Very recently he said “freedom came from the East”. A famous quote of his goes that he didn’t even notice the Velvet Revolution (fall of communism im Czechoslovakia). Not so lomg ago he went to put flowers on the grave of a head communist party member.

He sure remembers history - but sees it a little differently than you or I

Oh yeah, axe I can see. I was thinking swords.

Would love to see some sources or testing that would supportnyour claim.

I don’t think cutting clean through chainmail is realistic - thrusting is very much so though!

That, or dagger in the gaps!

I feel like OP is after stuff that is easy on the stomach. Beans are not exactly known for that.

Cutting or stabbing through full plate armor with a sword. Why would anyone wear an armor that is easily cut or stabbed through?!

To cross the width of space, their technology must be far ahead of ours. Imagine a modern army fighting one from the 18th century, and you could imagine what a tank, a machinegun, modern artillery or whatever other aspects would do. BUT: There is also the point that we would fight locally, while they would need quite long-winded logistics.

In regards to the long winded logostics (I read this from a second hand account and I’m sure this idea is from some scifi book) -a really fun idea is that if the aliens would send a war fleet our way and it takes say 50 years to get here… it is reasonable to assume that in those 50 years the aliens will do some technological breakthrough in both drive and weapon departments that by the time the fleet would get here a more advanced fleet would already be fighting the war - possibly even already won.

I hope Hungary manages to break free of Orban.

Amomg other things because I’d find it hillarious that Fico would find himself completely isolated in EU.

The Broken Empire trilogy. Also Red War trilogy, which is spin-off (though uses these themes a bit less)

It’s not only barring teeth, dogs also do a “submissive smile” in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and “smiled” a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

Deep down, I understand that movies like Matrix are old… but John Wick?!

Very happy with Linux Mint

I use a Steam Link, but that’s no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don’t have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using “1900s” didn’t help much :D

Man rotary phones were the best! Such a joy to dial.

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase “thick as a phone book” was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.

Haha, yeah, I saw that post before finding this question.

No idea how it’s called but the one that goes like “maya hi,maya ho, maya ha, maya ha ha”

I hate that song with a burning passion of thousand suns.

If anybody does it would be the perfect answer on multiple levels.
