Just added to my ever growing “to read” list!

“tribespeople, I have sat for quite some time by the lake of the glowing water, attempting to solve the riddle of the carvings! I have a weird tingling rash all over, but I think I have decoded it!”

For me, it shows a compassion for the people of the future, which is inspiring in a way. Similar to the Voyager golden records, which are unlikely to ever be found by anyone, it is partially an exercise in understanding ourselves.

Over ten thousand years, erosion or earthquakes can expose the entrance, contaminating the site. People could dig a well or prospect for minerals. The suggestion of underground activity could suggest to them that it is a good place to mine, or even that there’s a tomb or other interesting artifacts

Ah that’s a good rabbit hole. Love to see it.

Was it via the sister city page? https://www.sixdegreesofwikipedia.com/?target=Battle+of+Stalingrad

The biggest bummer is when they democratize and suddenly the rug gets pulled out and it’s like democratization never happened. Such as Tunisia and Myanmar

I love that you picked a true deep cut in terms of nut lore. A+

Taste is subjective, but even so, the history of so many people singling out this phrase as beautiful is itself interesting

These three words go well together. Kinda like cellar door. Aesthetically pleasing.

HELLO MY BABY, HELLO MY HONEY, HELLO MY RAGTIME GAL

This is a big problem in actual research too

This was the one reason I wasn’t cheering for the filibuster to be repealed. The 60 vote threshold was the only thing that saved it last time. They will only be able to realistically get rid of it if they abolish the filibuster. Which would be a net win for Democrats, so they likely won’t do it.

Apparently this mainly applies to grizzlies. Black bears with cubs may make a display but basically don’t attack

The only bear I’d be concerned about was a bear with a cub. If you see one, you are already in danger. So I’d say single bear > woman > man >>> bear with cub

I think it would be best for Firefox to be given greater autonomy, like Thunderbird has been. Thunderbird asks for donations and I’m happy to provide! I don’t think it’s a coincidence that Thunderbird started to thrive after being greater independence. Major new initiatives in user interface, mobile client after years of stagnation. Something at Mozilla central is deeply rotten.

Same, also the Readrops app. Less features but faster sync.

Yes, it’s indefensible and bizarre. I was the one who first put forward the idea on their Connect forum. I don’t understand their thinking on a lot of development priorities, and they don’t seem to care too much about helping us understand.

Tablet UI is available in Nightly. It’s actually pretty good!

I found it very odd how little they emphasize donations. Wikipedia, for example, has been quite successful with their pledge drive model, and like Wikipedia, Firefox has a natural platform to ask people to donate. I guess they are afraid of people switching to a browser that doesn’t ask them to donate, where with Wikipedia, there is no real alternative
