With the resurgence of HBO war due to Masters of the Air, I figured y'all might like my phone wallpaper for the past year or so:

There's really not too much of my own work in this. I just took the original color picture of these easy company fellas...

...and extended the color. I also added some misty clouds/mountain peaks to make it a little bit nicer. Maybe if I wanted to be extra fancy, I could find that exact view of the Alps, but yknow.

Feel free to use! I had this for about a year and a half and haven't changed it, so it must be pretty alright haha

In the 1890's, the American ethnographer James Mooney traveled to the land of the Comanches to gain an understanding of the Comanche Peyote Ceremony. He eventually saw the ritual as a fountain of honesty and of true spiritual inspiration. Mooney soon began to see the medicinal value of the peyote to tribal people as well. In the encounter with well-known peyote men, Mooney realized that the Comanches were one of the early users of peyote within the teepee ceremony. As he was welcomed into the Comanche peyote meeting, he observed the gathering very closely. For the meeting, the famed Comanche Chief Quanah Parker who was the main protector of the ceremony had the elder Red Sun command the all-night meeting of fellowship. Of the respected old great warrior Red Sun who was also known as Puiwat (Without Eyes), Mooney would later share that Puiwat "was blind and very feeble" yet "when it came to his turn to sing the midnight song, he took the rattle and sang as vigorously as any of the others." After the meeting was over, the Comanche participants posed for a group picture beside their teepee for James Mooney. They were shown posed in front of Quanah Mountain. In his later report at the Smithsonian, Mooney shared that the peyote was not to be feared. It allowed him to pursue a commitment to help preserve tribal ways.

The female programmers of ENIAC (Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer) - the first programmable, electronic, general-purpose digital computer, completed in 1945. ENIAC could be programmed to perform complex sequences of operations, including loops, branches, and subroutines. However, instead of the stored-program computers that exist today, ENIAC was just a large collection of arithmetic machines, which originally had programs set up into the machine by a combination of plugboard wiring and three portable function tables (containing 1,200 ten-way switches each).
