Got a box of Cream of Wheat recently. Went to make a portion this morning for breakfast, opened the box and found it full of living weevils/worms. Pretty fat ones too!
_Would you still cook it if you removed the weevils?_

I couldn't, threw the entire box out.

**This should give everyone in the America's some pause.**

`WILL HISTORY REPEAT? If Biden's slip-ups (t.me/IntelRepublic/1503) and inflation (t.me/IntelRepublic/424) weren't bad enough, Washington Post's Marc Fisher writes that USA stands "as CLOSE to EDGE of civil WAR as it has since 1861", adding that an internal conflict is either IMMINENT or NECESSARY, an idea that is accepted by academics and politicians, pointing that threats against government institutions, groups training for combat against federal agents suggest a civil war may be in the nation's future. `

Europe will be a safer place, a more Peaceful place, when we get rid of #NATO and when our citizens manage to get rid of the politicians who are more than happy to support the Arms Industry...

Seems like a coup is in progress in Iraq now.

Hopefully with the folks from the IAEA staying at the plant, it will discourage the Ukrainian Army from targeting it with artillery! Stupid idiots.

The mission headed by the Agency Director General Rafael Grossi is on its way to the Zaporizhzhya NPP - Mikhail Ulyanov, Permanent Representative of Russia to International Organizations in Vienna.

The Director General of the IAEA intends to leave several people at the Zaporozhye NPP on a permanent basis, Ulyanov added.

He also said that the mission leaving for the station includes about a dozen employees of the IAEA secretariat involved in nuclear security, with a large team of UN logistics and security staff.

Think I'll keep this one in the garage for Sunday's. 😆 Isn't she beautiful?!

Russian Airborne Troops assault groups have liberated in Nikolaev Region from the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

Enemy resistance was fierce, but thanks to the coordinated actions of assault groups and the courage and bravery of our paratroopers, the settlement was liberated in the shortest possible time.

A lexicon module I wrote in Ruby that goes into rather excessive detail at defining every possible form of pronoun. Who knew there was so much complexity in pronounds.

I released nvmutil 20220828 today. It's in a good state now, and I'm happy to submit it to coreboot.

I've submitted nvmutil to coreboot, renaming it to nvmtool in the version submitted (to avoid future confusion, in case of code divergence).

Patch here:

maybe theres someone versed in history and linguistics here:

is anyone aware of research to reconstruct/validate mythology using neighboring mythologies by representing them as ontologies like "persephone is the daughter of zeus and demeter" and searching for similar logical patterns?

to give an example, the similarity of some of the norse gods and the roman and greek gods is accepted. i wonder if there might be other hidden similarities to be found by comparing those things systematically. the _concepts_ these mythological systems had might be much more old than either of those specific myths. i'd venture that at least for the larger language families there should be similarities and basic concepts to view the world. would be pretty interesting to search for those concepts, not only discovering them by accident.

i have the feeling this is a rather low hanging fruit aside the leg work of doing the transfer of the source texts into a logical system. this must already have been done by someone :)
