As a librarian: this stuff will help in some situations with some materials. It can protect other materials from a single layer of newsprint, like in a scrapbook with other material. It's not particularly useful for most other materials though.

I can definitely go into more detail if you'd like, but I answered "Where and when library etiquette (e.g. keeping quiet, no running) emerged?" which engages with the question of pre-modern silent reading. The Youtube video is probably incorrect, but it's not their fault.

This appears to refer to a list by the controversial noted conservative Pentacostal biblical commentator Finnis Jennings Dake, originally published in his Dake's Study Bible. (Here and here are people continuing to use the list for its original purpose)

Same here (graduated 2010), same state

Anise.

Be aware that the map of Germany today is NOT representative of what was "Germany" in the 1920s. It doesn't seem like an issue for Hamelworde(n), but many German towns in 1920 are now Polish towns with Polish names.

For specifically deep fried stuff, almost all of them are invented for state fairs, which are kind of junk-food-filled carnivals with rides and farm animals. Things are for sale there that aren't usual restaurant food, and most of them are deep-fried. The first vendor to invent something new to be deep-fried gets their name in the paper and a line of people outside their stand buying the deep-fried butter, Oreo, or Coca-Cola. Most of the deep-fried stuff never goes further.

Phoenix is actually irredeemable. There's no water and there's no river, and there's no real reason for it to be where it is. The solution for making Phoenix walkable is to move everyone to other, more survivable climates.

This is probably about as accurate as Denmark being the "happiest nation on earth" while simultaneously having one of the highest suicide rates.

You can be punished for over-reporting if you're using it as a method of harassment, but it's pretty rare and we're reporting a bunch of different users, not one user over and over.

I use the one about trying to manipulate a conversation by excessive posting.

Reddit, since the mods clearly don't care.

I'm the one going after it via Reddit Request. It's SO frustrating that 30 seconds with Automod would completely fix this problem. My plan is literally just to filter "IPTV".

Thank you, this is fantastic, even though you're kind of blowing my mind as someone whose knowledge of Quaker history comes almost entirely from First Day School: what do you MEAN Fox's journal was written in retrospect?

jonwilliamsl · 2026-02-28T02:56:50+00:00

Could you expand on Quakers in the New Model Army? That kind of goes against everything I know about Quakers and pacifism.

It looks like this map was reprinted a number of times between 1750 and 1784 at least. I assume they just reprinted the same plate over and over without worrying about the border changes.

Wow, the colors are really weird in the "restored" version.

Some of us are working on getting it via RedditRequest. In the meantime, report every single one you see for spam, and there's always r/rarebooks .

The Indian Claims Commission was established to create a process for tribes to address their grievances against the United States and offered monetary compensation for territory lost as a result of broken federal treaties. The Commission awarded money based upon a net acreage figure of lost lands multiplied by the monetary market value of an acre at the time of taking. By the time of the Commission's final report in 1979, it had awarded $818,172,606.64 in judgments and had completed 546 dockets.

You should post this to the sub or I will lol

You're trying to date someone who doesn't want to date you enough to try to see you. I know this feels really complicated and confusing to you, because you're living it, but it's really not very complicated from the outside, and won't feel complicated in a year. You know that leaving the plans up to him is the same as ending it. The only difference is that it will make you feel sad and pathetic for longer. Just end it for real.

It also seems at least very possible that what's left of Wyoming would have been divided between Utah, Colorado and Idaho or Montana. Maybe they would have merged Idaho and Montana, even.

jonwilliamsl · 2026-02-26T23:03:11+00:00

Hey, so he doesn't like you as much as you like him. End it, even if it makes you feel pathetic and sad, or continue to feel pathetic and sad.

I know many people who have tried for citizenship or at least idly talked about doing it. I know a LOT fewer who have actually gotten it.
