Journal Chacham's Journal: Chronicle/Link o' the day: Keyboard, pi, and more 3
I made a stupid mistake with a keyboard. I didn't realize it until after i bought a raspberry pi 3 to replace it. With a total cost of $65.26 (pi, pi plug, dvi->hdmi cable, sd card) i'm glad i have it.
FWIW, the breakdown in price:
$35.00 Raspberry Pi 3 Model B
$8.99 Raspberry Pi Power Supply
$7.99 Shipping
$3.79 DVI->HDMA cable (free shipping)
$9.49 Kingston 32GB Micro SD card ($8.95 + tax, free shipping)
I despise the UN, even referring to them as the UNAI. And now UNESCO (after the earlier brouhaha on the same issue) has decided that the Temple Mount and Western Wall are not Jewish sites.
Ever heard of the NSF funded "Shrimp on a treadmill" study? Here's a video of the shrimp on the treadmill: They ought to turn that into a motivational video. Perhaps the small amount of views over the past decade has to do with an aversion to exercise.
Boaty McBoatface wins the recommendation.
I just found out that "scot-free" is ~500 years old and has to do with taxes.

Isn't it cultural imperialism or something to tell someone of another faith what their faith means to them or which sites are holy to them? I'm trying to figure out how one would determine that the last remaining structure from Herod's Temple wasn't Jewish and that furthermore the Mount on which Solomon built the First Temple isn't Jewish either. So far, nothing's coming to me.

The Jerusalem Islamic Waqf [wikipedia.org]'s Temple Mount pamphlet [templeinstitute.org], until 1950, mention the Jewish history of the site. After that, it started to remove it from their pamphlets [templeinstitute.org].

I am not surprised. If you teach several generations of Palestinian children and international Muslim tourists that the Jews have no claim to the Temple Mount, they'll begin to wonder why Jews have access to the Temple Mount.
