- Comment on How did Greek or Roman choose their gods besides the big name ones? I mean did they have a god of shoes, god who relieves constapation, or one for there squeaky door? 4 weeks ago:
You have to understand that in the pre-classical era, Roman people had minor god cults throughout their small villages, and the Greeks did the same thing. The cults beliefs did some traveling over time, and reasonable people slowly began piecing together a shared mythos.
Over time, as the Greeks pulled together their culture into a power structure of loosely associated city-states, their religious cults from dozens and dozens of villages all were glued together into a more cohesive pantheon.
Romans then adopted and ‘latinized’ the Greek pantheon, mixing in several of their own superstitions and cults.
This means you will have a God of creation and a God of that pond over there, which might have later been rationalized into a nymph.

Seems like she’s seeking a spot with a preferred microclimate- not too hot, not too cold, enough shelter/cover etc.
It can be a sign of sickness or discomfort/stress. Or it can be a personality trait.
Maybe message a few herpetology forums and see if someone has some sage advice?

Agreed. To maintain health there needs to be a easy way to backup and migrate communities and user profiles between instances.
Without this theres just 1000 single points of failure rather than one.

Man Benadryl was strong, but Dimetapp was like easily 2x stronger. My parents bought a box once on sale when I was a kid. I was literally falling asleep on my feet and having realistic dreamlike hallucinations with my eyes open. At the prescribed dose.

I’m pretty sure that’s the ‘hot seed water’, since technically coffee berries are not cherries and the ‘bean’ isn’t a pit, it’s a seed.

It really is shocking. I cannot think of one movie where Leto was good except when he’s playing a huge creep/himself (same thing). He is maybe a decent character actor, but his off screen drama and antics should really disqualify him as such.

Broke my 'arr stack for a few days while I worked on getting port forwarding from ProtonVPN working in Gluetun, then works on getting a matching dockermod activated in qbittorrent. But it works now! And my whole 'arr stack is attached to the VPN and I have the forwarded port active for my private trackers.

- Comment on Hypothetically, if you have memory problems and need to write down events, is there a system which you can verify that its not tampered with? (Like a digital checksum, but for a journal) 8 months ago:
Use of a private key.
Similarly, why not put your journals into a lockbox? Very old school, but exactly what your grandparents did with their checkbooks and ledgers for the same reason.
