World News@lemmy.ml•12 years back together: The complex history of Crimea and its return to Russia
1·10 hours agoAlso 70 Mennonite settlements were in Crimea, peaking around the First World War.
We were living in Haiti and needed a vacation as there had just been a revolution. We decided to do some Caribbean island hopping. The day we left, I caught dengue fever. Sick on the plane. Landed in Puerto Rico and took a hovercraft. Hurricane close by. It was so rough, I couldn’t stay inside and lay on oil barrels at the back. By the time we got to St. John, my nose had sunburned so bad, it was oozing fluid. (It’s been redish ever since) In St. John, wild donkeys broke into our tent and ate all our food. Took a water taxi to Tortola. Tenting on the beach. The whole town(except us) evacuated because the hurricane was approaching. Spent a wild night. Huge winds. No one around the next morning so we ate coconuts that had fallen during the night and hiked out of there. Worked our way back to St. John to catch the hovercraft back. It had been canceled because of the hurricane. The dengue lasted seven days. Felt horrible the whole time. At the end, I got extremely itchy hands and feet. Not fun. It made a good story, though.

8·2 days agoI never realized the two were connected. It makes sense, though. I don’t seperate the instruments but there is almost always something playing in my head. The weird thing is I find it easier to remember all the words to the song than remembering the band who played it.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Would you ever walk up to a total stranger and strike up a conversation?
5·3 days agoFor sure. Especially when travelling. I’ve gotten into some neat cultural experiences like that.
Tankie? Is this a new racial slur I’m not aware of?
Or perhaps, stop bombing the people that control the strait.
Maybe for you. Here, the snow starts to melt the end of March.

Canada•Residents of #canada, would you be in favour of your province or territory abolishing annual clock changes and moving to a consistent, year round time?
1·3 days agoYes, if all of them stopped changing. If some changed and some didn’t, you’ll have to be thinking which ones changed and which ones didn’t.

41·3 days agoFor sure. But everyone should change. Otherwise, it’s a constant question of who’s on what time.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something society treats as normal that you secretly think is completely insane?
27·3 days agoTIpping. Receptionists take crap all the time. Fire fighters risk their lives. Cooks slave in a hot kitchen. Garbage people take our garbage, and yet we chose to give extra money to the people who carry our food from the kitchen to our table.

Would it not be cheaper just to break the contract with the 407 and make it a toll-free or low toll provincial highway?
