…You know how basically all Indoeuropean languages have a word for Canis Lupus that sounds vaguely like “Ulku”? Ulv/Ulf/Wolf/Vlk/Vilks/Vuk/Loup/Lykos? Well, there’s another word, walhaz that started off meaning “Celt”, then “Roman”, then generic “foreigner”, and can be found today in exonyms all over Europe. It didn’t occur to me that Latin wouldn’t have had it, since they were the Vlachs in question.
I mean the Welsh/Waloon/Wallachian/waelsc word for “those people over there” that all the rest of Europe seems to have. It’s not unheard of for neighboring people to call eachother ‘vlach’. I just never noticed Latin doesn’t have it.
…I just realized latin doesn’t have the “w” foreigner word.
Or contamination. Could just be something environmental.
There’s also that both PRC and ROC claim the area. IIRC, Taiwan actually claims three extra dashes.
Festivity Doctrine, if you will.
Or with good enough guides.
Frankly, yes. It’s refreshing to see “he’s a fascist” people actually taking their own argument seriously for once.
Ternary computing is some serious alt-history fodder.
From what I hear, the war spending is still pretty low, all things considered. This could just be another autarky subsidy.
It’s like he became the opposite of King Midas.
It’s the rightful punishment for misuse of philosophical thought experiments.
Soviet tanks were usually very good tankwise, but lacking in softer stats. Their big problems were that they needed to arm a huge conscript (or even worse, draftee) army, so they hoarded everything past obsolescence and most of it was below standard (T-62 wasn’t that good even back then, but they’re still in service) and the lagging electronics industry meaning their night sights, FCS, and in particular thermals were awful. There’s solid argument that until the advent of NATO “box” tanks and the Rheinmetall 120mm soviet designs were better than everyone elses, but beyond they were quickly overtaken.
It’s certainly better than letting you break the gear, but still, you’d expect reverse to be able to assist with braking.
You do, of course, realize Hitler was put into power by the conservatives, right? Like, von Pappen was Centre Party, von Hindenburg was a nationalist. They turned to Hitler to avoid losing power to the left.
I swear, the best part about threads like these is that you’re all so used to not even reading the opposing arguments that at this point you can’t even tell eachother apart.
…This, honestly, sounds like less of a trolley problem and more of a prisoners dilemma. As in, if everyone enough people defect, you get track 2, if enough people don’t defect, you get track 3, and track 1 is if it’s in between.
Of course, the problem, then, is that it would imply the people aiming for track 2 will defect, people aiming for track 3 won’t, and people aiming for track 1 would try to convince people not to defect, while defecting themselves.
Is this them sucking up to her after the interview?
“Bent” is an old word for “crooked, fake”. It’s not a photography term, it’s plain English, the guy’s just too much of an asshole to clarify.
