Go ahead and tell me.
With the mic unmuted.
Awesome links. I would love to see the second one with updated data.
Ah, good point. I should read the whole chart before I comment.
The Sky Warden holds a special place in my heart. In a world of high-tech high-dollar everything, I love that a simple crop duster won a bid.
I want to see a real A-10 with that nose art.
It seems like all the in-between areas are some mix of Red Sox and Yankees. C'mon people, pick someone else to cheer for.
The Athletics don't dominate anywhere, either. Though they're nomads right now, so it isn't too surprising.
I always know I'm on Lemmy past my bedtime when I start seeing Dutch posts in the All feed.
Well, am in the process of fixing it up.
It's a lifestyle. The fixing up never ends.
So clean. So orderly. This is pure satisfaction.

A brief Google search didn't turn up much information about the protests. The best I have is the brief summary on hmdb.org:
Regarding 1962 Student Protests in Quetzaltenango. In March and April, 1962 there were widespread protests throughout Guatemala against then-President General Ydigoras Fuentes, who was widely seen as having been elected in corrupt elections. There was also considerable anger for Guatemala having allowed the U.S. to train Cuban exiles in Guatemala for the 1961 Bay of Pigs invasion. In this early phase of the Guatemalan civil conflict, that would go on until a formal peace treaty was signed in 1996, it was common for student protests to be met with intense violence by military forces, resulting in many student deaths. In future years the conflict would generally move away from urban centers and towards more rural areas.

The Salem Chapel, British Methodist Episcopal Church was the first Black church in St. Catharines. Originally known as the African Methodist Episcopal Church, the name was changed to reflect their loyalty to the British Empire. In 1793, the "Upper Canada Act Against Slavery" was passed, allowing Blacks aged 25 years and older freedom from slavery in Canada. This created a safe haven for African American runaway slaves and made Canada the destination for many who fled. As a result, hundreds of escaped slaves settled in St. Catharines and created a vibrant Black community.
The original church was a small log building that held about 70 members and was built on the land behind today's church. The freedom seekers who settled in St. Catharines constructed this church, dedicated in 1855, to replace the smaller one. Some of the original pews that they built are still in use on the balcony level. The BME Salem Chapel is also significant for its ties to Harriet Tubman, nicknamed "Black Moses". This brave freedom fighter was instrumental in freeing hundreds of slaves using the Underground Railroad system. Harriet Tubman called St.Catharines and the BME Church home for almost a decade. In 2000, this church became the first National Historic Site in St. Catharines.

Yes, I know Arabic and Islamic are not synonymous. I was stretching for a silly title.
I have noticed a distinct lack of bees in my garden. My lilac bush and fruit trees are usually humming in springtime. The local beekeepers tell me that the unusual winter we had was hard on the hives, and a lot of bees died. I hope they rebound!
Unique experience: This isn't totally unique, but a local ice cream shop sells affogato (ice cream with a shot of espresso poured over the top). I need to get one soon and eat it outside in the sunshine!
