  1. Someone's gotta keep the streets clean of trash.

  2.  @Psykroids  oh look, the guy upset about people resisting Nazi occupation is subbed to fascists. Color me surprised.

  4. ChilledfromGames from the sounds of it, replace the inheritance with bribery and the gadgets and batsuit with with an out of uniform posy of (likely corrupt and thugish) cops. ...so no, not batman.

  5. In one word: entropy

  6.  @ytcorporate9237  he won't give you a real definition, because to do so would be to admit that terrorism is specifically (among other factors) hitting non-military targets and that occupying soldiers can't, by definition, be dirrect victims of terrorism, and he so very much wants to paint the people fighting the Nazis as the real "bad guys"

  7. They're pouring water on sand to make it a surface such that the sled won't dig in. This technique has been tested and shown to work, greatly reducing the work required to pull the blocks over the surface that actually existed between the river and the pyramid locations. Transporting it over hard flat surfaces (which I don't deny that sand would help with) is the easy part and doesn't require someone standing on the sled pouring the stuff right in front of said sled. You seem to be mixing up the challenges of moving the blocks to the construction site and lifting them to height.

  8.  @DC-fo3bn  on the contrary, we find evidence that international trade predates agriculture, which we wouldn't find if humans were so warlike. Likewise, we don't assemble into tribes of anything close to breeding populations (and it would take far too much death and injury to try and solve that violently). Further still, wtf would Stone age nomadic people be warring over? Land? They're nomadic. The risk-reward answer is to just move away from particularly bloodthirsty tribes. Violence has always been with us, yes, and even (usually remarkably safe and highly ritualized) group vs group violence, but it is largely the development of sedentary civilizations that leads to war in any recognizable form which is why it takes so much work conditioning humans to think of other humans as animals or monsters or conditioning them to kill before thinking to get humans to kill each other out of anything but self-defence, defense of another, or extreme passion.

  9. From day 1, there have been quite a number of people who haven't been too into this who democracy idea and think that the "lessers" should just serve and obey their "betters" (Spoilers: look up the origins of "left vs right")

  10. cjxgraphics that's what a surprisingly large amount of the world comes down to. There was even a story a few years back about how a huge Wallstreet firm was basing hiring of their upper management on if you belonged to the right fraternity....and sadly no, I'm not making that up....in many ways a handful of really powerful frat houses come unnervingly close to indirectly controling the world.

  12.  @BuckBreaker  oh look, someone who's subbed to at least 1 Nazi doing apologetics for a fascist coup in the US. Imagine my surprise.

  13.  @AmarhB  they don't want to teach how frequently the uber-rich turn to fascism to stop even social democracy from helping the conditions of working people.

  15. Late but Scott Manley is also pretty excellent on this subject

  16.  @BuckBreaker  just be honest, everyone that checks your subs knows what you really mean. You hate FDR for defeating fascism.

  17.  @Ebani  a situational extreme from a species that isn't a nomadic pursuit pack hunter (like us) which we are only slightly more related to than Bonobos which are drastically different behaviorally. That doesn't prove what you think it does.

  18. I still remember running into my first KVs back in the early days of War Thunder when the damage models favored armor more, there were fewer and less powerful AP round and the earliest KVs showed up as being the only heavy tanks in that tier. My experience was very much like what was described with them seeming indestructible....thing one time in sheer desperation though I managed to kill one with a flak panzer (not the 88mm version, but the dinky rapid fire one) by getting right in front of it and empting multiple clips into a vision port though. Playing the KVs was tricky too though, as all the good players on the other team would have learned the weak points and gang up to target you before you could sweep their field. The KV2s reload time was insanely slow too, so you had to be really strategic with it, but it would absolutely wreck just about anything even with just an HE shell from the shock and spalling killing the crew.

  20. I mean if we're talking "noble" as in sinking to the level of feudal lords and "revealed" as in backlit by the flash of nuclear energy passing through your body maybe....but I don thing that was how the author meant it.

  24. A natural source of radioactive material is far more likely, be it something produced by geologic activity or having fallen from space, but the possibility of ancient people's bestowing some religious importance on a chunk of radioactive stuff and closing it in a box is not entirely out of the realm of possibility.

  25. See, the thing is it's decades old and he's dead and that leaves just the xenophobes (who tend not to care about the environment) and enviromental activists (who have bigger and still living fish to fry)

  26. While I'm not against nuclear in the long run, the fastest non-fossile fuel energy sources we can build are solar and wind, not nuclear.

  29. Possible the quarried blocks of limestone went to the reportedly brilliant white exterior stones which the pyramids were stripped of as well as to much smaller tombs to less important people which haven't survived to the modern era.

  32.  @twilightgeneral777  my school's history classes were all over the place and skipped everything between the rise of Rome and the American Revolution unless you took an AP course which let you learn some European history from as "early" as the 1600s. Our school curriculums make no fucking sense at all.

  33. These are interesting factoids, but truth is all you really need to learn about golf you can get from Robin Williams and George Carlin (RIP, also NSFW due to politics and language, of course) https://youtu.be/rjKw8KZxUN0

  35. In addition to the exploding rockets problem, the energy requirement to lift it out of Earth's gravety well is cost prohibitive to the point where you'd be better off using a different energy source.

  36. Copper is theoretically good due to increased heat capacity (like cast iron) and good thermal conductivity making for even cooking, though the difference is very unlikely to be worth the price. Teflon shouldn't really affect cooking, though if it's coating a crappy thin pan as is often the case, the pan sure will. Age and/or mishandling (usually scraping with anything hard) a teflon pan will cause it to flake, at which point you should probably throw it out, even if the health concerns are minimal to non-existent. If you're really concerned about it though and want the non-stick properties, I hear ceramic coated ones come close and are harder to mess up (unless you drop them of course). Improvements in ceramics are likely why you're seeing less teflon rather than any ban. It's fairly non-reactive stuff.

  37.  @swisski  I've had scones before, good ones and bad ones. Scones aren't biscuits, so even their closest thing leaves them wanting (though, to be fair, finding a decent scone on this side of the Atlantic is a trial)

  38. ...nevermind that if they DID have a high level of chlorine, they'd smell like a swimming pool and eveyone would notice...also, since when is chlorine white? Have these people never seen bleach?

  39. The rockets that keep crashing and exploding? Those ones?

  41. dufasduck simple, superglue activates in the presence of water (even just humidity). If the humidity in the manufacturing and bottling is 0%, there's no chemical reaction.

  43. The 50 year old reactors are gen 2. Modern reactors are "gen 3+" and gen 4 is on the way.

  44.  @paulmobleyscience  that has nothing to do with my correction to the OP and the EMP problem has nothing to do with what energy source we're running power from to our homes. I agree we should be building renewables as quick as we can but that comment was just a bunch of irrelevant statements stacked together like they made a point.
