"Playing Cards" (2020) of Iranian illustrator and concept artist, Mahdieh Farhadkiaei
Mahdieh Farhadkiaei's illustrations expertly mimick those of the archetypal French playing cards, except she has brought the characters to life and infused each one with personality, mixing in concepts of love, drama, and treachery.

Hey there! I see you've been posting album covers of a lot of great music, but have you considered posting links to performances on YouTube so folks unfamiliar with said pieces can listen?
There are perilously few of us posting classical - some more would be appreciated.
Please use #cosoclassical and #cosomusic . If you check #cosochoral you'll find a lot of my posts also.
What word did Eru Illúvatar speak to give the Vision created out of the the Ainulindalë physical form?
@holon42
Upset me? Not at all. You'll find the answer in the Silmarillion, maybe some other websites.
Where is the land of Aman found after the Akallabêth (Downfall of Númenor)?

Sorry I missed your trivia posts from the other day.
What substance were the Silmarils originally meant to contain?

@White_Rabbit - I know you'll know this immediately, so would you mind giving others a crack at it first?
The random ethernet disconnects from my desktop PC have been giving me fits lately. I'm pretty good at this stuff, but I'm honestly at a loss here.
So far, I have:
- reset all network hardware
- reset Win10 network stack
- tested / changed cables
- checked that power management is disabled
- upgraded drivers
- switched from Intel dual port GB adapter to onboard realtek; repeated all of above
- upgraded router firmware (DDWRT)
Still getting random periodic disconnects. Suggestions?
This is an opinion, I certainly could be wrong.
The war on Hamas, must continue. But aren't you a peace loving Buddhist? Yes. Yet also a realist. Do I negotiate with a cancer tumor? Do I give it one of my organs? Or do I use the tools of modern medicine to keep the cancer from doing more harm to my system. No. I fight like hell. Will I rid my body of cancer completely? No. But I will disarm the cancer. And I will poison many innocent cells, with chemotherapy to do so.
Do not reply.

How dire is the situation for Ukraine right now?
