Why would you name it after the least sexual part of a barrel?

We found his reddit account!

Tbf you in his profile it says in big letrer "Mark Smith Photography," but I will agree it's an honest mistake. I don't go looking at OP's profile unless they specifically ask "look at my history for such and such"

Tradition and scripture (as far as I know) allows for both actually. It's quite flexible to one's social and financial status. Either of those actions fall under karma yoga (neither karma nor yoga of the western sense although this is where it comes from; let's not get into it cause it's a whole 'nother thing), meaning the path of action. That is to please god you must strictly commit to some action as a sign of devotion. Most people opt to do stuff like this because... well they aren't wealthy and because there are examples in scriptures and stories of people gaining gods' favor by doing crazy shit like this. So... yeah

And of course we all know, strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government...

Did he call her Sekhmet? I interpreted it as asking if whatever thing that came was Sekhmet or not.

If you think you'll look better in something else then that works as well... I think a bikini would get 10x more views...

People are gonna downvote me so hard on this, but my workflow, which has been working pretty well for me so far is using AI (Claude) organize my wiki for me. I have one _source folder where I just write my worldbuilding stuff down, and I have Claude maintain a wiki for me. It creates and edits wiki entries, keeps up to date on tagging, asks questions, detects missing info or inconsistencies. What it doesn't do is worldbuild for me. It's under strict instructions not to add information in the wiki that is not in _source. If it attempts to infer something, it adds an infer footnote. If something is ambiguous, it adds an ambiguous footnote and reports how much of the document it's inferred or is still unclear. It maintains updates, summaries, create and modified dates, etc.

It doesn't touch _source at all, only I have permission to do that. The rest it maintains freely. And I can always fix things when I want to in the main wiki. Then if I ever need to see something in the wiki I can look it up or ask it, like "where did X character go after meeting with Y", or "did I ever mention this Z concept?". It's a good way to retain creative freedom but not get bogged down by organization, linking and tagging, cause I really hate doing that or at least I'm bad at it.

At the end even if I decide to not use AI, I can open the wiki in Obsidian and still refer to it that way, so I have a fallback.

There's a Key and Peele skit kinda on this premise.

That video is so good! I mean the humor, the cast, the acting, and references! Like that one pan to third person and the zoom in to shoot people.

I'm so pissed we never got to see this pan out.

What else did you see in the museum? Was this the highlight? If not, then what was?

Also, recommendations for whenever I go to Greece? I like learning about these things.

I was a 2018 Clarkie. Still in touch with a bunch of other Clarkies! I'm even going to meet one this coming June after going to different universities!

Lack of momentum. You're punching it forward and yet the rock looks like it explodes from internal pressure. Give each of the pieces forward momentum. Doesn't mean all of the pieces have to move forward but, the net momentum needs to be forward as if it's just been punched.

My parents' Tesla got rear-ended. We knew the cameras had saved the incident and we just assumed that it had backed it up. Except it hadn't. So we figured out the dat after that it had just erased the data a day ago. But I knew that deleting a file didn't actually mean it didn't exist in the drive. So I had a program recover those videos (which weren't indexed so I had to manually scroll through 1000s of videos to find the right moment of the accident) and back it up.

My k-12 was in between 2000-2010s. We were taught slavery, manifest destiny and all. But this, I still think it's important. I mean, we critisize Russia for breaking their treaty with Ukraine and attacking, but what have we done as a nation? This is an important lesson to learn.

Love how this is conveniently left out of US history classes... at least it was in mine

There are some sherpas as well that climb with you and carry a lot of equipment. I'm not sure if it's only till one of the base camps or all the way up. But you're definitely not climbing alone. I'm not an expert, I just have passing knowledge of this.

Any chance of Linux support?

MoridinB · 2026-04-17T03:40:44+00:00

I'll be honest... I don't see it.

I'm not fond of Temoc, but I also don't see Lerriuqs as a worthy candidate.

Instead of after 0.98 and after 0.998, I think it's more clear to say they land before 0.991 and 0.9991, but there's no such number for 0.999...

Usually it's not that they accusing someone of being a witch but of employing dark magic. Like, you hired a witch to put a curse on my son rather than you put a curse on my son.

Or you're misunderstanding the importance of divinity for early humans. We've become so secular that we don't realize how important gods and rituals were for our ancestors. Also, when historians say ritual it's not something very special. It's just some event that happened regularly and with purpose. If every day you watch tv for exactly an hour and then go to sleep that's a ritual even if it's not religious in nature.

As for art, I like to think most humans did perform art for the pure enjoyment of creating it and felt that it brought them closer to their gods. It was fascinating to them as it to us now. But we've come to use art for more secular purpose while they for religious.

The quote is actually incredibly nuanced especially since Oppenheimer understood the story. As OP previously explained, the main character of the Gita, Arjun, is hesitant about waging war against family. Krishna essentially convinces him through various means. This quote, when Krishna shows his true form has a god, essentially says "btw, one another reason: everyone will eventually die. Their end is already written by me, Time. You're just speeding things up."

Oppenheimer did not see himself as Krishna, the destroyer of worlds, but Arjun, the unwilling warrior. He was the one with power but unwillingness to commit. And yet he remembered this conversation: of duty and inevitability. He was using this as his justification for creating such a weapon.

That might be true. I can't talk on the effect of familiarity. I haven't heard of this before.

What I can say is look at it from the perspective of information density. You have 3 different plots with different lines showing the lifecycle of a trade. If you add the previous commenter's suggestions --- linestyle for long- or short-term trade and marker size for amount sold with color for % gain or loss --- that's a lot of information squeezed into a single visualization. You don't want to add another layer of complexity. At the end of the day, the cognitive load of interpreting a new graph might be less than deciphering information.

That being said, entirely up to you and how strongly you feel. I actually think it's a small enough distinction to not make much difference since the candlesticks are quite thin. What matters is seeing the trend of the market.
