In this itt thread I will post two comics by anglo writers.
First there will be "Wanted" by Mark Millar, the edgy scot probably better known for Kickass (though the films are also just rather "free" interpretations of the source material, like Wanted - although that one did indeed barely have anything to do with the comic).

After that we will read "Supergod" by writer Warren Ellis, better known for Metropolitan. Supergod is not exactly "edgy", but it's very entertaining in its own over-the-top silly way.

Please note that I will not necessarily be able to post all of it fast and quick, so prepare for an irregular posting schedule.

Let's start now with Wanted.

I joined the German Association for Media Studies because I feel like a beggar asking my former advisor or an acquaintance for the newsletter every other week it contains academic job postings for media studies. Luckily, it is a bit cheaper with my current status now.

Have you ever joined an association?

Interestingly I was born in a part that is rather north but without many stereotypes on a national level. Now I live in northern Germany and I dislike the idea of ever moving south, like Munich, Freiburg, Stuttgart or Würzburg etc. Even Kaiserslautern would be too south. Italy or Vienna would be great, though.

Does anyone here engage in zone pushing? This is where you grow plants in climates that are too cold (or hot, but that's rare) for the species and employ various tricks to pull it off.

I planted this windmill palm tree about a month ago. In this pic the weather got down to around -7 C and was obviously quite snowy, and the palm was entirely unharmed save for the tips of a couple west-facing fronds that took the worst of the wind. For future winters, I am planning an evergreen bush to its west for wind protection as well as a removable snow cover. I haven't decided yet if I'll try to add supplemental heat with Christmas lights or similar.

I just skipped over it, it says that the contamination is highly variable depending on the place. Which might not be that surprising, when it comes to motorized traffic. What is the physics or chemistry behind vegetables and fruit grown close to city streets in comparison to rural streets? Are there simply more cars per day passing by that is the problem? Air flow? Or have the regulatory (EU) limits been lowered since the 1980s?

The city can "keep" contaminations better than rural areas?

What do you mean? It's exactly the same lol

>The city can "keep" contaminations better than rural areas?

Well you have to consider the dwelling time of a given pollutor. In a city you have a lot of pollutors on a small area, perpetually.
On a highway you have less pollutors at nights because less people are commuting and trucks are sleeping, plus people on the highway move faster through the area, wheras in a city it's usually stop and go, and acceleration costs more gas and thus produces more dirt than going straight at a constant speed like the autobahn. Some people going very fast might burn a lot of gas, but I out of a first impulse I would say a truck passing a crop field on a highway will leave less dirt along the 300 meter of field (plus higher dispersion because more room) than when it's moving the same distance in a city where the 300m might be two turns around a block, plus traffic lights and brake-accelerate cycles.

Then of course in cities you have all those areas where there might have been industry so the soil is already contaminated, or people using certain spots as designated trash dumps, all the dog and cat shit, trash everywhere (incl. smoking residues), and so on. There was a reason the plague could spread so well in cities.

Air flow that might have an impact or other variables that might impact chemical reactions. I'm not an expert in either hence the question.

Air flow in cities is definitely different than outside of cities.
In fact, city climate can be very different from rural climate, though that effect is more pronounced in bigger cities with higher buildings.

I've always had the idea in the back of my mind of visiting Swiss communes as if they were entities in themselves, and carefully documenting the visit.
I recently found some friends crazy enough to come along! I didn't want to flood the existing IWO thread, so I decided to make my own containment thread.


The rules :
-at each outing, the commune of the day will be drawn from this wikipedia list using a random number generator -> https://fr.wikipedia.org/[...]ommunes_du_canton_de_Vaud
-the designated commune cannot be refused under ANY circumstances
-during the visit, it is forbidden to leave the boundaries of the commune, otherwise the visit will stop
-you can't decide to continue visiting neighboring communes after the fact without having rerolled for a new and completely random commune
-if possible, only consume goods purchased within the commune during the visit
-draw up an exploration report when the commune is drawn, and complete it with photos and anecdotes at the end of the visit.
-Most of the visit are going to be made in the canton of Vaud
-Each time ther's a 20 percent chance that we're going to visit another entirely diffrent welsch canton randomely chosen: Geneva, Neuvchâtel, Fribourg, Valais, Jura or Bern.
-After the random canton have been selectionned, the commune will be chosen randomly using the same rules.

We're going to have a lot of fun!

The next commune is going to be the second largest city in Vaud (but the third urban area). With a bit less than 30'000 inhabitants. As the capital it's a lakeside city, just another lake.

Yverdon is one if not the oldest settled space in Switzerland. People have been living more or less non stop in the area of the city for 6000 years. Neolithic lakehouses traces, gallo-roman thermal baths and comercial town, burgundian dominion, Duchy of Savoy fortified border-town (there's a Savoyard castle in the dead center of town), Bernese regional bailiwick's capital, to independence and narcocapital of Welsch-Switzerland ant its shittiest dealer riggled train station. It's population has more than tripled since the 1940s, event though urban expension is recent, the city is in majority densly populated with big appartment complexes.

Yverdon is a cool place that I like to go to. It's home to the institution of the "maison d'Ailleurs", dedicated to science-fiction, utopias and extraordinary travels. It regroups one of the best museum of romandie, the biggest Sci-fi library collection in Switzerland and the Numerik Games festival, the best geek related festival in Switzerland. Foccused on real local game making and creative expression and avoiding most of the vices associated with those kind of conventions : more space dedicated to independents than corporation advertisment, open spaces (non bad smell!), family oriented, local creations and artists in the spotlight.

That is what my dancing experience prior to taking classes boils down to.

>that can make you appear overeager.


I dance a variety of street dance, apparently. Usually, these are cool? I'd say dancing is intimidating because it demands being comfortable and secure with your body and its movements.

>Generally, I think condemning artistic expression as unmanly is very negative for the well-being of men.


Yes, though that appears to be the case only for certain artistic expressions. Many men are and have been very successful artists without being perceived as unmanly, probably the majority of them.

But you being the dishonest prick you are of course had to go all in with, yes, whataboutism.
>b-but muh rich farmers!!!1

The thing people like you don't understand is that you are only playing into the hands of the big companies. Provided the link you posted is indeed legit, these kind of farmers are not the majority, but they will rise in share when the smaller ones are dying, and then everything will be consolidated into a few large conglomerates. And you are supporting that. And why? I don't know, hatred for life maybe.

Almost all Muslim peoples used Arabic script at some point. What surprised me is "why Belarusian wtf". I've never heard of Lipka Tatars and also I was confused because I've never heard of Tatars in Russia writing Russian language in Arabic script. They definitely used it for their own language though. But it's not unique if you think of it - Yiddish is a dialect of German written with Hebrew script, except it's not specially adapted, so we can't say that there is a designated "German Hebrew Alphabet".

I heard that Celtic languages are studied in school in Ireland and Wales. Seems like pissing against the wind to me because it's more convenient and natural for people there to speak English. Probably with very strong and unliberal government intervention it's possible to resurrect Celtic languages and then maintain it naturally because they're very different from English instead of being its dialect (like Scots), which would inevitably merge back into English. That would be interesting, another alive Indo-European branch.
They sound nice. For a while I thought that Tolkien used them as inspiration for Elvish language (turns out, it's Finnish).

Pairwise comparisons Irish & Gaelic & Welsh:

I'd wager there would have been mostly losses on the bricks side.

My great-great-grandmother forced close to 80% of her numerous children from multiple husbands and one extramarital affair to marry for economical gain. These marriages were mostly unhappy.

She then found ways to funnel the wealth she herself had gained by marriage and the wealth her less-favorite children had gained by marriage to her favorite children, mostly her youngest son, who died a wealthy man, despite being a drinker and an intense idiot who once gave away an entire house while drunk.

The Brick is adviced to rather stay single then to enter into a marriage arranged by his aunt.
