Unfortunately I don't have any pictures. I should take some next time I go back, at the end of this year. Might be worth re-evaluating. Having that said, I do recall several of the carvings well, and they had a distinctly different style compared to others in Tanum.

As for lichen growth, I couldn't differentiate the growth inside the carvings from that around them, so to 10-year-old me the carvings certainly appeared old.

But as an adult, I'd guesstimate that in that area, only ~100 years of lichen growth is enough for carvings to blend into the surrounding rock.

Edit: I am not sure if an lichen study was conducted.

Fun to see my home municipality on HN! I grew up in Tanum.

Growing up on the countryside during the 80s meant spending a lot of time outdoors, in my case climbing the mountains surrounding our village, looking for adventures.

During one of those climbs, around the age of 10, me and a friend actually found some rock carvings that hadn't been recorded before. Which was kind of a big deal, especially since no carvings had been discovered in our part of southern Tanum.

We ran home and told our parents, who in turn called the municipality. When they came down to inspect, we were told the carvings weren't authentic, as in not from the bronze age. I don't remember any tests being conducted, I think it was mostly judged by the style.

My archaeology career peaked, and ended, at age 10.

On a vaguely related note, two accomplished film poster artists passed away in the past month: Renato Casaro [1] and Drew Struzan [2].

If you write it out as "one litre" vs. "one point zero litres" it becomes a little bit more consistent though.

I'm also a Swede living abroad. I have signed up with Swish using a non-Swedish phone number (but with Swedish bank account), it works fine in most cases. I do have an address though, but not in Sweden.

I do something similar (but less portable and more verbose) in C++ sometimes when I want to prototype something. My boilerplate is something like this:

  #if 0
  TMP=$(mktemp -d);
  c++ -std=c++11 -o ${TMP}/a.out ${0} && ${TMP}/a.out ${@:1}; RV=${?};
  rm -rf ${TMP};
  exit ${RV};
  #endif
    
  #include <iostream>
    
  int main()
  {
    std::cout << "Hello, world!\n";
  }

(the trailing semi-colons in the script part is to make my editor indent the C++ code properly)

You could give my email client https://github.com/d99kris/nmail a shot. It does basic html email parsing (leveraging w3m and pandoc) and its user interface is inspired by pine.

I understand their announcement says app passwords will stay (for now). But should Google eventually also deprecate app passwords, it would really restrict the use of third-party clients with GMail, given the self-paid security assessment OAuth clients must undergo. It would be a sad development given that email is one of the last popular "open messaging protocols" in use, where one can choose what client to use.
