Yes but only because of a guy in 1910s who looked into it
The identity of Henry Symeonis was only (re-)discovered in 1912 by the then Keeper of the University Archives, Reginald Lane Poole. In an article for the English Historical Review, he looked at the curious statute and tried to get to the bottom of the Henry Symeonis mystery.
TIL people don’t know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my “daily bread” when I was little, never realized that this isn’t common
There’re still older Civilizations I haven’t played so I’m not worried
I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some “creative” math to get that number
His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion
Good catch, I should read the sources better and don’t trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)
I suppose Voyager but I still use Sync. And don’t call me Newbie
rethinks ability to compete with netflix
Yeah, I canceled my subscription like 2 years ago, loosing my prize of 30% discount in the process (it was a thing since I had HBO GO). I don’t know if it’s a regional thing but there was just nothing new or interresting there. I remember just constant superheroes and Harry Potter. Went for Netflix and never looked back. So, good luck I guess, hopefully they change
Don’t forget the 2012, possibly the biggest threat to humanity in our lifet … I can’t finish this with a straight face :D
Now calm down, Ned-dily-diddly-diddly-diddly… they did their best, shoddily-iddly-iddly-diddly… gotta be nice, hostily-iddly-diddly-iddly…Ah hell diddly-ding-dong-crap! Can’t you morons do anything right?
How can I contribute? Just making a pull request?
Thanks! Cross-posted there
Reminds me this gem from 8 years ago that aged like a fine wine
Don’t want to be a buzzkiller but what other war was started by attacking Poland besides WW2?
I see the next BF will be developed by Dice and 4 other teams? Well I wish them luck on good cooperation but that sounds really scary team-wise.
But who knows, maybe it’ll help. Because Dice is … ok well I’m old so I don’t know if this is still true but I remember them as one of those studios that just keeps fucking things up. Bugs on bugs. Them and Creative Asembly (Total War). But as I said, I’m old, not sure how things look now
Bonus rant: But boy, I remember one bug they introduced in BF3 with one patch. The bug was that the under-barrel shotgun attachement didn’t have its own damage, but took the damage from main weapon i.e. 12 pellets x 25 HP = 300 HP. I mean, shit happens but how much of a mess there’s in the code that this happens? I’d genuinely love to see that code. And! And! That testers don’t catch it during testing! How? That it flows through all the stages up to the production. Do you even have some tests? Is there a QA team? And I know I’m not crazy because as a follow up, the EA tried to step in to put things in order. Rant over
Subjective answer but if I were in your situation: me and King going alone? No. If I don’t like the person, then I don’t like the person, I’m sorry. Social gatherings are fine and I’d do my best. But going somewhere for hours with a person I don’t like sounds like a nightmare.
There are a lot of favors I’d do for my kids but there’s a limit and for me as an introvert this is the limit
I love how UK has so many of these weird traditions that just went too far and now everyone just feels bad to stop it
I guess I went full circle since I returned back to classic ones. I used electric one for years but suddenly I started to feel with my tongue that it didn’t do good job. Changing the head didn’t help. My dentist was also surprised but she suggested to try to use also classic one when I finish with electric. And voila, it really did the job. To this day I’m not sure what happened …
I never thought I’d witness the release of 3.0 in my lifetime
I’m from the 90s and can confirm this is true
