My daughter (17 months) loves the moon. I am looking for a book with pictures of the moon but not a book about the moon mission or moon craters but I can't find what I want. Does anyone have any suggestions? Alternatively, I might print a board book with moon pictures myself, so if you have good photos of the moon, send them my way!

I often hear Americans & rich brits justify buying oversized, polluting vehicles by claiming they need them because they live in the "countryside".

I call bullshit, Ladies and Gentlemen, allow me to introduce, the Citroen C15⬇

Why are bathroom light switches so often outside of the bathroom? Makes no sense.
I want to be cool and know which dinosaurs are in my dinosaur stacking game. Help? I think 1 is a pterodactyl, 7 a T-Rex and 10 a velociraptor? I have some other guesses but maybe someone here is a dinosaur buff?

I envy people that don't put themselves in the perspective against the entire fucking universe only to realise that all of their problems are contained within a single atom in an ocean encompassing the things we as a species might one day know, and that that ocean itself is even less when compared to things we'll never learn.

The Calgary Public Library has a video streaming service called Kanopy, and their movie selection is better than any other service I've ever used. Better than Netflix, Prime... whatever.

It's like they hired the smartest movie nerds they could find and let them pick whatever they wanted from the history of cinema.

Aguirre, The Wrath of God (directed by Werner Herzog, in German)? They got it.

The Toxic Avenger? They got it.

And everything in between.

I need to get a sign made for the public wild space and I'm struggling to find a signmaker that will do it. Aside from recommendations for anyone who could make a weatherproof B/VI-accessible sign in the UK it would help to know:

* We have been told more visually impaired people are able to read raised text over braille. Is that likely, would raised text be the more inclusive option?
* We're planning to note the length of the nature path on the sign, which we assume would be helpful (please correct me on that though) but we also want to note the location of a bench. Is this practically useful?
* The bench is just off the main path, literally next to it. What would be the best way to indicate its location so it could be found. By distance from the sign?
* If you do use signage in community spaces or wish there were more, what other information might you want to have on the sign apart from the above, and contact details? We are reaching out to local organisations to raise awareness of the nature walk too.

mgk's new album sounds like Blink 182. Weird.
Collosi's Cafe in the small town of High River, Alberta, Canada has better espresso than anywhere I've had in Berlin. Yes even the really fancy places where it costs 5 Eur for a single. They had a Rancillo machine with three spouts and spring lever action, calibrated tampers, and bottomless portafilters. This cafe was mainly serving locals. A flat white cost about 2 Eur. My mind is blown.
