The Three Gorges dam displaced an approximate 1.3 million people, is of questionable structural integrity because of rushed construction, has had a huge impact on its immediate environment and in the event of a breach endangers 400 million people. While that monstrosity is an outlier, in most instances the construction of a dam will displace a lot of people and carries a sizable risk of breach if the construction isn’t carried out properly. Should or shouldn’t hydroelectric be considered environmentally friendly?

Well, it’s a gadget to inspect things… You could say it’s an Inspector Gadget.

Interesting. So instead of spinach a la creme it’s kale a la creme. I figure it works better with frozen kale than fresh, as it will have a finer structure.

The Dutch do one thing very well and that’s winter food. Probably similar in Danmark, as fellow Northsea coast dwellers.

Here in the Netherlands it’s a traditional winter food, but it’s eaten as a “stamppot” (potato mash, one of the many we have) with brown gravy and smoked sausage. We practically never eat it as a salad.

It depends on what the alcohol is in what it tastes like. Beer is on the bitter side, wine is tangy or sweet, liqueur is sugar with alcohol, and the distilled drinks (whisky, gin, wodka, etc.) can taste different depending on the casks, the water and wether or not they put spices in, what’s being fermented (barley, corn, potato) and for how long.

In some drinks you barely notice the alcohol and for others it’s like you’re drinking paint thinner.
