British forces launch a full assault on Fort Sullivan, South Carolina.

The position does not fall as quickly as they would have pleased; British cannon fire bounces off the Patriot Fort, which is constructed of palmetto logs.

The British bullets cut down the militia flag, and young Patriot Sergeant William Jasper races to the pole and raises it under withering fire.

Meanwhile, American fire does substantial damage to Royal Navy ships.

Although 2,200 British troops and nine ships attacked a fort with only 400 militia inside, just 12 Patriots are killed for the loss of 91 British and severe damage to their ships.

They do not take the Fort and they are compelled to retreat.

The Odyssey Trailer but Historically Accurate Armor (Bronze Age) by demonflyingfox on YT (same creator who did the early AI Balenciaga videos).

This... convinces me that AI will definitely change the game from a post production / fan edit POV. I also do think the historically accurate armor slaps.

Calm. Cool. Collected. Named everyone else on his crew. Said “anyone else would have done the same,” and then saved close to 200 people. A truly humble professional and hero.

I hope this man gets every good thing he deserves.

Apparently Japan Post is debuting the most obvious improvement in addressing for last two decades: address virtualization.

You sign up with them and get a short alphanumeric code. Their DB holds a pointer to physical address. If you move, you tell them, pointer changes.

I really despise San Francisco’s default helplessness towards crime, as if thieves were some uncontrollable force of nature.

A better sign would be “Burglary is Punishable by up to 3 Years in Prison and $10,000 Fines”

From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the Blessed Machine.

Obsessed with the new “make it more” trend on ChatGPT.

You generate an image of something, and then keep asking for it to be MORE.

For example - spicy ramen getting progressively spicier 🔥 (from u/dulipat)

Dinner tonight / Tallegio - One of the best cheeses out there. Easy to find in the US and relatively inexpensive compared to other European cheeses. It’s washed rind which creates a more linger exterior but the flavor is earthy with mushroom notes and somewhat sweet. I eat it cold but it’s drool worthy melted into pasta or rice.

Around 2,200 years ago, the artist Hephaistion left his signature on a mosaic floor in the form of a piece of parchment held down with small drops of wax. This perfect imitation of a sheet of parchment, with one corner curled up, was discovered in one of the palaces at Pergamon.
