  1. As much as I'm interested in theological archeology, I've yet to figure out the background for the Aboriginals (native Australians) creation myth, The Dream Time. It may have been covered in basic school, but I didn't go to school in Australia and a disproportional number (one third? I need to check sources) of schools is run by the Catholic Church and is more likely to teach kids, that we weren't here 6000+ years ago Sorry guys, completely unrelated to Florida, just my absent and sometimes too abstract mind going off on a tangent
  2. Frieren... as beautiful as ever. It gives me this hard to explain warm and fuzzy feeling of seeing old friends, that I haven't seen in a long time. The little party is getting itself in motion again, heading towards the northern plateau. Nothing like seeing a familiar face again First challenge is being trapped in a cave of magic nullifying crystals, reducing the two mages to "ordinary girls" (followed by some hilarious conversation as Frieren has never forgiven Stark for calling her an old hag when they first met) This time however, he gets to to carry the party. Literally (screenshot is from the "landing" after the ground collapses beneath them and they plummet down into a large cave system) There is the mandatory fan service (nothing as hot and steamy as Ubels armpits this time) ...and of course flashbacks to Frierens travel with Himmel, Eisen and Heiter. Nothing says "we are a party!" like running away together from a black dragon Frieren... Frieren never changes (she is a messy sleeper)
  3. This. the US already had free hands to expand their military presence on Greenland. Two problems with that... one, it doesn't distract from the still unreleased Epstein files and two, doesn't make Mango Mussolini look like a proper conqueror.
  4. I don't know if it's the ultimate flex, but its a good candidate. Floor Jansen singing the Dutch version of The Yellow Pages
  5. Soon... Yes, I know its only 10 episodes long. Yes, I know its a different director. Yes, I feel greedy for more. But if it's even remotely comparable to season 1, I'll take what I can get and enjoy it. It most likely ends just before the golden land arch ("El Dorado"). Crossing fingers and hoping that it picks up from there in later seasons then.
  6. I've lost some (a lot of( interest in the current WH40K setting, but every now and then, I still do a knee jerk reaction and listen or watch something.
  7. The Varangian Guard would like to have a serious conversation with you
  8. Not sure if if qualifies as "anime", but I thought this series was very fun to watch so far. It refuses to be embedded, so just a link to the channel. I'm currently up to episode 5 (they are relatively short, like less than 5 minutes each). Fun and adorable characters. https://www.youtube.com/@milkygalacticuniverse Edit: Sort of a prequel leading to the 12 episodes where the girls have to do community service on the Milky Subway Express Limited (and the only bloody video out there that didn't actively prevent embedding, even the official trailer 1 and 2 doesn't allow embedding ) Edit2: For once a series where I actually liked the English dub better than the original language
  9. Normally I don't read much stuff about global banking, but this one caught my eye because I always tell my dad off for not investing his money in something more solid, like gold (instead of as cash under pillow, not kidding, old people and their quirks, never trust a back etc. etc.) I wonder what @BruceVCs take would be on this (he knows way more about the workings of banks than I do). It's a 20 minute video and its of course the last 10 minutes that are the most interesting. The less obvious consequences of removing tonnes of gold from the US reserves.
  10. I'm sure I've posted it quite a few years ago, but I really did love the double dvd set they released, complete with a hollow tentacle to hang over your fireplace so great Chtulhu can bring you gifts Shameless plug for the source material https://www.hplhs.org/solstice.php
  11. Didn't see one, so I figured I would create one, just to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all you lovely saints, sinners, heretics, heathens, faithful, lost and found people out there. I haven't been active online much the last month and a half, because crunch time and projects going live at years end. Comes with the profession Hope you guys are going to enjoy some time off with family, friends, loved ones or favourite spider pet, whatever you fancy
  12. Looks like the kind of light setup you would use for surgery, not for a portrait photo (unless scanning the face for skin cancer symptoms or similar)
  13. Still looking for something to fill the gap between Dandadan season 2 ending and Frieren season 2 starting. Watched the first three episodes of Dusk beyond the end of the world. Not sure of the genre, but interesting so far. Gives me old Belgian comics vibes edit: I did enjoy secrets of the silent witch. Also obvious why it’s nickname is Bocchi the Witch
  14. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr4345k05z3o Royal Navy ships to be equipped laser batteries by 2027. Tests at the Hebrides show great efficiency at shooting down high speed drones
  15. because I'm a sucker for beautiful voices (all subjective of course)
  16. Maybe he will fall out of a second floor window near the Russian embassy?
  17. I wonder if you can pause Frieren anywhere and use it as a wallpaper. It sure is pretty
  18. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cy8vw62j3g9o Saw this last week. My first thought was, with friends like these, who needs Putin?
  19. The site I was trying to access was a Flux AI image generation service, but it is now accessible again
  20. How can you not love Bernie Sanders? ok, so I’m a bit biased. Still worth a listen
  21. I thought it was just me. Your browser is working, destination website is working, Cloudflare Copenhagen is not working
  22. I expected some bad cover version of an old b52’s song. Turns out it wasn’t
