Thanks. That's the kind of historical detail I was hoping to learn.
this is also just very specifically the one "NASA" outpost they have that is specifically owned by the CIA. there's like a public autobiography about it somewhere

also i did spend a good deal of time trying to find an actual living example of euclid's elements and all i could find was some fucking cambridge asshole saying outright that he had written every part of it himself. and of course it all acted like "formalism" was such a huge fucking important thing back in ancient fucking greco-mathematics

BREAKING: A sanctioned Russian bank took 15.5 million Curaleaf shares worth about $58 million in December 2023 from an offshore company tied to CEO Boris Jordan.
The offshore company used the shares to raise at least $77 million.
The Moscow bank's funding of Jordan personally and, later, a company owned by his close business partner was never disclosed.

It is said of Russia, “Every country has a Mafia, but with Russia, the Mafia has a country.”
And it is said of the United States, “Every country has a parasitic billionaire class, but with the USA, the parasitic billionaire class has a country.”

My children suffer every day, and I am unable to provide their basic needs 💔

@Donutsaurus dove si trovano le date di questi concerti? Finora mi sono affidato alla settimana sovversiva, ma non ci sono le ultime date. Comunque li adoro, li ho già visti in Cascina Torchiera. Potrei diventare un grupie.

The phrase "sange, sange, rokkon shoujou" is 「懺悔、懺悔、六根清浄」which I translate as "repentance, repentance, purity of all the senses".
Literally, 六根 means "six roots". It is a Buddhist term (the Sanskrit terms is ṣaḍāyatana) and refers to six the senses: sight, hearing, smelling, tasting, body-cognition, and mind-cognition.
The phrase is "rokkon shoujou" is a ritual prayer chanted during e.g. Shinto shrine visits. It is remarkable how closely Buddhism and Shinto are intertwined, I read that the phrase goes back all the way to Amaterasu.
The miko in the Noh play "Aoi no Ue" starts with a prayer, but then adds a spell to repel the spirit, who is thought to ride on a dappled grey horse from the other world to this one.
There is a full translation of the play here:

It makes a lot more sense if you have read the Tale of Genji, but there are explanatory footnotes as well.
@wim_v12e Ah this is great! Thank you very much, Wim 🙇

Przewalski-Pferde sind ursprüngliche Tiere – und waren in ihrem natürlichen Lebensraum, den Steppen Zentralasiens, ausgerottet. Nun haben Naturschützer*innen und Biolog*innen #Pferde aus Berlin nach Kasachstan gebracht. Sie sollen helfen, die Steppe am Leben zu erhalten. @ThomasKrumenacker war für euch in unserem Rechercheprojekt „Zukunft Erde: Graslandschaften“ dabei.

The prototype is still around here somewhere and nowadays I'd make the assets easily, because it's my favorite part in gamedev actually, and I'd just make around 10-20 different lure shapes and the textures would all be procedural, creating 1000s of combinations.
Of course these pictures do not show 1000s of his lures. He had like 40-50 tackle boxes full of fishing lures. These from the photos were just background decoration for his TV show.
