I used to run r/etymology, so digging deeper and being able to wrinkle my nose, furrow my brow, and out-pedantize a pedant is my specialty! And indeed, also learn something in the process.
This is true, but as it happens, the general conclusion (per the OED) is that syllabus isn't an authentic Latin word at all, it's a corruption or misreading of Greek sittybos as sillybus (spelling varies). So even though it's modelled after the Latin, it's already plural if the surmise is correct.
This is a silly argument, but:
at some point they stopped making TV shows and movies set in the past and went to making everything science fiction
At the risk of being cliché, I recommend the original books by Bernard Cornwell!
There's still a ton of historical media too. From my past three months of watching:
This goes both ways, though. I hate it when I'm linked to an article that describes at agonizing length something that was captured on video, with only the lightest smattering of commentary that adds any insight or context, and not even a working link to or embed of the footage.
Think of Anthony Weiner's furious, "The gentleman is correct in sitting!" (before his fall from grace), or Musk's Nazi salute that looked suspiciously like a Nazi salute, or George W. Bush winning a free pair of shoes.
The video of the event itself would take fifteen seconds to watch and I'll still feel the need to watch it after reading the article anyway.
Oregon Trail generation
Holy shit, you're 185 years old? What's the secret?
Just because she likes to see the giggle doesn't mean she thinks any less of the other women, she could even hold her in very high regard.
Misogyny aside, there's nothing in this sentence that is gender-specific other than the pronouns. We should recognize it and call it out regardless.
Could be distension from liver cirrhosis or similar, maybe?
A good friend is like a chronometer – very reliable, well balanced, and generally powered by a nickel-steel spring.
I like the suggestion that the witch hadn't cast a spell before this point because they thought it was a social faux-pas. Confrontation anxiety strikes again.
You don't need to pretend Musk has German ancestry to criticize them. His father is a violent bigot who supports Russian imperialism and his maternal grandfather was a racist, fascist Southern African politician.
Why does Gandalf the White look like Peter Serafinowicz's character Brian Butterfield?
Now here's Concentric Lamb with the weather.
YSK: The Guardian became the first major newspaper in Australia and Britain to ban all gambling ads.
Sonia Sodha is still a contributor to The Guardian and is a massive TERF. The Guardian is one of the better news outlets in the UK, but so long as they give her a platform, fuck them.
FYI, Brother seem to be acting a little shady in the last couple of years.
O true ammunition manufacturer,
Thy rounds are quick. Thus with a splat I die.
Finally, an answer to the question so many of you have asked
We're remaking Morrowind as a Skyrim mod. Here's a charity livestream we held on the weekend.
Feel free to hit me up with any questions! Check out !skywind@lemmy.world for more of our recent progress.

TIL baking and brewing yeasts produce alcohol to kill off competing microorganisms
The Crabtree effect is where Saccharomyces and Brettanomyces yeasts digest carbohydrates both anaerobically – producing ethanol, an antiseptic – and aerobically. Most yeasts in the presence of both sugar and oxygen prefer to only convert these to carbon dioxide and water, which is considerably more efficient but doesn't deter competitors for that sweet, sweet sugar.

Media Bias / Fact Check bot declares itself as unreliable
North Korean troops wearing Russian uniforms and carrying Russian equipment are moving to the Russian region of Kursk, near Ukraine, according to the US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, who described the deployment as a dangerous and destabilising development. Austin was speaking at a press conferen...
Let’s talk progress! Brand new development video drops on Morrowind’s birthday, 1st May, on the Skywind YouTube channel.
RIP space guars, we hardly knew ye.
Thanks for playing along with our April Fool's Day prank. We are, in fact, not pivoting to the Starfield engine.
We are, however, back on the very latest version of the Skyrim engine, thanks to some gruelling work by our Coding team, and of the Creation Kit, thanks in part to the CKPE team 💌
Now back to your regularly scheduled project updates. There's also more of the Concept-to-Asset video series on the horizon, and a bigger progress video is being worked on as we speak. Onwards and upwards! 🚀
After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: say hello to Skywind!
After years of pouring love and dedication to recreating Morrowind in Skyrim's engine, we're reaching for the moon: we're shifting to Starfield's engine.
Say hello to Starwind! 🚀
Tamriel's vibrant and variant landscapes have been our home for years, a realm where our passion could roam as free as the nix hounds of Vvardenfell. But as we looked up at the stars above, we saw the potential for magic far beyond what Skyrim's engine could offer. Starfield's cutting-edge tech and vast cosmic canvas present us with the opportunity to reimagine Morrowind like never before.
We're grateful for your support, and we look forward to continuing on this journey with you, to the cosmos and beyond.
The Starwind Team ✨
You gave over $2400 to charity, and we kept our side of the bargain! Our latest Skywind livestream features candid answers, brand new creatures, and a living god.
We're live in 10 minutes! Join us for a 2-hour Skywind team stream, carving a fresh path across Vvardenfell, answering your questions, and raising money for Make-a-Wish as part of the C3.
As we livestream for C3 on Saturday, your donations will unlock locations we don't normally show - including one we said we never would 👀

A vestige of prestige: the Dwemer ruin of Nchuleft, by Dominik Włodarczyk
This ancient Dwemer freehold straddles the border of the Grazelands and the Ashlands, and served historically as an important neutral ground for diplomatic talks. Its remaining inhabitants are not so eager for polite conversation.
We’ve taken a deep dive into game asset creation with the first Skywind Concept-to-Asset episode! This time, we’re looking at the Iron Armor.
CONFESSION TIME: we have an ulterior motive with this new series. It's not very evil, though. We love showing off what we've made, the attention we pay to detail, and our determination to make Skywind really goddamn good, BUT...
WE NEED 3D CLOTHING ARTISTS. It's a major bottleneck for us at the moment, and has been for some time. If you've got experience in modelling 3D clothing and soft materials, or if you know someone else who fits the bill, we'd be really keen to hear from them. Tell everyone you know 💚

On Feb 3rd, we’ll be part of the Community Creation Con supported by Nexus Mods, Bethesda Game Studios, GOG.com, and more, to benefit Make-a-Wish.
We’ll be giving a whistlestop tour of Skywind, what it is (and isn’t), and answering our most frequently-asked questions, live on Twitch.
Join us on February 3rd at 12:30pm! Donate if you can. Watch out for the full schedule on https://twitter.com/C3Modders
To ring in the New Year, we held a Twitch stream that looked back at our progress in 2023. What was your favorite new Skywind development?
And a teaser for 2024: we were also busy last year working on a mini video series to showcase specific Skywind items, from the very first concepts and ideas right through to the final in-game asset. More on that very soon!
You can help! If you know a 3D artist who might want to help with future models for Skywind - especially clothing artists - please send them our way. We’d love to hear from them: https://discord.gg/skywind
Happy holidays from the Skywind team... wait, did you hear that?
