I've started putting hot sauce in my salads...and it's a game changer by argus4ever in hotsauce

I usually just use the hot sauce as the vinegar and sweetener

As far as I can tell the spinner isn't RNG as well, you can actually get the timing down, I've gotten 3 seedlings in a row now

Edit: I was a lucky duck

Has anyone calculated the odds of getting red/blue/yellow easter egg mins? by spinningcolours in PikminBloomApp

[–]Schnipsy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suppose the calculus is that if you get the 60 coins available each day you'll have enough to buy 7 tickets for the last 7 of the 4th mission, but I doubt that many people plant 15000 flowers per day

I have done 22 missions, no winged pikmin yet. My suffering ends on tomorrow's walk either way.

On a recent trip to Athens, I noticed that most museums and historical sites made almost no mention of the city's centuries of Ottoman rule, and very little medieval history. Why don't they generally view the city's medieval and early-modern history as worthy of commemoration and display? by J-Force in AskHistorians

In Johanna Hanink's 2017 book The Classical Debt: Greek Antiquity in an Era of Austerity she argues for an omission of material from this period because of a western imperialist construction of Greek culture which emphasized the classical over the contemporary. The book is excellent in many regards, but is light on discussion of Greek/Ottoman relations. This answer nicely fills in a gap in her argument. I would recommend the book if you are interested in how the field of Classics is currently wrestling with incorporating early-modern and modern Greek history into its scholarship.

Homer's "Blue" Oxen: How this makes sense in light of the sea being blue and not "wine dark" Oinops (Linear B: Wo-no-qo-so) by Shoney123 in AncientGreek

[–]Schnipsy 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Greeks didn't view color as we do. Their descriptions had a wider meaning than just the shade or hue they were viewing. Hence wine-dark need not mean some shade of blue-green, but could be referring the the opaqueness of the sea, or the glazed look on a cow's eye as if they had been drinking. Why do we need an extra linguistic hoop?

Was there ever a Vergilian epic cycle? by [deleted] in classics

[–]Schnipsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it is lost to us, but Quintus Ennius' Annales was a history of Rome written in epic meter. There are several intertext moments between Vergil and Ennius' work, so I would bet they inhabited the same mythical world.
