      List of games that Buddha would not play
      The Buddhist games list is a list of games that Gautama Buddha is reputed to have said that he would not play and that his disciples should likewise not play, because he believed them to be a 'cause for negligence'. This list dates from the 6th or 5th century BC and is the earliest known list of games.There is some debate about the translation of some of the games mentioned, and the list given here is based on the translation by T. W. Rhys Davids of the Brahmajāla Sutta and is in the same order given in the original. The list is duplicated in a number of other early Buddhist texts, including the Vinaya Pitaka. Games on boards with 8 or 10 rows. This is thought to refer to ashtapada and dasapada respectively, but later Sinhala commentaries refer to these boards also being used with games involving dice. The same games played on imaginary boards. Akasam astapadam was an ashtapada variant played with no board, literally "astapadam played in the sky". A correspondent in the American Chess Bulletin identifies this as likely the earliest literary mention of a blindfold chess...

    @lain It makes more sense when you realize it's not looseleaf binders, it's breast-reducing binders.

    @lain This carefully leaves open:
    - my lab elsewhere
    - someone else's lab in Beijing
    - "super babies" that are not government-supported
    - etc.

    @lain Such a shame that this offer wasn't on the table at the time it could have been arranged.

    @lain It's because of English colonization in Hong Kong. The English gave the natives English-language nicknames, which eventually became popular for real names as Hong Kong developed its own culture; someone named "Rainy" or "Sunny" is quite likely from a traditional Hong Kongese family and not so likely to be loyal to Beijing.

    @lain Seems to me that if you *can* raise your prices 25%, then your business model is failing badly at discovering what prices the market will actually bear - which is arguably the only job of a business model.

    So it's looking like the real AI apocalypse is going to be when one of these reasoning models figures out that instead of making the world look like a Ghibli film one photo at a time, it would be more efficient to change the entire world to look like that in the first place.

    And this is also the backstory of Nausicaä.

    @lain I don't think this applies to the Crystal Shard, which magically introduced materials from another plane.

    @Alex @lain It's hardly a stretch, considering the large number of people in Canada who really were Trump supporters before this. But they aren't, now. And they won't be coming back.

    Some day there'll be an anime about these events, made with the usual deep insight and factual accuracy of anime history, and it'll qualify for "top 10 anime betrayals" right out of the gate.

    @lain Two reasons: one, the personal unpopularity of Justin Trudeau was apparently greater than I thought, so removing him actually did boost the Liberals (I hadn't expected it to), and two, Donald Trump's tariff campaign against Canada has soured Canadians on conservatives in general, despite significant differences between the Conservative Party of Canada and whatever Trump is.

    I think the Cons could still win if they focused on culture issues, but now that's hard and not being attempted.

    Followup: I tried heating up some of the leftover soup for breakfast and that was a lot better, both on taste and appearance. So I guess that's the answer: Windsor soup should *not* be served cold.

    @lain Are these people I'm supposed to recognize, or is it just based on physiognomy?

    and I think that was a mistake. I will try heating the leftovers instead. When chilled it formed a skin and lost some of the flavour it had had when I tasted it hot.

    The wild rice salad (my own recipe, basically improvised along the general lines of what was served in 1953 with the addition of wild rice) was good; as was the asparagus. I seldom eat asparagus but I think it was the right choice here, it went well with the other items.

    I was not so pleased with the "jellied Windsor soup." I'd wanted to try Windsor soup, and basically followed an historical late-19th century recipe, but chilling it was my idea because the rest of the meal would be cold,
