Article says the ceasefire was originally planned for 4 days, so they made the hunger strike coincide with the end of the ceasefire. But then the ceasefire was extended. But they went ahead with hunger strike anyway? Ok…

Is this news current? Isn’t the conflict in like day 3 of ceasefire? Are they still on hunger strike?

you don’t need a uniform distribution. if the server distribution mirrors the population distribution (and why wouldn’t it?), that will still achieve the desired effect.

Do people not remember back in the 2010s when bit.ly was the main link shortener used everywhere on the internet, and then Ghadafi, the then dictator of Libya, declared the site to be incompatible with Muslin decency norms because it was used for porn? And then all bit.ly links were just dead links?

How many times do we have to learn this lesson? Domain name hacks are fun but just not worth it. And in 2023, now we have all the new TLDs. This was a dumb decision

The point wasn’t that ranged attacks or siege or cavalry weapons are more important than melee weapons, though depending on the battle or the century, that may well be true.

The point was that when it comes to melee, the weapons used by your infantry was never swords. Swords are prestige weapons, expensive and heavy, wielded by wealthy knights and nobility for ceremonial purposes, duels, or tournaments. The king cannot afford to equip a thousand infantry with swords (the way you see in movies like Braveheart or LotR), and even if he could, the infantrymen have neither the skill nor strength to wield them for an extended duration.

Swords weren’t the weapon of last resort. They just weren’t included in the loadout at all, of the soldiers engaging in melee combat. So what did they use? Spears. That’s probably why the OP says spears are king.

But take it with a grain of salt cause I don’t actually know anything about medieval warfare. It’s just a thing I heard.

Modern conceptions of medieval warfare drastically overestimate the amount of usage that swords saw in battle. At least that’s a thing I’ve heard.

For the record, I don’t think safari works this way. Every incognito window has its own session I believe

We call this pose “the strong arm”

Ah. Thanks.

I don’t get it. Are those toppings controversial? What even are they? Pickles?

Zuckerberg owns %14 percent of the 2.5 billion shares of the trillion dollar company.

Yes, he could retire and live off a slice of the profit for the rest of his life. But that’s nothing. Anyone with a few tens of thousands of shares of a healthy company can do that. That massively understates the scope of his holdings.

Facebook could never turn a profit again. Revenue could fall off a cliff. And Zuck could borrow against the value of his assets to get paid handsomely for the rest of his life.

Heck he could shut down Meta and liquidate the company for pennies on the dollar and still have more money than most people see in 100 lifetimes.

the cheevos, for one

It was a joke, but you appear not to have gotten it. Hence the wooosh sound.

Wooosh

Is that a ps3 emulator?

US here. Never heard of swot, spod, or neek. So i definitely don’t think those are imports from here.

Isn’t “geek” originally a circus actor term? Like the strongman or bearded lady. The geek is the guy who bites the heads off birds and other gross stuff.

Did French circuses not include an act like that? What do they call him?

Of course even if they do have that act and there is a French word for it, that doesn’t mean that it evolved the same way in French to have the same anti-intellectual meaning

The central claim would be more persuasive if the evidence weren’t just “I typed it into google translate”. That is a very limited way to see what words a language has

Seems like your style of humor

These tumblrs just reply by repeating the same joke almost verbatim. Four times. Shades of r/yourjokebutworse
