И на сотни осколков дробится Море летнего дня. * * * Как нежны молодые листья Даже здесь, на сорной траве У позабытого дома. * * * Чтоб холодный вихрь Ароматом напоить, опять раскрылись Поздней осенью цветы. * * * Уж осени конец, Но верит в будущие дни Зеленый мандарин. * * * Далекий зов кукушки Напрасно прозвучал. Ведь в наши дни Перевелись поэты. * * * Стократ благородней тот, Кто не скажет при блеске молнии: "Вот она наша жизнь!"

      I think this is very important to comprehend the scale of how important is the fog in barovia

      A reasonable sounding version of why not to use some of the commonly suggested methods for rejuvenating platens.

      If you wish to attempt to lower the Shore A hardness of your typewriter platen temporarily, I would recommend applying a more compatible mixture of xylene (non-polar solvent), Methyl Alcohol and Methyl salicylate (wintergreen oil) in a 3 to 1 to 1 ratio such as is found in the product called Rubber Renue from M.G. Chemicals. All the necessary chemicals are available on Amazon, and you can make it by the litre for pennies compared to the commercial product.

      Shield, Buckler צִנָּה How is that a fish hook? AI: What the word probably means Most scholars think צִנּוֹת refers to: - barbed implements, - pronged tools, - or hook-like instruments used for dragging. That’s why translations choose “hooks” or “fishhooks” — it fits the imagery of capture and the historical method of leading prisoners. 🌿 The picture Amos is painting Amos is saying: “You think you’re secure, but you’ll be dragged away like fish on hooks.”

      It’s vivid, humiliating imagery — exactly the kind prophets use to shock their audience awake.

    1. Kuran apaçıksa neden tefsir var? Kuran apaçıksa neden herkes aynı şekilde bir din anlayışına sahip değil? Oysa “Böylece biz Kur’an’ı apaçık âyetler hâlinde indirdik. Hac 16” ayetine göre Kuran apaçıktır ve anlaşılır deliller sunar.

    1. Une reformulation de la banalité du mal: la pensée est dialogue , y compris à l'intérieur de soi, comme confrontation, comme deux en un. Quand elle s'éteint, il n'y a plus que l'obéissance et la banalité.

      C'est ça les intellectuels qui virent la montée du nazisme et ... Eichmann.

      Est ce la même chose aujourd'hui, où les intellectuels ont la responsabilité de la montée des populismes ?

    1. A: The Calibre dedrm plugin only removes the Readium 1.0 drm. As for Readium 2.5, it employs the tougher drm, it cannot be handled with Calibre drdrm plugin.

      Calibre DeDRM plugin can only work w Readium 1 lcpl, current version 2.5 needs diff path.

    2. The DeDRM plugin i

      Calibre DeDRM plugin, but an older version needed to remove Lcpl drm, you do need the passphrase still. For reading in Calibre no need to de-drm but needed if you want to move it to a device that does not support lcp.

    3. All you need to open (or decrypt) LCP eBooks is the account passphrase given to you by the eBook provider - the very same passphrase you'd have to enter into your eBook reader device (once) to read LCP-encrypted books. Sometime, the passphrase can be the passwords.

      .lcpl LCP drmd books have a passphrase. Typically this will be the one for your account from the platform where you bought the book

      The novels persistence in the cultural zeitgeist reflect contemporary anxieties about women’s rights, authoritarianism, and civic freedoms

    2. I’ve always been somebody who has never believed it can’t happen here. It can happen anywhere, given the circumstances

      The Handmaids Tale serving as a warning rather than a prediction

    3. These kinds of regimes don’t last, partly because they become unsustainable. This particular one seems quite chaotic

      We are told in the historical note that Gilead collapses by 2195, showing a kind of guarded optimism and confidence in the people's desire for freedom and that the ideals of the United States remain a source of hope

    1. Email is a wonderful thing for people whose role in life is to be on top of things. But not for me; my role is to be on the bottom of things. What I do takes long hours of studying and uninterruptible concentration. I try to learn certain areas of computer science exhaustively; then I try to digest that knowledge into a form that is accessible to people who don't have time for such study.

Dark stories can evoke dark passions in audiences. Call to as event organisers to not just platform stories bc they're compelling, but determine if you want to provide a megaphone. Duh. Does lead me to think, e.g. like during epsiplatform, and IndieWeb meetups, can you put some of that down upfront (rather than 'feel' it) as a charter internally or externally (if it doesn't turn the charter into the story). Platforming or not, is choosing to pay attention and [[Aandacht is een morele keuze 20201217074345]]
