Not seeing the moon's name (Phobos) right away (I see it now in the second, annotated image) encouraged me to take the jump, and find out about its (geologically) imminent doom. In the July 3, 2022 APOD:
"Phobos orbits so close to Mars - about 5,800 kilometers above the surface compared to 400,000 kilometers for our Moon - that gravitational tidal forces are dragging it down. In perhaps 50 million years, Phobos is expected to disintegrate into a ring of debris."

Made some hot sauce with mostly store bought habaneros. I would have preferred to use only my ghost or carolina reaper peppers, but the deer ate them. I have no idea how they could stand it, but we had a very dry summer and apparently they were desperate for food.

Hi all. I'm creating a wiki of public policies for the enabling and support of worker cooperatives and would like to adopt the evergreen tree logo that we have for social.coop (social-coop-media.ams3.cdn.dig…) but could not find anything in our online resources about licenses.
Does anyone know where the original one comes from/who made it?
Thank you and blessings.

It feels like we haven't done a Future Proof Plays stream in a long-ass time, but we're back! Gregory is live playing John William Evelyn's "The Collage Atlas" over on Twitch, a game with art that seems to be entirely pen and ink. I'm a sucker for that aesthetic. I still think about The Mind's Eclipse regularly, and I played it years ago. Anyway, come hang out with us!
Italian 'sì', Spanish 'sí' and many more Romance words for "yes" come from Latin 'sīc', which meant "so; thus; like that". In Popular Latin it got an extra meaning: "yes", born out of the sense "like that", i.e. "like you said".
French 'oui' has a completely different origin. It comes from Old French 'oïl', a univerbation of 'o il', literally "yes, it (is/does/has etc.)".
'O' stemmed from Latin 'hoc' (this), which became 'òc' (yes) in Occitan, whose name was derived from this very word.
