Finished this yesterday and all I can say is that the Soviet Union’s survival after the German invasion is amazing. Stalin didn’t help the situation at all.

This is how it’s going to end....

I feel like I’m not the only one who finds his magisterial obtuseness is completely off-putting.

I’ve given up all hope of anyone pointing it out. It’s not worth the fight and literally nothing worthwhile would result.

He just sat there at the end of the driveway and stared at me until I made my way inside. It was a little disconcerting to say the least.

“For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith.”

Romans 12:3 NASB

His belligerent insubordination has so thoroughly poisioned the well around here that no one can stand to be around him anymore. It’s as if the powers that be are simply waiting him out in hopes he’ll get tired and leave before they have to fire the chap.

When we think of 3D technology, we don’t often think of the sixteenth century books. However, printers have found ways to creative interactive texts since printing began. For example, Euclid’s The Elements of Geometrie included shapes that buyers could cut out and glue onto the pages of their book. These cut-outs would then form the three-dimensional shapes described in the text, like the pyramid above!

Euclid, The Elements of Geometrie of the Most Auncient Philosopher Euclide of Megara (Imprinted at London: by John Daye, 1570). Q. 516.2 Eu2:E1570.

I’m not completely sure how I’d feel about this. Your digital footprint isn’t really all that reflective of who you are in your entirety and short of some neurosynaptic implant that can record, translate, and broadcast your every thought in a continuous stream it can’t give you much of an idea. With that being said, I’m insufficiently exhibitionistic for this to ever be a concept I’d feel comfortable with. And if I had my way it would all disappear after a week anyways...
