Some parts of south Asia actually do use a six season model. You’ve got the four you’re familiar with plus monsoon season between summer and autumn and one other one either at the start or end of winter depending on the specific system

I am also definitely not coming into this with any expertise, but reading the linked paper about it looks at least somewhat promising to me. The ingredients are silica (sand) and a couple of cellulose derivatives (cellulose being what plants are mostly made of)
I’m not sure you are doing something horrible. Destroying somrthing majestic and, in several cases, benign, certainly. But you’re doing it with the express consent of the greater consciousness that makes up those things. Like you’re destroying a prison with particularly beautiful art on all the walls to let the prisoner out. Dormin actually holds up their end of the bargain the whole way through, and we don’t know for sure if they did anything bad to make the priest’s society bind them. Hell all we know about the priest’s society is that it does human sacrifice, if anything I’m leaning pro-Dormin here. There was clearly once a thriving society in the Forbidden Lands and the priest’s society broke a seemingly honest god into a bunch of monsters and shut the door on the place.
I really don’t think the specific date of reddit departure is what shaped the politics of either community, especially not when the one you’re saying was less shaped by reddit was born out of a political subreddit
Hexbear’s site culture is full of in jokes and big on dunking. That’s always going to be abrasive to outsiders, even without the whole thing where all of their many emojis were enormous on other instances
The moment when you see the first colossus in Shadow of the Colossus. You’ve watched a contemplative intro movie that sets the stage, been faced with a desolate land that you’re seemingly completely alone in, and charged headlong with only the light shining off your sword to guide you. You’ve seen nothing but you and your horse moving in this place in the half hour or so you’ve been playing so far. You’ve done just enough platforming to know that you’re a very normal human with no magical abilities, and if you’ve swung your sword at all you’ve seen that you have no real skill with it. You just know that you’ve got to kill these unseen colossi to hold up your end of the deal with the voice in the sky. And then a building shaped like a gorilla walks past you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3Ckn0mdFyEU
It’s essentially where reddit’s old Chapo Trap House community went after reddit banned them in 2020. It started federating with the rest of the fediverse some time last year, but there was a bit of a culture clash between it and some other larger instances and several of them defederated it
For the entire duration, he can’t work out what it actually is because it’s such a weird shape and so ridiculously huge that it being a dildo never even crosses his mind
It looks like the Honda one was actually only in Japan, but if I am reading correctly they still used the standards from the American SAE which had me thinking they did it in more markets. It was 2020 on the Honda Legend that they first did it, vs 2023 on the Mercedes, but Mercedes was indeed the first to actually get it certified in the US
I assume that’s about the self-driving part rather than the EV part. Honda was the first to actually sell something that met the requirements for the (American) Society of Automotive Engineers’ Levels of Driving Automation that counted as the the human in the driver’s seat not driving
How is a lack of national monetary sovereignty relevant to whether or not a currency is a fiat currency? The euro isn’t backed by anything, it’s as much a fiat currency as any other.
Imagine if this becomes a trend though. Every decent-sized website has an exclusivity deal with one search engine. At that point either google becomes the only functional search engine because it successfully monopolised too much of the web, or search engines in general become useless becaue every one of them is missing too many websites
It’s anti-green
Huh, fair enough!
Surely an oven that inherently steams everything it cooks is quite a different tool to a regular oven? It probably works well with breads and similar products, though, so I guess that’d work as a pizza oven
Millennial. I do unabashedly love avocado toast and lattes and also can’t afford a house, so I’m hitting the stereotypes
I don’t know where you’re from so you might be familiar with this anyway, but this is actually really popular at football matches in the UK. It’s made with bovril rather than a stock cube, but the idea is the same
I’m afraid I am completely unqualified to answer this beyond that Irene’s reign was a very messy one, ending with a rebellion against her. Her own son (the legal heir to the throne for who she was originally just regent) also rebelled against her earlier, and she had his eyes put out. It seems to me like Irene specifically was just absolutely ruthless enough to get past whatever societal rules may have been levelled against her
That said, there absolutely were empresses-regnant of the Byzantine empire, and there’s no reason to consider that a separate entity. Irene Sarantapechaena and about four or five others absolutely were ruling Roman empresses
Empress-consort rather than empress-regnant, I’m afraid. She was Julia Domna, wife of emperor Septimus Severus and accompanying him on his attempt to bring the north of Britain under his control
Please don’t do this to my wallet
