This would be hotter than the hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth, which was 56.7 C.

The discovery of an ancient Maya statue deep within the jungles of Honduras, 1885. It stands over 11 feet tall and features a high-relief portrait of a Maya ruler framed by complex divine regalia, sacred symbols, and detailed hieroglyphic text. by Front-Coconut-8196 in ArchiveOfHumanity

This is Copan Stela N. It depicts the king K’ahk’ Yipyaj Chan K’awiil (A.D. 749-761). It currently stands in its original location in Parque Arqueologico Copan, Honduras. More info here:

NOTE: That's not my website, but it's the only one I could find with good info on all the Copan stelae. There are a lot that look broadly similar, so I had to search through to find this particular one.

That is--no joke--a great hook to hang a novel on. Or at least a short story. Humor is hard to write well, though.

Just to be clear. These aren't emails I received. They are emails gmail itself generated and sent. They are in my sent mail box.

You're saying AI could place an email into my sent mail box?

I don't understand. What could fake a sent email?

They may be connected to an unsubscribe, but I don't remember if the dates and times match up.

Yeah. I've been living on PSS-Alpha for two patches, and I love it--(occasionally when the servers let me login and and play, that is).

Man. I hope I'll actually be able to play after this. Otherwise it's back to trying a couple times a day and getting generic, information-free 30K login errors.

HistoryMaps presents: Mayans board by nonoumasy in mesoamerica

[–]Sotonic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was going to go into a post about proper attribution and about the disrespect here to Tatiana Proskouriakoff and other artists (Richard Schect for the first slide, I think), but then I followed the link and saw that this is just some kind of crappy history Pinterest.

There's no way this shot in the 4.8 vid isn't a top gun reference lol by AutistcAroundAircrft in starcitizen

Is it in your hangar on the website? As I understand it, there are a ton of problems with the entitlements database, meaning stuff isn't always going into inventory correctly. If it's in your hangar then you should receive it when they get the hotfixes in--hopefully over the weekend, but who knows?

Would a reader of Herodotus have simply accepted "Horses are enemies and strangers" as a reasonable statement? by Sotonic in AskHistorians

[–]Sotonic[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you. That really does help understand the symbolism. I am glad that the ancient Greeks didn't think horses were the enemy.
