I wonder why.

A lot of urban trees are badly planted as well. There was a very old tree round here which died, because most of the area around it was tarred over and it couldn't get access to rainwater when it did fall.

"Change" and "resilience"... Two of our rulers' favourite buzzwords right there. Apart from the wider climatic issues... It would help a lot if cities weren't covered in concrete, tarmac/asphalt and reflec

When I try to write dialogue or scripts, I do play the conversation out in my head or even talk to myself... But when writing fiction, I definitely visualise. I wrote a failed novel some years ago. There were several problems with it, but t

I think you are confusing two separate issues. I struggle to do still life as well, when the subject is right in front of me. That's not due to eyesight problems. My visualisation is not perfect but is much better than anything I can

The Isle of Man has some too, and yes, some people do use them to commute although most of the passengers are tourists.

It explains a lot.

Solein? Even sounds like "Soylent".

I am able to see stuff in my head all the time. It is a matter of degree, i.e. some people see things more clearly than others. But the same could be said of real eyesight. Very few of us have 20/20 vision but that doesn't mean we

I'm terrible at drawing but I definitely don't have it.

by nephihaha 2mo ago
How do you think they write novels and film scripts, or draw from memory?

by nephihaha 2mo ago
Depends which ones. Some rich countries like New Zealand are food exporters.

I had to read the phrasing several times. It is, I suppose, possible for me to do but takes effort and no distraction.

I see it in my mind, not in my field of vision.

Yes, some of it can be quite wild, especially dreams but most of it isn't. The fun part of it is being able to place people in funny situations. Many people just do a rewind and visualise real life events from earlier. Most of the visu

Yes, unfortunately they are. I say unfortunately because they are often connected with trauma. When something goes very badly, those memories can go cycling around one's head. PTSD can do that too. Some people relive wars years after t

Do you dream?

I remember it well. It definitely has some memorable images in it.

I would argue that despite the miniseries' setbacks, he is the definitive Pennywise. Better than Skarsgard, who seems to rely on the Kubrick stare.

I went to school with someone who looked very like him, although he is much younger and lost his hair.

A very versatile actor. It is easy to forget the range of roles he was in.

Is this to try and prevent subsidence and tremors? It would make sense in a country which is often beneath sea level.

Well, not quite. She seems to have said no to Col. Parker who wanted a massive chunk of the profits.

I date the decline of the internet to around that time. I remember hearing a year or so before that international leaders had discussed how to control the internet. Judging by social media idiocy and dismal search engines, they succeeded.

At the risk of being one myself... I usually find that there is some flaw in just about any set up and someone has to address that. Constant negativity is not a virtue of course, but neither is complete compliance and agreement. Most people
