(Actually, I don't know how it happened. If a moderator wants to delete one of the two posts, that's fine with me.)

In order to do that succesfully, he'd need the corridor Torco mentions. Of course, he can stir trouble or lob missiles at Moldova, but strategically it doesn't make sense - it would only be a diversion.

How it's known that Proto Germanic infinitive had a vowel at the end since none of attested Germanic languages has it? We can at least say that the final -n of the oldest attested forms must at some point have been followed either by a short vowel of by *t, otherwise the n would have been lost. And...

Good luck!

Having read the article, I now understand the headline, but it stills sounds weird to me that, when someone first killed a cat and then later a human being, the headline about them starts out by calling them a "cat killer". I have brought your wrong priorities to the attention of our feli...

It's Vianden Castle in Luxembourg.

Of course it is! Do you already know when you will return there (to Mettwurstland, not the castle)?

Is that a castle from Germany?

I like reading novels, so that's what I would like to see Maybe an online novel with links to the musical pieces that are mentioned? And I guess that already looks like a project that can take a lifetime...

OK, a quick web search brought me this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apatheism

Good to know!

My position on this is similar to that of some others here - 1) I don't belive in god(s) because I haven't seen any evidence or argument that has convinced me they are a necessary part of explaining the world, and 2) I have specific issues with believing in the Christian god because assuming his exi...

It seems to be fine again now.

For me as well.

Condolences frrom me as well, and I hope you find a good place for your mother!

Not directly ZBB-related, but Firefox just sent me a security warning when I visited zompist.com. I had to click on something like "Accept the risk and go on" to view the website. Similar to me, on Chrome, since about 2-3 days. I'm mostly accessing zompist.com on my work computer, and my ...

Sahra Wagenknecht's mottled crew entering the game, who now offer a way of telling the established parties that they are all bullfrogs without having to vote for a party many people say about they were Nazis. Well, that bunch is still xenophobic and pro-Putin, only with left-wing social and economi...

Not really arguing for or against anything said here, but also keep in mind that hunter-gatherer language families can spread over vast territories as well; see Australia, which was mostly Pama-Nyungan before the European colonists arrived.

It’s actually surprisingly easy — I highly recommend giving it a go if you have any bamboo near you. (Or reeds, which are the more traditional choice.) Looks great, and your calligraphy as well - me, I've always been so-so at best at handicrafts and my handwriting would make a doctor's look good, s...
