The opposite, I always sleep with blanket on even if I don't want to. In summer I fall asleep with blanket on my side and wake up fully covered in blanket. And sweating like a pig

This is fake, no one can code like that

Because Arch is at best comparable to sport fandom, at worst to religious cult. And fans/cultists do these kinds of things

TIL people don't know about rosetta stone. My mom loves ancient Egypt so information like this was my "daily bread" when I was little, never realized that this isn't common

There're still older Civilizations I haven't played so I'm not worried

I initially saw that number on a Facebook post and when I checked the source [1] it also mentioned the 15 billion figure so I went with it. Looking at it closely, the author did some "creative" math to get that number

His total take home amounted to five times the earnings of the highest paid provincial governors over a similar period—enough to provide grain for the entire city of Rome for one year, or to pay all the ordinary soldiers of the Roman Army at the height of its imperial reach for a fifth of a year. By today’s standards that last figure, assuming the apt comparison is what it takes to pay the wages of the American armed forces for the same period, would cash out to about $15 billion

Good catch, I should read the sources better and don't trust the Facebook (especially the Facebook)

And also how often the movie is completely oblivious to that. For example it's been a while since I saw "Devil wears Prada" but if I remember right, the ending is:

Our main character has an argument with her boyfriend

Goes to a business trip in Paris

Sleeps with random guy

Returns home and makes up with her boyfriend

And the movie ends like nothing happened, she's happy, that's what's important

You may say this is basic or this is really nitpicking or micro mapping. But this is something that bothers me for a long time. So I'm currently mapping sidewalks in my village and according to this

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Guidelines_for_pedestrian_navigation#Sidewalks_and_crossings

What I should do, is to separate sidewalks from pedestrian crossings - so top and left of the blue dot is a pedestrian crossing and bottom and right is a sidewalk. Got it.

Now things start to be complicated (at least in my head) when StreetComplete starts asking me for the surface of that crossing. An example:

Now my mind starts to go to crazy and I'm not sure which option is correct:

  1. Set the surface of that pedestrian crossing to paving_stones since that's the actual surface of that path. The fact that it crosses the asphalt road doesn't matter as that's the surface of the road

  1. Split the pedestrian crossing into 3 parts, set their surface accordingly so paving_stones, asphalt, paving_sones. But all are still pedestrian crossings.

  1. Split the pedestrian crossing to 3 parts, set only middle of that to be the pedestrian crossing as that's the actual crossing, set the other parts to be a sidewalk. Set surfaces accordingly

  1. Similar to 3., split the pedestrian crossing into 3 parts, set only middle of that to be the pedestrian crossing as that's the actual crossing, set the other parts to be footways (so no sidewalks), since those are just separate footways connecting the sidewalk and the crossing. Set surfaces accordingly

All of those have some logic in my mind but I won't go to details as it'd be very long post. But I guess the number 2. is correct? Although I then start wondering what to do in case the sidewalk is right next to the road? Just setting it to asphalt?

Anyway, please help me bring peace to my mind - which one is correct?

medieval soap opera

This sounds accurate when I think about it, maybe I found out why I wasn't interested. The thing is - I don't mind medieval soap operas (to some degree), I really liked The White Queen, The White Princess and The Spanish Princess. But those are based on real characters in actual history, I can forgive them for being boring at times since history is sometimes a bit boring. But for me the selling point and the excitement comes from the fact that this actually happened (well ... sort of). With GoT it felt like I'm watching one of those medieval soap operas but without the excitement of being based on the real thing

Jealousy. His boss could act like an asshole and don't let him go fishing but he earned it! It's so rare to find good boss

I'm surprised no one made a movie about him already. I can already see the title: "Teenage Pope"

 

This is a pretty common staircase type where I live but how do I map it? Should I make lines over each other multiple times, each with different level? Or just one line and don't care about the other floors? I don't know if I'm searching for wrong terms but I have a surprisingly hard time on getting info about stairs mapping.

Can you point me to the right direction or post some example?
