But what about "seconhand smoke", if I may call it that?

You'd be surprised at the mental gymnastics they can pull off.

If the new country refuses to assume the debt, creditors can hesitate to lend to it because they can expect that the same thing can happen again. It depends on their perception of the new government, or of its new constitution and laws.

The days of the US empire are over; and now begins the age of a new Chinese empire.

How is that going to protect us from the US?

Yea how does this even make economic sense?

Well, your solution works. But if you want to subdivide the season into neat and regular weeks, it's not possible. So the next best thing is subdividing the year into weeks while disregarding the seasons.

Don't subdivide the 73-day seasons.

Instead, subdivide the year into 73 5-day weeks.

A year made up of 5 seasons and 73 weeks.

Which is also why I hate that our calendar starts at year 1.

[–] Danquebec@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Not if you divide by 5. It gets you 73 days each.

Some parts of Japan, such as Hokkaido, can be considered to be colonized as its native people are the Ainus, not the Yamato people (the Japanese ethnicity).

The Yamato themselves didn't didn't exist for 40'000 years. It was during the 4th century BC to the 7th century CE that their main ancestors, the Yayoi and the Toraijin, migrated to Japan and displacd the Joumon people to the North. The latter had been in Japan for a much longer time.

 

I have a stomach flu. My government recommends me to eat as normally as possible.

I've generally had no appetite.

And the idea of eating foods, even bland, often makes me feel nauseous.

And when I do eat, I often want to puke what I ate.

Why does my body do this if I'm supposed to fill my guts with food?

 

I'm hesitating between Vex Go and Lego Education Spike for my 7 years old son who's interested in robotics.

Vex has a good organization system which is a big plus, but Lego looks like it has more cool things you can do with it.

I wanted to compare what customers thought but I have trouble finding indormation so I'm turning to you. Anyone has had experience with these products or any other?

Thank you

 

I was wondering if we have older metalheads here?

I've been educating myself on the history of metal, and that made me wonder if anyone here is much older than I am (early thirties here) and has seen some of that history.

How did you get into metal? How old were you?

Any interesting experience you'd like to share? Things that have changed?

How were metal and metalheads perceived where you lived?

J'avais créé cette carte il y a quelques années. Elle reste encore largement utile, je l'utilise encore. À ma connaissance, Montréal n'offre pas encore de carte pour ça.

Faites profiter à votre famille de nos paraugeoires et jeux d'eau à Montréal en ce temps de canicule!

 

Je vis proche, et je le fréquente souvent. Pour ma part, je trouve ça un peu triste, parce que j'y trouve des éléments architecturaux à l'intérieur qui sont intéressants, témoins d'une autre époque, mais c'est pour le mieux, car je ne peux qu'être pour une plus grande densification, et la Place Versailles a un stationnement vraiment excessif.

 

Hey,

I'm generally more into melodeath, power metal, folk metal, and epic heavy metal. I sometimes listen to black metal, but I'm not a big fan of it. Unless it's blackened something (death, folk...)

But some black metal songs are something else for me.

Keys to the Astral Gates and Mystic Doors

This one has absolutely beautiful dungeon synth over the raw black metal, and I love it.

Winter Lantern - Elven Blood

Listen to "Her Body Broken in the Bloody Snow".

This one also has excellent dungeon synth, together with black metal. Very good songs, their only flaw, which pisses me to no end, is the unnecessary effect on the vocals.

Now that I'm typing it out, I guess that what I'm looking for are bands that put emphasis on dungeon synth, but are still metal? But how do I look for more? Is there even a genre that I can search to find more of that?

I don't know subgenres of BM well (sorry, I'm definitely not trve kvlt enough), I tried:

  • Raw BM: this sounds to be typical raw production second wave like Mayhem
  • Melodic BM: seems like pure melodic BM (without death, or punk, etc.) hardly exist. Found good bands, but not what I'm looking for
  • USBM: generally not what I'm looking for
  • Lofi BM: might be the best match? Found Nihilitic Depths - Beneath Forgotten Ruins which is quite similar, but bands described lofi BM don't always correspond

Any help is welcome. Suggestions of bands or albums welcome too. After all, there might not be a name for that.

Thanks
