When my sweet precious, my heart, had lain down too,Įach of them in turn kissing with the tongue, each in turn. My lips are too small, they know not to kiss. īoth lip and tongue kissing are mentioned in Sumerian poetry: While kissing itself was not directly associated with disease transmission in Mesopotamia, certain cultural and religious factors governed its practice. Ancient Mesopotamian medical texts mention a disease called bu'shanu, which may have been related to HSV-1 infection. The shift in dominant lineages of the herpes simplex virus 1 (HSV-1) during the Bronze Age implies that cultural practices like romantic-sexual kissing could have contributed to its transmission. Advances in ancient DNA extraction have revealed pathogen genomes in human remains, including those transmitted through saliva. The act of kissing may have unintentionally facilitated the transmission of orally transmitted microorganisms, potentially leading to disease. Kissing was present in both romantic and familial contexts in ancient Mesopotamia, but it was subject to social regulation, and public display of the sexual aspect of kissing was discouraged. Evidence from ancient Mesopotamia and Egypt suggests that kissing was documented as early as 2500 BCE. However, recent studies challenge the belief that kissing originated in South Asia around 1500 BCE. The earliest reference to kissing-like behavior comes from the Vedas, Sanskrit scriptures that informed Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, around 3,500 years ago, according to Vaughn Bryant, an anthropologist at Texas A&M University who specialized in the history of the kiss. The fact that not all human cultures kiss is used as an argument against kissing being an instinctual behaviour in humans only around 90% of the human population is believed to practice kissing. Another theory posits that the practice originated in males during the paleolithic era tasting the saliva of females to test their health in order to determine whether they would make a good partner for procreation. Others believe that it is a learned behaviour, having evolved from activities such as suckling or premastication in early human cultures passed on to modern humans. Those who believe kissing to be an instinctual behaviour cite similar behaviours in other animals such as bonobos, which are known to kiss after fighting - possibly to restore peace. The word came from Old English cyssan ("to kiss"), in turn from coss ("a kiss").Īnthropologists disagree on whether kissing is an instinctual or learned behaviour. In some situations, a kiss is a ritual, formal or symbolic gesture indicating devotion, respect, or a sacramental. ![]() Depending on the culture and context, a kiss can express sentiments of love, passion, romance, sexual attraction, sexual activity, sexual arousal, affection, respect, greeting, peace, and good luck, among many others. ![]() Cultural connotations of kissing vary widely.

![]() It’s possible to swoop in and buy up great properties at auction if everyone else wastes their money buying garbage. Adding in this key rule– which has been in the game since 1933–adds a whole different dimension into the game.

You’re up at the cottage, it’s raining, there’s a copy of Monopoly there (of course). ![]() I myself bought Monopoly: Legend of Zelda edition for my son because…well, I forget why, it seemed like a good idea at the time. Monopoly’s an ideal brand because it’s baked into our collective consciousness and it’s been licensed up the wazoo with over 200 different versions that people buy as novelty gifts or for their kids or grandchildren. Or if you want something more recent, how about Brass? Or Stockpile? And if it’s trading and deal-making you like, have you tried Bohnanza? Chinatown? I’m the Boss? If you want a good economic game that doesn’t take forever, how about Acquire? It’s been in print for more than fifty years and still cleans Monopoly’s clock in terms of gameplay and strategy. I’m not going to go over all the reasons Monopoly is outdated and flawed you can read them here. Every time.But if you’re like me I’m sure the question you’re asking yourself is.WHY? WHY WHY WHY? Why do people spend so much time playing such a flawed game when the state of game design has improved sooooo much in the 85+ years since it was first published–or, at least published under the name Monopoly…see here (or don’t, if you want to preserve your state of naive bliss). It seems the forgotten rule has resurfaced again, with someone retweeting, saying: "While we're all sitting at home freezing our literal ar*** off this holiday week, just want to send out a friendly reminder to everyone playing Monopoly with their friends and family.

The modification is applicable to most cars and trucks with reduced scripts that is, vehicles which are solely destined for use by OMSI's AI. That is essentially the reason why I am posting this as a tutorial, rather than in the form of a "supported" modification. What this means is that if you decide to use it, you will absolutely be doing so at own risk, and are certainly encouraged to take backups before proceeding with the installation. one that is incomplete, poorly tested and generally sub-optimal. But before I get there I would first like to emphasize that what I am presenting here is a proof-of-concept modification, i.e. After that I will briefly explain how the modification works. In the remainder of this post I am going to provide the proposed script and configuration file modifications, as well as installation instructions. All that basically needs to be done, is to override the default condition evaluated by the vehicles' scripts in order to determine whether it is time to turn the lights on or off. Fortunately, like buses, AI-driven OMSI cars' and trucks' behavior is to a great extent scriptable. So, the intention is to add some "perceived randomness" into the way AI-controlled vehicles handle their lighting-related functionality, particularly with regard to (de-)activating their headlights. The second issue, on the other hand, can be combated in a multitude of ways, one of which I am going to present in this post. Of those two minor issues, unfortunately, no workaround that is both generic (as in that it is applicable to any map) and easy to employ is currently available for us mortal "end-users" (as in not being map or object authors) for the first of them. ![]() Similarly unrealistic is the fact that all AI-controlled cars and buses switch their headlights on or off at the same millisecond whereas in reality -at least for the time being and until real-world AI-driven cars become the norm- human drivers exhibit quite different behaviour in that regard: some (typically younger ones) just leave their vehicle's headlights turned on all the time some switch them on when a single cloud appears on the horizon, and some (typically older ones) only use them at night or when it actually gets really dark. Which is just unrealistic, since even in recent years -let alone in the 80's and 90's- the street lamps found in most EU cities are still controlled by plain timer switches (that are often not even properly synchronized) rather than modern light sensors. One of the subtle annoyances which I have had with OMSI all along, is that all of a map's street lights go on or off simultaneously, if it gets darker or brighter than a threshold, respectively. While the installation instructions still apply, the script replacements themselves are obsolete, and the ones given in post #2 should be used instead. Note: This post is only retained for the initial incentives behind this mod. ![]() “His story of being one of the first great Russian athletes to defect to the United States/one of the first big name defectors from the Soviet Union, is worthy of consideration (on the list of the top individual players for hockey card investments), if we put aside the USA-Russian tensions for a moment.” Obviously, he mended the fences,” added Ross. Today, he is a Colonel in the Russian Army as well as the current head coach and General Manager of CSKA Moscow of the Kontinental Hockey League (KHL). And at one point, running away until he was successfully defected.”Īt the time of his defecting, Red Army coach and commander, Viktor Tikhonov wanted to promote Fedorov from private to lieutenant, but it also meant that Sergei would have to sign a 25-year contract. I think it involves either trench coats or leading him through various backdoors. “And I think that the historical importance of that is worthy of investment consideration. Ross, a former reporter for WBBM CBS 2 Chicago, Detroit metropolitan area native and Red Wings fan continued: “This was a star player in his prime/approaching his prime, a young elite talent that the Redwings snatched from Russia and brought him into the United States.” I will also say that there were a handful of Russian players who came before him, but this was different. ![]() “I feel like it’s (collecting Fedorov’s cards) worthy of (investment) consideration for historical purposes. ![]() “I remember that there was a wonderful story of how the Redwings like smuggled him out,” said Jeremy Ross, a former television newsman, long time sports card collector/seller (30 years) and industry advocate. In August 1989, Gave, who spent five years in the US Army as a Russian Linguist, somehow managed to meet with Fedorov and Konstantinov, whom the Wings had also drafted, and slipped them each a Red Wings media guide with a letter hidden inside that made it clear the Red Wings wanted both of them in Detroit and were willing to do what was needed to get them there. Gave was asked by Red Wings executive vice-president Jim Lites to pass a secret message to Fedorov at an exhibition game in Helsinki where his Soviet national team was playing an elite Finnish club. Here is the link to the first, but I suggest you read the whole series. The Detroit Free Press published an excerpt of his book, in five parts, in spring of 2008. Their destination was decaying, extreme urban blight Detroit in the early ’90s, where they helped build a dynasty. In “The Russian Five: A story of espionage, defection, bribery and courage,” Keith Gave, a former spy who would later become a journalist, revealed his clandestine mission to Helsinki, Finland, which covers how Sergei Fedorov, Slava Fetisov, Vladimir Konstantinov, Slava Kozlov and Igor Larionov were all able to somehow slip out of the Communist USSR. With that in mind, the thrilling story of how the Detroit Red Wings smuggled in eventual club legend Sergei Fedorov, a tantalizing tale that many of us haven’t heard before, is more relevant than ever. And given the current state of relations between the United States and Russia, the Cold War era zeitgeist of the late 1980s/early 1990s is the status quo once again. The Stanley Cup Playoffs will commence shortly, and that means there is no time like the present to talk some hockey. ![]() Outside, you can choose and prep your preferred vehicle, outfitting it with acquired liveries (sponsored decals), novelty horns, and windshield toys (including bobble heads and fuzzy dice).
