What about PugJesus and that squid guy?

I was surprised to see no fortifications as native american villages much smaller in my region had fortfications. I've just read the Wikipedia article and it says fortifications have been found.

Its population was huge:

Thus the population are also far larger than before thought with conservative estimations at 12,000, a probable average of 29,000 inhabitants but with the possibility of 46,000 inhabitants.

The Cucuteni–Trypillia culture:

The 'mega-sites' of the culture, which have been claimed to be early forms of cities, were the largest settlements in Eurasia, and possibly the world, dating to the 5th millennium BC.

The population of the culture at its peak may have reached or exceeded one million people.

Something I found odd too was the lack of fields in the illustration, though maybe they just are outside the frame. Of course, the Cucuteni-Trypillia people grew plants:

They cultivated club wheat, oats, rye, proso millet, barley and hemp, which were probably ground and baked as unleavened bread in clay ovens or on heated stones in the home. They also grew peas and beans, apricotcherry plum and wine grapes – though there is no solid evidence that they actually made wine.

I had never thought about this!

Seriously, I don't preach veganism to anyone around me. When people ask why I'm vegan, I answer, straight to the point. If they ask more questions, I just continue answering their questions.

I know at least of 2 people I have known personally who became vegan later. I never preached to them.

I'm not aware of anyone who switched to Linux or an ergonomic keyboard layout though, so results may vary.

This cracks me up, why is there a bunch separated from the rest?

Yea I'm a northern neighbor of the US, and while we do have common cultural elements, it's my first time hearing of that meal.

Amazing, thanks for the thorough description!

Thanks! What is an Old Country Store?

I don't really understand where the very specific idea of kiwi farming comes from, but I can confirm old 4chan users are here. I'm one of them. I've never been misogynistic or racist however. I was more into the freedom, randomness, otaku culture and activism for civic liberties. There's a preconceived notion of what a 4chan user is, and I understand where it comes from.

Quebec too, woo! Well, not really because it's not a country, but we're there.

Exceptionally heroic characters who do not have a royal title can also be included.

 

I have a stomach flu. My government recommends me to eat as normally as possible.

I've generally had no appetite.

And the idea of eating foods, even bland, often makes me feel nauseous.

And when I do eat, I often want to puke what I ate.

Why does my body do this if I'm supposed to fill my guts with food?

 

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

Faites profiter à votre famille de nos paraugeoires et jeux d'eau à Montréal en ce temps de canicule!

 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
