"Often, of course, malaria exacted a toll on both sides. It pushed English Protestants into Catholic Ireland, setting the stage for the Troubles centuries later. But Oliver Cromwell, the Englishman who conquered Ireland, died of malaria, in 1658, rather than take quinine, the only known treatment, because he associated it with its Catholic discoverers, making him a victim of both parasitosis and sectarianism."

New project. Leviathan Dreadnought. For Horus Heresy, #wh30k
Next to Contemptor Dreadnought for scale. This thing is a bit chunky.

The joint GNU Health / Orthanc conference started three hours ago, and already so many fruitful, insightful interactions!
Thanks so much to all of you who demonstrate, by your work and by your commitment, that source code can have a fundamental social impact. #UCLouvain
Ironically, I have logged more time on #twitter since Musk purchased it than I have in the entire year previous. The #schadenfreude is just too good!

Fruit flies apparently get down when being rejected by potential mates and [drink four times more alcohol](https://www.science.org/doi/abs/10.1126/science.1215932) than successful ones.

I was going to sub to your substack, but not when you write this kind of drivel, and you call yourself an investigative reporter?! Geesus, not a very good one at that I must say if you're regurgitating the Atlantic Councils talking points. You should be ashamed, because this is just trash and lazy reportage.

He also mentions how Polish troops have been fighting in Ukraine for some time. Others have confirmed this to be true.

In Toronto during this morning's rush hour, a Swan decided to cross a busy city street. At least it used the crosswalk! Good Swan. :-)

@justinling which thinktanks? You know most are funded by NATO and/or the US government, so they'll hardly be unbiased. BTW I've been following since it began and you're not on solid ground. Be careful or your reputation will be ruined. Because, it's the West/NATO that is running out of weapons and ammo. Russia has the industrial capacity to fire more rounds in a day than the USA did in the entire Iraqi war. Western "experts" have been saying since April, that Russia was gong to run out of everything "soon". LMAO!
@obi Well at least you didn't lose. ;-) Wasn't the highest point around $65K? It's still a ponzi scheme IMO. @johnnylogic
Well if I had any crypto$ I'd keep it in my own wallet and would never trust one of these cowboys with it. Most in this space have no idea how to run a business much less one acting like a bank. Fucken crazy and people are too greedy in a capitalist society.
@johnnylogic
Sounds like a classic sociopath.
@obi
@justinling How did you come to this conclusion?
