I have a very small allotment garden. It is nice, but a bit hard for me to maintain, due to my ME/CFS. Lately I had some back pains, which has not helped. But my plot it is just a minute walk from my apartment, and it is very nice to have. 🙂 I moved to …
One of the claims PubSerBroad make for their own uniqueness, and therefore their very existence, is that they are non-partisan, objective, and politically neutral, or at least, balanced. They are not to be suspected to be partial to a certain political perspective, to ideologies or religions etc. While such criteria are difficult to fulfill, the …
I have previously written about Sergei Lukianenko’s Watch series. I have just finished the latest, fifth, installment. New Watch. It is slightly different than the earlier ones. There is some more humour in it. I laughed out loud a few times. I do not think I did that with the earlier novels. Several times, other …
Today my son sent me a link to the Wikipedia page about the Kengir uprising, a 1954 revolt in one of the Soviet Gulag camps. I had not heard of such things before. It is a very interesting read. The prisoners/freedom fighters are impressively well organised, and there are also some who seem to practice …
I already wrote about schpam here, but I think it is may be time to mention it again. Today, I looked into the schpam filter net catch, inspired by ExpatPaul’s post Spamtastic. I never read all schpam that gets stuck in filter. I am not mad. Yet. But I do sometimes notice what they say. …
I have written a fair amount, some would say too many, posts (in Swedish) on the license fee for public service broadcasting ("PubSerBroad") here in Sweden. There is much to be said about that. As a general subject, PubSerBroad it is very big. Much bigger than I ever thought about before. I grew up with, …
Most of the snail mail I get are bills, or advertising. I have a sticker on my door stating "No advertising". Such stickers are very common here, and are respected. Consequently, I only get adressed advertising, which basically is spam with a known sender. Not loads of it, but almost every day. Lately I have …
My good friend Chalkahlom very kindly sent me two kinds of genuine Hungarian paprika powder. For this post I used: So, there was a sort of challenge on the fediverse. What the fediverse is, I cannot bother to explain now, but please look up the term on your favorite search engine 🙂 The challenge was …
Today I voted in the election for the European Parliament. There has been ample opportunity to pre-vote, but I only have done that when knowing I cannot vote on the voting Day proper. These days, I often think of pre-voting, but somehow I never manage to do that. More and more people pre-vote, so the …
In CIND are included FM (Fibromyalgia), ME/CFS (Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) and GWS (Gulf War Syndrome). See also these pages on Pinterest and Facebook. I have not really used those two, since I am not a member of either site. There is a wealth of information about these diseases on the web, but the quality …
I used to have a very mild green background color here on this site, surrounding the white text areas. It was soft on the eyes and very non-distractive. It looked great on my desktop display, a LG Flatron. On my laptop it looked a bit blueish, but I did not care. However, I have now …
Talk is cheap and still you don’t say much just enough to make your goals Some are useful then you talk but not too much Some are useless then you talk less than less Empathy makes words you don’t say much empathy makes action you do not do Talk is cheap and still you …
