Old one on AS: >>710 Read The Temptation of Saint Anthony by Gustave Flaubert. It's a weird book full of obscure Christian sects, Ancient Gods and mythic beasts. Didn't really enjoy the mix of prose and dramatic dialogue, but still an interesting book. It's also my first Flaubert and his vivid descriptions of the Ancient world already gave me a good impression of his prosaic skill. The story is also a nice allegory of the struggle of the modern world. I just wish I had read an edition with footnotes or something, because I didn't know 90% of the Christian heretics and deities mentioned. After that I read The Three Leaps of Wang Lun by Alfred Döblin and man, I did have a hard time getting through it. Terrible prose, Döblin has a completely jarring style, weird sentence structure, he just makes up words or uses them in a wrong context, really not my taste. I have to say that some scenes in this are pretty good, especially the mass scenes of religious ecstasy and gory battle, but overall I found the plot rather lacking and couldn't quite understand the actions of the characters. I wish it had featured more Taoism instead of political revolt and intrigue. I think I will keep away from Döblin for now. >>8934 Very nice. I also think the actual pilgrimage and the pilgrim's stories, the characters he meets etc. are the highlight of this book. It's also a helpful introduction to the Jesus prayer and sometimes I resort to it, but I haven't mastered it like the pilgrim has. I also liked that it has a pretty clear guide how to read the NT regarding prayer.

Germany's continued existence is an insult to the heavens. How can it not be when they have forsaken their father so? It was Prussia that created the nation and what did Prussia get for that? Prussia does not even exist any more. Any misfortunes that fall upon Germany are the result of their own lack of filial piety and their insults to the gods. They do not have the right to exist.

I made this.

Do you ever just realize that you are different from most people, that you don't belong and just lost all touch to others (to the people that are usually called "normies" on IBs)?

What’s your opinion on the “Big bad” on image boards? I don’t think there is any on here but you know what I’m talking about.

It doesn't seem like anyone on /b/ is interested so I am trying here. I have built two SO-101 arms recently and I am trying them out right now. So far I have successfully made them move and teleoperate and I have recorded a couple sets of data for machine learning but I haven't had any luck getting the robot arm to work autonomously so far. My guess is that I need more cameras and better lighting to get a nicer and more trainable set of data. As a little side quest I have reused a Lillygo T-Display as a little controller board for the dataset recording. Pressing button 1 starts and stops recordings and pressing the second button discards the last recording. This means I do not have to switch from controlling the robot to starting and stopping the recording on my computer which makes things a bit nicer (if you consider that you have to do the same training moves for like 30-50 times in a row or more) Is Bernd interested in robotics?

I'm so tired of getting banwiped for nothing on kohl. And this faggot even wipes any /admin/ post asking why.
