@grey I hear they're good if you can get them to actually ship to you (or if you order from a secondary distributor), but when I tried to order from them they started asking me to confirm my identity by sending a picture of my driver's license.
@BowsacNoodle@reallyangry Inside you there are two weebs. One wants to dress like a a samurai, the other wants to get a job as a teacher and find a Japanese wife.
(1890 is also the year that Lafcadio Hearn went to Japan. I thought he might be the guy in the picture, but on looking him up he appears quite different.)
@BowsacNoodle@Someguy@teto@DarkGura@Escoffier@plotinus_enjoyer@Witch_Hunter_Siegfired The boomers at my church are constantly amazed whenever another family with 4+ homeschooled children shows up. They keep making jokes "I wish the pastor would preach about birth control, ha ha!" Those used to tick me off, but now that something like 40% of our average Sunday service is under the age of 8 it's much easier to ignore them.
@Rhodesian_YuKari@p Oh, that's not Markdown, that's Github Flavored Markdown (GFM). It has extra features, but should not be confused with Markdown Extra, which is something totally different. This particular feature came from MultiMarkdown (MMD), which is different from both. I think we use Misskeymarkdown, also referred to as Misskey-Flavored Markdown, MFM, which stands for "Markup language For Misskey". These implementations all share common markdown features, but don't refer to those as CommonMark because that's something separate as well.
The great thing about Markdown is how simple it makes things.
@BowsacNoodle Almost certainly - in ESV, the same terminology is used of Sarah in Gen 18.
I never really understood the purpose of the household idols segment. Is this suggesting that Rachel was not as devout as she should have been (tying in with the bit where Jacob is buried with Leah, but Rachel is buried elsewhere)? Is Rachel trying to keep her father from idolatry? Were these symbolic objects representing birthright, pairing with Jacob's relationship with Esau?
@john_darksoul@BowsacNoodle Augustine touches on this idea quite a lot in City of God, mostly referring to a lost work by Varro: the "Res divinae" section of "Antiquitates rerum humanarum et divinarum". From this, Augustine draws a history of some human figures later assigned divinity, and tries to sequence them with the history of the Old Testament.
@SuperSnekFriend@kf01 Ackchyually, pawn promotion rules have varied over time. One common alternative historically was that pawns might only be promoted to pieces which had already been captured. Sometimes, this is described with language of "exchanging" the pawn.
This suggests that, to some degree, pawn promotion is/was viewed as the recapture of a prisoner from behind enemy lines, with the pawn himself either dying in action or being subsumed into the retinue of the more noble piece which he has rescued.
Under this interpretation, pawns promoted to queens are actually capturing maidens from enemy territory who are infatuated with the king, bestowing presumptive royal prerogatives on them before the ceremony because said king is understandably occupied in battle.
