  8. We've reached the point where we're having to actively degrade the UI and remove useful features of the small scientific database I co-maintain (xronos.ch) to try and reduce the extreme load imposed by (unwanted and politely-asked-to-go-away) AI crawler bots. Conversations about new features have to ask whether it's going to make the crawler load problem worse.

    THE LION’S SHARE: THE SECRET LAND GRAB OF DRAKE’S CIRCUMNAVIGATION

    "Here I present the case that perhaps the most important state secret of all was that the official land claim record falsified the position of Nova Albion, Drake’s claim on the west coast of what is now the United States. Between the draft and the published version, the claim was moved south by several degrees to the northern border of New Spain. It is not likely that the differing latitudes were a scribal or typographic error."

    The Muslim book (the Quran) does not speak against eating horse meat. The Bible (the Old Testament for both Jew and Christian) does give God's revelation that the horse is unclean, because it does not chew the cud or divide the hoof like a true ruminant, and therefore should not be eaten.

    If the Roman Catholic church is what invaded Hungary, they were not known to actually share the Bible in the native language.
