Sun, Moon, and Talia was written in the early 1600s. The version I was referring to is from Perceforest, written between 1330 and 1344. It’s the earliest known version.

Random Rocky and Bullwinkle
It’s not a prince who finds a random sleeping girl. Princess Zellandine falls in love with a man named Troylus. Her father sends Troylus away to perform various tasks to prove himself worthy of her. But yes, he does basically rape her in her sleep when he comes back.
lunarul@lemmy.worldto Buy European@feddit.uk•Why US chocolate tastes weird to the rest of the worldEnglish0·22 hours agoBut the common “cheap” chocolate like Hersheys is compared to common similarly priced chocolate in Europe. You can find much cheaper chocolate in Europe that is just as bad or worse than Hersheys, but you expect it for that price.
It’s not the angle. The spacing is clearly equal between all letters of GOON.
Yeah, probably Ghost wouldn’t be my first thought when asked about “that ghost movie”. I was just thinking that if asked specifically about the actress in Ghost, I’d think of the one prominently featured in all the promotional materials, despite Whoopi having the more memorable role.
This a great visualization of what LLMs are about. The purpose of a LLM is to produce something that looks right. The way this math sheet looks great at first look, but the actual content is just garbage, same do LLMs create output that sounds right and it doesn’t really matter if it is.
If you’re not very familiar with JS, watch the Wat talk before taking the quiz to know what to expect from this wonderful language.
Huh. I would have answered Demi Moore.
don’t stick your nose into other people’s business
That’s a slightly different expression than “mind your beeswax”. I was thinking there’s no equivalent in Romanian, “mind your business” is already simple and direct, and you can replace “business” with something context-relevant. But for “don’t stick your nose into other people’s business” there are multiple equivalent expressions: “don’t come in where your pot is not boiling”, “don’t come in like a fly in milk”, and I’m sure there are others I’m forgetting now.

lunarul@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?2·3 days agoAs a fan if open world RPGs, Valhalla was a great game for me, and I didn’t have any past expectations of an AC game to go by (it was many years since I played Unity when I got into Valhalla).
I definitely enjoyed Unity and didn’t know about its bad reputation until after I finished Valhalla and started looking into which one I should play next. But coming to it again after playing all the previous ones, there was a definite “wtf, why is this not as polished as Black Flag” moment when I started. There are also some big changes from previous games that I had to get used to (no more whistling, no human shield), but I’m still enjoying it and I remember how much I loved exploring Paris the first time I played it (now I’m playing it more in completionist mode than stopping to take in the view).
lunarul@lemmy.worldto Patient Gamers@sh.itjust.works•Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?2·3 days agoTL;DR I’m playing Assassin’s Creed Unity this week.
I’ve been playing the entire Assassin’s Creed franchise in release order and this week I’m at Unity. It was actually the first Assassin’s Creed game I’ve ever owned, bought the collector’s edition when it came out.
I first heard of and saw Assassin’s Creed when Black Flag released a free demo on the Xbox One. I absolutely loved it, so the first game in the series to come out after that I just bought right away (and it was Unity). I played it a bunch, finished it and got most achievements, but it didn’t really stay with me that much.
The next game in the series that drew my attention was Valhalla and when I saw it on sale for a ridiculously low price I just snatched it up. Absolutely loved that game, played it to 100% completion of everything, got the game pass and exhausted all content possible out of it.
I wanted more AC and grabbed Origins on sale. Loved that one too, played everything out of it. Still needed more.
But there was a lot of present-day back-story in Valhalla and Origins that I didn’t know about, which is why I decided to go back to the beginning of the series and play every game in order. It has been a great journey, I love seeing how the series progressed, and I also now understand why Unity has such low reviews (every game so far has been a visible improvement over the previous one, except Unity which looks and plays worse than Black Flag). I’m still going to 100% it before moving on though (looks like back in 2014 I didn’t go for 100% on the main sequence, so I scrapped my save file and started over, since I didn’t remember the story anyway).
Apparently Hebrew was written with hammer and chisel initially. Holding the hammer with the right hand and chisel with left, writing from right to left allowed to not cover the already written part with the left arm.
But it’s a fact that most people are right handed even in areas with right-to-left writing. No reason to speculate on things there’s already concrete information for.

But it just doesn’t look right. I use a double dash, but most places now convert that automatically to em dash.
I find the heads in the sacrifice room to be clear famous characters, while the half hidden trophies in the second panel to be an easier to miss reference.
