“During WW1” is the context for this

The first Japanese embassy to America even landed in San Francisco in 1860

CE/BCE isn’t strictly astronomical year terminology, it can be applied to the Gregorian calendar and AD/BC can be used for astronomical years. If you see BCE outside of an astronomy context, it probably does not include a year zero

Mate I’m not telling you off for wanting to stretch, just puzzled about why you don’t do it earlier on when you start feeling cramped

You’re allowed to get up during the flight though

Noita! I’ve stopped playing it now as I more or less achieved everything I wanted to with it, but it really got a hold of me with how much it rewards creative approaches to problems

Lynch is a professional communicator, surely? His job is literally to represent the interests of the members of the union. And he’s very good at it.

We can indeed print steel with direct metal laser sintering. I think that the object needs heat treatment afterwards, though to be fair it is almost ten years since I properly read up on it and things have probably advanced since then

You see it - an ambush. Four with crossbows, watching from the shadows in upper story windows. One leaning against the wall forty feet ahead with his finger twitching nervously over his knife. Three at a table, barely visible through swinging saloon doors, but each with a hatchet in hand listening for the sound of fighting. You feel every grazing shift of the wind, hear the distant crake of carrion crows unaware of the feast that is about to be laid out.

You see beyond the walls of the buildings, even. No, beyond… something else. Another kind of wall. One distant, but ever-present. Five titanic figures, shrouded in the haze of vast distances, looking over you. They speak, but you cannot know their tongue. One commands the others, a theatrical gesture wrought across the entire sky, and the other four hurl stones of mountainous proportion. What calamity have you witnessed?

And in an instant, they vanish from your sight. One of the crossbowmen shot your leg.

it said something like “this is very high”.

Maeshowe, in the Orkney Islands off the northern tip of Scotland. It’s a properly ancient structure, and there are 30 runic inscriptions in it which are all just straight up graffiti, including “Tholfir Kolbeinsson carved these runes high up”. My favourite part is it’s not even that high up, like the guy was probably just on someone’s shoulders.

Oddly enough we probably have the story of the graffiti artists. The Orkneyinga saga tells the tale of some 12th century Norsemen who took shelter there during a snowstorm and looted the place. By the time they did so, Maeshowe was already about 4,000 years old, and whatever they looted was probably left there by their own ancestors a few centuries beforehand.

There’s 1,000+ miles and the Carpathian Mountains between Estonia and the range of the golden jackal, though

And if I were the bear, yeah, I probably know I could kill that little thing as soon as I got hold of it, but it’s way faster than me and it’s made of knives. It’s gonna hurt me the whole time I’m killing it. Why risk it?

To be fair it was a prefix in the Latin word that it’s ultimately derived from. We still treat it a little like a prefix when we use the im- part of the related “import” like a prefix, as we also have “export” and “transport”

Should be exportant, obviously

“It’s like It is relying on unpaid labor when the company has nearly a billion dollars in revenue,”

Heads up OP, you might want to change the community name to “loneliness” rather than “lonelinnes” before it becomes a hassle to move stuff over. People are definitely more likely to find it and immediately understand what it’s about that way

Either patatas bravas or roasted. Or just roasted potatoes with bravas sauce. But to be honest I’ll be happy with most forms of potato. What a stellar vegetable

I picked up Tunic after wanting it for quite some time. I’m enjoying it a great deal. I was sure that it couldn’t possibly be that much like Dark Souls when it has that art style but, uhh, no, turns out it’s the opening is basically exactly Dark Souls right down to being told to go ring two mysterious magic bells in opposite directions from where you currently are

As a fellow scared-of-the-ocean-ist, I actually feel like it kinda adds to Subnautica. The game is meant to have some horror. We just get a bit extra

If cats are any sin, it is pride without a doubt. Hell a specific kind of big cat is already called a pride when they’re in a group
