There are plenty of books which are scarce but not sought after. Not necessarily because they lack intrinsic value but simply because they are forgotten. Beautifully crafted antique books which can be bought for almost…
The unfortunate thing here is that the swastika was appropriated by a genocidal regime. The symbol still has a totally different life in India and Japan.
In vino veritas
I once visited an army surplus store which stocked a kind of string vest which looked like a fish-net but with thicker cords. The proprietor claimed it was developed by the Swedish military for its effectiveness in hot…
Yeah, that’s what he’s saying. That Lays are called Walkers in the UK.
Even if they are ugly when they are living, they're wonderful to behold when they burn! I would hazard a guess that they're unpopularity with people stems from their popularity with ticks.
Veritable, though infrequently used today, is, in its origins, synonymous with true.
In languages which are truer to spelling in pronunciation than English, changing the spelling of loan-words is usually necessary. For example, the French word bureaucracy is used in English with the French spelling,…
Or Wyndham Lewis’s ‘The Childermass’, which is 300 pages odd without chapters, just one continuous chunk of prose.
I suppose it depends on your definition of civilisation. I agree that emotionally the quote conveys a laudable sentiment but technically, it would probably be more correct to state the opposite i.e. that civilisation…
Of course, the lengths are just doubled. If someone travels twice as far to get to someone’s home they also have to travel twice as far back. If the two met in the middle instead there would be four journeys but each…
Nicotine is only toxic in high doses, which naturally greatly exceed that which you get from a patch. You could say the same thing about basically anything; say someone recommended eating a banana to cure cramps.…
They mentioned they are currently developing twistrons made from other materials. They state that the current material, carbon nanotubes, are too expensive for large scale applications.
I thought it came as a dry powder you combine with water and shake?
There can exist a third category in which things are neither just nor unjust. It really depends on whether your logic system is two-valued or many. There isn’t any universal standard. Can’t you see that there are…
That depends whether you consider things must either be just or unjust or whether they can simply not be just, without being an injustice.
Could you share any of those abstracts? I would be intrigued to read some research that highlights similarities between now and a century ago.
The article is a little contradictory on that, it first states that Brian Sibley is the editor but in the quote of Brian Sibley he states his task as 'bringing together J.R.R. Tolkien’s writings (under the editorship of…
Agreed. William Burroughs conducted cut-up experiments in the 20th century, where he would take disparate texts and splice them together. The surprising result was how often they recombined into new meanings. One of his…
I actually disagree with your example. Taken ultra-literally, it could mean that 'I' was 'perched' and 'saw three black crows'. So I feel that 'crows black' was fine and French places adjectives after the word as…
It's interesting because I've heard that one of the benefits Sanskrit poets had in their ability to introduce complex structural patterns in their poetry, is that the meaning of sentences is largely independent of their…
Doesn't it rather rhyme with 'ethnics'? 'ethics' is to my ear, a half-rhyme...
Well they certainly have lawyered up!
No problem. As displayed in the video of the dead fish, although initially well-placed and enjoying the neutral flow region/sweet spot, perturbations eventually force it forwards into the obstacle. The live fish has to…
You're absolute right and the process is sometimes referred to as 'tuning'. A living fish is generally looking to hold station and avoids the region closest to the obstacle which draws it forwards towards the obstacle.…
