That’s fascinating, roughly contemporary with the Vulgate, but in Greek instead of Latin.

I was always told the Vulgate was the first to bring it all under a single language, but this could / should pre-date it by a few decades.

The Vulgate was comissioned in 382. Looks like Jerome used both the Codex Sinaiticus and the Codex Vaticanus as basis for the Vulgate.

The best one I’ve found is the New Jerusalem translation:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Jerusalem_Bible#%3A~%3Atext=Substantially+revising+the+JB+and%2Cintroductions%2C+written+by+Henry+Wansbrough.

Here’s a comparison:

New Jerusalem Ezekiel 20:23-26

23 Once again, however, I pledged them my word that I would scatter them throughout the nations and disperse them in foreign countries,

24 because they had not followed my judgements but had rejected my laws and profaned my Sabbaths, their eyes being fastened on the foul idols of their ancestors.

25 And for this reason I gave them laws that were not good and judgements by which they could never live;

26 and I polluted them with their own offerings, making them sacrifice every first-born son in order to fill them with revulsion, so that they would know that I am Yahweh."

King James:

23 I lifted up mine hand unto them also in the wilderness, that I would scatter them among the heathen, and disperse them through the countries;

24 Because they had not executed my judgments, but had despised my statutes, and had polluted my sabbaths, and their eyes were after their fathers’ idols.

25 Wherefore I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live;

26 And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.

NIV:

23 Also with uplifted hand I swore to them in the wilderness that I would disperse them among the nations and scatter them through the countries,

24 because they had not obeyed my laws but had rejected my decrees and desecrated my Sabbaths, and their eyes lusted after their parents’ idols.

25 So I gave them other statutes that were not good and laws through which they could not live;

26 I defiled them through their gifts—the sacrifice of every firstborn—that I might fill them with horror so they would know that I am the Lord.’

The worst part is, late in the game they reveal a tunnel system… that does nothing. You can’t access it, it’s just two holes in the ground. LOL.

Still a delight to play!

Foodstuffs can be food or something with which to make food.

Flour is a foodstuff, because you can use it to make food.

Corn can be eaten or it can be processed to make other food.

Meats can be eaten directly or made into other things like stew.

Well, not truly silent because they have a musical score, but two classics are:

Metropolis:

Les Vampires (10 episodes):

Until someone has to go up to unplug it and plug it back in again. 😁

I’d think, at least for the existing Steam Decks, it would involve some kind of internal modification as well since they don’t do charging like this.

Looks like a standard bracket, it even has the slots ready to go!

We’ve survived another 308 days of Trump, which is a big deal. But I don’t see us being truly thankful until 11/23/2028 and even that is only a maybe.

I am! Thanks!

I asked Google: “book comparing and contrasting anarchism with communism” and it returned a list, it will be interesting to see if any of these are AI hallucinations:

Books and collections

Marxism, Anarchism, Communism: Marx, Karl: This collection includes fundamental texts from both ideologies.

Appears to be a real book, but it’s just a collection of:

The Communist Manifesto by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels

The Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin

The State and Revolution by Vladimir Lenin

And then invites the reader to draw their own inferences.

Looks like all three are public domain:

Also in the search:

“Anarchism, Anarchist Communism, and The State: Three Essays”

Well, from the Steam Deck tech specs page:

Processor

6 nm AMD APU

CPU: Zen 2 4c/8t, 2.4-3.5GHz (up to 448 GFlops FP32)

GPU: 8 RDNA 2 CUs, 1.6GHz (1.6 TFlops FP32) APU power: 4-15W

RAM 16 GB LPDDR5 on-board RAM (6400 MT/s quad 32-bit channels)

Then what we know about the Steam Machine, also from the tech specs page:

CPU Semi-custom AMD Zen 4 6C / 12T up to 4.8 GHz, 30W TDP

GPU Semi-Custom AMD RDNA3 28CUs 2.45GHz max sustained clock, 110W TDP

RAM 16GB DDR5 + 8GB GDDR6 VRAM

See how they run on the Steam Deck and then consider the Steam Machine is apparently 6x more powerful.

I can see unplugging the Raspberry Pi in the bedroom and replacing it with the Steam Machine.

I mean, I find my Steam Deck powerful enough and this is, what, 6x over the Steam Deck?

I could deal with the text size, but the controller mapping was a pain.

That 100% makes sense!

I actually really liked both, but I’m a giant data nerd. LOL.

I was teaching Filemaker on 9/11. Day 1 was 9/10. Day 2:

“Ok, everyone knows what’s going on, if you need to leave, no penalty, you can come back at any time and re-take day 2 for free…”

Everyone stayed.

Meanwhile, a co-worker of mine was in the second tower teaching a class when the first tower got hit.

Word came down from the building that everyone should stay in place and he told his class quote: “Fuck that, everyone get out.”

Everyone lived. We couldn’t find out for like 2 weeks because the cell phones weren’t working.

I taught both Access and Filemaker back in the day. Once people got into it they really got into it!

I used to teach Microsoft Access:

“Scan Database For Errors” returned 1 of 2 messages:

“No Errors Found”

“Errors Found”

Good luck!
