Proverbs and their meaning

Maybe you've heard them before and here are a few and what they mean.

The port is not without customs

Everything in life has a price and you have to pay for everything.

When the water is still, the sailor must think of storm.

Don't be lulled into a sense of security and always be careful.

Seeing land does not mean being in port. - From Latvia

Do not praise the day before the evening.

Even on the wide sea, junks sometimes collide. From China

Always count on the most improbable.

What are children doing on a ship with bears? From Iceland

Inexperienced landlubbers disturb the experienced sailors.

A song is ten men on the rope

Singing makes the work easier and faster.

One man can't do both: scoop and row. From Norway

One should concentrate on one thing, otherwise neither one nor the other will succeed.

He sails like the great mast.

Someone is completely will-less, lazy and independent

There is sooner fire in hell than work on a ship. From Estonia

There is always work on a ship

Pump or sink, says the Sailor

To be or not to be, there is no alternative.

From just talking, not even a cheese ship sails. From Holland

Work, not talking.

How does climate vary around the world?

Climate is controlled by a complex interplay of factors including latitude, altitude, ocean currents, and atmospheric circulation patterns. The Earth's tilt and orbit determine the amount of solar energy different regions receive, influencing temperature and weather patterns. Latitude plays a crucial role, with equatorial regions experiencing warmer, wetter climates and polar regions facing cold, dry conditions.

Altitude affects climate, as higher elevations tend to be cooler and receive more precipitation. Ocean currents, such as the Gulf Stream, transport warm and cold water across the globe, impacting coastal climates. Atmospheric circulation, including the jet stream and trade winds, distributes heat and moisture, creating diverse climate zones.

Around the world, these factors combine to create varied climates. Tropical regions near the equator have lush rainforests, while deserts like the Sahara form in subtropical zones. Temperate regions enjoy moderate seasons, while polar areas endure extreme cold. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for predicting climate changes and mitigating their impacts.

Dick: You use to be so cute and tiny..

Jason: And you use to be cool. We both changed.

Dick: Wha-?! I'm still cool!!

Jason: Okay, 'officer Grayson'. Cops aren't cool.

Dick: THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO

Jason: STILL FRESH IN MY MIND, PIG!

Dick: LET IT GO!

Jason: NO. YOU WERE THE ONE WHO SAID FUCK THE POLICE! THOSE WERE WORDS I LIVED BY!

Dick: OH MY GOD. YOURE THE ONLY ONE THAT STILL REMEMBERS THAT!

Tim, walking into the living room: I remember it.

Duke, from another room: I heard about it! You've lost 1000 aura man!

Cassandra, poking her head in: I've also heard about it.

Dick: EVERYONE SHUT UP.

Jason: Just like a cop to order people around like that, shameless.

Dick, groans: Fuuuuck-!

Dick: All of you are going to make me age like milk!

Damian, popping up behind him: Is it wrong to say it's too late for that?

Dick, practically shaking: Damian..I swear to God.

After I had finished sketching my 20 designs, I presented them in a specific layout in my sketchbook to show my development. Along with the spec drawings to cover how I would construct each design.

This design is based a Chinese traditional wear with the traditional patterns and the Lilly pad flower embroided on the dress.

It's always "Hades isn't bad or cruel, his deeds are just metaphors of the inevitable death" or "Hades kidnapping Persephone represent the premature death".

But when the argument "Zeus has numerous affairs and many children because he represent the fertile rain" is brought up, all nuance is suddenly out of the window and Zeus is just a womanizer who can't keep it in his pants.

Hey I just realized I don't think I know any American irl who doesn't have an immigrant ancestor within living memory and want to see if that's a me thing or just an average situation

(grabs you by the shoulders) you have to make room for new experiences in your life. you have to go through the unpleasant work of leaving your comfort zone, even if just for a few minutes at a time. because if you don't, your brain will trick you into stagnation. you will start to believe that the world can barely fit you in it. but that's not true. it's the opposite way around. you can fit the whole word inside of you. your task is only this: to welcome it with open arms

people need to realize that what’s going on with palestine and israel isn’t about anyone being jewish.

there are jewish palestinians, muslim palestinians, christian palestinians being trapped in what is essentially an open air prison for children and the elderly with no food, water, or electricity just because they’re palestinian.

this is about colonization, and unfortunately so many people are falling for the blatant propaganda being turned out by an apartheid government (israel).

the only solution to stop all this violence is to give palestine their land back. that is the solution.

okie miku!! or more specifically texoma miku bc I have no clue what happens up near the panhandle </3 she's chahta also. more like hatsune maka

[image description: a page of drawings of a oklahoma-themed design for hatsune miku, where she is darker-skinned, wears beaded earrings, and has visible tan lines. on the right is a full-body drawing of her wearing a university of oklahoma shirt and boots, where she is carrying a braum's bag and shake with a thought bubble reading "damn texas drivers". on the left are a drawing of her in an okc thunder shirt, where she is holding a beer in one hand and doing a downwards longhorns gesture with the other. below that is a scene of miku sleeping in a lawn chair in a field with a tornado occurring in the distance. end id]

“The first thing you need to know,” the stable master announced loudly to the gaggle of school children trailing behind her, “is that these are not unicorns.”

Eleven-year-olds tended to be loud. Their silent scepticism was deafening.

“You cannot keep unicorns in captivity,” she continued. “These are all crossbreeds, mostly with specific breeds of horses.”

There was a small murmur of curiosity and a gangly arm shot up into the air.

“Yes?”

“Only mostly horses?”

It was always fun when some of them paid close attention. “Only mostly horses. I only deal with European breeds, and they tend to cross well with horses. See this here is a cross between a grey Thoroughbred and an English Unicorn. They’re large, and reasonably docile.” They also had that champagne sheen most showy folk preferred. “For people who come here looking for a steed, this is their best bet. Although I've only ever seen it done by people who personally broke them as yearlings.”

By now she definitely had the whole class’s full attention.

“But this French Licorne cross is actually half fallow deer.” She gestured to the pasture beyond the fence. “Look at them. Slight build, slender legs, built for speed and agility. They need a lot of space but they are beautiful to look at, and they’re relatively easy to tame for the pure of heart.” There was still something distinctly deer-like about them and they were all so beautifully cream coloured that they almost took on a silver hue.

“What’s those hairy ones?” a voice piped up.

“That’s a Unicorno/Shetland mix, from central Italy. Traditionally they tend to be crossed with Monterufolino, but they are hard to come by and make their coats even darker.” Unicorni were naturally built more like ponies, some with considerably shorter horns, and their coats were often a much darker gold, or even brown. They were less flighty than the French breeds though, even if they showed blatant favouritism towards certain caretakers. They would even pull a carriage if properly motivated.

“Do you have any bigger ones?”

The stable master turned around. “What was that?”

One of the boys was standing behind her with a determined look on his face. “Do you have any like that but bigger. With the beards and the furry hooves.”

“Feathering,” she corrected automatically and the boy nodded eagerly. She frowned. “What exactly do you mean?”

“There’s really big unicorns,” he pressed. “With wild manes and tails and split hooves like the French ones but hair like those ones!”

“Buddy,” she laughed, “what you’re describing there is a Scottish unicorn and let me tell you, they cannot even be crossbred into domestication.”

The little face fell.

“Any offspring of an Aon-adharcach will be as wild as they are no one can capture them with their horn still intact, not on your life. You go near one of them with a halter and it will skewer you.”

She smiled at the boy, who still looked rather taken aback, despite this proof of his favourites superiority.

“Tell you what. If you want to see something unhinged and imposing, I’ll take you to see the Eenhoorn/Friesian cross we’ve just got in from the Netherlands.”

bowling doodles

next thing you know, he’s got a custom jersey and ball, a shelf of bowling trophies, and is on a local team.

i know that loid is supposed to be good at everything, but just once i’d like to see him pathetically fail at something despite his earnest efforts. every time i go bowling i am consistently surprised at how difficult it is.

Isn't it just wonderful sometimes when you can enjoy many things at once? 😊

I just ate dinner, French baguette and Hungarian bread spread and Swiss cheese and German (home) small sausages. Then I had Sushi all the while crying about the absolute and utter beauty of the Russian folk songs that I was listening to. ❤🎵

Granted, some of the food was made here in Germany but still. How wonderful! ☺️💗
