  1. Today is Black Country Day, the first day of what would usually be a month long festival celebrating my local area the Black Country. The Black Country was the heart of the industrial revolution and July 14th is chosen for it is the anniversary of the first successful Newcomen Steam Engine built in the Black Country in 1712. The area gets it name from it's heavy industry which blocked out the sky with smoke and covered the area with thick black soot then at night the sky would glow red from the many furnaces, a thick 10 metre coal seam below the surface of the land also contributed (and may have been the original reason for the name).

    The Official Black Country flag was designed as part of a competition to decide the regions official flag, it owes its design to a quote made in 1862 by Elihu Burritt, the American Consul in Birmingham. He described the region as "black by day and red by night", the chain and glass cone show just two of the major industries of the area chain making and glass making.

    I think by temporary Kebsla might mean that people with freckles tend to have them more noticeably during the Summer when the sun shines a lot. That's how it is for my sister. That's because freckles get darker when they're exposed to UV light.

    I have known people who have no visible freckles until they start to "tan".

    I cringe enough watching other people lose fingers and noses in Rimworld. An eye or hand seems a little extreme. I'll take the abusive parrot.

     

    You may lose an eye or an hand from this abusive parrot 🤔

    Now in the German version he speaks perfect and fluent Standard German with no accent. Which is utter nonsense. He clearly says in German "This water will turn to rum" and Harry is like "rOn I dOn'T uNdErStAnD wHaT sEaMuS iS tRyInG tO Do!" which makes him look like a complete idiot.

     

    Love it 😂
