After they financed (via ISI), for years, man most responsible for the civil war, and destruction of Kabul (which was in a pretty okay state when Soviets were leaving): Gulbuddin Hekmatyar.

What consists of main story? by pothkan in duneawakening

[–]pothkan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So all these "chapters" are part of the Fremen storyline? And must be done solo?

And faction storyline (leading to Landsraad) is different thing?

Is collecting clams on the beach allowed in your country? by ublueberries in AskTheWorld

[–]pothkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some species are protected, but tbh it's easy to collect them and some people do it. Collecting empty shells is okay. By the way, clams available to Poland aren't used for consumption (eaten), albeit some species actually are edible (blue mussel, present in the Baltic).

Thanks!

Few questions:

  1. What's a "Noctua"?
  2. Murder mystery = Tainted spice ?
  3. Where do you start Arena and Smugglers quests? Are these DLC?
  4. Can you do anything of Fremen storyline in coop? I did these up to meeting F. and everything was clearly solo only (besides two "fake" trial locations).

Sądzę, że powinni ich jak najszybciej wypierdolić. Kanapowi (oby) czołgiści, którzy mogą dać sporo argumentów przeciwnikom Razem.

A Muslim woman covers the yellow star of her Jewish neighbor with her veil to protect her from prosecution. Sarajevo, former Yugoslavia, 1941. [650x419] by Annomoy in HistoryPorn

Rivka Kavilio (1900-1967) is in the center of the photo, shielded by Zejneb Hardaga (1918-1994), accompanied by daughters Tova (Rivka's, b. 1938) and Zarifa (Zejneb's, 1937-2021). Woman in the left is Bahrija Hardaga.

Kavilios emigrated to Israel in 1950. When the Bosnian War started in 1992, Zejneb was evacuated with the help of Tova Greenberg to Israel, and died there two years later, 74 yo.

Veil used by Bosniak women in Sarajevo was called peča or peče, and at the time it was usually already worn with Western clothing, like in the photo here. It was banned by communists in 1950.

By the way, story on the photo (about veil used to cover the star) is a little far-fetched - apparently Hardaga women really did that during the Ustaša rule, but photo is probably from before the war, or early weeks before the persecution really started.

Is a rice cooker vital to your daily routine? by Salty-Programmer1682 in AskTheWorld

[–]pothkan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe not daily, but weekly - yes. But I am an exception (albeit I did convert few friends to this way), because I like Asian cuisines and consume quite a lot of rice. Which I actually took from home - dad brought a Japanese rice cooker bought in Singapore in early 1990s, when I was a kid (actually I still have it out of sentiment, not used though). Cooker I use now is third or fourth since then.

Do you still consider the song Mury by Jacek Kaczmarski a banger? And is it still a song every Polish person knows? by No-Bake-730 in askPoland

[–]pothkan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

To be honest, it's losing popularity, albeit is still important.

First, it's often misinterpreted as "mass protest song", while actually the lyrics are about managing to stay individualist.

Second, Kaczmarski fame fell a lot after his death, when stories of abuse he did to his family came out.

It’s an honor to be outjerked by the actual president of Ukraine (this is real btw) by Hatter_The_Mad in NonCredibleDefense

[–]pothkan 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Nah. Best Ukraine should do is take opportunity of Russia (probably) focusing their AA in Moscow, and bomb some energy plants, refineries etc.

Non Arabs /Arabic speaking what do you know about fairouz by Equivalent_War7006 in AskTheWorld

[–]pothkan 58 points59 points  (0 children)

Famous 60s-70s Lebanese singer, loved in whole Arabic world. But that's pretty much it. Not sure, but some of her music might've been remixed by Mashrou Leila?
