There are still quite a few untranslated cuneiform tablets, as well as large numbers of rolled papyrus and paper scrolls that haven’t been read yet because they can’t be unrolled. For the latter they can now use CT scanning and machine learning to virtually unroll and read them

Yep, this is it. Show how “broken” it is by breaking it, and enough of the population won’t even notice when it’s “fixed” and they’re only getting 2/3 of what they were before (and are entitled to). Plus grift, etc.

Skill issue, as the kids like to say.

Little Martha by The Allman Brothers does the weirdest thing in my brain. It’s just a fantastic instrumental acoustic guitar piece, but my brain desperately tries to “find” words in the melody. It’s almost like it’s a foreign language and I’m trying to suss out the meaning somehow. I’ve never run into another song that does that.

It’s hard to imagine stoner bands not doing well in Europe. Maybe it’s just because they’d start heading across the pond, get distracted, and turn around?
