I see one, or maybe it's a mouse, climbing up on the bed.
Looks like the water is flowing in through the window, instead of rising up from the floorboards.

The painting date is often in the url, which ruins my sport because I used to like to guess the date of the drawings.
This painting has a very specific title, so there's a story I don't know. It's melodramatic without looking like a Harlequin book cover like that stupid knight one from rape day.
This is a pretty girl. She, the light, the wood, and the water are rendered wonderfully.
There is water coming in the window which means that standing on the bed won't save her from getting wet. She should take off those heavy outergarments to help her buoyancy.

I was looking her up: tarakan is the Russian word for cockroach. It was a later name given to her in books and stuff. She of course never went by that name. It's recorded that she later died of tuberculous but there's theories that instead she was forced to go into hiding as a nun with the name Dosifea.

Preparedness - a limerick
There once was a princess I knew
In a flood didn't know what to do
Build a bridge? Make a float?
Climb a hill? Buy a boat?
I know I can't swim. Canoe?

Eh. I read some pre-Lenin Turgenev last year. It was supposed to be about a guy hunting and fishing, but it was really about how everyone he met was utterly locked in a rigid caste system and its arcane rules dictated all of life.
Russia has always been fucked. There's a beauty in its people that comes from desolation.

I know! I told her to take it off back around #50.
When she takes off that heavy garment she'll still have a diaphanous nightie on. When the water comes it will cling to her form lovingly. The cold will excite her nipples, which will protrude, and the fair thin fabric will become see-through.

What translation are you reading? I recommend the one by John Ciardi. It's translated but kept in its original meter, and has extensive footnotes and chapter summaries--for those of us who need help with late medieval poetry.The Divine Comedy is truly one of those works that deserves to be called "great."

I'm unsure how far southeast the Achaemenids got. I'd have to look it up.
I do know that Cyrus [if you count him as an Achaemenid] toward the end of his reign concentrated NORTHeast (and north). That's what killed him. All the Iranian empires worried about the steppe. Just like China.

Flu shots are not vaccinations. They may work in building your immunity to one strain of flu, or they may not.
You still get one EVERY YEAR, and MAY still get sick.
The answer to Covid is herd immunity done naturally and China BioLabs nuked to hell to prevent such atrocities from occurring ever again.

I think there's a certain personality that can't stand
a life without constant drama (stimulation).
Even if safe, well-fed, well-housed, with a good employment opportunities, etc, etc, etc-
they simply can't take the win and live and happy and full-filled life.
They have to tear it all down or make misery or demand that everyone around them bend to their will and their vision of themselves as great personages in the world.
This personality type is a kind of sickness and forms the basis of the Democrat Party and the Leftists and Progressives in general.

Amusing anecdote about Fran: The Vikings are playing in MN, it's roughly 10 degrees out, and the play is sent in with a wide receiver. However, the wide receiver's lips are so cold, he can only mumble. Purportedly, Tarkenton said, "Okay, the play is, mumble mumble mumble" broke huddle and went for it.

I've often wondered when China is going to revert to their primary role in the rest of the ancient world as an Invading Horde.
Even if armed with pointed sticks, they would be a formidable force against any direct neighbors.
Future Warfare Plan for China:
1) Arm 500,000,000 men with pointed sticks
2) Point them to the East
3) Give them the general orders:
"Keep marching until you meet the Atlantic Ocean along the way, steal what you want, kill all the men, rape all the women."
It'd probably take a bunch of nukes to stop them.

Yeah been listening to the revolutions podcast and he's covering the
Russian revolutions and just finished with 1905. What I find most
interesting is that it seems clear that the gulag system and such is not
something that was from Stalin and the other commies. It's just what
the Russians did even in tzarist Russian. But the gulags were just
taking what was always done in Russia to its dissidents and turning it
up to commie.

"25 Mhz! Staggering. Unimaginable."
Remember the 50MHz 486DX? I think that clock speed was too fast for the motherboards, and they had a lot of problems. You could get a 33 or 40 MHz DX, but the 50MHz ended up being a DX2 (along with a 66MHz). The chip ran at twice the MB speed in the DX2. Chips these days run much higher multipliers.

Well, we weren't but it will fit here, you'll see.
When I worked at a large NW-based Defense and Aerospace company the management wanted everyone upgraded to 486's or Macs.
We had one old...I mean ancient IBM 286 that we kept stashed away. It had one purpose, to run one model. The model's software was too extensive to rewrite to a newer system so we kept it. Every time the IT guys would come around we'd have to hide it.
We used that model for an Army program and damned if it didn't work in SPADES!!! It was a battle simulation and in every test case, we'd load it and run it and the results were astonishing.
Made the company a heck of a lot of money with that too.
I wonder what ever happened to it?

Exile - internal - was the typically harshest punishment meted out to political criminals. Check the histories of all the Bolsheviks whose names seem familiar. Most of them did internal exile.
Which amounted to isolation, living in a small town in Siberia or the Far East. Not saying it was admirable, but completely different than labor (death, for many) camps.
And even exile was "leaky". Many famous revolutionaries drifted away from their exile locations, back to society, without difficulty, especially in the latter years of the monarchy.
Weimar Germany had "political police" (many European countries did). Most of the early Gestapo personnel were drawn from this group (including Mueller, the chief). But the difference between Weimar political police and the Nazi Gestapo was so great one can't really even compare them.

442 439 Hard to believe Radar was the only one to make it the entire run of MASH.
I think there may've been a few episodes where he missed, maybe due to a contract dispute or something, but he was in the movie and was in the final episode.

I read somewhere that Gary Burghoff was an almighty asshole to work with.

Radar had a gimp hand that they hid.

A defense company I worked for had a in-house modal dynamic analysis program that ran on IBM mainframes over 3270s. They never allowed anyone to rewrite as they were shutting down the mainframes and going to 'NIX systems.
So they put a single 486 down in the tunnels of my building that ran a mainframe emulator that we interfaced with a 3270 emulator to run the software. It still interfaced with tape drives located somewhere in the US because no one ever rewrote the IO when computers had more than a few hundred kb available.
One day I couldn't finish a simulation and when I called the techs they said it was because the robots that move the tapes forgot where origin was and the building was snowed in and no one could get to it to do the daily reset.

No, it's a literal statement of fact. She's in a cell. The water is rising, rats are attacking. She stands on the bed, her bosom heaving. In fact it looks like the camera caught it right in mid-heave.

So there's that.
Obviously that relates to epidemic management to date, not overall.
Let's see if Don makes any snide remarks about Newsom's $$$ for illegal aliens. Probably won't.
And I wonder if there isn't some technical, legal, or tax ploy the feds could pull to block this outrage.
Because the peculiar and disastrous kind of passive cluelessness of the bulk of CA voters won't even react to this outrage.

MASH wasn't about Korea either; it was an indictment of the other war in S.E. Asia, Vietnam.

I liked the movie and growing up watched MASH and laughed. But trying to watch them again I just want to kick Alan Alda's smarmy ass. I can't watch the Waltons today without wanting kick John Boy's gay ass. Most of TV really sucked but we were too dumb to know it.

Spent an entire year playing that game, building up my characters and defeating the evil wizard Mangar.
Second favorite was The Curse of Monkey Island II: LeChucks Revenge.
Third is of course Zork: The Great Underground Empire.
Infocom, Interplay and Lucas Arts made some of the best games ever.

Had a high school classmate from Vietnam in the early 80's that said he couldn't believe all the hardcore swearing they allowed on that show by the locals.

Part of it may be that we weren't marinating in "wokeness" like we are today, so we weren't as put off when it would pop up back then.

Unfortunately, that's not unusual in Africa. When we were having people stay in hotels in Nigeria, for instance, $600/night in hellhole rooms were par for the course. Rates are even worse in Angola. Anywhere that oil guys were staying at went for confiscatory nightly rates.

Yeah? There's a Spanish catholic mystic who is supposed to have received his call to The Word when he was seducing a lady of the court, and she pulled back her elegant gown to reveal a breast eaten away by cancer.

"She eventually was arrested in Livorno, Tuscany, by Alexei Grigoryevich Orlov, who had been sent by Empress Catherine II to retrieve her. Orlov seduced her, then lured her aboard a Russian ship and took her to Russia in February 1775. She was imprisoned in the Peter and Paul Fortress, where she died of tuberculosis that December. She was buried in the graveyard of the fortress."

Baric JAN 4, 2020 - ... he said. "They have many of the best virologists in the world there that are working on this. And my gut feeling is we're going to see a showcase of what they've accomplished in 20 years."
