The Roman 8 ball. If they had made that thing float inside a ball, that's exactly what the Romans would have had.


Here is a Roman D20 carved from crystal in the 3rd century AD. These were used, historians suspect for telling fortunes. However, no one can *prove* they weren't used for some kind role playing game. Which is what getting a fortune told with a die is kind of like anyways if you ask me.

DNS Perhaps


Okay, just read an individual's explanation of how DNS works. I do not know if they adlibbed the entire comment or if they are just a victim of poor information. Suffice it to say that I have read more reliable information posted by @Low Quality Facts . I am not sure why people feel it is necessary to make comments on a topic they obviously do not understand. I was going to explain to them how they were so misguided and give them a few links to useful resources to learn about DNS though I decided it would be a waste of time. So I wasted my time making this post instead 😉.



Precious little Doctor Who could be found with this, though. Precious little Doc Martin, too. I've found a Yankee substitute for the Brit-flavoured time traveler, and that's Alfred Hitchcock. I haven't heard a jail referred to as a stir in friggin' AGES, and I heard that in an Alfred Hitchcock Presents just last night.

To be fair, any radio pirate's choice of this band is also limited by its propagation issues during certain parts of the day. They'd do better with a Chicken Band transceiver further up in frequency. Sure there are daily propagation issues with that too, but it would still be an improvement.



Def describes the Grand Ole Paranoia Party. It's a disease.


Trumpism is the symptom of a less happy, less trusting society.

But we are far from powerless to change this.

There are several ways we can each make a difference
– starting with our own minds and local communities and finishing with helping others around the world.

What gives me hope is realizing we have the potential to understand what’s going wrong in our society and do our part to improve it.

The skipper lay with his nob in gore
Where the scullion’s axe his cheek had shore
And the scullion he was stabbed times four
And there he lay and the soggy skies
Dripped all day in up-staring eyes
At murk sunset and at foul sur-prise
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

Fifteen men on a dead man's Community Chest
Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum

How do you document real life
When real life is getting more
Like fiction each day
Headlines -- bread-lines
Blow my mind
And now this deadline
"Eviction -- or pay"

So use it as directed and expect to be respected

There's a pawn shop on a corner on Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Avenue
And I walk up and down 'neath the clock
By the pawnshop on a corner on Pittsburgh's Pennsylvania Avenue
But I ain't got a thing left to hock

Bob liked to play his poker
Pinochle whist and euchre
But shootin dice was his favorite game
He got throw’d in jail with nobody to go his bail
The judge done said that he refused to the fine

He’s in the jailhouse now
He’s in the jailhouse now
Well, I told him once or twice to
stop playin cards and shootin dice
He’s in the jailhouse now --can't pass GO cannot collect $200

It's #DoorsDay? Okay, Ima remove the I from DORIS as I instead cue up "People Are Strange" on the turntable.


For #DoorsDay: I've always admired this door in my neighborhood, for the splash of color.

I have no idea how to deal with your issues on this instance regarding posting locally; turns out that there are no posting options except locally. When I click on the global icon (the circular thingie), the posting editor goes away, and I was told that's just how all Friendica instances work; to change that, one would have to change the coding. The editor shows up when you click on the left-most grid-type icon.













#WingedWednesday #FediversalPictures #DaintySulfur

The teensy #butterfly that is the Dainty Sulfur breeds on a host plant that makes humans cringe and cuss: Spanish Needles. In defense of growing Spanish Needles in my yard, it's a great security plant to grow if you have a problem with prowlers. You've heard of paint tagging an offender, I'm sure--but the seeds of the Spanish Needles hold fast to clothing and are a bitch to remove, so it performs very much like tagging a perp. Not to mention how CUTE these li'l guys are! When they flock around a growth of Spanish Needles, the bunch of 'em looks like yellow glitter.



#WingedWednesday #CommonBuckeye #Bloomscrolling #FediversalPictures

A few years back, the #Common Buckeye had a huge baby boom over here. Not so much last year even though I have an ample supply of their host plant, Lanceleaf Plantain. They do host on other plants besides that, though. Here's one feasting on the flowers of a Monarch's favorite host plant, the #Honeyvine. YES Honeyvine IS a milkweed!



#WingedWednesday
Although #MonarchButterflies have had waning activity here, other butters have been making up much of the difference. Case in point, the overwintering Eastern Black Swallowtails that have come bustin' out all over.

This dear girl was released while the peach tree was in full bloom.

Beware the Okie scramblebrains disinformationist going around the Fediverse claiming that farmers are well off when they aren't. It's @okanogen VerminEnemyFromWithin whose handle is pretty accurate being self-descriptive.

A #farmer might very well have lucrative assets in the form of farmland acreage and high dollar cultivation equipment, but none of that has been able to keep any #farm from being foreclosed on or in need of Willie Nelson's movement, #FarmAid . When you've got land assets and depreciating equipment, you're a prime target for every corporate farming operation to snap up all you own the second you default on a loan, and this has been going on for decades.




But Turkiye is sitting astride a serious earthquake-active fault line. Lotsa luck with that.

Official support thread for @GottaLaff, who continues to document many cases where Trump and his cronies meet the rule of law. She has to endure continouous and relentless "yes, but" MAGA reply guys and takes the time to scold them for their destructive behaviour. We salute and support you. And everyone that replies to this toot offer his/her/their help to deal with the trolls. You make the Fediverse a hopeful place. On your side.

First Men in the Moon (1964)

"Jeffries), a brilliant British scientist, creates his own spacecraft and takes a trip to the moon, accompanied by explorers Arnold Bedford (Edward Judd) and Kate Callender (Martha Hyer). After landing, they encounter an insect-like alien race that lives under the moon's surface, which has an air-like atmosphere. After glimpsing the extraterrestrial society, the group must soon escape back to Earth."

A farmer's "wealth" is in the fair market value of all the acres he/she owns, as well as in the form of farming equipment assets, so the "wealth" factor people claim farmers have is overblown because it's not liquidity wealth.


Few people understand modern farming. The consolidation, the incredible inherited wealth, how most farmers borrow to the hilt against their property for new equipment, new pickup trucks, new toys. How many farmers have huge contracts to supply corporate producers, and then the subsidies and set asides. That clown whimpering about the green initiatives and limits on applications "reducing yields" is never going to tell you the rest of the story.

in reply to Radio Free Trumpistan

Fucking moron. Most farmers have millions in inherited land. They borrow against it for millions in operating capital and to fund millions in capital equipment and toys that they either write off as biz expenses and or depreciate against income earnings. Yes, they pay back those loans using the operating capital that they borrow, and also derive large incomes from the crops they produce Those aren't the only liquidity tricks they use you absolute oxygen thief.
