TL;DR: the ancient Greeks, with their limited knowledge of geography and abilities to travel, first employed the word "Europe" to define the boundary between their known world, the unknown to the East (Asia) and the unknown to the South (Africa).
quote from the dedicated wikipedia page:
The threefold division of the Old World into Africa, Asia, and Europe has been in use since the 6th century BC by early Greek geographers such as Anaximander and Hecataeus.
Anaximander placed the boundary between Asia and Europe along the Phasis River (the modern Rioni in Georgia in the Caucasus Mountains), from Rioni mouth in Poti on the Black Sea coast, through the Surami Pass and along the Kura River to the Caspian Sea, a convention still followed by Herodotus in the 5th century BC. As geographic knowledge of the Greeks increased during the Hellenistic period, this archaic convention was revised, and the boundary between Asia and Europe was now considered to be the Tanais (the modern Don River). This is the convention used by Roman era authors such as Posidonius, Strabo and Ptolemy.

if an admin becomes tempted with letting sponsored content to filter into the network, they will face defederation and an diaspora of their users.
that's why it's also important to support your server admin financially so they don't have an incentive of looking for third party financing in the first place.

EDIT: it's a place called Novyi Svit, in Crimea

the methodology isn't good, they should ask if the respondent is a republican or a democrat before asking for whom they intend on voting, they could this way adjust the response rate according to the actual number of voters of each camp and compensate the tendency of the democrats to not answer the phone. /s

I'm collecting all his tears to cook a big pot of pasta. Not sure how anyone would make "millions of dollars" from a single artwork anyway.

It's getting pretty hopeless to see all these political figures so often put in front of a judge, but it seldom has an impact on their career. Never imprisoned, fines are hardly a problem considering how rich (or friend of rich people) most of them are, or they have someone to take the fall.
These days, it's even an advantage to be prosecuted or condemned, making them appear as victims.
The switch that turns the concrete mixer broke and only stays on if you keep it pressed, but we already put cement and water into it so we had to keep going. So I got a couple of clamps :) A new switch has been ordered, but it's gonna take 2 weeks to come from China.

The book with fan art from Scarland in Hermitcraft Season 9 arrived today in the mail, with an awesome sheet of stickers and a Season 10 flyer! Super excited :D
Except for IKEA executives, they would spend 4 years assembling the cabinet.

This is the first problem in a small book I have, check-mate in 1 move. The opponent's King is in the back right corner of the board. You have a Pawn on the third row in front of it. In your drop zone, you have a Rook, a Gold General and a Silver General available. Please use the spoiler tag to post your answer :) ::: spoiler Solution Drop Gold General in front of the King at 1二, protected by the Pawn at 1三. Wrong moves: - dropping the Rook at 1二, at 3一 or at 4一 lets the King escape to 2一, - dropping the Silver General at 1二 lets the King escape to 2二 - dropping a Gold or Silver General at 2二 lets the King take General back at 2二, since it isn't protected by the Pawn. ::: Reminder of the movements of the pieces:

Hi everyone! A slow week went by, with daily heavy rains it's not always easy to find the motivation to work outside. We installed a 50 square meter fleece and pond liner on top of the build, and started backfilling with dirt.  It's a lot of work because we have to dig the overgrown pile of dirt that's been sitting for 5 years on our lot, first getting rid of the roots in the top soil. But we have to do this manually as the back is only reachable through a narrow path in our neighbor's garden. My partner also installed the electrical panel with 24V circuits for RGBW LED strips, a PoE WiFi access point and connected the wall outlets to the 230V main. It was temporarily connected to test how bright the strips will be. They will later be mounted in metal railings across the whole length of the lower brick line, with a wood cladding.   We will then have to dig a 20 meter trench from the house main electric supply, lay a PVC pipe and pull a 3-phase copper line to the cellar. This will be the garden hub to provide electricity to the future outdoor kitchen.  The next few days we will work on the mortar joints, using the multitool diamond blades that arrived in the mail to finish the cleanup before grouting all the joints cleanly. Have a great week and keep on doing it yourself! 
This beauty was cuddling with a car when I went past her on my bike. I stopped and she came to me and purred immediately, very sweet ☺️
This is so incredible to watch, you feel like you're one of the hermits :D
Une du journal communiste italien "il manifesto" du 2 juillet 2024 > # Veni vidi Vichy > > Le gouvernement a ouvert la porte à la droite, et en anticipant le vote, il l'a ouverte en grand. Et maintenant Macron reste vague sur la désolidarisation (?) avec le Front populaire, et beaucoup de macroniens la rejettent. La gauche avec ses candidats fait "barrage", mais le second tour risque de ramener la France à son passé noir.
