Finally made time to do a run of Destroyer: The U-Boat Hunter. Just the simplest, shortest convoy battle to start out with and oh my goodness the game is a blast. Relentlessly intense and it demands pretty complex thinking even when everything is going right (I got fairly lucky).

Le négationnisme polonais, incarné par le nouveau président Karol Nawrocki, repose sur les mensonges suivants. - Les Polonais non-juifs ont été victimes du génocide perpétré par les nazis au même titre que les Juifs. - Les Polonais n'ont pas participé au génocide. J'en parlais ici en décembre.

There’s a Norwegian version of the idiom “like a fish out of water” that translates to “like a Dane on skis.” And an old Norwegian phrase for someone sneaking out of a party without saying goodbye is “making a Swede of oneself.” Conversely, a Finnish euphemism for vomiting is “speaking Norwegian”
