Yeah and it unfortunately succeeded, so I’m surprised it is still around.

What the hell kind of crap is that writing?

Also, I’m surprised this is even this a thing, I thought he’d abandoned the boring company years ago.

Sir Terry Pratchett.

A phenomenal author whose ability to weave a story is fantastic, but was also adept at writing in jokes and references that make re-reading the novels a delight.

1TB can be Recommended Chrome Ram?

At what point is a sauce not a curry, soup or drink?

Bug your indian friends by calling Ketchup a tomato curry.

Unfortunately its all in person knowledge from living in the area.

Coast Salish Agriculture: permanent exhibit at UBC Botanical Garden. Specifically how they cultivated groves of Garry Oak trees.

Searching Garry Oak or Garry Oak Tree turns up a fair bit of resources to read there.

In general, a bit to read about a non PNW native agriculture is a short excerpt in The World Without Us by Alan Weisman. He talks about what we consider the “natural state” of the island of Manhattan. To paraphrase: If you consider it plains or meadow, that’s not the natural state. That state was one created and managed by native people in the area when European explorers and settlers arrived.

As for their use of the western red cedar. Again, in person. For in person visits and information I would recommend:
• Grouse Mountain maintains a small collection, as well as some respectable Alpine-ish hiking in the summer.
• Sea To Sky Gondola in Squamish, BC: tourist attraction run by the local native band.
• The best would of course be the UBC Museum of Anthropology. Edit: which works with the native groups to display/restore/preserve artifacts. Its not just pilfered stuff.

Also, if they meant Christianity conquered the Celts. No. That was mostly Julius Caesar, who slaughtered at least a quarter of them, enslaved another quarter and the remainder were tricked into shit land deals for wine and Roman weapons(just like their French, Spanish and British descendants would to most of the rest of the world ~1500-1700 years later.)

No, it’s pretty arguable that the first nations of the “Pacific North West” had it ridiculously good for a hunter-gatherer society.

Which is why they didn’t progress into “more advanced” tools or housing; they didnt need to. For example, Western Red Cedar is very close to a perfect wood. Grows quickly, grows very straight, little to no knots, easily split and can be turned into fibers for clothing, but its also fairly strong and can be made into structural housing. And it’s naturally rot resistant.

Hell, they made ocean capable dugout canoes from them, as well as everything else from homes to totem poles, artwork, furniture and clothing. Then for food they had rudimentary agriculture for some items, but most of the coastal diet was Pacific Salmon, caught though spears or nets.

As far as I understand it, the only aggressive culture in the region was the Haida because they lived on relatively small chain of islands. Everyone else basically just lived and partied.

Due to cost profit margins and shareholder returns.

Fixed that for you.

Thanks, was looking for a verifiable source for the apartment bombings but couldn’t find one. Didn’t think of wikipedia.

There are persistent suspicions that he and his clique organized the terrorist bombings that catapulted him to power.

Not to mention what he did the last time people in a theater in Moscow were attacked. His actions(gassing the theather) killed 130 of the victims.

Live your life and enjoy what you can.

Be glad that you got to experience what you did.

If you have the funds, go tour things we know are vanishing, so that you at least have a living memory of them.

The trick is that they’re literally spamming papers at this point.

It has been published, but a staggering number of scientific “papers” coming out of China are turning out to be complete fabrications.

What are you talking about?
Taiwan is its own country.

The CCP has only ever cared about the public face it presents.

Consistency between statements has never mattered.

Kbin, literally haven’t seen any spam, seen lots about how the fediverse Admins are taking care of it.

So, thank you mods and admins.

Except that the reintroduced Canadian wolves into yellowstone proves that one dead wrong.
