• Draft

  Because this book was published in 2007, it's likely that digitized newspapers were not as widely available as they are in 2023. Nonetheless, in the appendix it can be seen that she tables roughly 150 attacks from all types of breeds between 1864 and 1899. Roughly 10 of these attacks are attributed to bulldog-types. 10 attacks in 36 years doesn't sound that bad, right? Unfortunately, Delise is working with a... Source: about 1 year ago

• Journal of the Tantrik Order

  I was going to email this to RE but it came up with a pretty quick google search, and I thought other folks might be interested in it too. Its a copy of Vol. 5, No. 1 of the Journal of the Tantrick Order. I think this is the same one described by Robert in the latest episode. If anyone wants to look for more info, you could try searching the loc.gov website (it's down for me right now) or directly emailing a... Source: about 1 year ago

• If we lose the Internet Archive, we're screwed – The Statesman

  I wonder if there needs to be a cultural equivalent, where a repository of digital or physical artifacts is "too big to fail" because of the negative cultural impact their failure would have. Here it is: https://loc.gov. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

• What are some websites people should know about with free resources you can actually use?

  Internet Archive Library of Congress Your local library (mine has online books/magazines/movies/TV/music, online learning). Source: over 1 year ago

• I cannot, for the life of me, find an old jazz song readily available to license.

  Have you looked at archive.org or loc.gov? It's not jazz, but I've used library of congress (loc) early recordings of the desouza orchestra for large video projects, since it is in the public domain. Source: over 1 year ago

• I (24M) am unsure how confidence will fix my non-existing dating life.

• Anyone willing to play Badminton this Saturday?

  It is a pain to find a proper badminton community here in Budapest. In other cities, all you needed to do is search up on google and then you are immediately greeted by a bunch of badminton-loving people online. Although there are, some niche and quite hidden badminton meetup groups such as the two large groups on meetup.com, however, the users there are not made to be active and you cannot host meetup events on...

• after 2 years of living in CT, I have made not one in-road into the surrounding community

  Try going on Meetup.com and see if there are activities you and your wife would like to do. There are Meetup groups for just about any interest and you might find something new to try together. Source: 6 months ago

• I've completely failed to reintegrate into society

  My point is: keep your chin up, mate. You get what you put in, so prepare to work hard for what you want. A good place to start is to find communities centered around your hobbies. Recently I joined a community of foam blaster enthusiasts. Almost instantly I was talking the night away with some of the lads, and within days they were inviting me over to theirs for a meet and greet. Another option is meetup.com;... Source: 6 months ago

• UPDATE Friend lost out on a winning $1000 lotto ticket because of me, he's crying over money, and I don't feel guilty!

  You can also use meetup.com . It has a lot of interest groups on there. I belonged to a kick ass book club from that site for years before moving. Source: 6 months ago
