Re: Reading about ancient people
WHAAAAT?! Since when was there something like that at the Great Orme of Llandudno? We were there in 1997, and saw mostly boring and thoroughly touristy stuff (and got out of Llandudno as quick as we could). If we managed to miss those mines, majorTero wrote:> Pappa, have you been here?

"The internet is made of people. People matter. This includes you. Stop trying to sell everything about yourself to everyone. Don’t just hammer away and repeat and talk at people—talk TO people. It’s organic. Make stuff for the internet that matters to you, even if it seems stupid. Do it because it’s good and feels important. Put up more cat pictures. Make more songs. Show your doodles. Give things away and take things that are free." - Maureen J

Boat? The sea levels were lower too, so I expect they may have had less distance to travel. They managed to island-hop all the way to Australia.Tero wrote:How did we, us homos, get to Japan 10 000 BCE? N America we just walked to.
