  • The Last Kingdom did such a good job showing how

    1. Mundane medieval warfare was since it really wasn't often grand scaled. Post Roman Europe was mostly small skirmishes with occasionally large scale warfare, but it was few and far between until probably Charlemagne (citation needed. I am NOT a military history guy.)
    2. Brutal. There was no even match up. It was either a one sided slaughter or the battle didn't happen.

  • The Battle of Thermopylae where king Leonidus and his "300 spartans" (it was actually a few thousand of a coalition force) held off the Persian invasion of Greece.

    The plan was to use the narrow mountain path to pit a few of tgeir well trained soldiers against a few of Persias rank and file. The idea being a few well trained soldiers could take out a lot more rank and file if they didnt have battle tactics to worry about.

    What caused Leonidus to lose that battle is an alternate route through the mountains that let the Persians flank the Spartans and probably totally destroy them.

    What's mind blowing is this was hundreds year old history when Rome tried the same thing.

    This one spot is famous for losing battles and ancient people loved choosing this battleground and then losing

  • I just want busses. That tears up nothing.

    I just want bollards protecting pedestrian and bike traffic. That tears up nothing.

    I want passenger trains between cities where there's already railing. That tears up nothing.

    Is this honestly a bigger ask than a decade long rebuild of an interstate that will need another widening in 5 years after?

  • I actually said they're a net negative and I stand by that.

    Lithium mining, their fixed short life spans, and the problems of car focused cities as a whole are not addressed by going all EV. Marginally better than combustion? Sure. I'll give you that.

    But ultimately its manufacturing and the lack of repair ability make it bad over all.

  • How far back in time could you go with your skills?

  • That's true. I'm young ish and fully vaccinated so I've got a lot of years on humans from most of history.

  • Jesus would probably get on my nerves.

    He never called people by their names and gave them weird nicknames and spoke in riddles like a guy who fried his brain on weed and LSD in college during an ethics class.

  • Gods, this is how I sell public transit to pro car people.

    I am traffic. I want to be off the road and in a bus.

    I just don't want my bus ride to be over an hour and a half long when the car ride is 10 minutes.

    I'll settle for a bike commute because that's 30 minutes but it would require riding down a major road where the only thing protecting me from a car going 60 MPH is a painted white line and trust.

  • I do think there's a debate to be had as to if were in a "better place" then if Clinton had won

    If she had won, we wouldn't be better off relative to 2015. We would have been in the same shit we were in 10 years ago with a housing crisis on the rise and COVID would have still happened and probably wouldn't have gone too radically differently.

    Wed still have increased income inequality and we saw under Biden that the main Liberal answer to climate change is Electric Cars which net doesn't help and in fact worsens our e-waste issue.

    Obviously, I don't know this is how it would have gone for sure, but the democrats really haven't given me much to believe in.

    So would we have been "better off" with a dem successor compared to the 2015 status quo? No I don't think so and I think we all knew that and it doesn't inspire people to vote or participate in elections.

    Would we have been better off to what we got? Yeah probably. But that's stuff we didn't completely know until hindsight kicked in. I think we all assumed he'd be a lame president and not a modern Commodus or Nero.

    Now, I don't subscribe to acceleration ist views, but there is that view point as well.

    Under that ideology, we are better off compared to a Clinton or Harris win because they would have subdued the flakier radical elements in society longer.

    Trump being president and his flagrant disregard for our status quo system is a massive stepping stone towards a revolution of some sort to hopefully fix the problems of our 2015 society plus the additional inflated issues by Trump.

  • I want to believe we could have a woman president so long as she ran on something other than being a wet noodle that's trying to be #relatable more than just being a good candidate.

    Or better yet, running on something more than

    "Are you really gonna let Trump win?"

  • I'm on year 5 of fully committed to Linux everything (minus work) and I still assume "oh yeah I can probably just sudo force the thing I want. Reading logs takes too long" and yeah it bites me in the ass sometimes.

    Its weird to hold Linus (Tech Tips) to such a high standard for no other reason than he makes tech YouTube videos.

    I'm a fucking sys admin and I make the same mistakes. Its human. I'm glad he's at least making Linux seem accessible while also bringing to light the realities of how different the troubleshooting strat is from Windows to Linux.
