Never heard of Transylvania before?
fun fact Transylvania literally means “the place on the other side of the forest” in Latin
Ah, Sidney must mean the place on the other side of the Bush then
Which is weird, because when you go there, you’ll find that you’re standing on this side of the forest…
Siebenbürgen
Sechs! Wait, are we haggling right now?
A lot of the region there was settled by Saxons in the middle ages but I’ve no idea why they called it Siebenbürgen

Probably because it was between seven mountains? (Sieben Berge/bergen?)

Or it’s from guarantor (Bürge)? Ginge me a sec, I’m intrigued now.

Unclear. Burgen, Berge, Bürgen, Stühle (?), lots of possibilities.

(Wikipedia)

Die Herkunft des deutschen Namens Siebenbürgen ist nicht abschließend geklärt. Vermutungen gehen dahin, ihn auf sieben von Siebenbürger Sachsen gegründete Städte zurückzuführen: Hermannstadt, Kronstadt, Bistritz, Schäßburg, Mühlbach, Broos und Klausenburg (in dieser Reihe wird fälschlicherweise oft Mediaș genannt, das aber erst 1534 vom Markt zur Stadt erhoben wurde). Auch die Sieben Stühle, Einheiten der eigenen Gerichtsbarkeit – jeder Stuhl besaß einen Königsrichter, der alleine dem ungarischen König unterstellt war –, sind möglicherweise Teil der Namensgebung. Daneben stehen ältere Herleitungen vom Fluss Zibin (rumänisch Cibin, ungarisch Szeben), nach dem wiederum Hermannstadt (rumänisch Sibiu, lateinisch Cibinium) benannt worden sei, das als traditionelle Hauptstadt seinen Namen dann der Region als ganzes gegeben habe.[6] Walter Schuller dachte mit Verweis auf eine Reihe von Parallelen im deutschen Sprachraum an eine wörtliche Deutung als (bei den) sieben Bürgen, als die „toponymische (Über-) Betonung eines für ihr [d. h. das siebenbürgisch-sächsische] Exemtionsgebiet essentiellen Rechtsverhältnisses“. Die Umdeutung auf sieben Burgen oder auch sieben Berge sei dann schon früh wegen der Lautähnlichkeit der Wörter erfolgt.[7]

Der Name ist zunächst in deutschen Quellen aus dem 13. Jahrhundert als Septum urbium, Terra septem castrorum und ähnlichen Varianten verzeichnet.[8] In deutscher Niederschrift hieß es Ende des 13. Jahrhunderts erstmals Siebenbuergen und bezeichnete damals nur den Bereich der Sieben Stühle als administrative Einheiten oder Gebietskörperschaften der Hermannstädter Provinz. Erst später hat sich der Begriff räumlich erweitert, umfasste schließlich denselben Raum wie Erdély und Ardeal und ersetzte dadurch die frühere Lehnübersetzung von Ultrasilvania Überwald (13. und 14. Jahrhundert).

Thank you for the research. I’ve been there once, mostly around Kronstadt / Brasov and it’s really beautiful and a lot of historical buildings still exist
That wasn’t research. I was interested and opened Wikipedia. The family of a friend comes from somewhere in that region and he showed me pictures. Those were pretty breathtaking.
Another fun fact, Pennsylvania means “the other end of the pencil”.
The business end or the oopsie poopsie side of it?
Dealer’s choice.

Hmmm…

… … .

Nope.

Note: a few of the more authoritarian ones moved to the breakaway state of Transnistria.
Transsexual Transylvania maybe? Dr Frank-N-Further is kind of cute.
I know this face, but it’s been a while. Time feels warped. Like… I can almost remember the name, but then my brain takes a jump to the left.
“That guy, who’s in all the stuff”
In all the stuff, like a Curry? I could go for a Curry right now.

After a few pages of scrolling it appears that they have sport.

The furrowed brow on the actual skull always gets me. Like how do you take it seriously that person would look so stupid

This is the only correct answer here.

I am simply here to spread the word of anime to the less fortunate. I think astrophysics and anime go hand in hand, like a sword and shield. Like man and woman, as G-d Himself intended for all of us when he went on that drunken bender 6000 years ago today. You don’t think that fucker wasn’t watching hentai? We’re like his 2D, you ever think of that? Like, he’s in something more than 3D, so we’re like his 2D, like I just fucking said!! And he could still get it up and bust all kind of holy nuts up in them virgin guts on St. Patrick’s Day way back when. That’s like jerkin’ it to Yoko Littner. Am I really so different, G-d!?!

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)ಠ_ಠLegislated mandates in sentencing can create some awful tyrannies. I think we need a human dimension to sentencing because I believe that leads, overall, to more humane and constructive corrective value. As long as there is some oversight watching out for unreasonable abusers and a channel to deal with tha t, then I think we are better off in the long run. The law can’t anticipate or solve every problem in advance and trying to design it to be that way would make it too unwieldy, burdensome, and in some cases potentially wildly inhumane. Three strikes laws are examples of such failure in the past.

You think he’s going to solve everything, but it gets so bad. It’s good, but it suffers from some mediocre tricks of convenience that are really annoying. It’s pretty unique, except for the pretty predictable ending. However, the last episode ties things together well enough that I can forgive it for that.

Each episode is kind of dumb and strings you along with info you couldn’t possibly know. Lots of exposition. The only reason I’m saying eh is the ending ties stuff together decently and is emotionally effective. I also liked how almost every episode had a large time jump. There’s also a cool implementation of how the internet could be in the future. It just sucked. Perhaps 4th worst show I’ve ever seen.

[repeat] [MC Shan:] Me sitting round cool with my dibby dibby girl Police kDetroit Metal City Some say this is There are a couple viable explanations that I have mused about. The first one is the most obvious… Namely that humanity survived into the future without help the first time through… Perhaps just barely. Perhaps only after great loss and long eras of suffering. In this scenario there is no paradox. Why would the future survivors care to reach back in time and aid their struggling ancestors? These humans were apparently masters of time. Maybe from their perspectPeople seem to be overlooking the deviations from the biblical story as sort of random ignorance on the part of the filmakers. But I think these deviations are coherently intentional … Scott’s take on this film seems to have been to cast the plague miracles pretty much as if they were coincidental natural events. And Moses’ conversations with God were hallucinatory episodes triggered by a head injury. These hard to believe events culminated in a rebellion by the Hebrews and provoked the one remarkable event that is hard to deny historically: namely, Ramses allowing the Hebrews to leave Egypt. Perhaps Ridley Scott is saying, in essence, "Eventually the story of the Exodus got turned into a miraculous mythology. But here, dear viewer, is a plausible rendering of how it all may have really happened."ive of being able to see through all of time, everyone to them is in the “present” (as was apparent in the tesseract construct). Perhaps they chose to reach back in time to render aid to fellow humans out of compassion, to save a lot of lives – much as we might render aid to less fortunate people today.the Metalocalypse of anime. It’s not. They go in the opposite direction. DMC is about a kid moving to Toky who wanted to be an indie pop act, but for some unexplained reason wound up in a death metal band that he hates. And the comedy comes from him stumbling into situations that are way over his head. He’s touted as a metal god who mostly lives up to the reputation by accident. It’s sometimes really funny. It was obviously cheaplyYour accusations here are way overblown. Your assertion that there is some sort of quality judgement about one music style over another (akin to racism as you imply above) is just not there. She simply chose a music style that she knew that he did not enjoy. That was the point of the message. You should not force other people to listen to your music because they might not enjoy doing so. Comparing this to Guantanamo torture is just way off base. “Gross overstep”? Hardly! Finally, there’s no way he would have to sit and listen to the music for 20 hours straight. He was probably given several sessions to attend… probably something like 5 days in a row for 4 hours each. You just need to wind down a bit and take a look at this again in a couple days. Maybe you’re going through finals and are really stressed out or something? made, because they only animate the part of the screen where things are happening. Sometimes, most of the screen is totally black. And each episode is only ~14 minutes, including a 1.5 minute OP, and most episodes are split into two stories. So the pace is blinding.
