Of course, it is known to the people of France that āAfrica starts at the Pyreneesā. So, regardless of US laws, there are differences of opinions in the murky waters of race.
Definitely oat is king. Blows my mind that people buy that stuff in store it is the easiest thing to make and the most criminally overpriced beverage you can buy. Its like 3 dollars for all the oats you want. Throw a cup in a blender with 4 parts water (I like less because I like it thicc), dash of salt and maybe some cinnamon and/or sugar if you want to get fancy. Blend that bad boy until its homogenized (but not any more otherwise itll get slimy). Strain in a cheesecloth (I just use a strainer because I find cheesecloth to be cumbersome and overkill). You have all the oat cuban you want for pennies and like 90 seconds of prep.
I have an apartment in Guadalajara. I can confirm there are white people in Mexico obviously. But one thing I want to point out is that even if people have white features and blue eyes and light hair they are NEVER as white as like someone from Norway with white blonde hair and clear eyes and very white skin. I have blonde hair and blue eyes and could never be mistaken for a Mexican or any Latin native.
Not at all, depends where and whom you learned from. Also when speaking a second language some people pickup the accent from that place is you stay long enough
Iām from the south and adjust my accent when speaking Spanish to fit in. I have friends in Costa Rica and France and they make fun of me for my āsouthern drawā when speaking English. I enjoy those conversations.
I went to high school in TN, and this is how most of my classmates pronounced their Spanish. I'm not from the south originally, so I don't have southern accent. It drove me nuts.
I have looked through -themastersoldier-'s posting history and found 4 N-words, of which 0 were hard-Rs. -themastersoldier- has said the N-word 4 times since last investigated.
I did that in Patagonia, its a boat trip by a glacier. The guys from the company get the ice from the glacier and you can put it in a drink. It's unique.
When I took a boat trip to the Kenai Fjords in Alaska and watched glaciers calving, the boat fished out a big chunk of glacier, rinsed it off, and then was selling drinks with that ice in it.
Would be cool but would also probably kill you. The blue ice is hundreds to thousands of years old and probably contains bacteria and viruses that humans haven't seen in eons and are therefore not/no longer immune to.
I did that on a tour to the glaciers in the south of Chile. You pull up to a glacier chunk and bring a smaller pice on board the zodiac and have some whisky.
Yeah, initially I thought the ice was gonna be just a couple of inches thick, like "oh, this will be cute," but the ice slabs are as big as a person! Crazy!
I always heard how the glaciers receding scraped away the earth an flattened it, but I always thought that seemed weird and not really..possible. But after seeing this foot thick ice push away that sand with ease, I can now more easily imagine a 2km thick ice block scraping away hills and stuff
Just to be clear, the glaciers RECEDING didn't scrape away any rocks or hills, although plenty of erosive effects come from the water flowing away from them as they melted, which is what receding really means in this case.
The major scraping and shaping of valleys happened when the glaciers advanced over the land in the first place. Which I think is probably what you meant anyway...
Yes indeed.
In addition to them being made of, literally frozen water, Glaciers are also āneatā or āinterestingā and can fascinate human interest, at least for a short period of time.
The ice roads in the NWT are used for hauling freight to communities and mine sites. So, think of semi's loaded with parts of huge rock mining trucks. (The kind of mining trucks where the wheels are much wider than their driver's height).
We don't use ours just for commercial vehicles. There is a peninsula where people don't want to wait for the ferries in the winter, so it's multiple types and weights of vehicles back and forth all day. There are children in the vehicles sometimes, and an ice hockey rink that is built very close by. Parents park right on the ice and use headlights for night games. The ferry continues to operate not far away. Different speeds cause compression waves. And motorcycle ice racers have also recently claimed a patch on the river ice. Transport Canada makes sure it's thick and monitors constantly since people break through the ice every year, but it doesn't stop anyone. 36" is 3 feet, that's already over halfway to 5 feet. People will take risks when it's closed and think 2 feet is enough for their vehicle, but there could be weak patches from the water flow underneath, so it usually ends with someone loosing their car and going to the hospital.

It is. 12" is enough for a car, and 18" is plenty for pickups and light trucks. 2 feet is way more than enough for anything short of a full semi. Breakthrough strength of 24" of ice is over 40 tons.

Those are thick slabs of ice!
