Egyptians are just butthurt Ireland has cairns that are older than their pyramids.

Also, their dialect is to Arabic what scouse is to English. I'd be irritated too.


I've been buying mineral specimens from the Lapis Lazuli mines at Sar-e Sang, Afghanistan lately so I've been on a Sar-e Sang kick.. I've updated the world history chart below to put mining at Sar-e Sang into perspective. Sar-e Sang is the oldest continuously mined area on earth, having been mined for ~9,600 years.

Mining at Sar-e Sang started 6200 years before the lapis from there was used in the funeral mask of King Tut.
Mining there predates domestication of the camel by ~4400 years.
Mining there predates the oldest Irish cairns by ~4100 years.
Mining at Sar-e Sang predates domestication of the horse by ~4000 years.

The oldest known mine on earth is a red ochre mine at Ngwenya, Swaziland at ~42,000 years old. While vastly older than Sar-e Sang, there is no evidence that it has been mined continuously throughout all of human history.

It appears to me, now, as

But I vaguely remember briefly seeing it earlier and, if IRC, it was related to this, no?


I seem to remember (though might be imagining it) that that character kept explicitly mentioning that trope. Perhaps that's why he avoided it?

Wasn't there also the infamous thing about the test audience hating the female scientist character so much that they changed the ending to kill her off instead? Is that an example of 'intersectionality'?

This is some messed up fungus...


(A number of Israeli soldiers returned with infections and in bad shape). Shocker, with all of the soil/dirt and material being kicked up by the bombing of Gaza.

This video is just about the fungus itself which is why I didn't post it in P&N, fwiw.
