I think I figured it out! The brothers Heinz and Lutz Heck started a breeding program to make cattle which looked like aurochs. Göring was taken with the idea, as it aligned with his views on a historic past, and hunting large beasts, and supported the project. The Polish Wikipedia entry says (via Firefox's translator): "The breed of cattle resembling the turn was first placed in the Prussian forest reserve Rominsten, and in 1942, the release was released in the Białowieża Forest." Which is where Simona Kossak was.
The Ukraine war gives another example. Russia cut off its oil supply to Europe, so there was risk of widespread power outages. The Swedish government advised people to keep cash on hand, in small denominations, should that happen.
Here in Sweden things are pretty cashless. Several stores - and most banks! - are cash-free. The busses haven't taken cash for about 15 years, instead taking a bus system card or debit card, or a QR code generated by their app. Debit cards (with a much lower network transaction fee than a credit card) or NFC/phone payments are commonplace, as well as a system called "Swish", developed by local banks, for account-to-account transfers. Even at a flea market or farmer's market, most people use Swish instead of cash. It's free for person-to-person payments, and 1-3 Swedish crowns (about 10-30 cents) for organizations. That said, I like cash and still use it, though mostly only at the grocery store.
I tried to figure out if ain't is a clitic, and got lost in a maze of linguistics terms. Since "He ain't" is grammatically correct, even if not part standard English, I assume it is not a clitic.
Strange. The overview map of each state’s loneliest road uses the US Route shield even for state routes like Alaska's SR 11 and California's SR 139. That mix-up may explain why the overview for Florida is wrong. The real Florida State Route 29 (76 miles, from Carnestown to Palmdale) is in southwest Florida, from west of Lake Okeechobee to nearly Everglades City. That's also what the text says. But the overview map of each state’s loneliest road shows it as an east-west panhandle route, just south of Georgia. The real US 29 does go to Pensacola, but it quickly enters Alabama on its way to Maryland, and does not take the route shown.
There is one one hit for "Canadian marble fox" on Google Scholar, which tells me it's not a scientifically recognized subspecies. That one hit is to https://pethelpful.com/exotic-pets/Russian-Pet-Domesticated-Foxes which says "This is nothing more than a domesticated red fox that has a "marble" fur coloration. They descend from the fur trade. Someone made up the "Canadian" part of the word (although some foxes do descend from fur farms in Canada) and its mythological status, claiming an art doll is the animal in question. Who knows why."
The residence hall I lived in had an enclosed passageway to the neighboring hall. Every year during move in week, at least one vehicle would crash into it. One year I was brushing my teeth and felt a thud through the building. A Ryder truck had slammed into the arch, breaking off part of the roof. Checking now with Google Street View, I see they've put in sacrificial barriers since I left.
Back around 2005, some Jägerettes came to the bar we were at, handing out free shots. After they left, the German woman in our group commented that back in Germany this was the type of drink old women use "for medicinal reasons", just like the video said. That likely wasn't quite the sort of marketing Jägermeister wanted.
We toured Italy for our honeymoon. My travel agent (that tells you it was a while ago) recommended Bolanzo, which was a great suggestion. While there we walked by the South Tyrol Museum of Archaeology .. with Ötzi on display! I jumped at the chance to see him.
