The '63 eruption of Mount Agung in Bali causing the sun in fucking Nigeria to be red?? The attribution is measuring aerosol properties from the simulated volcanic clouds from 3 different volcanic eruptions. This is giving slop
Screen shot from the website anyhumanever. It reads:

Fatoumata was born in 1921 CE, in the countryside near Kano. Her village held about 700 people. She made her home in a mud-and-thatch house. She was the third child of three. Her father died when she was 19, her mother when she was 36. Fatoumata ate mostly millet porridge, cow's milk and soured milk, goat and mutton, and baobab leaf and cowpea, with seasonal dates and desert melon. She was about 161 cm tall (5 ft 3 in).

Marriage came at 18. She was widowed at 56. She had five children, of whom two girls survived past childhood. The farthest she ever travelled was about 350 miles, as far as Maiduguri. She followed Islam and spoke a Chadic language. Her work was that of a market trader. She lived on what a craft or trade brought in.

When she was 42, Agung on Bali erupted far away, and for months afterwards the sunsets ran red. The Sahel drought famine reached her district when she was 47. At 65 she watched Halley's Comet pass. The fighting in Niger broke out when she was 68.

At 68, she died of HIV/AIDS. Her line came to four grandchildren. After her death, she was washed, wrapped in a plain shroud and buried within a day, laid on the right side facing Mecca.

Turns out this was from an old interview, even. melmagazine.com/en-us/story/...
Snippet from an interview between Vanity Fair and Jackass host Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O
"
VF: So listen, I'm not sure how to broach this subject. There's a lot of half-naked men in Jackass, and a lot of anal play and nipple torture and testicle touching. Is it possible that Jackass is at least a smidge gay?

Knoxville: I'm offended you just said a smidge!

VF: It's more than a smidge?

Knoxville: We're over here sitting on rainbows and you say a smidge.

VF: You're a gay pride parade waiting to happen?

Knoxville: We're a gay pride parade that's happening! And in 3-D!

VF: It's not just homoerotic tension?

Knoxville: No, man, it's all about release with us.

Steve-O: We always thought it was funny to force a heterosexual MTV generation to deal with all of our thongs and homoerotic humor. In many ways, all our gay humor has been a humanitarian attack against homophobia. We've been trying to rid the world of homophobia for years, and I think gay people really dig it too.

VF: This was way too easy. I had all of these questions designed to lure you into admitting your subconscious desire to fuck each other. But apparently you're not suppressing anything.

Knoxville: Suppressing?! Wait till I tell the guys you said suppressing! We're not suppressing anything! We're over here sitting on dicks!

rolled up a Draconis Reach company to see how it all flowed, and how Aces works for Classic. So far, impressed, and my Javelin pilot is having a bad time (the Victor is a stand-in for a Vindicator, and the Firefly for a Roadrunner)
A game of Battletech, some plastic mechs are facing each other on a paper hex grid map with visible cards on the table.

post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers
A screenshot showing a large celestial body with a distant star. Framed around this space is a green/grey gradiant and the words "EPOC 6011 - 592 . 874 . 365" at the top left. The bottom has the following:
"Location Parsis: 3897401;4524932;-1087765 . TGT: Planet M 4"a screenshot of a game. In the main section shows a a mixture of what appear to be green grass, a purple sky, purple stone pyramids, and reflecting those pyramids appears to be a body of water. Around this is a purple gradiant frame with some words.
"EPOC 6011 - 618 . 283 . 306 . SRC 219. 78:-12.19" reads the top, with the following at the bottom:
"Location Parsis: -56895;15693;-129693 . TGT: Planet M 4"A section of space is visible outside some windows in a purple semi-transparent vessel. The text on the left window has some words semi readable "3 OF T-" "-ECTED" "ED 293" before trailing below a resolution high enough to read them. Text overlaying the screen says "Nameless Moon λ03/03 . P07 0.00 DYAMS LQ 308:060"
