Impulse bought a new hat bc I feel so fucking bad about how hikers treat Lofoten and I love to support a local economy

Also impulse bought a compression dry bag bc of how many trip reports say everyone’s rain cover soaked through and I’m obsessed with it. This is 6 days of hiking clothes incl a puffy mid layer

Around 10 kilos without food, gas or water but I’m feeling good

.9kg vs .4kg but for me it’s really about the pack down

Very cool that there is a specific Norwegian app for Norwegian hiking maps you can download to your phone

Did a quick hike in New Jersey today to break in my new boots & test out my daypack. So nice to get outside ☀️

Easier to understand what is happening now reading this in a sense

The English East India Company, as is well known, received, apart from political control of India, the exclusive monopoly of the tea trade, as well as of the Chinese trade in general, and the transport of goods to and from Europe. But the coasting trade round India and between the islands,* as well as the internal trade of India, was the monopoly of the higher officials of the Company.
The monopolies of salt, opium, betel and other commodities were inexhaustible mines of wealth. The officials themselves fixed the price and plundered the unfortunate Hindus at will. The Governor-General took part in this private traffic. His favourites received contracts under conditions whereby they, cleverer than the al-chemists, made gold out of nothing. Great fortunes sprang up like mushrooms in a day; primitive accumulation proceeded without the advance of even a shilling. The trial of Warren Hastings swarms with such cases. Here is an instance. A contract for opium was given to a certain Sullivan at the moment of his departure on an official mission to a part of India far removed from the opium district. Sullivan sold his contract to one Binn for £40,000; Binn sold it the same day for f60,000, and the ultimate purchaser who carried out the contract declared that he still extracted a tremendous profit from it. According to one of the lists laid before Parliament, the Company and its officials obtained £6,000,000 between 1757 and 1766 from the Indians in the form of gifts.
Between 1769 and 1770, the English created a famine by buying up all the rice and refusing to sell it again, except at fabulous prices.

RIP favorite airport snack. I loved your dark chocolate almond and sea salt bar but now I know it is zionist. 😔 (from the @hellgatenyc.com NL this morning)

A Tomodachi Life island decoration version of a barbed wire fence is now available to me in the game

Set up my tent for the first time yesterday & it was a good exercise. Plenty of space to be pinned down by driving rain & the lights are cute

Googled Marco Rubio to find out how old he is and Jesus Christ lmao
