  22. <title>Mobile phone in Europe for an American</title>
  23. <description><![CDATA[Looking for advice on how to mobile phone in Europe. Difficulty level: Ten days; far Northern Finland; staying reachable by family at home.<br/><br/>I'll be taking my first trip outside the US in a long while, and need to plan for mobile phone access. We are going on a northern lights tour near Karigasniemi, Finland. I have looked at coverage maps for the three major Finnish phone providers, and it looks like the service up there is patchy, but available near the towns, at least for the Telia network (I'm less sure about Elisa or DNA). I'm trying to understand my options.<br>
  24. <br>
  25. On past international trips, I have purchased a local SIM card for my phone and swapped it out without too much thought, because I mostly anticipated calling local people. This time, though, I'd mainly like to be reachable from family at home if something bad happens to my mother, ideally at my same phone number. I'm OK paying a little bit extra for the peace of mind that would provide, but I'd like to know whether it's realistic to think that international roaming from a US provider would be available in the far north of Finland, and/or what network constraints I might be under.<br>
  26. <br>
  27. Right now I would say I am US provider agnostic, in that we have been unhappy with our current service (CREDO) and looking to switch anyhow, so moving to one that's good for international travel is very much on the table. I have an iPhone SE and it's new enough that I'd rather not replace the phone itself, if I can avoid it.<br>
  28. <br>
  29. If the only sensible plan for decent coverage is the local SIM -- that's good information too. In that case I'd like to hear how other travelers with caregiver responsibilities have handled the logistics for being reachable in a crisis. My mother is in assisted living, so it will not be a "get there immediately" emergency, but a "head home early" emergency and a "make HCPoA-type decisions over the phone" emergency are both conceivable -- she's 75 and has had a rough year, and one never knows.]]></description>

  39. <title>Seen on Mhz way back in the Nordic noir day </title>
  40. <description><![CDATA[I saw a Swedish police procedural on Mhz back in the 20 years ago days when Mhz was a public channel stateside. It was an episode of <a href="https://youtu.be/aBnR7VvnLG0?si=XiPmYS-GAO7iPuo4">Sebastian Bergman</a> if I recall correctly. A silent man sits on a bus stop bench. Two or three youths approach. A big knife is waved at him. Things do not end well for them.<br/><br/>CW Violence: He stabs them all to death with a large knife to the chest -- a knife which he either wrests from them or produces on his own. Which stabbings he completes by striking the pommel of the knife with his hand. He sits back on the bench when done, is picked up by the police, and throughout the episode sits expressionless and still, never speaking a word while under interrogation. He had neither fingerprints nor profile on record. A few hints of sardonic amusement appear in his reaction shots. I am searching <a href="https://youtu.be/aBnR7VvnLG0?si=N2LDwbAjbOsFiuFG">Sebastian Bergman</a> sites online but have yet to find any with episode synopses. Does any of this sound familiar to any of our Nordic Noir afficionados hereabout? That episode has always stuck in my mind because that interrogation was <em>acting!</em> /Jon Lovitz]]></description>

  55. <title>tried and true recipe with wild rice, chicken, and mushrooms?</title>
  56. <description><![CDATA[I'm contemplating a main course with wild rice, chicken, and mushrooms. Probably no cream, milk, cheese, or creamy soup. Maybe plenty of onions. Have you made something like this that you really like?<br/><br/>I'd prefer something on the simple side, not extremely fussy or difficult.<br>
  57. <br>
  58. I'm okay with using wild rice plus brown rice.<br>
  59. <br>
  60. I like many flavor profiles but am going for something Thanksgiving-y.<br>

  140. <title>What&apos;s the timing of lactose intolerance? </title>
  141. <description><![CDATA[If you are lactose intolerant, and eat lactose, how long afterwards do your symptoms appear and how long do they last?<br/><br/>I suspect I might be lactose intolerant so I'm testing that by giving up dairy. I am new to this dietary restriction, so probably some dairy is sneaking through. But I don't know how to interpret my symptoms relative to the food. Can dairy at noon on Monday still be giving me symptoms 24 hours later? 48 hours later? <br>
  142. Yes I'm seeing a GI doc but not for another month, so I have time for experimentation before the appointment.]]></description>

  168. <title>Isolation as a key ingredient of neo-fascism?</title>
  169. <description><![CDATA[Has anyone written anything about how the current variant of fascism has much more isolation of the oppressed to work with?<br/><br/>There has been a huge rise in means of isolating the masses from each other through social (rugged individualism), technological (social media) and economic (weaker  unions) innovation.<br>

  201. <title>Contemporary CMS for 18n/multilingual management?</title>
  202. <description><![CDATA[Looking to set up a CMS for an organization that aspires to be a mutlilingual operation. My last experience was Drupal. Wondering if there are ~better~ modern workflows and alternatives?<br/><br/>I have experience with drupal sites, where a node has multiple versions, and rules workflows can be set up such that translators are notified when there are sync issues across languages, but that's drupal/backdrop/PHP, and we're much more likely to have python/js volunteers. (maybe this doesn't matter that much?)<br>
  203. <br>
  204. There's the obvious ML translation drop-down, but I think the quality wouldn't be what we want.<br>

  218. <title>Playdate ideas for Ernie and Bert </title>
  219. <description><![CDATA[Looking for collaborative playdate ideas for a pair of first grade boys who have opposite personalities.<br/><br/>Looking for collaborative playdate ideas for two 6 year old boys who have very strong personalities and tend to annoy each other at school. One kid is more verbal, likes tabletop activities, and gets bossy; the other kid is more physical, likes running around, and gets rough. <br>
  220. <br>
  221. They'll probably never become besties, and that's fine, but they'd both benefit from some bonding time. Hoping for activities that are entertaining enough to get them on the same page for half an hour or so. <br>
  222. <br>
  223. There will also be a 3 year old sibling along for the ride, but the little one is fine to wander off and play independently too. <br>
  224. <br>
  225. Location can be at home, or in a nearby park that has small trees and a sandbox. <br>
  226. <br>
  227. Collaboration would be ideal (rather than parallel play).<br>
  228. Not ideal: sporty stuff like soccer, or artsy stuff like painting - each of those would only be fun for ONE of these kids - I want them both to have fun.<br>
  229. Engineering / STEM / mess would be great.<br>
  230. Happy to spend around $100 for supplies.<br>
  231. <br>
  232. My list so far:<br>
  233. - making cookies, muffins, or pizza <br>
  234. - making slime<br>
  235. - tying ropes between the park trees and hanging sheets to make a fort<br>
  236. - tie dyeing in the park <br>
  237. <br>
  238. Thanks for any more ideas!]]></description>

  248. <title>PDF workflow guidance</title>
  249. <description><![CDATA[Making a cookbook of old recipes, having lots of bottlenecks!<br/><br/>I thought this would be a pretty straight forward project. I want to scan my grandmothers recipe books and make a new version with a table of contents.<br>
  250. <br>
  251. I have long used PDFPen for my PDF workflow, but this project may put an end to that. As an aside, I cant figure out a how that software survives? It has served me well for years, but I recently upgraded to the PDF Nitro for Mac version and having lots of difficulties. It seems the only real other option is Acrobat, but seems pretty expensive for my needs. Anyway...<br>
  252. <br>
  253. I have scanned the pages into three different pdf files, I have used PDF Nitro to create a table of contents for each page and descewed an applied some image correction as well.  The issue I am currently facing is that I cannot combine these pdf's, Nitro is just balking and the tech support is abysmal,  so now I am thinking I have to do something different.<br>
  254. <br>
  255. I realize I had no real reason to create the files as pdfs as I could have just made jpegs and built it all in Lightroom where I have created many books, but the table of contents would need a little figuring out.<br>
  256. <br>
  257. I hope this is enough info and would love some guidance on best workflow to get this finished, approximately 150 pages total and the table of contents can be really simple, just recipe name and page number.<br>
  258. <br>
  259. Thanks]]></description>
