"The weight of justice and the omnipresent risk of indebtedness and seizure may have shaped the very profile of consumption in later medieval society, pushing consumption toward small, portable objects of high value. ... It may help us understand why there was a fashion revolution, rather than a furniture revolution, in fourteenth-century Europe."

I am really happy with how Lemmy works, as a more focused place for discussion in general.
I wonder why I have to use Mastodon too, though, for just the odd feature not in Lemmy. It looks like Lemmy is only a small step away from being a better Mastodon too - support posting outside of communities, and subscribing to accounts.
BTW, in a network with #NomadicIdentity, using both #Mastodon and #Lemmy (and #Peertube, etc.) wouldn't be an issue.

I do not need a wind-up beetle that crawls around. But I will show it to you because it's cute and cool and maybe you do know someone who needs one and now you know they exist.
If these were life-size (much smaller) and had wind up action... well then. Well then I wouldn't have been able to resist.

Weird! I was looking for beetle miniatures for a game just yesterday!
How big are they? The site doesn’t seem to say. I am looking for some to use as giant beetle creatures alongside 28mm-scale figurines, and the ones I have found so far are either lackluster or prohibitively expensive.

May 16, 2009. NASA astronauts Andrew Feustel and John Grunsfeld perform EVA3 from Space Shuttle Atlantis to make repairs to the Hubble Space Telescope.
1. Remove the obsolete Corrective Optics Space Telescope Axial Replacement (COSTAR) and install the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS).
2. Repair the Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS). Replace 4 circuit boards and install a new power supply.
This was the 5th and final Hubble repair mission.

May 16, 2009. The Hubble Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) was not designed to be serviced or repaired in space, so the task was considered one of the most challenging of the mission. There was uncertainty and trepidation among managers on the ground who were prepared to see unexpected issues arise during the complicated repair work.
But astronauts Grunsfeld and Feustel make it look easy, completing the repair tasks in EVA3 in 6:36 hours.

Cerco una versione digitale del libro "La Rivoluzione Palestinese del 7 Ottobre" dello scrittore e poeta Filippo Kalomenìdis.
Ovviamente piratata.
Non ho intenzione di pagare per leggere un libro ideologico che romanticizza la resistenza palestinese, e che non tenga in conto nessuno degli aspetti reazionari legati all'uso dell'islam come perno dell'azione politica.
Quindi, interesse di leggere quel libro: abbastanza.
Voglia e disponibilità di pagare per leggerlo: zero.
