A bit of a follow up to this; after a bit of thought, I am considering reaching out to Weird Gloop. I do not feel I am able to give The Infosphere the care that it deserves. And with Futurama back on Hulu, we are naturally seeing an uptic

I was approached about a decade ago to combine The Infosphere with then Wikia's Futurama wiki. I asked it was possible to do a no-ads version of the wiki, and while initially they seemed like that might be possible, they eventually sa

A good way to address this is to ask "why did the Roman Empire not have an industrial revolution?" Bret Devereaux already did a great job on this[0], but the short-ish answer goes like this: Britain had basically been laid barren

"Power" technically means more than mere electricity (or electric power). In the UK, the modern steam engine can trace its origins back to either 1764 or 1712 (depending on how you count). Even in the one in 1712 served to help

Even if we'd argue that the Republic was an empire before it was the Empire (which we probably should for other reasons), Rome probably at the earliest became an empire in the 300s BCE (and that is probably stretching it), and probably

I use irssi in a screen with a Discord plugin to Bitlbee, so I can connect to Discord using IRC. I'm sure WeeChat or tmux are fine, but I am not reconfiguring my setup again. It's been working for over a decade now.

Just for the record, the name "Lego" comes from »leg godt« which means to play well. The earliest toys from Lego were not the iconic bricks we know today.

I am mistaken. Théoden does not plead with Grima in the book. But Théoden is less eager to throw out Grima, when the truth has been revealed at Edoras compared to the movie. I must have confused the scene in the films for happening in th
