The Odyssey was part of the Epic Cycle, so Homer likely inherited the figure of Odysseus from those stories. Whether he made up the name or the name Odysseus was already established, we simply do not know. Much has been lost to time, sadly.

Odyssey roughly translates to “The story of Odysseus”, so yes, the name existed before Homer’s story. The semantic connection of odyssey and a long, dangerous and arduous journey came way after that.
They become pretty fat, so the energy storage outweighs the increased consumption. I can always tell when they are about to leave because they are significantly round.


B&W2 was meh. I liked the erratic nature of creature behavior in 1, even tho it meant that you had to be more involved. Not punishing your creature for bad behavior was interpreted as encouraging it, which turned your buddy into a scheming, little brat and that was funny. The creature in 2 is way too streamlined.
Blue is always getting pushed. Migratory birds put on fat before the flight to have the energy required for the journey and hibernating species do the same so they can afford to eat very little during winter.
Well of course they do. It’s their mascot.


Talked to a guy recently that claimed ChatGPT has “an IQ of over 300”. Laughed hard, he got mad at me laughing.


Nintendo only sues people that don’t have enough money to fight back.


Chemistry prize makes me nervous.
If you do what you love, you will never work a day in your life.
Usually it’s because they’re not hiring, but some people are just that lucky.


Here is the patent if someone is interested:


As a millenial, I never understood this. Back when we were having LAN parties, we always shared our porn, so I know what pretty much everyone I care about tosses their salad to and they do know what I get off on as well. I’m impervious to that sort of blackmail, it’s like a superpower.


Yes, it’s easy to understand, but this ifelse is much safer because it “handles” uppercase and digits by just returning 0. If you’d call OP’s function with something like ‘A’, you’ll get nonsense data because it doesn’t have a default. (I think it will return whatever value currently resides in eax)
Is that an AI generated thermometer? The scaling makes no sense whatsoever lol
I know 2 people that both had an accident this way. One tore off a tendon around the knee, the other fractured their hand from trying to cushion their fall. And I don’t know that many people.
No wonder the Scots wanted to secede from this mess.


It’s grammatically correct, so maybe just a little jab towards Winnie the Ping.


Not a med student, but I would rule out syphilis and tuberculosis. So I’d have a 1 in 3, not bad, not bad.
The Odyssey was called Odysseia. The suffix -eia is an abstract noun suffix, so it’s sort of like a titular case for the name. Following the same logic, it would be Homereia and thus Homerey.
