Hey I saw this tomb ! Very impressive and complete different from the ones around. It was the tomb of someone serving under Akhenaten hence the style. The tomb is actually unfinished and unpainted as the owner reverted to the traditional gods after the death of Akhenaten and built another tomb elsewhere.

The treaty was played up by Nazi Germany for political reasons and as such is often mentioned as one of the reasons for Germany to start the war. In practice the reparations asked of Germany where significantly less than what France had to pay as reparations for the 1870 war.

German economy was in a much worse state after 1929 than France was in the later half of the 19th century, making it a heavier burden. But that’s not due to the treaty itself.

French Marechal Foch famously said of the treaty «It’s not peace, it’s an armistice for 20 years ! ». They already knew at the time that it was not enough to significantly impact Germany.

I realized, the moment I fell into the fissure, that the book would not be destroyed as I had planned. It continued falling into that starry expanse of which I had only a fleeting glimpse. I have tried to speculate where it might have landed, but I must admit, however— such conjecture is futile. Still, the question of whose hands might someday hold my Myst book are unsettling to me. I know that my apprehensions might never be allayed, and so I close, realizing that perhaps, the ending has not yet been written.

Telescopes with fixed optics and mobile mirrors have been done. Mostly used for solar observation but they are few exceptions.

Most notably This telescope from Paris’s 1900 universal Exhibit . Poor scientific instruments but great party trick with focal length of 57 METERS !

Well due to the massive increase in end of life costs in the last decade his parents will have to sell to house in their last few year and the inheritance will vanish. Don’t worry we’ll all end up in the same place.

Apple sells usb-c to mini-jack adapters as well as lightning to mini-jack. A pain to have to pay for an adapter but it works quite well.
