Austria, Denmark and Sweden?

A brand of light/sound brainwave-synchronisation machine has as one of its built-in programs one titled “Schumann Resonance”, with 7.83Hz as the brainwave frequency. Not sure if that’s just a poetic coincidence or whether there’s a strain of new-age mystical woo that holds that the resonant frequencies of lightning in the Earth’s magnetosphere have a bearing on brainwaves and states of consciousness.

She survived the entire Nazi era?

The 19” rack is a standard that precedes computers, so you can find a lot of non-computer gear that fits in them. Synthesisers and studio audio gear are one example, then there’s test equipment and such. The military undoubtedly has a lot of specialised gear that also fits 19” racks (the form factor may have originated there, perhaps during WW2). It wouldn’t be surprising if there was non-electrical gear that was designed for mounting in these universally available racks.

Various Australian Aboriginal cultures had message sticks which were inscribed with marks that served as a mnemonic device to the carrier, who would recite their meaning, but didn’t go as far as encoding language independently.

They tended to be so committed to knowledge as a living system, a sort of society-scale memory palace continually rehearsed in songs, stories and rituals, that if anyone had come up with the idea of converting language into writing, it’d probably have been shot down at the suggestion phase as being unnecessary and/or something that could damage the systems they had for maintaining their culture if adopted.

In return, the newly liberated Cubans get Netflix and Chick-Fil-A.

From what I remember, e/n sites were like personal blogs only with more of an incel vibe. They seemed to be by guys who referred to women with misogynistic slurs, while lamenting their lack of a girlfriend.

The ship’s cat on the Amethyst, Able Seacat Simon, was also the only cat to ever be awarded the Dickin Medal, the animal equivalent of the Victoria Cross, for keeping the crew’s morale up despite being badly injured in the attack on the ship that killed the captain.

Some day, someone will teach a goose to play the bagpipes.

One could say the same about Singapore, yet it seems to be here to stay.
