Peanut butter and pickles on toast

If Elon designs it, will be made out of stainless steel that rusts in seawater

According to this song, you pronounce like trying to cough up some phlegm that's gotten stuck in your throat. I can only assume that their history of coal mining has affected the language.

Dear United States, nice to see you finally catching on to what we've been doing since 1999.

Love,
Sweden

Betcha there are people already arguing that it can't be genocide if you only kill 1% of the population.

Sweden has plenty of legislation about workers rights, this conflict has more to do with employee benefits and the unions right to represent their members.

I've been playing a lot of Surviving Mars lately. It's like a city builder without most of the boring stuff, and needing to keep an eye on your resources while you are trying to build a colony on a hostile planet gives it a survival vibe.

When Swedish translators try to create a Swedish name for an English character it always ends up sounding silly. Batman was named "läderlappen" (the leather patch) for example.

Yesterday I heard that they translated Pennywise the clown as "clownen Snåljåpen", which I guess gets the literal meaning across but also makes him feel like more of a stingy old man than an actual villain.
