So what’s the difference? I get that the intention is different. The bridge is raised to let boats through or the bridge is raised because its closed. But either way it’s still raised.

It’s a good thing that bridge was raised. That was a tight fit

Melbourne@aussie.zone•AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare
1·1 month agoThe test is set to a default time, between 12:00 and 12:05. It’s a leftover from the world war, so we have a national air raid alarm that was implemented in 1954 and gets tested every first Monday of the month around 12:00. The NL-alert coincides with that. You get used to it and it’s very weird if you don’t hear the alarm and you realise its the fist Monday of the month

Melbourne@aussie.zone•AusAlert emergency warning test: What you need to know and how to prepare
6·1 month agoWhy would it cause chaos? Here in the Netherlands we get a test alert message every first Monday of the month. Nothing happens, its just an alert
Not trying to defend people who trivialize the horrors of those regimes, but every space has a lot of red flags. It goes hand in hand with humans

Television and Film@adultswim.fan•Does anyone have suggestions for new and good shows, or obscure gems I might have missed?English
2·2 months agoHaha I get it, I don’t like propaganda cop shows either. But after watching Blue Lights I definitely wouldn’t want to be a cop in Belfast. It feels pretty real and raw. It kind of has a gloomy setting like Happy Valley, but it isn’t as cliffhangy. And it’s an ensemble cast. I only get put off by the title screen because that does give off propaganda cop show vibes

2·2 months ago”The thick of it” seems good! I’ll add that to my watchlist. I also looked through your list and I def forgot a lot like Fleabag, Blackadder, Fallout, arrested development. But also a couple that I haven’t seen! Going to check it all out

2·2 months agoLike you said, there’s probably a lot of overlap but here are a couple of my suggestions
- Adolescence
- American Primeval
- The Bear
- Behind her eyes
- Blue Lights
- Broad City
- Carnivale
- Detectorists (I know it was already mentioned, but its really good!)
- Ghosts (at leasts the British version, haven’t seen the American one)
- Happy Valley
- The Leftovers
- The Pitt
- Pluribus
- Ponies
- Rooster
- Search Party
- Severance
- Shrinking
- Silicon Valley
- Silo
- Slow Horses
- Ted Lasso
- This is going to hurt
- Tip Toe (this one really left an impression)
Right now I’m watching Widow’s Bay, which is good. And I’m watching Yes, minister. Its a British political comedy set in the eighties, but its strangely relevant. And funny if you like British humor.
And if you’re into horror/thriller:
- FROM
- The haunting of hill house
- Midnight Mass

4·4 months agoI think the biggest thing to take away from this is people are idiots. Good on you for losing weight, any way possible. Good luck!
I never said it wasn’t difficult and I even enjoy the occasional NASCAR race. Still funny though.
Oh look, it’s another left turn

It also really depends where the tumor is located. If its higher up in the colon, then the blood will be darker. But if it’s more to towards the end or the sigmoid it can still be red.
I have IBD and it’s located in the sigmoid. My stool can be pretty damn red sometimes

15 Minute City@slrpnk.net•15min-City | platform allows you to see maps showing how close parts of each major city is worldwide to being a 15-min cityEnglish
10·2 years agoThis can give you an indication, but it has flaws. For example I live in Utrecht and this map counts a lot of empty farmers land as parts of Utrecht. So in the overview it looks as if Utrecht has bad accessibility, but if you zoom in and take a look at the actual urban areas you’ll see that they have very good access to services.
If you look at Paris for example, most regions they count as city are indeed urban areas.
Also it counts Ijsselstein en Nieuwegein as parts of Utrecht, even though they are separate cities. But I get why they did that.
I read an interview a while back with an wine expert (I can’t find it anymore of course…), who said that recently more wine producers have started to use bentonite (which is a sort of clay) instead of animal products to fine the wine, because it is readily available and cheaper. So more and more wines are vegan even though they’re not labeled as such. It’s still good to be thorough though and hope more wine producers start using bentonite.
