Until now, this method was believed to have been developed in medieval Europe, some 1,400 years later.

Did you miss the part where it said the Babylonian astronomers were “also priests”? It’s almost as if the people who wonder where we come from are sometimes the very same people who find the answers to those questions...

In Ossendrijver’s view, it’s unlikely that this method survived the vast gulf of time between the disappearance of Babylonian culture and its emergence in medieval Europe. “I think it’s more likely they [Europeans] developed it independently,”

It looks like you’re saying “you can never really know for sure” in modern english which is a written language that has been understood for hundreds of years but for all I know you’re posting about how to fuck sheep.

Although work continues, Cuneiform was mostly translated by the mid-19th century.

Yeah. I remember clearly understanding that the characters clearly were lepers back when I first saw it as a dumb high-schooler in the late 90s, so it couldn’t have been that subtle. I’ve never heard it described as an ‘urban legend.’ That seems silly.

Wait, the fact they were lepers and discriminated against elsewhere was an urban legend? I thought that was a super obvious part of the story.

and returning for it’s third season. Eva Green’s soul burning death glare.

Except this time it will clean the floor with you instead of placing pieces semi randomly.

Nice closing to the article. I approve. I am also a honda engineer!
(Not really, see how that works? You can say ANYTHING)

So, they’re saying all this stuff is CORRECT?

It’s sort of pointless to post this, because I’m grey, but I make a point of reading the grey comments (at least until they devolve into bullshit). There are a lot of good discussions that happen in the greys.

I’m all for mocking gun nuts, too.

I am now officially one of “the olds” because not one damn sentence in this article makes a damn lick of sense to me.

I make heavy use of the “hide all from ___” and “unfollow” options (the former from various obnoxious FB sources when I still want to see “normal” posts from said person, the latter when I don’t want to unfriend said person - say, a cousin - but I’m tired of listening to their political rants).

First of all, to those making the comparison w Robocop, that movie, while being one of my all time favorites, only has a tenuous connection to this show. Robocop wasn’t the first time a movie touched on private corporations owning the police & wasn’t the last. RC was more about what it means to be human (& it’s fair…

There are some cities (NYC, for example) going through a major infestation. It will take time to kill off all those bugs, and meanwhile, travelers are spreading the nuisance all over the globe.

Having to fight with trying to get the bugs out of your home for 2-3 years is much worse.

Expecting a woman to make plans to fuck a stranger met from an ad listed by another stranger is not "nice". Stop defending these fucking creeps.
