@kaffeeringe @historyofpunkrock when it comes to German punk, my knowledge isn't that strong. I bought the Nina Hagen-album in '78. I saw X-mal Deutschland in the early 80's, and I discovered Die Toten Hosen when they brought out Ein kleines bisschen Horrorschau.

I don't know who needs to hear this but man ascii contains a complete table of all ASCII-7 values including their hex, decimal and octal equivalents

@mcc Obligatory nitpick; ASCII is 7-bits, so "ASCII-7" is redundant.

English poet and painter William Blake was born in 1757. Author of exquisite lyrics in Songs of Innocence & Songs of Experience & profound and difficult “prophecies,” such as Visions of the Daughters of Albion, The First Book of Urizen, Milton, & Jerusalem. In the early 21st century, Blake was regarded as the earliest and most original of the Romantic poets, but in his lifetime he was generally neglected or dismissed as mad.

William Blake at PG:
https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/author/295

Inferno, Canto V, 37-138, The Whirlwind of Lovers; Francesca da Rimini
Earth's Answer (Cam) Songs of Innocence and Experience
Blake's "Newton" is a demonstration of his opposition to the "single-vision" of scientific materialism: The great philosopher-scientist is isolated in the depths of the ocean, his eyes (only one of which is visible) fixed on the compasses with which he draws on a scroll. He seems almost at one with the rocks upon which he sits (1795). William Blake's Newton (1795), colour print with pen & ink and watercolour. Blake's picture of Newton as a divine geometer was one of a series he created while living in Lambeth in the late 1790s. Blake's printing appears to have been a form of self-developed monoprint which he then finished with additions in pen and ink coupled with watercolour washes.

    Welp, agreed to give a 30 minute talk in Stuttgart next month. That’s 1200km away. Only viable option is to fly (hint: the North Sea is in the way—the ferry is expensive AF, and the fastest rail route is over 12 hours and involves 2 changes). Even flying, I need extra days for travel. And 1-3 days to prepare the talk. (I'm out of practice).

    So: a 30 minute talk costs me approximately five days.

    (I'm doing this one because there are side-errands en route. Otherwise, it's not worth it.)

    Twitter / X is serving users with a new ad format that can't be blocked or reported

    the ads aren't even actual X posts & aren't connected to any X accounts. they do not disclose that they are ads

    it appears the ads are connected to clickbait ad networks
