This was a project by the soviets in the 80s as well. I know there is a well produced YouTube video on the subject, but sadly it must be named something incomprehensible like "the forgotten Russian project to turn night into day." Because I can't fucking find it.

Here's a Smithsonian article instead. here

Yeah, if your main form of offense/defense is that you are: large, and have massive fuck-off tusks on your front then charging seems to be a pretty good go to.

Pikes were used much the same way right? Surprised I never put the two together, ancient humans weren't stupid so of course they'd realize that was a better way of causing harm than just throwing it. Not to mention their use of leverage in weapons like the Atlatl. No clue on the timespan of these things but I do find this stuff interesting.

I had to read hatchet, which comes close if I recall.

I have the ability to listen to whatever I want at work so I hardly ever fail to finish a book unless it's really not pulling me in.

I wouldn't go so far as to say it was nowhere near as good as the first two but it certainly was different and not in a way I found interesting. A bit slow to get to the point I guess is how I would say it.

Made me think about sentience more than the first two, though I don't know if it alone provided enough info to really do anything beyond those initial moments of "huh, I guess that could be the case."

I believe story graph either has or will have that feature. Or there could be monthly posts on books about it, should someone interested in running it show up.

Wouldn't be a bad idea to have a bookclub on the fediverse really.

This is a comment under a meme disparaging those who think that way, to assume I'm agreeing with the comments in the picture is disingenuous at best.

I believe you misunderstood my point, by all means celebrate having representation in Motorsports. I was talking about the comments treating that as somehow ruining Motorsports. For me as a person very well represented all over the place it doesnt hurt me to see a woman drive a car, but for the little girls in the world that dream of a racing career it could be the difference in pursuing it or just giving up due to social pressures.

I just want to see cars go fast in a circle. Not sure why the driver matters.

Got an 18tb from serverpartdeals for 160 I think.
