Wood is definitely better than nothing, but I don’t really see a situation in which this thing would need protection against small arms anyway. Unless something has already gone horribly wrong, those small arms are a significant distance from your artillery. At that range, they are already effectively worthless because their lack of rifling makes them horribly inaccurate.

If I had to guess, you would mainly be worried about union sharpshooters (maybe) and artillery. At that point the only real advantage of the wood is the obstruction of sight.

It doesn’t look like it. They did sometimes use a kind of turntable to allow regular cannons to easily change direction, but I don’t think the same was done with these.

Wood still wasn’t strong enough to sustain a lot of fire even from those rifles. The confederacy just didn’t have enough iron.

I’m no expert but I’m fairly certain its pregnant

They need to just pick an age and stick with it

Even if someone called me a “male” constantly it would kind of freak me out. They are theoretically interchangeable, but male or female just comes off less “human” I guess. If they choose to only ever say male or female then it makes you wonder if they literally perceive you as inhuman.

It probably gets annoying as a bystander, but I don’t have a lot of opportunities to bring aviation into the rest of my life. Especially in a way that’s mildly funny.

How am I supposed to just stop using this word?? How else is the plane supposed to tell me to put thrust at idle during landing? This is ridiculous.

Not doing well so far tonight

Yeah its just you. I like to judge people based on their actions instead of their race and name.

Irrelevant to what? Their race is relevant to some things and not others. The race of those two men is not relevant to this specific situation. If they did something wrong, it wouldn’t suddenly be right if they were a different race, and vice versa.

Those two men who’s race is irrelevant by the way, do all of the actual work of making a textbook. I think its ok that they expect that work to be treated as their own.

This is only a big deal because it reminds people of actual injustices natives suffered at the hands of white people

Maybe they should just write their own textbook. Seriously, imagine asking someone to do the monumental task of creating a textbook on a nearly undocumented language, and then expecting them not only to provide as many copies as you want for free but also not to copyright it. Completely fucking delusional.

The language belongs to them, not the textbooks. Why would you have the rights to a book you didn’t write, that is about something you own? What were they expecting?

Usually children know when they are sensitive to those things and can avoid them pretty well. How should a child know they are more sensitive than others to potential negative effects of capsaicin?Also, this brand of spicy ramen will be a lot easier to get rid of than literally everyone that produces peanuts, milk, and shrimp.

Maybe we could find a way to test kids and see if they are susceptible, and then coach them to avoid this ramen at all costs, but that’s a lot more work than simply recalling the product that is poisoning children.

Ok, then I agree it shouldn’t be sold anywhere.

Unless it is demonstrated to be genuinely dangerous, it should be sold as normal. If no one liked them, they wouldn’t sell.

Or its because they have the right to assemble. Not saying cops are great or anything, but its absolutely a good thing they aren’t shutting down events based on their opinion of the people who run the events.

Here’s a video by Tim Cain that I think covers this topic well: link

That’s very interesting. I may have to add that to my vocabulary

This is how I eat them
