I kind of want to defend Jarvis here and point out that this spirit in a field grade officer is the sort of thing that has always given Britain a certain degree of glory: theirs not to reason why, theirs but to do and die, Into the Valley of Death rode the Six hundred

Every single person who still cringes at the memory of trying to bullshit their way through an interview or exam question: today, the slate is wiped clean. Set down your burden of shame. Nothing - nothing, I say - could touch this.

@kisstheblade_ @HarrierMagnus What sin! It is very advanced Lutheranism and regularly gets said these days by self proclaimed atheists. It means what a shame or that’s terrible or even just Too bad!

@kisstheblade_ @HarrierMagnus At least, as far as I know German doesn’t have a regular expression of regret like the Swedish “vad synd”

I remember him ince getting si angry at me he started shouting at me “ich bin dein Vater!” Anyway I am still not certain when the of unfun comes out whether it is from him or my Swedish mother

@eigenrobot In Alistair Reynolds rather good sublight speed sci fi novel “Revelation Space” Epsilon Eridani has a relatively awesome francofuturist phase in the 24th century, that is so far axay in the future that I could imagine a French comeback. One can always hope.

@polanskydj @lijukic I’ve never read Renan, but did he ever comment on how everybody’s folk dance was originally invented in some central Italian warlord’s court at some point in the 15th century?
