Let us hope it’s as ineffectual as the last one, Bach.

Hey! If it's good enough for Mohammed...

Really all it means is she’ll go the way of Cynthia McKinney. Look for a David Duke endorsement soon.

@Jolly said in Navarro Is Right: Bull-headed, but not stupid. When the outcome is the same, it won’t matter whether it’s bull-headedness or stupidity that led to the outcome.

@Renauda said in A Standing Army: @Doctor-Phibes said in A Standing Army: Also, just to put things in perspective I’m in the UK this week. No sign of any problems at all around here on the mean streets of Herefordshire Of course, the very seat of the House of York. Wigmore Castle was the home of Richard Plantagenet, third Duke of York. As usual it’s those flaming Lancastrian lands in the north causing all the upheaval. Damn troublemakers. The police are gearing up for another round this evening. I get the feeling government patience is running out.

Thank you for admitting you aren't entirely sure of what you're talking about.

The chariot came about because of the size of the average horse. The horses of the time were similar in size to Welsh ponies. The first fighting vehicles were four wheeled carts with four side rails. Hard to turn, hard to clamber out of the box and heavy. Then came the chariot. Three-sided box on two wheels. Two horses, much faster, much easier to turn. The chariot morphed into a more rounded (but not round) front with side panels that sloped down in the back, making dismounting and remounting much easier. The Battle of Kadesh was the largest chariot battle... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Kadesh The Egyptians and the Hittites used their chariots a bit differently. Egyptians had a driver and an archer. There was a quiver on every corner and the archer would work around the driver, to get his best shots. The Hittites used a little heavier chariot, with a driver and an armored spearman. Sometimes, they'd add a third man to the chariot, armed with a sword. Once calvary came about, goodbye chariots...

@Wim More like it. All things considered, the Russian rail system is working quite well. Someone I know travelled on it last September and said that was very pleasant and relaxing. Much better than in the Yeltsin or Soviet times.

Unlike elsewhere, in SE Asia religion is what adds sizzle to the rabble’s flambé.

Duke endorsed Trump too in 2016 and then in 2020. Maybe the guy just wants some attention?

@Mik said in How long to preheat cast iron to cook a steak: But not for half an hour. The benzene from the gas stove would kill you. Oh, no. Plus, it’s an electric. But beyond that, it’s completely unnecessary. Cast Iron is fantastic at heat conduction and retention. No need to have it at temp even as long as stainless steel..

@LuFins-Dad said in British Riot Thread?: I’m kind of surprised there wasn’t a thread about what’s going on in the UK. Edit: I see you already found that not to have been the case..

@Mik said in The Fed may have decided the election: Assuming one can grasp a point. He can't be that damn dense. It has to be a game.
