I need prescription sunglasses, I am on my fourth pair.

Previous pair was made by Persol, current pair was made by Lindberg.

I take great care avoiding sitting on my sunglasses, they are quite expensive

I seem to recall reading postvagnen, a Swedish railway forum, that had a tree structure in 2005 or so

Lol, I remember tree style forums in the early 2000s.

Just because vBulletin/PHPbb/InvasionPowerBoard/punbb didn’t use them doesn’t mean it didn’t exist

I recommend that you contact perchance about the issue, you are very unlikely to find help here

Flashback.org

The biggest Swedish forum on the internet, nutorious for having a very uncensored community (they are hosted in the US as Swedish law isn’t as permissive in terms of free speech, not by much, but enough to make it worth it), so you’ll have to ignore a shitload of racism, sexism, homophobia and more crap to read it.

The reason I read it is that they love discussing current events, if you notice something on the news, a shooting or other gang war stuff you will find a thread about it with the location of the incident, information about who lives there if it is a house or apartment building, this information includes names of possible people involved, their vehicles and countless racist/sexist/homophobic/classist/other remarks, I mainly just want the location so I know what area to avoid.

They also have the greatest Swedish forum thread in the history of the internet:

“Dumma saker ni gjort” - “Stupid things you have done”.

This is a thread that runs 131 pages, of glorious posts of Swedish teenagers in the early 2000s talking about stupid things that they have done. As a Swedish millenial who grew up in and around those years, everything is so amazingly familiar to me, making the thread increadibly funny.

I am not sure how well Google translate will work on the thread, becaue there is a LOT of sloppy spelling, which adds to the charm of the posts, but here is the link:

You only need one lane going up, and a jump off ramp at the top

You are quite right, i found the panel in the Calculus Affair album in the Tintin app I have:

Here it is in English, crudely edited:

Isn’t that from The Castafiore Emerald album?

Do you like tablewear?

Because this would create a lot of glass in a few short moments.

It is election year in the US, a very polarizing election with two high profile wars, any social media will be weaponized

I do know about that, but that is just picking a number from a list, the clever part of a compose key is that you can sort of figure it out on your own; if you are on a US keyboard and need to type the letter/word “Å” it makes sense to try with compose+Ao but when that didn’t work you tried compose+oA and got it.

No need to look it up in a big table.

Meh, Ctrl+C Ctrl+V works well.

What I really would like is a Compose key.

The concept is brilliant, you use it with a special key combination to “draw” a special character or symbol.

If you wanted to type a copyright symbol you would hold the Compose key and press O and C in order, then release the compose key.

Here is a list of a few characters with their compose key combinations, every combo is pressed in order while holding the compose key.

To get the letter Ä use " and A

To get the letter Å use o and A

To get the letter Ö use " and O

To get the letter Æ use A and E

To get the symbol ¿ use ? and ?

To get the symbol ¡ use ! and !

To get the symbol ® use O and R

To get the symbol ™ use T and M

To get the symbol € use C and =

To get the symbol £ use L and -

There are plenty more combinations…

I have never used a computer with a compose key, but I love the concept of drawing other characters like this.

Calculate the number 6/11?

Alright…

6/11=0,54545454545

Not sure about what point he is trying to make…

You are very wellcome, it I would call the trip a full day trip as you will be tired when it is done, we stayed in Nerja, and had booked a guided tour at 14:50, we left at 10 or so to have good margins, but we allmost missed it as we had misunderstood the startpoint

It was fantastic and a bit terrifying.

I am soo happy I went, but unless there is a lovely woman asking me to accompany her, I won’t do it again.

95% of the path is amazing, with some thrilling but not scary views, the last 5% was terrifying, however I never felt unsafe.

Ok, lets start from the beginning.

As you probably know, El Caminito Del Rey is a stunningly beautiful path in a crevase of a mountain side, it leads between two hydro electric powerplants, and was originally built as a maintenance path.

It got famous on the internet as the worlds most dangerous path, when I first saw videos of it, the path was crumbling concrete hanging on the mountain side.

This is no longer the case, since adventurers kept bypassing anything the local government did to prevetn access, they decided on another way forward, rebuilding the path.

The new path is built just above the old one, preventing access to the old path, while granting safe and easy access for unfit tourists (like me) to see the amazing landscape.

The path is modern, made out of tick peices of wood, securely anchored to the mountain side, there is a secure railing with netting along the entiire path.

There is minimal need for planning on walking the path, you need to get a ticket, and I do recommend getting a ticket for the return bus as well, you will be tired after walking the path.

You only really need four things to walk the path.

1. A ticket
2. A bottle of water
3. Decent shoes, I walked in my Brooks Ghost 23, you don’t need hiking boots, but avoid sandals or flipflops.
4. A good camera with a solid strap, if you drop your phone or camera over the edge of the railing, it is gone/destroyed.

Do not bring a big backpack, this is noted on the rules you get when buying a ticket, this is due to the path being very narrow.

You buy tickets for the walk online: https://www.caminitodelrey.info/en/tickets/buy

We got a guided tour, we had an english guide, but the guy we had was not really worth it.

So you go to the restaurant marked on the map you get when buying the tickets, that is not the entrence to the path, it is the entrence to the entrence to the path, unless your instructions say otherwise, do not wait there, there are big signs, you need to walk about 2km to get to the entrence of El Caminito Del Rey.

So you get to the entrence, this was a bit chaotic when I was there, depspite being there in low season. Speak with the staff, they will help you, scan your ticket and get into your group.

If you have picked a guided tour, you will be issued a small radio reciever and and headphones, the headphones are terrible, if you can, get some better 3.5mm earbuds that fit better.

Regarless of what ticket you have bought, you will be issued a helmet and a disposable hairnet.

Finally, you are entering El Caminito Del Rey!

The path is for the most part located inside the cleft, this is very nice as if you start feeling dizzy of vertigo, you can just not look down, and the feeling goes away.

This is untill the end…

I must again stress, that while it was terrifying, I never felt unsafe.

You will have to walk across a metal grid catwalk suspention bridge, it is supported by thick metal cables, but it does wobble and sway a bit, then you get to a an anchored path hainging on the open side of the mountain, there is nothing to help your vertigo there as the path hangs over a sheer drop of 100+ meters.

I don’t like hights, I get some vertigo, I was clearly uncomfortable and scared, but at that point you can’t really go back, so I just focused on continuing on.

The path is completely safe, highly thrilling and even terrifying, and so so worth it.

I had my Lumix S5 camera with my 24-105mm lens, a great combo, and I just 1150+ photots from my walk, some of the most beutiful nature photos I have taken.

Doing ok I guess, main issue is being alone constantly, but since I have had almost a decade of living alone since I moved out from my parents and was quite lonely before that as well (my parents are lovely and caring, I have just never found anyone special, and have drifted apart from most of my friends).

Planning on getting into VR in september after the PS2VR PC adapter has been out for a month, and I have reviews to look at

My car needs it’s bumper replaced after a badger ran into me while I was driving. I can still drive it, no warning lights nor leaks what I can see…

This spring I had a holiday in Spain, got to walk El Caminito Del Rey and it was gorgeous, I will get back to Spain soon with work this time.

I need to replace my computer desk and remodel my living room, but first I need to move my computer, record player and more from the computer desk.

Need new monitors for my computer, my current monitor has terrible image retention issues.

I doubt the ads are streamed over the internet, this could easily be done with local storage.

With a possible quick database update over the internet to log views

Confirmed, sovcits are script kiddies?

Not on the highway, but on a backroad a few weeks back…

I drove on a small back road in the rural parts between Stockholm and Norrtälje in Sweden, one of the many twisty turny roads going through forrests and between farms all across Uppland. (If you are ever in Stockholm during summer, with access to a car and have time to spare, I can absolutely recommend an evening drive on the backroads)

Anyway, as I drove through the bright summer evening, I approached a field where a older man and a dog was watching out intently toward the field, my car was in electric mode so it was quiet, as I drove past I looked out on the sunset lit field, and saw a cat, it was a big cat, but a cat…

I didn’t think much about it but 15 sec later it hit me…

There is only one kind of cat that big in Sweden, a Lynx!

The cat I saw had the same color and everything!

Sadly there was no place to stop and turn around or park, and I didn’t have my camera with my awesome super telezoom (100-400mm) with me so I could only keep driving.

Lynx’s are very shy but they still live in the area, they are my favourite big cat animal, despite have a stupid looking tail.

Then two fridays ago, I was driving very late on another back road, I took it extra slow and careful since I had recently got a (deserved) speeding ticket, but still only saw a blur of the badger that decided to cross the road just infront of my car, busted my bumper but little else…
