The long-lost remains of King Alfred the Great have been found buried under a car park, investigators claim.
Alfred died in 899, and his bones were repeatedly moved. He was buried in Winchester CathedralĀ until 1110, when his remains were moved to Winchester's Hyde Abbey, where they were interred before the high altar between the bodies of his wife and son. The abbey was demolished after the dissolution of the monasteries in 1539, and the place was left in ruins. In 1866, during construction of a workhouse on the site, the English antiquarian John Mellor excavated the area, found what he thought were Alfred's bones and had them reburied at nearby St. Bartholemewās Church. But in 2013, when archaeologists exhumed and carbon-dated the bones from St. Bartholomewās churchyard, they proved to date from over 200 years after Alfredās death - sparking Graham's interest and search. He said: "Whoeverās bones they were, they werenāt Alfredās. So, I decided to discover what happened to them. "The quest has taken me 13 years.ā
shut up they did not find another goddamn king under another goddamn car park
@qqueenofhades look, another

"app" is without a doubt one of the deepest evils of the human race. "hello. would you like to be expected to have a bespoke piece of software for every single Brand you might theoretically interact with in a day" <- statement dreamed up by someone who should be drawn and quartered
"It's better in the app!"
That's embarrassing. Make your website better
āTwas brillig, and the slithy toves A stately pleasure-dome decreed. And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
they fuck you up your mum and dad two vast and trunkless legs of stone i do not like it, sam i am as small as a world and as large as alone
God moves in a mysterious way:
He gives his harness bells a shake.
What will survive of him is love
If he should die before he wake.
I had a dream, which was not all a dream. See in her cell sad Eloisa spread, Lookād up in perfect silence at the stars. I shut my eyes and all the world drops dead.
A sudden blow: the great wings beating still Rage, rage against the dying of the light. Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun, I work all day, and get half-drunk at night.
If I should die, think only this of me, Between what I see and what I say, In this short Life that only lasts an hour Shall I compare thee to a summerās day?
Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead Westron wynde, when wilt thou blow? Tie up the knocker, say Iām sick, Iām dead. I learn by going where I have to go.
But I am done with apple-picking now, I thank whatever gods may be; I never saw a purple cow, I think that I shall never see.
I have a rendezvous with Death, She walks in beauty like the night ā Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, So on we worked, and waited for the light.
Thank you @mugwomps this is the brain equivalent of one of those massages where they hit you

explain your gender in 10 words or less without using boring words like āmaleā, āfemaleā, ānonbinaryā, āmasculineā, āfeminineā orĀ āandrogynousā.
go!
I need to stop replying to āhow do you make friends in your 30s?ā threads because all my answers boil down to āyou have to want to know people instead of have friendsā and I donāt think people wanna hear that
Itās like. People can tell if you donāt really like or connect with them. If you arenāt truly enamored with someone you will have a hard time coming up with activities to do together to deepen the friendship. Because you donāt really like that person that much.
No nuance: do you like kids?

So, Crusader Kings 3 is on sale right now. Like, violently on sale. It's one of my very favorite perennial gaming love affairs that I want to get more people I know into, but even certain people who I generally consider my superiors in 4x-ish games don't vibe with it, so I really don't want to guess at whom to inflict it upon. ("Inflict" is a very specifically-chosen verb here; its learning curve is a fucking cliff. A very rewarding cliff, but I can't even watch most youtubers who play it for more than a few minutes because they're ALL kinda bad at it. They miss SO much low-hanging political fruit because they think people don't matter. They do matter, in Crusader Kings.)
However.
If you harbor any Paradox Interactive (and/or and especially CK-specific, because it's a lot more RPG-gamer-friendly than other Paradox titles) curiosity, I may wish to indulge it. The first two (if any) people who comment on this post in the next ~12 hours while the sale is active with their steam name, I will gift a copy of the game to (you might have to accept a friend request from me first? I'm not actually sure. But I will try.)
Come join me in alt-historical absurdity.
(ETA: oh dear, no, this sale is going to expire while I'm at work tomorrow and I'm afraid I can't do anything then. I'll try to check this post in the morning (so like... 6 hours from now) so I can make good on the second offer if anyone wants to take it, but I'm sorry in advance if I can't. I love everyone who's bothered to read this far in some way, but not in a $50 gift to someone I don't SUPER personally know way.)
For all that the 1800s etiquette guides are--obviously--derangedly sexist from a modern perspective? They're also mindblowing in how casually they will assert things that MODERN DAY CONSERVATIVES would scream and cry and shit their pants about.
"People back then always married young it's natural!!!" Every single 1800s guide I've ever met casually mentions that, of course, you really shouldn't get married before you're at least 20, and waiting until 25 is usually better.
Or, like. Okay here's a long segment:
Just firmly going "it is crazy sexist to blame The Wife for overspending when thirty seconds of asking questions will immediately establish that her husband was outright lying to her about how much money they had. Talk to your wife like a normal person."
Or--okay, here. A section on being honest and not writing love letters in secret, because that's usually a good sign that there's something untoward going on....
....except that he then immediately acknowledges that sometimes, the reason you're hiding this from your parents is that your parents suck. That there are parents who frankly have not earned the right to approve or disapprove of your partner.
(I realize the phrasing there sounds a lot less strong than my summary, but--trust me on this. When you're familiar with the narrative voice of these kinds of books, this passage is downright radical. The mere acknowledgement that if you treat your kids badly, it's your own damn fault when they don't talk to you? I've genuinely never seen that before in this genre. Don't freak out over "properly trained", either. It's just a linguistic shift--at the time, "training" was used the way we would say "raising" a child today. )
"Delete all the nudes and sexts after a breakup or you're a piece of shit" has been the standard expectation since EIGHT. TEEN. EIGHTY. FIVE.
"Men and women being friends with each other is literally normal. Don't be a controlling freak."
Anyway I was wrong the publishing date is actually 1882 so like.
"If you have to abuse a child to keep order in your classroom then you're a bad teacher."
So like @ the modern Republican party, are the "traditional family values" in the fucking room with us right now--

I thought I needed a new laptop but nope, youtube is slowing down your PC if you have adblock on on any open tab...
To be very clear about this: CPUs aren't magical devices that can operate forever. They generate heat. They wear out over time. This happens faster when they're operating near capacity. This is not just an attempt to inconvenience you; this is an attempt to damage your property.
For the "crime" of not wanting to be tracked/have ads pissed into your eyeballs 24/7.
Even if you've paid for the "privilege" of the latter.
Fuck Google, and I hope they get sued into oblivion over this.
i see everyone in the notes talking about newpipe but nobody's talking about youtube alternatives for desktop
IF YOU USE A DESKTOP PC OR LAPTOP, TRY INVIDIOUS
https://invidious.io/
it is a free, open-source alternative YouTube front-end. in addition to not having ads, it has other great QoL features like a download button. try one of the several instances on that link up there ^^^^
so i was super pissed and concerned about this but i have just discovered that while this is true, it is apparently only true for google chrome users. i just tested this by having ten tabs open in firefox playing ten different youtube videos at the same time and my cpu usage spiked to 25% as the videos were loading and then dropped back down to 10% as they played.
if you ever needed another reason to switch to a different browser, this is it.
solution: never open a youtube link again ever. run every link through ytdl and watch your shiny new local copy instead :)c
also yes free yourself from chrome while you still can
i donāt need to put my mental disorders in my bio you can easily infer that thereās something wrong with me
yall are so fucking weird about gnc people. a woman wears a suit and she's "conforming to the patriarchy". a man wears a skirt and he's Secretly A Trans Egg. have you considered It's Fabric

Hey hey, as a librarian, can I just say donāt pace yourself at the library. I get a lot of customers saying āoh I shouldnāt get too many books out at onceā but like you should!!!! Max out your card, take everything we have on a subject youāre interested in, make a book fort in your home. We love that shit! It doesnāt matter if you read them or not; just take them for an adventure and bring them back whenever theyāre due!
For public libraries, one of the ways we secure funding year to year is lending. Governments donāt want to fund more books if theyāre not being used and the way we measure use is by issues. Regardless of whether you read it or not, whether you have it for a day or a month, if you issue it to your library card, we get the stats! It makes the library look good!
Help your local library; get books out even if you know you canāt read them all!
