"The Revigator was intended to add radioactivity (radon) to drinking water. Water without radioactivity was 'devoid of its life element.'

The glazed ceramic body of the jar has a porous lining that incorporated uranium ore. Water placed inside the jar would absorb the radon released by decay of the radium in the ore.

Advertised as 'an original radium ore patented water crock,' it sold in the hundreds of thousands between 1924 and 1930."

연대와 함께하는 이라는 수식이 들어간건 더불어 생각난다고 후보군 탈락할거 같고. 자신들의 정체성을 자유(우웩)라고 생각하고 자신들의 정통성을 공화당에서 찾고자 하니 자유공화당 갈듯. Q.하지만 박정희는 민주공화당이었는데요? 그걸 더 좋아하지 않을까요? A.짝퉁소리 들을까봐 겁나서 못쓸듯. 아니면 혁신이야기하면서 과거회귀한다는 말 나올까봐 못쓰거나, 대놓고 4공부활 희망이냐? 소리들을까봐 못쓸듯.

"There is a tide in the affairs of men which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves. Or lose our ventures." — William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

IRCv3 is shaping to be amazingly good!

here's the things it offers, today, right now, on a chat server we just set up in one evening:

• you don't need a bouncer (friggin finally)
• there are moblie clients that work well
• you can see backlog when joining a channel
• you can browse chat history
• you can connect from multiple devices with one account and nickname
• if you disconnect, your nickname is still present in a channel you joined, marked as away
• you can highlight or DM people who are away and they'll see your message when they join (without crutches like MemoServ)
• there is a "last read message" marker and it is synchronized between multiple connections
• messages have identifiers (and server timestamps) and replies can be tagged with the message you're replying to
• messages can be redacted (for moderation)
• you don't need to deal with fussy nonsense like NickServ authorization, ghosting, or such; connect with your username and password and that's it
• there are typing notifiers, if you want them
• there are message reactions, if you want them

here's the things it does not offer:

• image, video, or file uploads (actively worked on: https://github.com/ircv3/ircv3-specifications/pull/562)
• stickers
• complex onboarding tools

caveat: since IRCv3 is a true extension of IRCv2, the features listed above work if they're supported by both the server and the client. in my onboarding experience so far, people do not find it difficult to find a suitable client, but your mileage may vary. on the flipside, legacy clients will work just fine.

unexpectly, i realized that IRCv3 can completely replace Matrix rooms for my own group chat purposes, and i'm probably not going to set up any Matrix homeservers again; it's just not worth it and frankly I should instead put that effort into coming up with a file upload IRCv3 extension or something

The Guardian claimed Indians don't read for pleasure. I ran the numbers across India, US, UK, and Europe. Turns out Indians spend more of their income on fiction and non-fiction than you'd expect. We read differently: utility-driven, yes, but also more intentionally. Data breakdown inside.
