They are pretty versatile, especially if they are homemade. But my go-to's are a smokey bbq sauce or sriracha mayo

I'd argue that's the same for black bean burgers. They are not like faux meat burgers, but a thing on their own.

The signal to other advertisers is more of a victory than the case itself.

Het lijkt iedereen zo weinig te doen om me heen. Je ziet de levende wereld gewoon keihard achteruit hollen, en we gaan allemaal vrolijk door met ons leven...

Around the building itself, it's all lawns indeed. But around the buildings in the background it's a lot less "well-kept" with a lot more shrubs on ground level.

Maybe we can also add the Macedonian Empire while we are at it

The Ottoman Empire never ruled in east Arabia (apart from Muscat) or in the central areas, did they?

Then you'd have like double the colors on the map.

To everyone enjoying their Gouda abroad, the milk industry has a huge role in the land subsidence and peat oxidation in the western and northern Netherlands.

It isn't specifically about flooding. Flooding is a fairly manageable risk in the western Netherlands. As strange as it may sound for an area that is below sea level. The true problem for Gouda is its subsoil. The city is built on a thick peat layer, which is subsiding. Gouda is by far the most vulnerable historic city in that regard.

As you can see on the photo in the article, the water level in some canals is like 10 or 20 cm below the street level. Water so shallow will start creeping upward in your walls. The streets and to a lesser extent buildings are slowly subsiding. So why not just lower the water level? Well, this accelerates the oxidation and compression of peat, causing faster subsiding. You could heighten the street, but the extra weight will cause more subsidence. This is the conundrum Gouda is in.

I do it with ublock origin. It prevents the paywall from loading.
