#GoodMorning #NewKitDay! Yesterday I’ve got a new #winter long bibs, jacket and merino balaclava from #Decathlon. I was sceptical about the jacket but I was wrong! It’s toasty as hell, I’m very happy with it!😂

The Weapon Sacrifice at Løsning Søndermark - vejlemuseerne.dk

At the same time as the weapon offering from Løsning Søndermark was included on the Danish Agency for Culture and Palaces’ list of this year’s finds, we can now reveal that the discovery is even more sensational than first assumed: Alongside the many weapons and the unique chainmail, parts of a Roman helmet have also been found.

People who voted for Trump for "lower costs" really shot themselves in the foot (yes, we Europeans can also use 'foot' expressions!  )

"the more our political commons are polluted with things like rage-farming, conspiracy theories and toxic partisanship, the less attractive it becomes for anyone of standing or substance to run for public office."

There’s a different kind of vitriol that gets directed at women in public life right now, writes columnist Max Fawcett.

“Costco, a retail chain known for cavernous buildings full of stacked goods [and massive surface parking lots], is working on a deal in Los Angeles that would put apartments full of potential customers on top of a planned store.”

Like Vancouver’s #Costco.

This is a very big deal in most of North America and other nations where car-dependent box box #sprawl is still the norm.

A photo of Trajan's Kiosk on the island of Philae flooded by the Aswan Low Dam, taken in 1930. After the building of the dam in 1902 the island was submerged by the rising water of the reservoir and tourists came to see the buildings by boat. In the 1970s the kiosk and other buildings on the island were relocated to the island of Agilkia due to the construction of the Aswan High Dam.
The temple was never finished, reliefs show emperor Trajan as pharaoh, but the building might date earlier. 1/2
