Two-horse chariot races (bigae) were held in the Campus Martius, the area of Rome named for Mars, after which the right-hand horse of the winning team was transfixed by a spear, then sacrificed. The horse’s head (caput) and tail (cauda) were cut off and used separately in the two subsequent parts of the ceremonies: two neighborhoods staged a fight for the right to display the head, and the freshly bloodied cauda was carried to the Regia for sprinkling the sacred hearth of Rome.

Alrighty then

One more reason to love Kyoto ❤️

Funny thing you should say that because IIRC there actually is a Starbucks on the left right around the corner (though with a traditional facade at least). Source: wife and I were there last year.

Inshallah he gets some shuteye soon

I think I had that one as well. With the fireworks and everything? Yikes dawg…

Excellent suggestion and a good way to keep social media consumption in check.

Well this is awkward

This is a work of art

I appreciate the input, thanks!

Yep, dat werkte, dank! Maf dat dat niet standaard is.

OP, if this is OC, do you like BirdBuddy? I was considering it as a Christmas gift.

Beautiful shot!

Much appreciated Bucky, I’ll give that a shot and will report back.

Edit: worked like a charm!

Potentially related, not sure: does anyone know how I can get touchscreen scrolling working in Firefox on a fresh Ubuntu 23.10 install? Currently it’s just selecting text and it’s driving me up the proverbial wall. Googling was unsuccessful.

ublock origin is still one step ahead of them (at least on firefox) but you may need to go into the extension settings and purge then update all your filter lists.

Well said, fartsparkles

Some of them are like finaldestination shit where you literally weren’t doing anything wrong or risky and then bam, life’s over for you by sheer astronomical-chance happenstance

I still think about the one where a guy who works on an airport touches a floor fan that just so happens to be wired wrong or something. And that’s it, that’s the fluke, unexpected, undignified, awful, freak accident end of his life. All his hopes and dreams cut short because he touched a fan in passing. And then a clip of his death ends up on the internet for a bunch of cringe lords to crack lame jokes at. I can’t really shake that one.

Bit out of the loop here. Can any kind soul clue me in on why there’s an uptick in beef stroganoff posts recently?

Grrrregnant!
