Razib Khan explains through the details here: https://www.razibkhan.com/p/the-genetic-origin-of-the-indo-europeans

You may need to click 'no thanks' on the annoying subscribe to substack screen. And definitely avoid anything he has to say on a topic other than genetics. He goes from reasoned and reasonable to choking on hot garbage the moment he steps outside genetics.

And the Hittites too!

Pre-print from David Reich et al provides new details and solid dates for the emergence of the Yamnaya, likely proving Indo-Anatolian hypothesis.

The Yamnaya archaeological complex appeared around 3300BCE across the steppes north of the Black and Caspian Seas, and by 3000BCE reached its maximal extent from Hungary in the west to Kazakhstan in the east. To localize the ancestral and geographical origins of the Yamnaya among the diverse Eneolithic people that preceded them,...

Could blocked magazines no longer appear in Random Post and Random Thread sidebars?

A lot of the larger abandoned magazines are just spam pools now. I don't see their posts in my feed, but I don't like that the two sidesbars of random posts and threads are now just spam advertising sidebars. I triedblocking the magazines, but doesn't that prevent the posts from showing in those sidebars.... #kbinMeta

One of the many things I loved about Taiwan was that people leave the left side of the escalator free for those who want to walk up or down.

There's one single file line of people standing on the escalator. Even during the evening commute, there's a single file line snaking back down into the station. But then as you get close there's a much smaller line to the left moving much quicker of every who plans to walk up.

It's so civilized.

US residents: What big domestic policy improvements have the american people won from congress in the last 30 years?

Interpret improvements as you like. For me it's any large scale reforms or legislative packages designed to improve the country for all or see to the material interests of the majority without overly benefiting the elite....
