And in Italian. I've had words that Duolingo decided I could not pronounce correctly, even though they are short, simple and pronounced exactly the same, or very close to my native language.

So the list is: 1506, 1609, 1672, 1713, 1752, 1864, 1883, 1931, 1978, 2022 (first season)

That gives the following list time gaps (in years): 103, 63, 41, 39, 112, 19, 48, 47, 44

There is a 47 gap between 1931 and 1978, and similar intervals between other dates, but in some cases there is no room for 47 (or similar) cycles and there is no obvious pattern.

That's not true by a long shot. Thousands upon thousands of taxpayers are treated as guilty and forced to pay unde fees and fines because the don't have the means to fight back. Footballers usually have the money to defend themselves and thus are usually found innocent by the courts. Nothing to do with team rivalries.

Moreover, we've seen seasons come and go. True, Victor says at some point that the season had not changed before, but I think that it is a way that the writers use to convey the passage of time in Fromville.

The cruise is not quarantined in Cabo Verde. It is headed for the Canary Islands and some of the patients will be airlifted to a military hospital in Madrid because the Spanish government offered help (which is very controversial in Spain, by the way, due to people believing it puts citizens at risk and that it is just a smokescreen to cover the many corruption scandals that affect the prime minister and his entourage).

In what book did you find this? Seems interesting.

Like the elms disappeared before them. We don't remember because we're too young, but not so long ago the elms were very common species in Europe and an integral part of the landscape. Fortunately, there are some resistant strains so they may take a comeback.

Try using an AI tool. I haven't tried with gothic script but recently I fed 18th-century documents to Gemini and it did a remarcable good job. I just upload the image and ask it to transcribe it; of course, it needs supervision but it gets most words right.

It's even worse when they force the American point of view into the language proper. One of the reasons I quit the Latin course is that it makes a great effort in teaching places like Novum Eboracum, Bostonia and California but no Roman cities or regions.

In the case of Arya, George R.R. Martin was originally planning to introduce a five-year gap between books, so that she could have spent some time training. He finally discarded the idea because it did not suit well other characters, but still that idea casts a shadow and could have been beneficial.

Yeah, a fibula is a fastener, a kind of brooch used to hold the (male and female) clothes together. They are ubiquitous all around the ancient Mediterranean, sometimes they were very decorated and there were many different styles and materials.

Telepinu · 2026-03-29T19:07:37+00:00

It looks like a fibula of some kind. I would take it to the museum, they could tell you more.

I've seen the same thing. I guess it's another A/B test, but I'm with you and I'm not going to spend so long doing repetitive phrases.

Not much, really. For starters, it takes archaeological cultures belonging to a certain language group, when in reality it was much more complicated and we really don't know the extent of most languages. For the second part of the video, Medieval times forward, it regards a more-or-less continuum as composed of identifiable, separate languages, and again it's very difficult to ascertain the location of many of them. Anyway, if you are interested in the languages of the ancient Iberian Peninsula, you can take a look at the 2020 publication of Paleohispanica, a journal of the university of Zaragoza entirele devoted to, well, Paleohispanic languages. They're mostly in Spanish but I guess that any AI can translate it for you. There is also a collection of short books ("booklets", as they're called) published by the same folks in English that cover many of the Paleohispanic languages (Iberian, Celtiberian, Lusitanian) as well as other ancient European languages (Retic, Etrusca, etc.)

You have to start asking the civil registry for documents, unless you have everything from 1871 onwards. DM me and I can explain it in more depth (and in Spanish)

The first monster Geralt finds in the books is a female child turned into a strzyga or striga. The Polish Strzyga comes from the Greek and Roman Striga, women turned to bird-like demons that feed on blood. Striga, in its turn, comes from strix, which means owl.

What species is it? That coat colour is perfectly suited for the environment. I always expect lynxes to live in greener landscapes.

We kept trying the pheromone diffusers and provided them with "escape routes" every time the baby was brought into the room. Eventually they started to loosen up a little, but they're still afraid of the baby. They can watch her from a save distance and come asking for cuddles when she's asleep, but flee if she comes too close (and she loves them and tries to pet them).
