    The Librarian reacted to LNN in Bitcoin adoption will lower demand for Gold and hence Gold Mining   
    This is good for the environment AND will save a few lives in the process.
    This might not be good news for gold mines somewhere in Nicaragua however. 
    I don't expect this to happen overnight though.

    Interesting concept I haven't thought of before. 
    And also the wondering of how many other subsequent? brothers and sisters were interbreeding for the next couple of centuries.

    The Librarian got a reaction from Isabella in Dear Librarian: What Type of Wine is Appropriate for the Memorial?   
    Answer: The Memorial wine  is a plain red wine , without any additives, or fortifications. Fermented red grape juice ONLY

     
    Often winemakers are not transparent about what they add to their wine. Most people don't realize that their fancy Cabernet Sauvignon has actually been treated with all kinds of chemicals.
    FYI: @JW Insider actually made an interesting comment last year concerning our buying only Passover or Kosher wines here
    Agape!

    I would love to verify if the magazine he is displaying is indeed the Watchtower but the clarity just isn't that great.
    Enjoy a peek back almost 100 years.

    Experience of a full day in 1920's Berlin. AI enhanced with deep learning techniques. From dawn until dusk in three minutes. Berlin of the Weimar Republic was a multi-cultural city. Teeming with flappers,bobbed hair,cloche hats, and the dancing girls of Berlin's infamous Cabaret scene.
    By 1924, post WW1 Germany's economy had stabilized and crime began to decline. This era was known as the "Golden Years" of Weimar. Berlin in particular saw a cultural explosion. The 1929 Crash and Great Depression which followed it, saw an end to democracy and the rise of fascism.
    This is a short AI enhanced edit of the Walther Ruttmann classic silent documentary film. Berlin : Symphony of a Great City 1927.

    The Librarian reacted to Isabella in As A Kid I Was Told Armageddon Was Near, So I Wouldn’t Need A Job. Now I’m A BDSM Model.   
    “I was told I’d stop aging and I’d be a teenager forever. I didn’t think I’d ever earn money for myself, have a bank account, own a home, fall in love, get married.”

    The author at age 11 in a 1988 school photo. “I was expecting the world to end in five years maximum,” she says.
    My teacher, having asked everyone who got 10 out of 10 right on the spelling test to put their hand up, went on to ask who got 9 out of 10. She proceeded from there, down to 4 out of 10. I put my hand up. I actually got 1 out of 10, but didn’t want to admit I didn’t study for the test. She wouldn’t have understood why.
    I was 9 years old and I wasn’t going to grow up. I didn’t need to learn to spell because I’d never need a job. It was 1986, my family were Jehovah’s Witnesses, and the JW governing body was confidently predicting that Armageddon would arrive by the mid-1990s. Everyone who survived that would live forever in Paradise on earth. We were promised this at each of the thrice-weekly meetings we attended. In Paradise, we’d build log cabins, make friends with wild animals and spend our time picking fruit with other Jehovah’s Witnesses. This was all lovingly illustrated for us in the Jehovah’s Witness literature.
    I tried to suppress the panic I felt whenever I perused the pictures. To me, it looked boring ― because it was going to last forever. I had many opportunities to consider forever, sitting on a plastic chair under fluorescent lights, during the interminable Jehovah’s Witness meetings. Forever meant that eventually, the whole world would be so familiar to me that there would be no wonders left. One day I would have had every possible conversation with every single person still alive on the planet. It gave me a feeling like vertigo. So I told myself to trust what I was learning because if everyone else wanted to live forever, it would surely somehow be marvelous, and a more-than-ample reward for all the activities we missed out on in the present-day world.
    There were plenty of those. No Christmas, no birthdays, no Easter. Technically, Jehovah’s Witnesses were allowed televisions, but we were warned frequently about “worldly influences” and my parents had elected not to have one. Higher education was frowned upon ― it was considered selfish not to use all your available time and energy trying to convert nonbelievers, so as to save their lives during Armageddon. Many young JWs left school as soon as legally allowed, took low-paying jobs, and spent all of their spare time and energy evangelizing, or “storing up treasures in heaven.” I banked on Armageddon coming quickly enough to save me from having to become a window cleaner. I was keen for it to arrive before I turned 16. This, the JW literature assured me, was almost certain.

    The Librarian got a reaction from JW Insider in 4000 Years of History   
    You can tell it's from a few decades ago because it doesn't mention WWII and lists the USSR as a power at the end.
    The width of the color blocking is relative power at that time.
