You are describing a one party state. Kind of optimistic to assume that if you manage to hand all of the power to one organization, with no real opposition, that it won’t be corrupted (more than it already is).
It’s mp3 quality through an old tiny battery driven DAC…
I’m pretty sure that using the term “Semite” in any other context than the modern interpretation of “antisemitic”, meaining prejudice against Jews, stopped being a thing roughly around the same time that we stopped treating the bible as an authority on the classification of human races. Same with Hamites and Japhetites.
4·9 months agonation……thing
we prefer the term “sui generis geopolitical entity” ;)
It always bothers me when it says “no smoking” first and then “safety first” second. If you are serious about safety first, put it first!
The two main sources of the bible are known as E and J. The Elohist and the Jahwist. The Elohist named so because in text believed to come from this school god is referred to as El or the plural Elohim(like a royal plural). In the Jahwist source god is referred to as Yahweh.
Both El and Yahweh were gods in the Canaanite pantheon.
Or it is because Genesis is copy pasted together from two slightly different original sources. One where man and woman were created on the same day and one where Eve was created after Adam.
No because the population is not even close to being uniformly distributed geographically.
According to an unsourced claim on Wikipedia, “repetition is the essential comedic device”
26·1 year ago“Hundred” in Germanic Europe used to be 120 before the Romans came and introduced their “century” with a value of 100. This is still known as “the long hundred”
12, 60, 120, 360 are the first superior highly composite numbers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superior_highly_composite_number
These number divides neatly into integer parts in many ways for their size.
They are also the basis of many pre decimal counting systems, some of which are still around. 360 degrees in a circle. 12 hours in a day.
The Babylonian’s used base 60. We still do for time as you pointed out. The minute refers to a minute(as in small) part of something. The “second” is the “second minute”. Ie a minute divided into minutes. This system is also used for geodetic cordinates. Where we have arc minutes and seconds.

Sorry about deleting the post. Couldn’t remeber if beehaw was one of the instances with rules again dissenting opinions after some time away from Lemmy (I’m pretty sure there was one which would rather be without).
But I think you managed to quote most of it.
Being wanted/needed should be viewed in relation to everything else you could do with the resources available is my point. Not only your particular hobby/interest.
And I still maintain that if you want pure art, you are better off lowering your expectations for professionalism and find people who do it for reasons that are not financial.
