i don't know if I'm familiar, who's rikke?
"As Vasa passed under the lee of the bluffs...a gust of wind filled her sails...the ship slowly righted herself as the gust passed. At Tegelviken, where there is a gap in the bluffs, an even stronger gust again forced the ship onto her port side, this time pushing the open lower gunports under the surface...water continued to pour in until it ran down into the hold. The ship swiftly sank to a depth of 32 m (105 ft) only 120 m (390 ft) from shore.
Vasa sank in full view of a crowd of hundreds, if not thousands, of mostly ordinary Stockholmers who had come to see the ship set sail. The crowd included foreign ambassadors, in effect spies of Gustavus Adolphus' allies and enemies."
"Pāua is the Māori name given to four New Zealand species of large edible sea snails...
It is known in the United States and Australia as abalone"
even cooler than the mural suggests:
"Translating to "Hammer of the Witches" in Latin, the Malleus Maleficarum described the secret lives of witches and cataloged their habits for purposes of easy identification, including the curiously specific description of stealing male genitalia and keeping them alive in bird's nests."

I saw a pretty decent sized manta ray while I was walking along the Panamanian Coast the other day.

more pics in body.
I didn't recognize it at first, just saw a large white shape I thought might be a fin or a tail originally because of how wavy it was, but then I realized it was a big ol' manta ray!
"Burning bones entirely requires extremely high temperatures. An environment of 1292 degrees Fahrenheit (700 degrees Celsius) is necessary to incinerate bones completely."
i make my own noodles thanks to babish.
babish is cool.
or was when he taught me about noodles.
"Xennials are the micro-generation of people on the cusp of the Generation X and Millennial demographic cohorts.
Many researchers and popular media use birth years from 1977 to 1983,[1] though some extend this further in either direction"
never heard of these.
I've been traveling and recommending travel for 15 years, if anybody has any questions about the process.
can I start watching ST with one of the newer shows, or is everything dependent on what came before?
i see, thanks so much for the guides, i appreciate it.
i'll look at both of those and probably jump into three and see how it goes.

okay I trust your judgment because you admitted:
"it doesn't start out the best"
I'm finding it difficult to get past that first interaction between Shakespeare elitist alien and Picard.
when you say start out, do you mean like the first episode, or the first season?
cuz I'll just skip the first episode and go back after I kind of care about the story and characters and find out what they talked about.
very green city, beautiful trees everywhere.
I just got to Panama City, Panama yesterday, buses are a flat $0.25 regardless of distance and the Metro is a flat $0.50 regardless of distance.
took the train for ~8 mi into town to get to my hotel for $0.50.
ate at a Korean BBQ buffet and saw a bunch of mapaches(raccoons) that apparently live along the Pacific Coast here.
with all the fashionable dress, performing arts theaters and bodegas around, it feels a lot like a casual New York City, moreso than any other central city I've been in abroad so far.
it has that "yeah, we're killing it" vibe.

What foods did you discover later in life you wish you had known about or tried earlier?

Tomorrow, The Burning of Judas.
every year during semana de la Santa, the holy week, Guatemalans dress up as Roman soldiers and ceremonially chase Judas through the streets for his betrayal.
tomorrow they're going to build effigies of Judas and burn them.
this picture is the front of a procession of 20 or so school children dressed like Roman soldiers ceremonially chasing down Judas.
some of the processions last for a whole street so I had to dodge six different processions today to try and get back to my neighborhood.
