We found this Western European coin of about AD 1000 during investigations near Örebro the past weekend. It is rolled up but complete. Weight 1.05 g. Diameter 16 mm. The many peck marks are indicative of the Viking Period bullion economy.

Just saw an ad for one of those new drugs that lists all it's horrible side-effects but one of the side-effects was something like "displacement in space and time" and I'm like, motherfuckers, if you can make a drug that does that, make a drug TO DO that.

Behold, the oyster mushroom. This small colony grows just next to our terrace, eating the oakwood that frames the flowerbed. We do allow it, since oyster mushrooms can get real big, but remain firm and tasty.

Source-available proprietary software has been delivering its users look-but-don't-touch lock-in since at least 2004 when the Wikipedia page was written. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Source-a

When you put the wide angle lens on your camera you're practically guaranteed to see otters swimming close to you 🤨 . They were unhappy to see me but it likely saved the life of a small duck who took off before she saw the otters.
Heavily cropped.

Story from CBC news: "Why dozens of street lights on 2 major Calgary roads are turning blue (or purple)" cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/blu

This further reinforces my opinion that many or most politicians and city managers don't care about how effective lighting is or what light looks like, they only care about whether it is "on" or "off".

And it's a good time for a periodic reminder that highways in Germany are generally not illuminated.

> Families resorting to ‘desperate measures’ and struggling with ‘frightening’ level of hardship amid cost of living crisis

When I was 11, we finally had enough money for a fridge.

At least the good times lasted 60 years. Now the rich have taken it all back.

Konto założyłem tutaj 7 listopada 2022, a równo rok temu w pamiętniczku zapisałem: "Kilka sensownych rozmów na Mastodonie, może coś z tego serwera będzie."

No i chyba jest.

Potrzebujemy więcej takich ludzi jak Sebastian Wiśniewski.

Polowanie blisko dużego osiedla, wśród spacerowiczów. Oczywiście w pełni legalne i bezpieczne.
Sorry, ale tragedia jest tylko kwestią czasu - szanowni myśliwi nie odróżniają rowerzysty od dzika
