The only way to stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun ... But only if he feels like it. Meh, someone else will take care of it.

One example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iliad?wprov=sfla1

Yes, you'll make the argument that the available versions of it are not perfect representations, though that is only because the language and dialect used to produce the work had been lost, the work otherwise remains intact.

Text is a digital format because you have a limited set of characters to represent sounds/syllables. For example: the meaning of the letter 'B' doesn't change if a small piece of the letter is missing or if the letter is slightly tilted, it's still a 'B'. If the format was analog, those changes would also change the sound/meaning of the word.

The analog storage you are referring to from thousands of years ago has degraded substantially since its creation. Yes it's still useful but I wouldn't use that as evidence it's a better medium. Case in point: texts (a digital storage form) from thousands of years ago can be retransacribed to be exact copies of the original (with respect to the knowledge contained within of course) whereas paintings from the Renaissance have changed dramatically due to aging and can never be returned to their original form since the needed data is lost.

I just rewatched it last month and it was great; but yeah, season 5 was bad. They had their budget cut for that season so they switched animation studios. The change is painfully obvious.

Well they had to change the signs, right? Must be some text on there... Super woke text. Like 100 woke per letter.

I was just thinking that AOC isn't old enough but she turns 35 in October, good timing.

So is 8, but this post is getting upvoted just fine...https://lemmy.world/post/17050256
