Yep when I first joined I thought it stood for main Instance.

That is some surprisingly good VFX for a meme. I wonder if the background is fully CGI or if they recreated it and cut.

While this is funny, I’m pretty sure it isn’t real (or it was intentionally written poorly)- It doesn’t make any sense in Chinese either, and most people in Hong Kong know English at least somewhat.

Nope, smoothbore muskets were/are much more accurate than most people think, here’s a video of someone shooting at targets with one, and they were able to hit a man-sized target out to 150m. By modern standards it isn’t great but definitely not “flying all kinds of directions”.

The Youtuber Brandon F has a 4 part series talking about why they fought like this. Spoiler- it wasn’t because they were stupid.

Part 1

TLDR- if you split up you just get run down by enemy cavalry.

Part 2

TLDR- a close formation lets you concentrate your firepower at one point.

Part 3

TLDR- a close formation makes communication and controlling the army much much easier (or even possible at all).

Part 4

TLDR- the formation makes the troops less likely to run away.

You can do that? I don’t use Spotify so I didn’t know.

He’s a wizard, the revolver is actually firing shrunken 16 inch HE shells.

Assuming an average of 4 minutes per song, that is 7 years and 8 months of music. I wonder how much time the ads would add?

Perfect, if your playlist doesn’t give you severe whiplash every few minutes you’re not doing it right.

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?

It really depends on accent. For me, half of these sound very different.

I need multiple layouts because I’m bilingual.

I need the other languages, instead I disabled the hotkey to swap.

A similar thing I’ve run into where a feature that usually wouldn’t get activated much gets in the way because of games making you input weird patterns is the Windows language swap hotkey, alt-shift. I play a game that uses alt and shift a lot, and involves quite a bit of typing, so I kept getting confused why my language was suddenly different. Took me ages to find out why.

Here’s some music to get you into the festive mood.

Same way as English, by combining preexisting words. For example, ether + net + port = ethernet port. In this case the first two characters (that’s what they’re called) mean “net” and “road”, combining to mean “network”.

I think adding new characters is very, very rare. Would be kinda like adding a new letter to the alphabet.

I would say that getting healthier and fitter is absolutely useful, and so is entertainment.

But anyways, some sports can be useful for training purposes (Ever heard of the Firefighter Olympics? It’s really cool).

Also there’s also stuff like people jogging/biking to go places, and sailing maybe can also fall into this category though I don’t think it’s a thing anymore. (IIRC in the 1700s there was a sort of sport where ships would race each other across the Atlantic to deliver stuff as fast as possible. Not sure though, take with grain of salt.)

Motorsports have no defensive player and do not involve much physical movement (unless you count the car’s movement).

Giving a cat a bath involves a defensive player (the cat) and significant physical movement (depends on the cat’s mood).

The main advantage of early guns wasn’t that they were more powerful, it’s that they were easy to use. You can train someone to fire a gun in a day, while it takes months of training just to get an archer strong enough to draw a bow.

Also the whole “the Europeans were dirty diseased peasants” thing isn’t accurate, and I have to say that IMO the right response to racist depictions of indigenous people as unwashed savages isn’t to just turn around and say “actually the stereotypes are correct it’s just that it’s about the Europeans this time”.

And Indigenous people had more advanced technoglogy than many give them credit for but "The Europeans were technologically behind indigenous people in nearly every way. " is just blatantly wrong.

I do think you’re right though that without smallpox and other diseases the Europeans wouldn’t have colonised the Americas, though there were several other major factors in it.

P.S. I’m not a historian, grain of salt, etc.
