For real, my nephew is already giving me shit because I don't know how to use the lever they got me for last solstice, now they come out with this shit. I dunno how anyone keeps up with all this gadgetry. Why do we need levers? What's wrong with just getting the whole tribe together to brute force our big rocks into place like we've always done?
Right? I was on board with the whole pressing reeds into clay tablets to calculate taxes thing, but now they're expanding it to all words. How are people going to remember anything anymore?
I visited the Louvre recently and saw one of these fertility idols up close. They really should put some kind of warning because I immediately felt the need to unzip my pants and start furiously masturbating. It would have been embarrassing except every other museumgoer in the room was doing it as well.
i had a similar experience at the Greek Vase Painting exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. if it hadn't been for the museum docents equipped with mops and buckets, it would have been a virtual slip n' slide in and out of there.
My foreman in the quarry is a wheel fanatic. Now we are expected to mine, cut, and load into cart at twice the pace, because the 'haulers' (ain't hauling anything if you ask me) would be sitting on their asses otherwise.
Gods mercy make me foreman for a day and see what I'll do to stupid wheel.
As someone with "Eh, it's alright" eyesight, I looooove dark mode interfaces. I can keep stronger contrast from increased brightness without getting melanoma on my face. In a room I'm around 70% brightness and it's still nice and dim.
A bulb is like a thin lamp that uses legal magic. A parchment is like a thin tablet that you can also use for wiping poo off your bum, depending on the author. They probably don't have these below the Cloud District.
Of course it's mid leap making it look distorted and strange. To compare, look at a standard toad resting and then watch as it contorts upon leaping into something near indistinguishable from its resting form.
202 If any one strike the body of a man higher in rank than he, he shall receive sixty blows with an ox-whip in public.
It's clear that your elder were in higher rank, but you just killed the scammer, while sixty blows with an ox-whip would be the correct punishment for his attack.
About the traveler's lies, Hammurabi 107 can be related, while it's not the exact case, it shows what repercussion a cheater like him should get:
107 If the merchant cheat the agent, in that as the latter has returned to him all that had been given him, but the merchant denies the receipt of what had been returned to him, then shall this agent convict the merchant before God and the judges, and if he still deny receiving what the agent had given him shall pay six times the sum to the agent.
So killing him was too much, you just had to beat him a bit and took most of his belongings. Your deeds were really uncivilized and I hope your gods will punish you with at least 2 years of drought.
Oh dear, you....might need to beg your gods forgiveness.
I've heard of other villages merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze and wooden implements like shields. A marauder we captured last year called it "eyerown", but I didn't understand his language so please confirm with your elders.
Our village has such a traveling merchant we've traded with in the past who was able to get us a small amount of tin. We've only used it to produce elaborate bowls and chalices for our leader, at his request. He likes the way they shine in the sunlight.
merging this tin with their copper to create sturdy tools and weapons, even ones capable of breaking bronze
You may be slightly mistaken. I believe that merging tin with copper is the very way to create this "bronze" you speak of.
Our village also obtained some "eye-yearn" (similar to your eye-rown?) from a travelling merchant last year. We have been attempting to replicate it by merging varies quantities of copper, tin, and silver, but without success. We are beginning to suspect that it cannot be created through merging, and must be extracted with a process or ore unknown to us.
It's a red flag to me when people close all their apps. It shows that they have unlimited data and a huge battery. It uses less battery and data to keep them open. Rebooting an app every time consumes more data and CPU cycles.
