Do people with tiny ass vapes know they look like they’re sucking their thumbs?

Today is world meteorological day #worldmetday 🌦️

DYK that the Icelandic Met Office has an API for weather observations. I´ve been having lots of fun building weather info screens for my new @trmnl
a brilliant little ePaper info screen

Our API: api.vedur.is/weather/

Guess the AC is going on tonight.

@DanielleVossebeld 😂

@alda underrated for that: get a snack at Hygge in Grandi and go sit in the attached hotel lobby. Lots of space, usually calm after the morning rush, and a big table if you’d rather than laid back couches.

Also an OG Micro person. I didn’t really like the second location, though.

@alda oh, I don’t think I ever went there. My current hang out is Skúli, sometimes Microbar (which definitely used to be the place I hung out most but the vibe there changed when the staff turned over last year)

@alda I love Vitabar and almost never recommend it to anyone unless dive bar is their vibe. It should remain a local gem! And a seriously good burger.

It breaks my heart a little bit when someone asks me for restaurant recommendations in Iceland, but they don’t like seafood or lamb!

Like I’m just not gonna recommend Rosso Pomodoro or Hereford!

“Insomnia” by Faithless came on the music machine and the tones of Big Ben at the beginning instantly transported me back to my teenage room in Kuwait, listening to the BBC World Service on shortwave radio. I’d get my news there, but also my music (BBC had a top 40 show called Multitrack, I think?).

@ebooksyearn @nikkid take a lane out, make the other lanes narrower, and put in bike lanes and wider sidewalks! Rename the underground garages for Bowser, too.
