The "Ring Lady" of Herculaneum was a Roman woman who died around 45 years of age near the ancient waterfront of Herculaneum during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 AD.

She was found surrounded by her gold jewellery and still wearing emerald and ruby rings on her left hand. Her jewellery was in perfect condition.

Apparently, this photo was taken just few hours after the discovery.

@djsumdog @Forestofenchantment @Hyperhidrosis If it takes multiple people to launch a nuke, of course the same amount of security would be used in nuclear reactors, if not more. A nuclear meltdown is actually a lot worse than a nuclear strike.

At the stroke of midnight on the New Year, the income tax in New Hampshire will be truly and totally dead.

RIP to the Interest and Dividends Tax — as NH leads the way on tax abolition.

@Dan_Ramos Interesting compromise. Not sure how it would actually pan out though.

>Incidentally, ideological capitalists do not support government stimulus of the economy either.

Unless you count the Chicago School economists like Milton Friedman.

@Jean_Philippe_Micheaux @Heil_Honkler @Hoss Yeah the welfare system seems designed to trap people in poverty forever

@souldessin @Pawlicker I wasn't personally recommending one, but most of the alternatives to WP that are brought up are static-site generators. I never hear about Drupal or Joomla anymore.

i think if you just had a good economic system without the government propping up evil monopolies and in which people are unable to profit in evil and exploitative ways then you likely wouldn't need a wealth cap because wealth would naturally cap out around whatever the wealthiest you can get without being evil is (which is definitely somewhere lower than a billion dollars)

@Pawlicker The only alternatives I see being recommended are static-site generators.

To be an independent woman now is essentially to reject feminism. That's cosmic levels of funny. You can actually shit test an "independent" woman independently into becoming a housewife voluntarily. Maybe classic liberals were onto something...
