A study suggests that in Semitic languages like Arabic, words are mentally stored as separate units of "roots" and "templates" rather than as whole words.

Distinct patterns of speech errors, language games, and historical changes in Semitic languages strongly support a morpheme-based theory of morphology where consonantal roots and vocalic templates are fundamental and independent units in the mental lexicon.

«Συνεχίζουμε ακόμα να εργαζόμαστε στο νοσοκομείο, και τα τανκς βρίσκονται μόλις λίγα μέτρα μακριά μας. Τώρα είμαστε πιο κοντά στον θάνατο παρά στη ζωή.

Οι στρατιώτες δεν δείχνουν έλεος—ούτε σε ένα παιδί, ούτε σε έναν ηλικιωμένο, ούτε σε έναν γιατρό, ούτε σε μια νοσοκόμα. Μένουμε εδώ γιατί είμαστε άνθρωποι και γιατί η αποστολή μας είναι μια ανθρωπιστική αποστολή.

Αν αυτά τα κοράκια αρπάξουν τις ψυχές μας… μην μας ξεχάσετε, και μην μας υποβιβάσετε σε αριθμούς. Αγαπάμε τη ζωή και έχουμε όνειρα όπως κι εσείς. Εχουμε παιδιά και συντρόφους που αγαπάμε. Αλλά το να είσαι πραγματικά άνθρωπος σημαίνει να μην εγκαταλείπεις ποτέ εκείνους που χρειάζονται την ανθρωπιά σου.

Πείτε στον κόσμο για εμάς. Πείτε τους ότι ήμασταν πιο ανθρώπινοι από εκείνους που απλώς ισχυρίζονταν ότι είναι. Πείτε τους ότι διαλέξαμε το θάνατο αντί να εγκαταλείψουμε την ευγενή αποστολή μας.

Μην πείτε απλώς ότι ήμασταν ήρωες—πείτε ότι καταλάβαμε τι σημαίνει στ’ αλήθεια να είσαι άνθρωπος. Και συγχωρήστε μας. Δεν είμαστε αριθμοί».

Sex Fox Friday
The fox knows what she has, and she knows just how to use it. If one were to fear the tube fox they would have little awareness of how she controls the relationship. A few days of frequent visits and that fear will vanish. A few weeks of visits, then a gap of not visiting and she will be missed. At that point it's over, the fox will come back and have her romance.

Beware the scheming and manipulative fairy. Her reserved attitude makes her seem more innocent but it's all an act. She purposefully refuses leadership as to not draw suspicion.

re: computer rant

@verita84 i have personally dealt with trying to do such a thing with some music software on void / alpine.

such issues i've run in to are things like
- we don't like how that project wrote their build scripts, please rewrite upstreams build scripts to appease us
- someone else is already working on that package (hasn't updated in months, no updates on approvals or rejection)
- we don't like the way you marked that CPU as a non-supported target, please change it to a case statement. update: unrelated maintainer doesn't like that you approved the case statement, please rewrite the script to use an if/else*
- no sorry that requires .NET which we will never approve because we don't approve of the bootstrap requirements of the C# compiler

* this is the issue where i started referring to all upstreams as bikeshedders because their change requirements were literally pointless

@+bonifartius 𒂼𒄄 Why? Because developers are lazy and don't want to have to compile and link for each platform just to save you convenience and memory. So flatpaks and snaps get around this by bundling libraries, then what version the system has on it natively becomes irrelevant, but this approach wastes your disk space, creates additional dependencies that can break your system, and defeats the purpose of linux shared libraries wasting memory.

I am mildly amused by this. So Taito made Touhou Spell Bubble, good game, problem being that it is only Touhou content. It probably didn't sell as well as an all rounder rhythm game. So now they're just outright copying and pasting the format they used for Spell Bubble and making it a new IP.
And I do mean copy and paste. The UI is practically the exact same as Spell Bubble's but without the Touhou paint. :cirno_laugh:

The greek disarmament.
The treaty specified the disarmament of EAM-ELAS, which, according to records, surrendered within the next few days or weeks 100 artillery pieces of various types, 81 heavy mortars, 138 light mortars, 419 machine guns, 1,412 submachine guns, 713 automatic rifles, 48,973 rifles and pistols, 57 antitank rifles and 17 radios.

[2]Ultimately, the promises enshrined in the Treaty of Varkiza were not upheld. The main problem was that the treaty gave amnesty only for political reasons, but many of the actions by communists during the Dekemvriana were viewed as nonpolitical. After the signing of the treaty, there was widespread persecution of communists and former EAM members and supporters over the next two years.[4] This period, immediately prior to the outbreak of the Greek Civil War, was known as the White Terror.

Thinking about the Israeli attack on Iran recently and I can't shake the fact that no one is talking about the US losing not just one, but two of its most advanced stealth fighter jets, the F35 lightning.

This jet cost trillions to develop, billions to maintain, and was largely sold as our only choice for air superiority fighter to counter china.

And Iran sent two of them down in flames.

Looks like all of his 3d print designs are on github:
github.com/kachurovskiy/modula…

Lathes typically have a shitload of cast iron, not because they need to be that strong, but because they can't tolerate even a thousandth of an inch of flex. But concrete is very good at resisting flex and you can cast it in your garage.

A big challenge is the center line of the spindle needs to be aligned with the ways, very well. But I think it should be possible to lay them on epoxy and then align them before it hardens...

I'm starting to think concrete is a completely under-appreciated material.

I was thinking about building a vacuum/pressure chamber for drying and pressure-treating wood. I thought I'd need to get a large high strength steel tank, but in reality I could probably just pour it from concrete and only use metal hinges and gaskets at the door...

Hmm, I think that for vacuum operation, you need to make sure you vibrate out any possible air bubbles, very well, because bubbles might compromise the concrete when subjected to vacuum.

Also a long curing time is pretty much mandatory for something subjected to such harsh conditions.

Any off-gassing from the concrete shouldn't really matter because you're actively pumping air out of the container all of the time while the wood is boiling off moisture.

I think my main concern is porosity, and it might not be possible to do pressure and vacuum in the same chamber. Under vacuum, you can coat the outside with epoxy and it will suck in to the concrete and create a strong structure. Under pressure, you could try to do the same on the inside, but concrete tensile strength is not awesome, and any epoxy painted on the outside is going to want to delaminate if the concrete is porous and being pressurized from inside...

But more globally speaking, I think concrete should be regarded as a resin with especially good compressive strength.

@Java @EvolLove
I've had this idea for working with 3D prints, but it could also work well with concrete in that you line the exterior with aluminum foil or the interior, and that is very gas impermeable.

You could also, by putting bars around the edge and then wrapping wire and tightening it, reinforce the structure and create a compression on the exterior structure for a pressure tank. Like a grain silo.

Think about one of these things making the rebar for small intricate concrete castings made in 3d printed molds...

There's no die, it's just CNC programming, and the cost for a company with one of those machines to make you a custom object out of wire is whatever it takes them to validate your CNC program and put it into their machine.

in reply to Soul Dessin

I'm thinking you form the wire and print a multi-part mold, then you assemble the mold with the wire in it (part of the mold needs to hold the wire, that part the wire will not be covered by concrete, you just plan for it).

Then you caulk the gaps in the mold sections and apply vacuum to the top of the mold and open the bottom of the mold to a vat of concrete to suck it in.

Release vacuum, collapsing any bubbles inside of the mold, then wait for it to cure, disassemble the mold, and saw off the parts where concrete flowed in at the bottom and out at the top...
