Mass starvation is one step away from mass murder i.e. genocide. The world leaders should be ashamed.

Fun fact: the math "sub-stackoverflow" is owned by the American mathematical society iirc (do correct if wrong) and they reserve the right to up and leave and set root elsewhere outside the network.

SumatraPDF can.... But it's a Windows only program (run with wine, perhaps?)

Coincidentally Luigi wears green 🤭

 

We got most of pop media, academic journals, and books covered, but what about photographic media?

Related to the Bunga Mas^1:

According to a Kedah source, the first time a bunga mas was sent, it was sent as a toy for a new-born Thai prince who was the grandson of Sultan of Kedah himself since his kin, a princess was married to the Thai king^1.

This then set the precedence of Malay Sultans being "required" one way or another to send Bunga Mas to Siam. The culmination of the meme is the Siamese invasion of Kedah in 1821^2 partly due to the Sultan ceasing sending bunga mas, making Kedah Sultanate, the progenitor of the practice, existn't for a time.

* This is a Malay expression meaning paying interests. The principal is the pokok (tree) and the interest is the bunga (blossoms).
