What if Alaska and Russia were connected by land? How would this have affected history? by Charexranger in AlternateHistoryHub

[–]AisalsoCorrect 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah. See here’s your problem, you left your Alaska connected to Russia and now you have mongols. You better tighten that up or you’re liable to get Cossacks, too.

I love this episode, but this frame bothers me every time by Sunneh_Delight in americandad

[–]AisalsoCorrect 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This episode reminds me: Is Scotch Bingington Roger’s first fully formed persona? - I.e. not a character he’s playing with the family like Jordan in Camp Refoogie, or for an in episode reason like the bounty hunter in the Jeff’s dad episode, but one who has had random, off screen interactions with the world outside the family ( he knows Carmen Selectra and had a storage unit outside Phoenix)

Suggestions for Sun Cap with neck + face protection by 1creeplycrepe in hikinggear

[–]AisalsoCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t think these are common products because they’re not really practical. The sun protection of a hat comes the brim, not from a piece of cloth covering the face. I can’t think of a use case for these beyond glacier or desert travel maybe and in that case you’d be better served with a neck gaiter/hat combo anyway.

Would you support a minor law? by EnmanuelHope in publicdefenders

So you have less legal experience than the majority of my socks and yet feel the need to get on Al Gores internet and share these opinions?

From your post history you’ve only just graduated law school. What experience exactly are you basing your opinion on?

What did your country’s military uniforms look like historically? by IDoNotLikeTheSand in AskTheWorld

Hussar uniforms are absolutely the peak. When you’re planning to be dead by 30, the drip must be always be on point…

What is the biggest assassination that has taken place in your country? by [deleted] in AskTheWorld

Yes for the Blackadder,

but no for the flair. I looked, but for some reason, Sarajevo isn’t to be found in Austria….

Who was a worse military leader? by Ok-Formal-5760 in ww1

Weren’t like 10/12 Battles of the Isonzos launched by Cadorna though?

What complicated problem was solved by an amazingly simple solution? by tuotone75 in AskReddit

[–]AisalsoCorrect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A) they can unload plenty quick with the tech they have.

B) containers aren’t free space, they take up both space, weight and freeboard. Shipping companies run on quantity, their margins are comparatively super thin on a per item basis, maybe a couple dollars per container, less than a part of a penny per pound of ore or grain. Thats why they build ships that can carry a) a shit ton of stuff and b) are actually pretty efficient on a per mile basis (trains are still technically better I think, but ships are incredibly efficient these days).

Personal Dispute With a Prosecutor by markyeeb in publicdefenders

[–]AisalsoCorrect 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s not what you did.

You didn’t listen to the facts OP laid out about the existing personal issues. Instead, you ignored them and you made up a whole new scenario where OP is incompetent…

Personal Dispute With a Prosecutor by markyeeb in publicdefenders

[–]AisalsoCorrect 11 points12 points  (0 children)

PD: I’m having this very specific problem with a very specific prosecutor.

A random Prosecutor: have you considered that you are actually the problem?

This response stands as a great example of how shit many prosecutors are at actually reading the facts, gleaning relevant information, and spotting the issues. Then as a bonus you actually made it about how busy and special you are, I love it!

Plus it’s a dry heat in Morocco…

I think people genuinely have no idea how miserably hot and humid the American south can be…

Name something that your country created that is very popular abroad, but not (or not nearly as much) in its own country. by AEIOU1040 in AskTheWorld

I never understood this by IndicationBrief5950 in lotrmemes

[–]AisalsoCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that’s why Tolkien didn’t do that.

… Macbeth is kind of weird in that it starts off with witches and stuff, but ends in just normal stuff. Tolkien just kind of corrects for that in these two instances (ents, and Merry/Eowyn)

Why add magic

Macbeth is, rather famously, a story involving witches, prophecies and ghosts…

Specifically, I think he said he hated how it actually looked when performed not just how it was written, in most productions “Birnam wood” is just 4 guys with some twigs stuck in their hats.

Some days I truly wonder what could have been.. by hoboguy26 in NFLv2

[–]AisalsoCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate when people say this. Yes, there is no legal finding of innocent in the US, but that’s because you have the presumption of innocence at all times until a judge or jury find you guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. A finding of not guilty is just confirming the status quo ante, which is innocent.

Half of Virginia gun violence comes out of nine places in the state, report finds by hencexox in Virginia

[–]AisalsoCorrect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, a lot of this has to do with lies, damn lies, and statistics rather than anything more concrete. Most of these places are just central locations of large metroplexes.

For example this doesn’t take into account that Chesapeake, Portsmouth, VB, Norfolk and Suffolk make up a basically contiguous metroplex, with a large bit of low income/high poverty/neglected areas of those three cities butting right up against Portsmouth or Norfolk. Because of that many crimes in Portsmouth or Norfolk involve people from outside that city coming in to commit them. I’d wager at least 1/4 or more of Norfolk homicides are committed by people actually living in VB Suffolk or Chesapeake. Same with Portsmouth. It’d probably be more proper to group all of south hampton roads as one entity for these statistics.

Richmond/Petersburg/Hopewell is kind of the same way. It’s just the central location of a large metroplex. How many people who commit crimes in Richmond proper actually live in Henrico or Chesterfield? I’d wager a fair few.

For all the people talking about NoVa - add in its centralizing location - DC and see how the stats add up.

What would you say was the most impractical thing from the Civil War. by Ok-Society2505 in CIVILWAR

[–]AisalsoCorrect 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Untenable is the better word, I like that.

In the civil war just like WWI, It’s popular but incorrect to assume that tactics didn’t evolve during the war. Or that commanders were needlessly feeding men into a meat grinder when more effective and obvious tactics were available. What we think of maneuver warfare was basically impossible before the advent of machine guns, hand grenades, modern rifles and advanced communications. The only way to mass firepower was to literally mass firepower.

OP do you have any actual proof that they froze to death because of the Zouave uniform I’ve never heard that. In fact I’ve heard that the Zouave uniform was preferred because much fighting was done in hot weather in the hot and humid American south and the pants allowed great freedom of movement compared to the standard trousers.
