Sad that it came to this, but from following this feed I suspect that it will be for the best.

Wow.

I think that’s in fact the most-cited thing I’ve ever written.

Some references in my cubiculum article, and I think some later work by Laura Nissin, but I think it’s not clear that there’s a clear custom in that respect (also “share a bedroom” is itself unclear).

Seems like perfect match for serious trade book.

What flavor(s) of CogSci?

i wonder if anyone's looked at parallels between this and Singapore's push towards hawker centers?

But..but...he's a "critical thinker." It's right there in his bio!

With an extremely low level of confidence, I'd guess on general principle that the professors could use the extra structure, but the structure of your sentence seems to hint in the opposite direction.

Seven? That's so sad.

Who is who in that story?

I may have asked you this before (but I can't find it). There's a photo circulating on the internet of a set of these, sometimes accompanied by a caption saying that they are in a 1:2:4:8:16 volume ratio (or something like that). Do you happen to know where they actually are (if anywhere)?

I wrote a paper my junior year of college (85/6) that required its use. Maybe first undergrad digital humanities assignment in Classics?

Yes, but only if you have the non-obvious information that what’s short-handed as “life expectancy” is a mean.

Coincidentally, I'm in a Georgian cuisine deep dive at the moment. Good to see ISAW doing this scholarly work.

This was pretty startling even when we were there a month ago.

I think that last is fair. I just worry that the premise of a choice is increasingly detached from reality.

That is a...generous...reading of history departments.

I was wondering about the odd look of that last I. Btw, you may have this already, but there's an odd ancient context in which IIIIII is common for 6. There's a priesthood of seviri who in some area are VIviri, but elsewhere IIIIIIviri. Actually, in those cases they're mostly IiiiiIviri.

It’s still bizarre to me that two good books on this came out at essentially the same time.

Righteous revenge for all the articles added over the years by LA-based screenwriters.

The core problem with cricket for me is that I can see a published score and still not know who won.

In addition to all the classicists, I see a college classmate there.

Wow.

What would the Polish be?

When I try to do (2), they usually end up being in fact non-identical enough to create bonus confusion.

In walking distance of our department (and even closer to Art History).
comment in response to post
Not high on the list of problems here, but it seems to me that there's also a misunderstanding of "trustee" here, no sense that they are supposed to act of an institution that exists independently of them, not one which they own.
comment in response to post
Doubtless.

In fact, no. Thanks!

Thanks!

Very good. In the present context I'm interested in a particular *representational* feature, but I imagine that the book would at least have a giant supply of examples.
