    Script itself wasn’t invented for poetry or stories or history but for bookkeeping. Who owns how much and who own whom what amount? Let’s write it down.

      I know it’s a typo, but “who owns whom” is also correct…

    This is actually a moon mining ROI breakdown from Eve Online. Long story short, you lose one drone and you’ve wasted an hour.

    But seriously, great share, thanks!

      Its actually the Plimpton 322 is a Babylonian clay tablet, believed to have been written around 1800 BC, that contains a mathematical table written in cuneiform script. Each row of the table relates to a Pythagorean triple, that is, a triple of integers that satisfies the Pythagorean theorem, the rule that equates the sum of the squares of the legs of a right triangle to the square of the hypotenuse. The era in which Plimpton 322 was written was roughly 13 to 15 centuries prior to the era in which the major Greek discoveries in geometry were made.

      Rorq moon mining in TYOOL 2025? Has it become viable again? I thought excavators are now like 130mil, but I haven’t played in a few years

    I like that you can still sorta tell that the universal convention is preserved where the last column is for comments.

    Wait until this guy learns how people used to send letters instead of emails and that paper was used instead of word.

      During the period this tablet was made, letters were also written in clay. My favorite part of this is clay envelopes were also made for documents, and they sometimes contained similar information that we place on envelopes now. Other times they had a condensed version of the document instead

    It has broken edges not because of weathering and age, but because it was thrown to the ground when the self referencing formula kept locking the whole database up.
