When Dmitry Argarkov was sent a letter offering him a credit card, he found the rates not to his liking ... But he didn't throw the contract away or shred it. Instead, the 42-year-old from Voronezh, Russia, scanned it into his computer, altered the terms and sent it back to Tinkoff Credit Systems. Mr Argarkov's version of the contract contained a 0pc interest rate, no fees and no credit limit. Every time the bank failed to comply with the rules, he would fine them 3m rubles (£58,716). If Tinkoff tried to cancel the contract, it would have to pay him 6m rubles. Tinkoff apparently failed to read the amendments, signed the contract and sent Mr Argakov a credit card.
[...]
 Earlier this week a Russian judge ruled in Mr Argakov's favour. Tinkoff had signed the contract and was legally bound to it. Mr Argakov was only ordered to pay an outstanding balance of 19,000 rubles (£371). "They signed the documents without looking. They said what usually their borrowers say in court: 'We have not read it',” said Mr Mikhalevich. But now Mr Argakov has taken matters one step further. He is suing Tinkoff for 24m rubles for not honouring the contract and breaking the agreement.

This is beautiful.

Toady is adding scientists to DF. So many books to collect. So many intellectuals to round up and destroy the learnings of for the purposes of maintaining a monopoly on knowledge.
It's beautiful that he's working on that even when it has no gameplay impact whatsoever. Praise Toady.

So is this.

[Graknorke]

It is awesome.

I am concerned however that religious texts are being left out, unless they fall under the domain of philosophers. There needs to be 10543 page essays on the virtues of the goddess of lust, death and rain.

I imagine that religious scholars will be a thing, since temples are one of the first visitor attracting buildings that he's adding.

He hinted that it may eventually have an impact on gameplay. Would be cool to start a fortress at the start of the world and have your fort be one of the primary powers advancing the knowledge and world power of your dwarven civ. Until the fort dies in magma and fire and zombies of course.

[FearfulJesuit]

Soon my fortress will enjoy the scholarship of a dwarven Thomas Aquinas. Who doesn't need a four thousand-page tome on the gods of destruction and mayhem?

I got the weirdest stiffie right now.

[Eric Blank]

I read that as giraffe and immediately started questioning why you have a weird giraffe and what that has to do with DF development.

This was amusing enough to make me happy.

I'm asexual, of course it is.

[WillowLuman]

Attracted exclusively to Liberians?

[Graknorke]

Well I just took the latin for "book" but apparently some Tumblerina has already claimed it to mean the same thing as bisexual so...
Fucksakes what happened to sensible etymologies?

[Descan]

It went out the window when we went "fuck it!" and started mixing Greek, Latin, and every other god-damn language to make "scientific" words.

Yeah, a little part of me dies everytime I hear "pan" appended to an otherwise latin word.


Actual happy: I got books 5 & 6 of the Skulduggery Pleasant series and the second season of Avatar. Many readings/watchings are to be had.

[Bauglir]

Paper's about half done, 8 pages of bitching in. Just gotta soldier on :I

[hops]

We should just stick with everythingthatmovessexual.
