You don't read too much history, do you? Of course I can understand the confusion. Caligula was the guy who started running from sea to sea until he came back with a very long and unrecognisable beard. Also: that was the decline of the Roman Empire. Nothing to do with the other empires that went through the same process. EDIT: Sorry, I did not read the Western Empire thing. I guess the Egyptian empires exist to this day.
Well, you know. The emperor who fancies himself a music hall singer. What's her name again? There are some things that are common to a decline in an important understanding of history. There are 99, this is one of them.
Well, you know these things, and like the ban on eating pork (pork doesn't walk in the sand, so you have to buy it from somewhere) and morals in general, are a bit opportunistic. There are 28 days in a lunar month, easy to divide by 2, impossible to divide by 3, so 4 is a convenient number. Nevertheless, God makes the sun and the stars and the moon, which go round every 28 days - the light before the stars, which could be well aligned with Einstein. When it's time to harvest, look at the moon, don't worry about the sun. And perhaps Jehovah of the Seven Armies was El in the beginning. A local deity who was certainly a harvest deity. The problem is difficult. The year doesn't agree with the months and the months don't agree with the days, hence the calendar.
Almost adopted, or almost back to it. I remember reading in Toynbee that the solar calendar was an effect of the hard transition from a matriarchal society to a patriarchal one. I also remember reading Works and Days and how the Boreas impregnated the mares. So yes, sure it was a hard revolution, I think the most important one. 13 was the unlucky number, the Satan number and so on. But 28 days is easy and convenient, and even in the High Middle Ages --- as I said yesterday --- people count months as 28 days.
Sorry, I replied before reading the whole thread. Well. I have none of those good accouts on good sites like google or 365ish like everyone else. So yes. Sometimes I don't know how to send large files. Sure I can make a page on github, sure I can upload the file to IPFS, put it on a link and make it look like a normal link. This idea just came to me as I was writing this post
It's not that 99% of people are crazy or stupid, but you're bound to attract the remaining 1%. But why? That's the question. The site is not even on the dark web, I think these guys have a lot of resources to hide their files. I know about freenet, I used to use it but it was boring so I left. That was 20 years ago. Surely the Dark Web has grown since then.
I'm writing this after finding the site closed. Now I am going to pay for some space to send large files to people who are struggling to use Dropbox on their shiny silver laptops.
But now, I dont know why, theres a lot of IPFS pinning service I got HUGO hosting in GH and deploying in FTPS from fleek.com. It has nothing on it but it works like a charm.
People often use punctuation in very creative ways... this makes for better communication. Some writers use the semicolon to add an alternative explanation or to reinforce what they have written. Others don't use it at all: there are too many signs.

Mme. Bovary. First it just was an exercise to show to my wife how _descriptions_ are _action_. I was trying to improved her everyday writing, you know, memos from work, informal/formal letters. I'm reading French just a little as English. So we are doing this... _exercises_ based upon an Spanish translate. And there it was. Just like I used to be remember it: fabrics that suddenly becomes a living creature embracing Emma B. nee Rouault, feelings that forms heavy lakes falling upon her, light that is light and sound and it taste like aluminum. Sorry to inform: is not a novel about couples, not even about a couple, not even about Emma. It's all about how you can tell a thing, whatever thing, not thinking about it as static dead thing but a living, fiery, not a few times menacing, whatever.
This. Who kill by capitalism will be killed by capitalism. What's that noise (tik tok reference) about that "creating and Ethical A.I." and I'm a God you not you trust. Nonsense. ¿What that noise?
I am lawyer and a writer (mostly unedited), a math fanboy --and sort a script-kiddie. English' not my native language. There's no other site in the entire net most interesting than that. True is that 80% of the posts I can't follow: there are too technical for me. But the rest that I can read, change, in no time, the way I seeing things and doing things. You guys are amazing, even for a total newbie uneducated reader. Like if you have a link in your front-page it's mostly the true for me.
I also enjoy reading about topics I can barely understand. But now in the office we are trying to use git for working together, not only our overleaf's local installing.
Tell me to lurk moar. I am considering myself the last of your brother. And even if I can't improve my tech knowledge, and, then, with the time my 80% becomes 90%... I'm very happy for this site to exists.
Like many other Borges' stories they reach a point where it is no other thing but a different way to tell about the world. The Lottery finds that deliver money it's not enough, it will deliver joy, pain, enlightenment, suffering, tragedy and hapiness too. So one bought a ticket not just to gain some gold, but to play.
I read in some Nabokov's interview back in my time. At some point the questions goes like how do you would rank yourself among other contemporaries writers or something along that. He responds that it should be a typography sign, like a lying closing parenthesis, and then he would trace it as the proper answer. For me, it was the first time I hear about a emoji.
