The neat thing about being at the equator is that temperature is more to do with your altitude than any other factor. If you want to be hotter in Colombia you just go downhill. Higher up if you want to get colder. Bogota is closer to 15° all year since it's a few hundred meters higher up in the mountains than Medellin. Cartagena is closer to 29° since it's right on the coast at sea level.

Skants are unisex. The only difference was men tended to wear shorter boots with the skant than women did.

Colonel Grat is actually a temporal agent! I knew he was going in too hard against the Suliban.

Dump their kid on him permanently and casually, maybe.

Weird way of saying she died. Lol

This is sad. It sucks. You want to say that violence isn’t the answer, but it’s easy to see how people hit their breaking point. Schutzstaffel agents kidnapping people is horrible. Oświęcim is poor. The people who work in that transient worker camp are likely just happy to have a job with benefits that feeds their families.

It actually has two. The beetle and also a heart on a pendant necklace. I don't think the scarab identifies it as Bastet though. Here is all they say on the scarab:

Quite detailed, the insect has six legs, two mandibles, a narrow abdomen and wings that are folded over its back. Scarab beetles, which are very common in Egyptian iconography, are the symbol of the rising sun. They favour life and fertility and embody rebirth.

Reading the PDF on their site it just says "This exceptional bronze cat represents the renowned Egyptian goddess Bastet" and then shows other statues in other collections that are virtually identical which are Bastet.

Barbossa should have been a starfleet captain

You can never completely rule out some J Robert Otterheimer being out there thinking up new technologies.

Oh man. You guys are missing out. Petting random dogs while waiting for the queue to decrease is the best.

 
 

This happened twice in the 80s in Africa killing around 1700 people.

 

They could do the first season as the year with 4 emperors. The second season as the year with 5 emperors. And season 3 the year with 6 emperors.

Can you imagine how epic those would be?

 

Mon Mothma was forever changed by her time in the resistance as evidenced by this 100% accurate holophoto I was able to acquire from the ISB.

 
 

I was watching a documentary about the Wadi Derna dam and thought it was funny that the allamaraine aliens are also called Wadi.

 
 

Something in the article in this post (https://lemmy.world/post/29839640) is crashing the in app browser. I’ve cleared the cache and updated the app to make sure it wasn’t that. The article renders fine in the reader but if you let it render natively something loads after a few seconds and the app crashes back to initial launch.

I’m on the latest iOS on iPad and the latest Voyager.
