  2. Banned for forgetting KFC. Wait... Oh...
  3. Much worse. The shamans at least are driven by mushrooms. The qhysicists do on their own. Pure oxygen and TV preachers do their deeds. The Soviet cosmonauts were feeling communist enthusiasm instead. They are waiting... Almost any Soviet/Russian family had its kitchen-garden, some were feeding from it in 1990s. Useful info about local agriculture is in magazines, and basically occupies from zero to a copybook (to be a local professor of agronomy). Even when I hate doing agriculture myself (except in Minecraft), I have visual memories about how it was organized at several places of our family. Not a rocket science. It's not that dramatic. Nobody even cares, where it came from. Martians, schmartians, or Etrurian gods. So, high uncertainty is multiplied by zero significance, giving zero importance. The best illustration are the pathetic futile attempts of all religions of driving the peasants from rural magic. The peasant needs harvest, and it's the only what's important. Those two guys, competing to Santos-Dumont. Or were they Montgolfier? No, unlikely, the Montgolians drive horses, while the Wright bros were making balloons... Anyway, did you check the oil in your Cessna? It's more important. As a Soviet pupil, I was vaguely aware who are the Wright brothers, just some early American aviators. While as everyone knows, the first airplane was built by Mozhaysky, had strange rectangular wing(s) and was powered by steam engine. Santos-Dumont was some French aviator from the postage stamp. Otto Lilienthal and others were familiar from the magazine article with pictures. I even don't know the name of the guy, who was assembling this notebook fifteen years ago in probably China. 300 years ago even reading was a privilige of minority. The progress is iterative process, it's normal. The entire mathematics is based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Archimedean_property, and then is step by step developed into its horrible magnificence. It takes four best years of life in the university. The entire theoretical physics is derived from the Hamiltonian mechanics, pure math. Only the experimental physics is volatile to some extent. And various paraphysics are, like chemistry. And the parachemistry, called biology. So, the science building just looks like a circus, but is a concrete barrack inside.
  4. Vsvally the vvords yov say aren't gvilty in their vsvage, ivst vsing i for both i and j is cheating, too. P.S. These Greek "y" are so annoying. Vvvi not ivst vse "vi" instead?
  5. No, it's just a grasshopper. They live here. Bartender! Janitor! Are you two actually "Bart" and "Jane", like it's written on you?
  6. Banned for rejecting the commerce.
  7. Calling 911 being unspeakably drunk.
  8. Ten to twenty HDD of them, downloaded by occasion, but most of them probably never having chance to be watched.
  9. We were making similar out of a wooden plank, a rubber thread, a clothespin, and a piece of aluminium wire. Nice to see the old traditions being continiued.
  10. I would doubt that this kind of protectors is typical for the setting, and at the same time they look very similar to some other figures from another camp. Actually, I believe that the "Gothic architecture" was derived from this kind of architecture. Just on growing in size, it was ancesting the idea of both lateral support and the gargoyle-like figures, which were, for mysterious reasons, considered significant, as from the figured log tips they evolved into the separately made figures. , and thus the gargoyles look like something very... from pagan times not from the mom's pagans, but from the unpleasant real ones, something agressively barbaric, rather than protective. Also notice the difference between the rude and thus probably old gargoyles above and the fan-service toy gargoyles from XIX century and later, added to match Victor Hugo's descriptions. The latter ones are just ugly-looking garden dwarves, while the former are functional, or at least simulating the functionality of a rain gutter. Also, they look similar to the sheela na gig, and are looking like both are to pour some liquid onto the humans below. Basically rain, but if have a cistern on top, then any mysterious goo. Just some of them are functional, while others are decorative (or ceremonial). In any case, they look like something from dark fantasy, ancested from pagan reasons and ideas, and for unclear reason not destroyed through the whole epoch of inquisition, crusades, knight orders, and so on. Both don't look like a strange local tradition, but are unified across the Europe (and the sheelas look quite thematically for some Indian temples). The real medieval was much more grimdark noir time and place, much closer to Disciples rather than to Heroes of Might and Magic or Age of Empires. *** P.S. Had read a couple of short stories by Giordano Bruno. A very specific way of thinking...
  11. Banned because I live in a relatively radioactive place, so the Nuka Cola is just flowing from the tap.
  12. Banned because how could I recognize the speech, when it wasn't quoted in Fallout games.
  13. Being Gnaevs Pompeivs Magnvs and using v instead of u is cheating.
  14. Wiki describes, but unlikely to post the images. Definitely not a kind of official Christian discourse. In the kinda totally Christian medieval Europe. I could understand the story that gargoyles are kinda visualisation of wordly demons sitting outside of the church. But this doesn't look like.
  15. Floor 4940: 5x5 Kerbals, self-counting along and across.
  16. Calling 911 by phone when you belong to Psi-Corp.
  17. No Cold, our personnel carries Schmidt-Wessen. Bartender! Is this place Zocalo?
  18. Banned for considering the banning hard.
