According to the most popular version, this scene is deeply personal for the artist Pukirev; this is his beloved marrying the rich prince. Most likely, she was a poor woman without a dowry and her parents considered marriage with a wealthy, prosperous prince to be the best option for her

It is one of Earth's largest known explosive eruptions. The Toba catastrophe theory holds that this event caused a...
This event is always good to point out when people discuss anything about race. Humans have very little genetic diversity. Height and color features are nothing, we're basically all the same around the world
Yes but the point is even that so called diversity is nothing, it's fractions of a percent, mainly certain disease resistances/weaknesses like malaria and genetic disorders IIRC. In the overall human genome the differences are extremely small.
Separating humans by race is ridiculous the more you dive into genetics

For me it’s first person puzzle games. I can think of maybe a dozen off the top of my head that came out in the last decade. I especially enjoy when they’re open world. The ability to just quit a puzzle that’s stumped you and go try something else for a little bit is incredibly refreshing.
The tribes series, or z-axis games, where you are able to move up and down as well as the traditional x-y movement you see in virtually all games. Usually set as shooters, they are fast paced movement games that have a huge skill curve which is why they aren't made that often. Super fun when you get the hang of it though
This is exactly why transparency is great. These people are ridiculous and lose credibility. Keeping everything visible is the best defense against manipulation

You were supposed to bath naked. The article says that they were concerned that thieves would steal anything left outside the baths. The best strategy was not to bring things of value to the baths but then you'd look like a poor person
Well, China is spending money to expand itself. You're right about Nato though, they just want the US to do it all for them and then be the scapegoats too
They are experiencing record heatwaves so it might be getting their attention. Their population is huge so if they become uncomfortable it's a powerful force for change
