Just got around to watching this one.
Loved how he was going house to house, being offered brown bread and tae, plenty of chat, getting the scéal, leaving with half a deer.

There’s nothing like walking up to a place for the first time and immediately be greeted by a friendly dog.

That’s how I ended up in a former tobacco drying barn in Conestoga, Pennsylvania, looking at a wagon – only a few days after I test drove a Tesla Cybertruck, its modern electric descendant
And that’s where I quit reading.

Same.
I do know that they drive on the left in Iceland b/c ladies riding sidesaddle back in the day. Horses were used there for everyday travel much longer than most countries did. [Ed. Note: Right-side sidesaddles are uncommon AF, and all of them are special orders/bespoke. Everything re: riding horses is done on the left b/c swords are worn on the left. Can’t mount from the right side w/a sword in yr way.]
They drive on the left in Jamaica, and most cars are right-hand drive, which can take some getting used to, and may mash up yu head. A couple weeks after returning home from a long vacation there, mom went to the passenger’s side 'steada the driver’s side of our car. We had a jolly good laugh about that.

For a year or so, I was traveling a lot for work between countries that drove on the left and the right. The best advice I heard to keep my head together was “keep the passenger closer to the sidewalk (or ditch) than you are.”

… It’s not just the impact details that matter. According to study co-lead author Chris Kirkland, analyzing the nature of the first known Archean meteorite event can help researchers gain better insight into both continental evolution and the history of life’s development on Earth.
“It… radically refines our understanding of crust formation,” he argued. “The tremendous amount of energy from this impact could have played a role in shaping early Earth’s crust by pushing one part of the Earth’s crust under another, or by forcing magma to rise from deep within the Earth’s mantle toward the surface.” There’s even a chance the impact event eventually contributed to forming the giant precursors to continents known as cratons.
The study’s authors believe this meteorite alone may have played an important role in Earth’s geologic history, but it’s almost certainly not the only one.
“Uncovering this impact and finding more from the same time period could explain a lot about how life may have got started, as impact craters created environments friendly to microbial life such as hot water pools,” said Kirkland.
