#Iwatched The Mummy (1999) for the first time. As expected it was a fun classic adventure time. The film obviously owes a lot to the Indiana Jones series but more interestingly it is elevated by the performance of the charming and witty #RachelWeisz. I'll have to check out other projects of hers.

I hope this is true, but people who truly died alone don't have anyone to report on the circumstances of their death and hence never made it into this study. So this seems biased.

angry or not, you seem to think that these photographers owed you something for your welcome, which you couple with trying to enforce some made up community standards. meanwhile a defining feature of the fediverse is actually that instances can and do have different cultures and rules. I agree that altText would be great. but not actively making people want to turn around and leave should have a higher priority imo.

there is a wide spread sentiment of purity that an artist's vision should never be changed because it will always be diminished. meanwhile most books and films we hold for dear were created with the input of editors, publishers, producers and other professionals who identified problems early and understood the parts that work, creating that polished gem we ascribe to one person and their singular vision. a great work of art is still work and it's usually better done by a team.

I mean, good on you for hosting your own website. But it's not likely that it will stay around for more than a few years. Even if your org does, your website is a Wordpress-blog which are prone to security problems and difficult to maintain longterm. If longterm availability really is a priority for you, I'd suggest handcoded plain HTML. I understand that it's always a compromise, but consider it.

I've been thinking about this. The way she explained it, it sounded very modern and empowered. Or maybe it just seemed that way, because she's significantly younger, uses the cool new lingo etc. I'm definitely on team "split the bill". But I also thought: well, she knows her worth. But then isn't this just like our grandparents dated?

I met a friend the day before, a beautiful young lady who recently became single. Over a few drinks she explained some of her dating etiquette: For example she expects the guy to pay for the evening, because she figures that she's paying a lot more to get herself ready than he does. She specifically mentioned the cost of botox. And also the gender pay gap. "What if he earns less than you do?" She laughed and said "Well that's out of the question." :lulu: #klife

That photo on the left isn't Caroline Mikkelsen though. It shows Edith "Jackie" Ronne - the first US woman in Antarctica.

Yes. The huge diversity and great taste of most European recipes was born out of necessity to make do with little resources. People had to get creative. That's why American food tastes so bland and makes you obese, because it was born out of an abdundance of resources.

I personally lived through the follow-up German totalitarian regime until I was 12. In my experience AMBITIOUS people were a much bigger problem for resisters than unpolitical nice people. Then again I was only 12 years old, so what do I know. Well I'm closer than Naomi Shulman and you anyway, who are using a questionable secondhand story to frame American politics. But Trump isn't Hitler, Republicans aren't Nazis and you're not in the Nazi-resistance.

It may be notable that Naomi Shulman's source for that are the stories her mother told her who was born in Munich in 1934 according to Shulman. So by the end of the German Nazi regime her mother was 11 years old - and if other kids of that age are any indication - probably not the best judge of people's character in a totalitarian regime.
