What’s the best route and places to stop on a train journey around Sweden and Finland? In April I want to do a (mostly) train trip roughly from Stockholm to Helsinki or vice versa. I’l probably have about 10-12 days to do it. Have been to Stockholm and Helsinki before. I’ve also already ridden the Nordland Railway through Norway so I’m not too interested in seeing more of Norway on this trip, though I may want to go from Stockholm…

LPT: If your light roast coffee never comes out right at home, the water is probably too hot and scorching the beans as they brew. Try using water around 175°F/80°C instead.

Until recently, I’ve only been contributing to Roth, while letting my employer contributions round out m…

So it did read the MRZ and used that information to prefill the fields like name. After form submission I checked that in the form the surname is my first name and given name is my surname which was very confusing. After 3 days I got the v…

What happened with the reversals around canceling S.W.A.T.? I have been enjoying the show pretty much from the beginning. Then I heard it was canceled abruptly. Supposedly there was some kind of backlash from this to the point that CBS gave it a final shortened season. But now I’m hearing the show is getting another season entirely? I didn’t follow the behind the scenes or online discussion very closely….
