In some countries vaccination was planned to not be voluntary. This was the case in Austria, with a government stipulated mandate.[1] The situation changed rapidly, but just pointing out that vaccination against COVID was not always planned

Also love old books. I have a first edition (1791) copy of Introduction to a General Stud Book[1]. That’d be my oldest. Also love old maps. [1] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Stud_Book

Actually, the Shutup about Barlcay Perkins link should have gone directly to the blog's homepage. The author writes something every day, not always exclusively about beer but mostly related to it. https://barclayperkins.blog

If you’re into this kind of thing, I’d like to recommend Historic Brewing Techniques, The Lost Art of Farmhouse Brewing by Lars Marius Garshol.[1] Absolutely fascinating and practical. It does focus on Norway to a large extent, but covers a

I was born in A, my wife born in B. Along life’s journey I picked up nationality C. We now live in D, where our child was born. Due to the rules of D, our child has nationality C. I can’t wait to join an edit struggle over their Wikipedia p

I don’t specifically know about the US experience, but mass covid vaccination didn’t appear to be all that easy to achieve where I live. It required an overwhelming government information campaign, removal of the ability to engage in many a

And that’s kind of the point of Kölsch. A lot of home brewers who don’t want to mess about with temperature controlling bottom fermentation go for a top fermenting Kölsch yeast to achieve the same effect.

Which is perfectly fine, when considered in the context of other words like “giant” and “geranium.”

Mirroring is the best way. Do it before a service is shuttered, which we used to call "closed".

Zinc cream used to also be pretty common, applied to the nose, as a sunscreen in Australia.

Either way, I didn't have smaller and ended up forced to pay with a card (or not buy the drinks).

The UK is in general making it very difficult to operate using cash. My experience last summer, as a tourist, was that certain attractions would accept card payments only. Want to go on a Thames river cruise or visit Warwick Castle? The onl

Quite a while ago, when duckdb was just a duckling, I wrote an R package that supported direct manipulation of R dataframes using SQL.[1] duckdb was the engine for this. The approach was never as fast as data.table but did approach the spee

I think the Kurdish Red Crescent could be a good option for donations. They have an appeal page here: https://www.heyvasor.com/en/banga-alikariya-lezgin-ji-bo-mex...

If you do not wish to watch videos of fox hunting, Mayfair house parties and Etonian high jinks, then commons-tube is for you.

Yes, that's true and such pools are ubiquitous in Australia. The town I grew up in, 200km from the ocean, population 4,500, had a full Olympic size 50m pool. It was just one of the local amenities. We had school swimming carnivals wher

Yes. We live in Austria and it's just what kids do. In Australia, they learn to swim at a very young age, in Austria it's skiing. He's not the only one racing under-10s class! There's another comment here taking the piss

I guess a lot of people must be using YouTube in a different way to how we do. We do allow our 8-year-old to sometimes watch YouTube, after the homework is finished or if sick. What does he watch? Things like.... * 40-50 year old Russian la

I'm such a fan of the Gripen. It's significantly cheaper to operate than the F-35, with around 4 to 5 Gripen flight hours for the same cost as one F-35 flight hour. While it doesn't have stealth capabilities, it does have ove

The creatures are still there, it is only that we have closed our eyes, ears, hearts and minds to them. And so we destroy their homes because we no longer hear, see, love or understand them.

Comment appreciated. My wife, in the front seat next to me, and I were certainly in shock. We pulled over and had a 15 minutes rest while the adrenaline wore off. We breathed deeply and talked about what had just happened. I used to commute

Last Saturday afternoon I was driving home in heavy fog. Suddenly coming towards me was a BMW SUV at least 75% in my lane. I managed to brake heavily and drift towards the outside verge. We didn’t hit. It’s about the closest I’ve come to a

I managed to quit WhatsApp for about a year and have recently been sucked right back in. I nearly lost a significant sale because a client claimed they sent me a message on WhatsApp about a new purchase, which I obviously never received. It

My Mum did this with magpies in Australia. She lives alone in a small rural town and started feeding these two magpies, that seemed to like her garden, with small pieces of meat. Over the course of a couple of years, the magpie pair even br

Sad news. Faithless have some defining feeling in my earlier life. Hard to describe but just loved their music as it really connected with me, which was unique because I was much more a grunge guy. Somehow Faithless’ music transcended genre

The article links to a few book pages scanned as PDFs and an HTML version of Mutual Aid: A Factor of Evolution. Also worth mentioning is that there is a very large collection of Kropotkin's writing at the Anarchist Library[1], includin
