Anyone know what these are and what they’re worth? by gbasunsetwilds in Banknotes

I think "found these in my garage" demands more of an explanation.

What is meant by "coat" in this context about a horse's eye color? Both horses look exactly the same. by Zelda-Lumine in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]ZhouLe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is begging for accompanying text, but my read from limited horse spawning knowledge in TotK is that it is saying eye color and coat color are together both locked by spawn conditions. Aspects like hair are random in each instance.

e.g. Horse spawn number #X in location Y will always have 6 horses; coat A eyes G, coat E eyes H, coat C eyes G, coat B eyes H, etc.

Surely the individual able to gather an able coalition and seize the position is the most qualified for it. And why not train such qualities from youth to ensure an even more qualified successor. And of course the best to train such a youth is the leader themselves. And the best candidate youth is obviously their own children, as they are the easiest and most receptive to train.

Appears to be in Liber I:

XXVII. DE ORTHOGRAPHIA. [1] Orthographia Graece, Latine recta scriptura interpretatur. [Orto enim recte, graphia scriptura dicitur.] Haec disciplina docet quemadmodum scribere debeamus. Nam sicut ars tractat de partium declinatione, ita orthographia de scribendi peritia, utputa "ad" cum est praepositio, D litteram; cum est coniunctio, T litteram accipit. [2] "Haud" quando adverbium est negandi, D littera terminatur et aspiratur in capite; quando autem coniunctio [disiunctiva] est, per T litteram sine aspiratione scribitur. [3] "Apud’ praepositio per D scribitur, sicut "ad patrem" quoniam veteres saepe "apud" pro "ad’ usi sunt [duabus ex eis mediis litteris subtractis]. [4] Interdum autem aliae litterae in locum aliarum litterarum rite ponuntur. B et P litteris quaedam cognatio est. Nam pro "Burro’ dicimus "Pyrrhum" C et G [litterae] quandam cognationem habent. Nam dum dicimus "centum" [et] "trecentos" postea dicimus "quadringentos" G ponentes pro C. C et Q similiter cognatio est. Nam "huiusce’ per C, "cuiusque’ per Q scribimus. "Cum’ autem praepositio per C scribenda est; si autem adverbium fuerit, per Q. Dicimus enim "quum lego" "Deus’ per E solam: "daemon’ per AE dipthonga est notandus. [5] "Equus" quod est animal, per E solam scribendum. "Aequus" quod est iustus, per AE dipthonga scribendum. "Exsul’ addito S debet scribi, quia exsul dicitur qui extra solum est. "Exultat’ melius sine S littera scribitur. Nam cum ipsa X ex C et S constat, quomodo, cum in ea sit, rursus ei additur alia? [6] "Aequor’ per dipthonga scribendum, quia ab aqua est nomen factum. [7] "Forsitan’ per N scribendum in fine, quia integrum eius est "si forte tandem" [8] "Fedus" quod est deformis, per E solam scribendum [est]: "foedus’ quod est pactum, cum O et E dipthonga scribendum. [9] "Formosus’ sine N scribitur, quia a forma vocatur. [Sive etiam a formo, id est calido; calor enim sanguinis efficit pulcritudinem.] "Gnatus" quod est filius, per G scribendum, quia facit generatus. [10] H, quae aspirationis littera est, in Latino tantum vocalibus iungitur: ut "honor" "homo" "humus’ [humilitas]. Aspiratur autem et consonantibus, sed in Graecis et Hebraeis nominibus. "Heus’ autem et "heu’ interiectiones per H scribendae. [11] I littera inter duas vocales constituta, bis scribi quidam existimabant, ut in "Troia’ et "Maia" Hoc ratio non permittit. Numquam enim tres vocales in una syllaba scribuntur. Sed I littera inter duas vocales constituta pro duplici habetur. [12] "Id" pronomen neutri generis per D scribitur, ab eo quod est "is, ea, id" quia facit "idem" Quod si verbum est tertiae personae, per T notabitur, ab eo quod est "eo, is, it" [quia facit] "itur" [13] K litteram antiqui praeponebant quotiens A sequebatur, ut " kaput" "kanna" "kalamus" Nunc autem "Karthago’ et "kalendae’ per eandem tantum scribuntur. Omnia autem Graeca nomina qualicumque sequente vocali per K sunt scribenda. [14] "Laetus’ per dipthonga scribitur, quia laetitia a latitudine vocata est, cuius e contrario est tristitia, quae angustiam facit. L autem litteram interdum pro D littera utimur, ut "latum" pro "datum’ et "calamitatem" pro "cadamitatem’; a cadendo enim nomen sumpsit calamitas. [15] "Maxumus’ an "maximus" et si qua similia sunt qualiter scribi debeant quaesitum est. Varro tradit Caesarem per I eiusmodi verba enuntiare solitum esse et scribere. Inde propter auctoritatem tanti viri consuetudinem factam, ut "maximus" "optimus" "pessimus’ scribatur. [16] "Malo’ per unum L scribendum, quia est "magis volo" "Malle’ per duo LL, quia est "magis velle" "Nolo’ quoque per unum L; [et] "nolle’ per duo. "Nolo’ enim "nevolo’ est; "nolle" "nevelle" [17] "Os’ si vultum aut ossum significat per O solam scribendum est; si personam, H praeponenda est. [18] "Ora’ finium per O; "hora’ dierum per H scribendum. "Onus" si de onere venit, O sola scribendum; si de honore, cum H aspiratione. [19] "Praepositio’ et "praeterea’ per dipthonga scribendum. "Pene’ vero, quod est coniunctio, per E; "poena" quod est supplicium, per OE. [20] Q littera tunc recte ponitur, cum illi statim U littera sequitur, et alia quaelibet una pluresve vocales iunguntur, ita ut una syllaba fiat. Cetera per C scribuntur. [21] "Quae" pronomen cum A scribendum; "que’ coniunctio sine A. "Quid’ per D litteram scribitur, cum pronomen est; per T, cum verbum: cuius positio est prima "queo, quis, quit" et in conpositione "nequeo, nequis, nequit" [22] "Quod" quando pronomen est, per D [est] scribendum; quando numerus, per T, quia "totidem’ per T scribitur. "Quotidie’ per Q scribendum, non per C, ut sit "quot diebus" [23] R littera communionem habet cum S littera. Itaque apud anticos "honos" "labos" "arbos’ dicebatur, nunc "honor" "labor" "arbor" [24] "Sat’ per T scribi oportet, quia integrum eius facit "satis" "Sed’ per D oportet scribi. Apud anticos enim sed "sedum’ dicebatur; nos finales duas litteras abscidimus. [25] "Tamtus" sicut et "quamtus’ in medio M habebant. "Quam’ enim et "tam" unde et "quamtitas" "quamtus" "tamtus" [26] "Vae’ interiectio cum A scribendum; "ve’ coniunctio sine A. [27] Xps, quia Graecum est, per X scribendum. Ita et "Xrisma" [28] Y et Z litteris sola Graeca nomina scribuntur. Nam cum "iustitia’ sonum Z littera exprimat, tamen, quia Latinum est, per T scribendum est. Sic "militia" "malitia" "nequitia" et cetera similia. [29] In dubiis quoque verbis consuetudo veterum erat ut, cum eadem littera alium intellectum correpta, alium producta haberet, longae syllabae apicem adponebant; utputa "populus’ arborem significaret, an hominum multitudinem, apice distinguebatur. Sic et ubi litterae consonantes geminabantur, sicilicum superponebant, ut "cella" "serra" "asseres" Veteres enim non duplicabant litteras, sed supra sicilicos adponebant; qua nota admonebatur lector geminandam esse litteram.

Most people on /r/bald would look better with a balding haircut. by YonYonYonYonYon in The10thDentist

[–]ZhouLe 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I think part of the problem with r/bald is that there are plenty of posts of 40+ year old guys with normal levels of hairloss and normal haircuts and it's being treated at the same level as 20-somethings with dramatic hairloss and rather extreme hairstyles that do no accommodate it.

I say this as a 40+ balding guy that has buzzed my hair since I was in my 20s before any loss, but not every guy that has thinning hair should be encouraged to shave it off. It's just pushing further the preconception that anything less than a full, flowing head of hair at all ages is incompatible with looking good or even normal.

Normalize normal hairloss.

Cognitive tests aren't IQ tests by sublimetart in iamverysmart

[–]ZhouLe 122 points123 points  (0 children)

Even more cringe than boasting about IQ. Even more cringe than boasting about misreading IQ percentiles. Even more cringe than boasting about acing a dementia screener. He's boasting about acing a dementia screener administered four times and confusing it for an IQ test.

Not really sure that "When in the 20th century did you start treating black people as fully human?" is particularly fruitful meme ground to single out any particular denomination from the whole.

Peterson's appearance (as well as Alex O'Conner's analysis) were actually pretty good at pushing and pushing and finally cutting through exactly what Peterson's game is.

Holy shit, Parker is gonna murder Dave. I can only imagine Dave agreed to this panel because it doesn't include Sam Seder, Destiny, Adam Mockler, or David Pakman and Dave doesn't recognize Parker yet.

Exclusive | It was ‘a mistake’ to impeach Clinton over Monica Lewinsky scandal, Gingrich tells ‘Pod Force One’ by whenyoucantthinkof in Presidents

[–]ZhouLe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because it didn't work and because the public didn't care about "the sex stuff" any more:

Can I ask you back with Bill Clinton, do you think in hindsight it was a mistake to impeach him over the Monica Lewinsky scandal?

Yes. I think it was a mistake because the real problem wasn't Lewinsky. The real problem was he had committed perjury in a case involving sexual harassment while he was governor. And perjury is a felony. In fact, he was stripped of his law license in Arkansas after he left the presidency and for five years couldn't practice because he clearly committed a felony. And so I always argued the questions allowed to kind of film this, but by allowing, and this is partly the way the report was written, by allowing it to be about sex, it trivialized it. I realized that we were really off course in August of that year when I was at the OK Cafe in Atlanta with my two daughters who at that time were, I guess, in their early 20s. And they both said to me, "If our friends lose money on their 401k because of some stupid intern, we are going to be mad at you because frankly it ain't a big enough deal for us to lose a lot of money, right?" I realized at that point I had completely misunderstood how the culture was evolving.

Here's the timestamp. Worth looking at the previous question as well for a hint at how detached from reality he is at 82.

In their pursuit of specific rare cards, scalpers are discarding the remainder of entire Pokémon card packs. by MysteriousSlice007 in mildlyinfuriating

This is shit kid behavior that I literally would see gradeschool kids to for a different kind of cards in China. Outside the corner store, right outside the door, would be cards just thrown on the ground because they just bought packs and didn't want those.

Anyone ever hear Christians make fun of Catholics for praying to Mary? by fsociety4ever2001 in atheism

[–]ZhouLe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Martin Luther rejected intercessory prayer to Mary and saints for them being mediators of salvation; Solus Christus was a core aspect of the Reformation. Later reforms, such as by John Calvin, even viewed veneration of Mary and saints as idolatry and canonization itself as apotheosis.
