ALT Quote by Prime Minister Mark Carney: The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”. The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America. We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms. Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

Why the hell are all English posts in my feed suddenly automatically translated by grok and how the *** do I stop this? I don´t need AI to tell my what an EN post says by translating it to German. I am fully capable of doing this myself...

Marmalade stash… Chivers purchased from a German supermarket, the others traveled back with me after my last UK visit…
Pool is cleaned, water is refilling (hardly any rain in the past 2 months so preempting the hosepipe ban) and solar heating is in place. Pool time is here. Still need to warm up in the hottub afterwards, though.🤭
Next task: Cleaning the pond and fixing the waterfall.

Dafuq - I am shocked. It only took UK.GOV 20 seconds to approve my ETA - after 3 attempts because the app timed out due to taking too long to scan the chip and face and take a usable photo. 🫣🤣
Yorkshire, here I come. 🚢🥰

My petition to the UK Government for full transparency on the impacts of 86 deregulated free zones across England, Scotland, and Wales has finally been approved.
I urge people across the UK to sign and share this petition as widely as possible.
This is hugely important for the future of your communities, your property rights, your land, your towns, your cities, your councils, your citizenship rights, your collective sovereignty, for rejoining the EU, and the use of your taxes to fund corporations like US Blackrock, who pay zero taxes in free zones for 10 years.
The UK's 86 deregulated free zones are licensed for a quarter of a century, and are embedded with secondary legislation, meaning zero Parliamentary and public scrutiny.
This is in your hands now.

It’s very reassuring to know the President of the United States, during uncertain & treacherous times, is emotionally stable, measured, judicious & dignified in his public statements.
Pool time - water refilling, chemicals applied, filter and solar heating running smoothly. Seems all hoses and connectors survived the winter, too. No exchange needed. All I need to do is run the vacuum cleaner tomorrow. 🌞🌞🏊
