It's hard to overstate how much better OpenStreetMap is than Google Maps, especially when it comes to walking/hiking. It's the difference between the unusable and the nearly perfect. (Showing Google Maps app and Organic Maps app.)

One of the things that's strange about the USA when you walk around as a European, is how often you see the national flag. But I'm starting to think that maybe the Swiss can go toe to toe with the Americans. The flag is everywhere, including on every product you can buy in the supermarket. Swiss! Swiss-made! Made in Switzerland! Not from one of those other countries, thank god! Why are they in particular so nationalistic? 🤔
The 10yo wants to light a candle in every church we visit. Not because he loves Jesus, but because he loves fire.
In order to open the Strait of Hormuz, the USA will now block the Strait of Hormuz.
I don't want much.
I just want us to treat every human being as valuable.
Happy lose-an-hour weekend for those who celebrate!

@neaveeng@hachyderm.io This toot made me look up how 'cetacean' is pronounced, and it was nothing like I expected (SEH-tah-SEE-an) and far more like, well, 'citation'! 😄

@janboehm@edi.social Ah well, as British band Cradle of Filth once memorably put on a t-shirt: 'Dead girls don't say no.'

@Unixbigot@aus.social Perfect! (Well, almost. It's perfect if you change the second line "it's" to "its". ;-) )
