Turkey is facing calls to stop oil shipments to Israel, despite not owning the pipeline or producing the oil.

The Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline, which transports oil from Azerbaijan to Turkey, is under scrutiny as pro-Palestine activists argue the oil is fuelling Israel’s military actions in Gaza and are urging Turkey to halt the supply.

"We don't own the pipeline, BP does," one Turkish official said.

Having others think your romantic partner is attractive could be flattering to you or make you feel proud. The “radiating beauty” effect doesn’t always apply; a partner’s attractiveness can cause negative feelings, resulting in decreased desire and greater distancing, suggests a new study. byteseu.com/399628/ #Science

#Valheim today gave a feeling of tangible progress, with @skyfire747 and I taking on multiple Burial Chambers without dying!! We explored a land to the north and found an odd trader called Hildir. We built a portal so we can return whenever we care to browse her wares, or just hang out at her cozy little camp. I got my first set of Troll hide armour too, so it looks like Skyfire and I have matching blue PJ’s with capes!!

No, that’s not our house. That’s just the front gate!!

We dug out a canal and built a bridge over it so we could sail north and south while still being able to drive carts into the base. Every vessel in #Valheim has a mast so if you want to sail under it, the bridge needs to be quite tall. Our first bridge was fine when our only water vessel was a crude raft, but when @skyfire747 built a Karve, we discovered that it would need to be taller. This resulted in a complete redesign that has three flights of stairs on each side with two high walkways that cross some 15m over the canal.

It rains in #Valheim. At least at Rivalund in the meadows, it rains quite a lot. Sometimes just a light shower. Something a mighty thunderstorm.

What ya need is a mod that (a) gives ya a boat with a propeller(s) instead of a sail or (b) offers drawbridges. The latter is a bonus for moats, too. 🧐


Okay, so, I was thinking about more specific Discord server. As for now, I have a friends-hangout kind of server, but I want something more personal. Absolutely, totally, 100% my, about my artworks and my projects. I feel more comfortable sharing with a small group of devoted followers.

If you feel you want to join, please, comment. I kindly ask you not to perform pity-joining. Even if I have just one person on the server, I want them to have genuine interest.

“Are you experiencing some toxic masculinity sir?” 😄 Might have to hang onto that one.

The past rising

Lidoriki, #Greece

The remains of a house in the sunken village of Kallios are revealed due to the receding water level of Mornos artificial lake. Over the past two years the level of the lake, which serves as a water supply to Athens, has receded by more than 35 metres. In 1980 when the lake was made by constructing a dam in the Mornos River, 80 houses along with a church and primary school in the village of Kallio were evacuated and submerged.

My brother & I have been playing #Unrailed. It's really fun and very hard! It has #Overcooked vibes.

We made it to the space biome but realized we've progressed too quickly & haven't optimized our train enough. Decided to restart & try to get more of the bonus bolts & make better train choices this time.

Works perfectly on #Linux.

graydon2 | PERQ


#retrocomputing

Reader: the modern Mac is not "a copy of an Alto". I mean it kinda is. But more recently than that, it's really a copy of a PERQ.

in reply to Emmanuel Florac

I remember being really REALLY excited about the PERQ 3, but then it died.

My memory is very fuzzy about the hardware details, but there was a group at U of Calgary when I was in 2nd year there who were building a new programming system named Jade (*) who may have evaluated PERC workstations for their project.

(*) not to be confused with at least two, or maybe three, other more recent projects also named JADE, nor the accounting system named JADE.

I'm not sure I understand... Is it meant to provide anonymity or protect from LLM data harvesting like Nightshade dies for artists?
