Sony owns the blu-ray format. I’m worried.

A small boulder the size of a large boulder

Exactly. Allowing Israel to compete is an endorsement of their atrocities as it lends them legitimacy and a platform to present their country in a positive light.
But I guess taking a stance against genocide isn’t reason enough to lose their biggest sponsor, Moroccan Oil, an Israeli company.

As a big fan of Eurovision, it pains me to boycott the contest this year but I can’t stomach the thought of endorsing mass-murderers.
The EBU banned Russia from competing after their invasion into Ukraine (after a lot of public outcry, I must add), so why can’t they ban Israel as well? If the problem is they “don’t want Eurovision to be political”, well tough luck, it already is and has been from the very start.
The answer, of course, is money.

That is actually a lot closer to the Icelandic one, except the F sounds more like a V and -röst rhymes with bust.

As an Icelander, the pronounciations of the nordic names in Marvel movies crack me up. Especially Bifrost (which they pronounce “bi-frost” instead of 'bif-rost", and Laufey (pronounced very differently, also a decidedly female name).

Why are you using someone else’s bones and why can I see your bones?!?!

I have to know if this picture already existed or if you just made that because it’s perfect

I broadly agree with you, but it feels like cinema is shifting back to quality again. We’re all tired of shitty superhero movies and many of the recent ones have bombed at the box office. Hell, one of the biggest movies of last year was mostly about men in suits talking about science and it was great. Dune pt. II is also an incredible breath of fresh air and shows that it’s still possible to make a massive blockbuster with mass appeal but also a strong sense of style and integrity. I really hope this trend continues because I want real cinema and not mere ‘content’.

Hell yeah. Unfortunately they don’t grow where I live, but we have plenty of Porcinis and Chanterelles which taste amazing

I never pick any mushrooms which could potentially be confused with anything toxic. Even if I’m 99% sure, that’s not enough.

Last year I picked a huge amount of mushrooms in the forest, dehydrated them (you can buy a dehydrator or use an oven) and ground them to a powder.
I put mushroom powder in damn near everything I cook, gives it a nice hit of umami.

Definitely skipping that update then. Thanks for the warning

Not in Norway lol. If you want to meet up at 11:20 you say “ti på halv tolv” meaning "ten minutes before half hour before twelve.
Yeah, it took me a while to wrap my head around it too.

This is classic greenwashing. It’s the smallest possible gesture a soda company can make to show that they “care about the environment” while not making any actual change to be more eco-friendly.
Same thing with those awful paper straws. Are you really asking me to believe that a massive burger chain can neutralize their footprint by giving you a straw that turns soggy in minutes? The straws were never the real problem, but it’s the smallest possible step they can take to seem eco-friendly.

Yeah totally. In fact, I’ll be playing a live Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson tribute set next month so I’m thoroughly immersed in that music at the moment

Is your username a Porcupine Tree reference? They’ee one of my favorite bands!

Icelander here, yup definitely Iceland. If the mountains don’t give it away then the woolen sweater and the small horse definitely do.

Which search engine do you use?
I’ve started to use Duckduckgo but it’s a bit hit and miss.
