Ice engines.

Are they engines powered by ice?

Are they engines that produce ice?

Are they engines powered by internal combustion engines?

Are they engines that produce internal combustion engines?

Who knows.

Yeah basically, based on genital structure, everyone should wear skirts.

Heehoo who?

This comment has been a joyride

Yes

Hopefully knives and female genitals don't mix either.

Alas, we have not kept this part of our roots 😔

Though we absolutely should reconnect with that part of our heritage!

And you! You should absolutely be proud of your heritage! Your "mush of fried pork scraps and trimmings"(Wikipedia's words, not mine) may not be "free-tiddy traditional garments" but...

I actually bet there's some real interesting stories around this kind of traditional, basically "make food out of what we have" kind of meal. Like our "horta", being what kept people alive during the various famines and imprisonments, during German occupation.

I'm with you on the call to action, but huge disclaimer:

This specific Communist Party of Greece (ΚΚΕ) of ours, has a literally fascist political plan as its stated goal (amass power, suppress opposition through all means available, and pinky promise to give that power back afterwards through The Revolution that will happen after we amass all the power and suppress all opposition), and is painfully nationalistic, and politically conservative.

No, get the gold and the pill that doubles something you own. The pi million is completely moot.

This is all fascinating. Yeah, the island being basically an arms length around the volcano, would get it absolutely fucking blasted during an eruption lol

Btw, according to Wikipedia citations, the book on Minoan colonialism (one of the three sources confirming the settling of the island around 1300bc), was published on 1981.

So no, as cool as it would have been to have had a recent archeological discovery, this case was either a big lack of interest by the writers of the school books, or maybe just a touch of sanitization of history. It's been done a lot to our school books. (Or maybe my memory didn't catch a one-sentence note somewhere about "spreading to the Aegean sea". It's been many years after all)

We thank the Minoan tiddy for bringing us this history lesson today.

Huh, today I learnt, Minoans were settlers and had some settlements outside of Crete in nearby islands. I still couldn't find info about Santorini itself, but you presumably have heard that piece of info somewhere, so I'll take your word for it, random internet person.

Which should be embarrassing, because I grew up in Crete, we studied Minoan history 3-4 times throughout school, and had multiple school trips to the various ruins.

But nope. Just dates and languages, and some of the art (this piece's clothes are historically accurate, actually. Lovely era).

**close to.

Tl;dr:

France tries to pass an extremely unpopular reform on its colonized island on the other side of the world, allowing french citizens to vote after 10 years of staying on the island, that just so happens to be the world's 3rd largest nickel exporter.

Locals, already fucked by years of colonialism and being economically disadvantaged, protested, and in the escalating violence, were suppressed by armed police, that killed 3 young locals. One policeman dies, days later in the hospital from a wound.

France locks down the airport and port with military, applies 12 days lockdown to the already curfew'd capital, and stations another 500 police men on top of the 1800, making for almost 10% of the population now, being french police.

Tiktok is banned, because it was said to be the main way protesters organised.

Their politicians claim no colonialism is happening.

This article sensationalises the violence of the protesters, and dryily describes that of the French state.

It is also ordered such that the heavier crimes against the people of the island, are placed after: a vapid introduction that "takes no sides", one mandatory extra click to "load the rest of the article", and a bunch of ads.

Here in Greece where the weather gets hot as fuck in the summer, and where we get an incredible number of tourists, it's not uncommon to see some of them (one every two days for example, if you work around the busier places in the centre of the tourist city I live in) be braless.

Mostly younger (white, probably middle class) women, but I think people are slowly being liberated again with younger adult Gen z, after a big sexual closing-off that happened last couple decades.

This week in KDE: all about those apps

Cool beans

And I appreciate them, as well ❤️

Yes, but that's a really low bar to clear.

Like saying "cereal is WAY tastier than duct tape".

You're not wrong, but... It's almost an insult to ferrets.

Sounds just as good
