Houshi Ryokan was founded around 1,300 years ago and it has always been managed by the same family since then. It is the oldest still running family business in the world.
This ryokan (a traditional japanese style hotel) was built over a natural hot spring in Awazu in central Japan in the year 718. Until 2011, it held the record for being the oldest hotel in the world.
What.
How did it hold the record of oldest hotel until 2011? This seems impossible by definition. Either it continues to hold then record, or it never held the record.
Some dirty motherfuckers were finally able to prove they had been open since 705!
Houshi relegated to second place!
A trap is for fish: when you've got the fish, you can forget the trap. A snare is for rabbits: when you've got the rabbit, you can forget the snare. Words are for meaning: when you've got the meaning, you can forget the words.
This is one of the most hilariously awesome things that has ever happened to me:
Patreon sent out an e-mail congratulating the top 100 Creators of 2014, but they didn't BCC it so everyone who got it could reply all. Well, people just started replying to the e-mail chain and joking around and now myself and 99 other "important internet people" are just using it to shoot the shit. Like, literally, Tim Buckley (cad), Erika Moen (oh joy sex toy), Zach Weinersmith (smbc), Zoe Quinn, Nika Harper, a ton of other cool people and myself are spamming eachother's in-boxes and trying to see if we can get Patreon to send us cookies.
Best. E-mail. Ever.
Wasn't Zue Quinn the one who did the thing and the #notallgamersbutmostofthem and something?
Yes. #quinnghazi
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
Anyway I like that documentary, not cuz it's about an old hotel but because of the huge burden it places on that family. What a horrible responsibility to have weighing on you.

Ovid wrote this in 16 BC, but all you'd really need to do is change the gods to say, catholic saints, and it could be written by any modern dude today.
Corinna lies there exhausted in danger of her life,
after rashly destroying the burden of an unborn child.
I should be angry: she took that great risk
and hid it from me: but anger’s quelled by fear.
All the same it’s me by whom she conceived – or I think so:
I often take things for facts that only might be.
Isis, of Paraetonium, and the joyful fields of Canopus,
you who protect Memphis, and palmy Pharos,
and the land where the swift Nile spreads in its wide delta,
its waters flowing through seven mouths to the sea,
by your sistrum I pray, by the sacred head of Anubis –
so may Osiris love your holy rites for ever,
and the slow serpent glide about your altar,
and the horned Apis follow your procession!
Turn your face towards us, and spare both in one!
Then you will grant life to her, and she to me.
Often she’s taken pains to attend your special days,
when Gallic laurel crowns your worshippers.
And you, Ilythia, who pity girls struggling in labour,
whose hidden child strains their reluctant body,
be gentle with her and hear my prayers!
It’s proper for you to demand gifts for yourself.
I myself, in white, will burn incense on your smoking altars,
I myself will lay at your feet the gifts I vowed.
I’ll add an inscription: ‘Naso, for saving Corinna!’
Make that occasion soon, for the inscription and the gifts.
If it’s still possible to warn you, girl, in such a state of fear,
let it be enough for you to have fought this one battle!

I am not a Realz Gamerz and I don't really pay attention to super-important gaming bullshit the way some people do
but I have definitely seen a photograph of a naked Tim Buckley holding an Xbox in front of his junk
that is a permanently bad sector on my braindisk now
Just be thankful you aren't an underage girl or there wouldn't have been an xbox.
What would it have been? A WiiU?

Well Ares has very clearly survived worse, so you've got your work cut out for you.
Mr Draghi rejected any criticism that the vast expansion of the ECB's easy-money policies would stoke inflation down the road, noting that inflation has stayed very low even after several interest rate cuts and abundant ECB loans to banks.
"There must be a statute of limitations for those who say there will be inflation," Mr Draghi said.

They are tricky.
I found the first Graphics Gems book useful when learning how to write a simple ray tracer
and that's cool, i suppose.
it's not what was intended.. what was intended was people funding Shakespeare
but instead we get human cat dick fucking and a horrible webcomic

It's not the internet. It's humanity + anonymity. The internet is our true self.
Imagine what life would be like if we abandoned those higher ideals for the sake of image, and everyone sat around fapping while playing with cats.
which person is that
scott kurtz?
I can't wait! PAX East is going to be a ton of fun. I have a big bro hug prepared for you, so fair warning.
that sounds great
have we also invented replicators cause why do anything else
