    Everything south to Panama and the whole Caribbean is part of North America.

    Continental Europe is about 10 M km^2 (I subtracted the UK and Iceland for you) Th US is about 9,5 M km^2

    So about the same, which is impressive, but it doesn’t hold you captive. You can still go to other countries on holiday.

    Also there are a ton of native languages within the US plus settler languages like Tejano and Pennsylvanian Dutch. So if one wanted to have a cultural vacation, it would be possible.


  • Drop in the bucket of this countries history and, in the end, nothing’s going to be done. Significant portion of our population still believes this was a good thing. Of those that even remember this that is.

    Significant portion || of those that even remember this || that is.

    The “that is” is a clarifier, similar to “is what I meant”.

    Maybe a comma would’ve helped.





  • Just recently, I was in France and all the reactions were just lovely. Everyone replied in French to my French but asked if we should continue in English, when they noticed my understanding was incomplete.

    Some cashiers spoke really fast, so I just pretended I understood and nodded. But everyone was very accommodating and repeated sentences if I asked or explained with different words.

    Most people even spoke English with my colleagues, who don’t speak French, and French with me. Even one waitress, whose English was really at the beginner level, made it work.


  • There was a short boom of all different kinds of Fassbrause here in Germany. Fassbrause is a carbonated drink, that gets its carbonation from brewing, is made of grain malt and fruits and non-alcoholic (literally barrel-fizz).

    It was then followed by a short trend of every rapper and streamer making their own iced tea and now the trend still going on is energy drinks.

    I miss the selection of Fassbrause. It was not to sweet, malty and fruity, just perfect. Now I have to look for what feels like the two last brands still producing.



  • If you may ever feel an interest towards collecting your herbs, apple tree leaves are a tea that’s totally slept on.

    Oxidise/ ferment them like one would black tea by freezing them to burst open the cells. Then thaw them and roll them in your hands into little balls or cigars. With enough pressure so that water comes out (your hands will turn yellow from the juice). Then rest these balls for a few minutes under cover, roast them quickly in a pan (not until it smells toasty, just to lose some moisture quickly) and dry.
