No wonder why I love my sunflower seeds. It’s the favourite snack for Russians. Every Russian neighbourhood has babushkas sitting on benches eating sunflower seeds, and gossiping about everybody.

Even Vladimir Putin and Dmitry Medvedev can't resist the overcoming love for sunflower seeds which exists in the heart of every Russian.

On Telegram

Today I wanted to browse various channels, but stumbled across a recurring message:

'Access to this channel is not allowed with a version of Telegram from the Google Play Store!'

Alright, so Google is censoring third-party apps.

The solution: remove Telegram, if you have it from Google Play Store!
Get your application 🔗directly from Telegram as APK!

Installation is easy.

Also consider to get other applications as APK outside of Googles service. For example: Brave, Protonmail,...

I know it’s not supposed to be funny, but it is.

#Hiisi is a sacred place among the Baltic Finnic peoples. In pre-Christian times the word meant a burial ground and / or cult site, such as a sacred grove.

Toponyms containing the word hiisi are relatively common in Southern Finland and Estonia, and are usually found in the vicinity of ancient settlements, hill-forts, burial grounds, and fields of prehistoric agrarian communities, with the actual hiisi being at the center of the community — in every sense of the word.

According to cultural historian Veikko Litzen, the hiisi-toponyms (seen on the map) in Pertteli show that during the early days of Christianity in Finland, this community was divided into two factions: the Christians, whose village center later became the site of the local church, and the Pagans, whose life continued to revolve around the hiisi.

Typically churches were built on top of or right next to the hiisi, but not in Pertteli. The hiisi is some 5 kilometers from the church.

The main purpose of Viking runestones was to mark territory, to explain inheritance, to boast about constructions, to bring glory to dead kinsmen and to tell of important events. They were all engraved in Old Norse with the Younger Futhark (runic alphabet). They were erected between the 4th and 12th centuries; of which about 3,000 are still scattered around Scandinavian countries.
