It creates such a calming atmosphere. The grey sky during the day, the darkness setting earlier and the white sky far into the evening when it's snowing is so therapeutic for me for some reason. It gets me in a state where it's enough just to be alive.

And the biting cold is such a pleasant sensation, especially when going for a run. And there are no mosquitos. Winter is all I like manfested in nature.

I listened through all of the songs by Seven Spires and Sascha Paeth's Masters of Ceremony, but Naglfar - Way of the Rope is in my head often these days

We had to do a presentation on whatever in computer class in the first year of secondary school, and I chose Linux for no apparent reason. I just kinda knew that it existed and thought what the hell.

My 'researching' led me to see what Linux offered, to learn about FOSS, listen to Stallman, and I loved tinkering so I made a dual boot (and thus learned about partitions, boot flags and such) and never looked back. ~~Even when I installed linux on my newly acquired PC a few days ago and found out that since the kernel version 5.13 some motherboards receive failure on all USB 3.0 ports and I have to fuck around with that why can't you just fucking work right away for once~~

In his two dialogues that deal directly with love, he excludes sexual relations either implicitly or explicitly. In "Sympsium" love (eros) allows you to reach an understanding of the form of the 'Beautiful', and love creates goodness, and people can only 'give birth' (besides physically, also mentally by creating things) in goodness, so that's why they seek it, to create and achieve some immortality through their creations.

In "Phaedrus" he explicitly tells how one of the three parts of the soul (mind) is a wild horse that pulls the soul in lust, and reason (the charioteer) then proceeds to pull back with all its might as the emotional part of the soul goes towards sex, as love is there to remind the soul of beauty, which is the souls nourishment, not to "mount [others] like an animal". That's basically the tl;dr of his writings on love in those two dialogoues.

Platonic solids are solids Plato mentioned in "Timaeus".

Redguards are from Yokuda, Nords are from Atmora, Imperials come from the Nedes and Bretons are a Nede/Aldmer mix. Each human race has a distinct origin, what's controversial about that? They're 'human' in the sense that they're not Mer or Beastfolk.

But Nords have identical buffs/debuffs according to that sheet.

Also Dark Souls. I was confused at first as I mostly ignored the story part since it's not given to you on a plate and just stopped. Then years later I did a proper run and I'll never forget it.

I actually like the taste of black coffee. At one time I also had decaf coffee so that I could drink it in the evening!

Oooh, I didn't realize that you subtract from the original number without the last digit. Thanks

~~But what about 14, 21 and 28?~~

~~14 - 4*2 = 6, not divisible by 7~~

~~21 - 1*2 = 19, not divisible by 7~~

~~28 - 8*2 = 12, not divisible by 7~~

~~Or did I misunderstand the algorithm?~~

EDIT: I didn't realize that you remove the last digit when subtracting, got corrected in the replies.

Revenge of the Sith has significantly more wars than stars compared to the others.

I think you two have different images in your minds. You say "genetically modify" as in "modify the food through choosing which genes are to prevail", while the other means "modify genes directly to affect the food", and in that sense selective breeding isn't GMO because no genes have been modified, but rather encouraged. You modify the genetic structure of future generations through natural means, not the organism directly.

Don't know what scientists say, I just see the other comment downvoted when they have a fair point.
