Julian Augustus: Platonism, Myth, and the Refounding of Rome Abstract. The Roman emperor Julian employed both words and deeds to return the empire to paganism and reverse Christianization, inspired by his conversion

If you would like to read my book, "Julian Augustus: Platonism, Myth, and the Refounding of Rome," before its print publication next month, you can purchase access to the online version, or access it through your institutional library:

Thanks @depthsofwikipedia.bsky.social.

Chemist here with a fun fact: chlorine-containing compounds will irreversibly embrittle bronze, making it susceptible to fracturing.

Protestors be like:

The protestors:

Very powerful stuff from the President of Ireland on stopping the starvation in #gaza

Most likely killed by the other prisoners for being a pedo so the government's hands are clean.

Sorry didn't mean to sound condescending.

Can you do gutturals?

28 years later was fantastic. The film has a ton of thematic depth and manages to successfully tackle so many themes without being disjointed or confused. The filmography and visuals are also incredibly well executed.

I can see this facility being revived, but it won't be through Thiel. It would have to be done purely through defense spending and probably the NNSA.

Yeah if we end up with a HALEU facility it's going to be through what's already going on at INL.

SMRs will happen, but US plans are a botched nightmare. Canada's investment in the BWRX-300 will happen long before Duke builds at Shearon Harris. They need to not be stupid & build two AP-1000 NOAKs.

While I hate Thiel, this seems overblown. My concern is the gradual hamstringing of regulatory oversight and US safety culture.

SB 266 will just bring corruption, not new Nuclear.

Duke Energy is going to build another FOAK instead of copying Vogtle to learn from its failures and it will run tens of billions over, and they'll be pocketing the ratepayer income.

These new laws will allow Duke Energy to raise North Carolinians' rates for electricity, block any meaningful regulation of big corporate polluters, gives the new Republican State Auditor sweeping new powers, and allows new lawsuits against doctors providing gender affirming care.

Republicans in the North Carolina legislature overrode 8 of Governor Josh Stein's first 14 vetoes this morning. 3 Democrats, on different bills, crossed party lines to join all 71 Republican members to pass these bills into law.

Fuck the NC Legislature.

Bit unrelated hot take: Flexiposts are fine. But also:

This would fund:

- 42 new nuclear reactors.
- 512 new 500 MW solar farms with batteries
- 1,065 miles of new light rail
- 3,115 miles of new high speed rail
- 5,785 miles of new commuter rail
- 207,692 animal shelters
- 3,681,818 3-Year PhDs
- 13,500,000 miles of flexi-post bike lanes

Honestly you probably know better than me I don't know jack shit past the 14th century for Naval Warfare.

It's self inflicted from redesigning small town mainstreats into stroads. Every lifted truck that blows through main street is one more Amazon delivery and one more dead small business.

True, the issue as I have read it is retrofitting any chosen civilian class with engines that can keep up, as even with major retrofits the hulls just aren't designed to achieve or operate at those speeds.

And the counter-argument is the Italians' 76mm gun with guided projectiles.

Curious Cures completed - really excellent work by a brilliant team @theul.bsky.social led by Dr James Freeman: www.lib.cam.ac.uk/stories/curi...

Seems to me like a lot of people in the comments are really failing to understand what this is or why this discussion is even being had.

Honestly though the idea of just retrofitting oil tankers with stupid numbers of interceptor missiles is too funny to pass up. The Toyota Hilux of the seas.

Honestly I could buy this if it was like Star Wars: Visions. It would probably go down as being very memorable.

I just can't buy this as part of an actual mainline Trek show.

C&C Remastered was 2020, but I must be thinking of something else. Could have sworn it was Petroglyph though.

(Sorry was scrolling down for your take on this since you're usually well-informed.)

I think the broader issue with them is that they're very broad in their language. The UK law's inclusion of stuff relating to terrorism for example suggests it could be used against anything related to Irish Unification, Palestine, etc.

And how does this affect old games? Servers for old MMOs?

Halo

The most recent Command and Conquer?
