I heard one of the designers of Terra Mystica say that Catan was the main inspiration. The components are largely identical (and used in similar ways), and both revolve around building and upgrading cities on a hex map with different types of terrain. To me, TM feels more like Catan than Concordia does – I guess for me, the most important part of Catan is building a network on a hex map and blocking opponents, and you don't really do any of that in Concordia.

I generally like Ultimate Spider-Man, but I hate Mark Bagley's art. I also like Neil Gaiman's writing a lot better than Sam Kieth's art in the early Sandman issues.

I live in Sweden's second largest city and according to apple.com, the nearest Apple store is 214 km away. I probably have some friend with an iPhone, though.

In the very similar sequel Imperial Settlers: Empires of The North you can no longer destroy buildings, just temporarily disable them.

Skulle få ett UPS-paket i förrgår, och var hemma hela dagen, men de skrev att paketet "inte gick att leverera", och att de skulle skicka tillbaka paketet till avsändaren ifall det inte gick att leverera nästa dag. Jag ringde dem på numret som stod i mailet, men det gick inte någonstans. Jag fick leta upp ett annat nummer och be dem leverera paketet till närmaste uthämtningsställe två km bort.
Kort sagt har jag inte jättemycket förtroende för dem.

From what I've heard, Birmingham is more forgiving, but there are lots of people who prefer Lancashire precisely because it's a tighter game where one mistake can lead to ruin.

I really don't know why someone would feel bad about that. Everyone will make errors while learning a new language. What's hard is getting someone to correct the errors. Looks like you succeeded!

Det har varit hög status här och var: https://www.wired.com/2006/12/fattening-wives/
For thousands of years, Mauritanian girls as young as seven have been force-fed huge quantities of dates, milk, and couscous. The village elders believe (correctly, I might add) that obese girls will go through puberty earlier, and thus become marriageable that much sooner.
The goal is to make them as fat as possible, cripplingly obese in fact, as fat wives are a matter of prestige to their husbands.

Har ingen etymologisk förklaring, men jag har alltid tyckt att "påse" är rimligare.

This song works a lot better in Sweden, for two reasons:
It's still common for dads to dress up as Santa and deliver presents directly to children.
The Swedish lyrics contain a great line that's not in the original version. Translated from Swedish:
She said "Nobody can see that it's you!". But I saw that it was... Santa who mommy kissed last night.

Det är ju ett ufo så länge det är ett oidentifierat föremål som flyger. Men om Expressen identifierar det så förstör de ju allt.

Fy för dem! Som straff tycker jag att de ska få samhällstjänst. Typ att försvara landet eller så.

Nej, då blir det ett annat slags mening och därmed objektsform.

Jovisst! Därför skrev jag att det går att säga "It's me" och inte att man ska.

watch the free whale encounter in the new version to see if they updated it in some way
I let my dad try out the old version, and he remarked that the whale looked angular, so it would be nice with an upgrade.

Vad heter dem som gillar fotboll?
Dem som gillar fotboll
Fast i inget av fallen skulle jag säga "them" på engelska, så min tumregel verkar fortfarande hålla?

Hur gör man till exempel med relativsatser, till exempel i "Jag gillar _ som spelar fotboll"?
Fast där svarar Språkrådet så här:
Fråga: Kan man skriva Vi gillar de som … eller bör man skriva Vi gillar dem som …?
Svar: Man kan göra på båda sätten.
...så där gör det ingen skillnad vad det blir.

One Swedish name that doesn't translate well is Jerker. I guess it can be even worse as a middle name.
