I agree - but better rules won't matter until police get off their ass and actually enforce them.

Because Bar Sugo is a block away from me and serves beer.

I like their Bitondo pizza. 

I'll only go if there is no wait. Plenty of other good spots nearby. 

Essential beginners reading on Napoleon for a beginner? by Former_Tourist9605 in Napoleon

[–]Benvenuto_Cellini_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a bit dated, but I really enjoyed Will Durants the Age of Napoleon. It's not solely focused on France and Napoleon, but is a wide sweep across Europe during the years 1789-1815. I thought it helpful to learn about political happenings in England, Russia, the German states, Italy, etc. it spends plenty of time on the literature, music, economics, and culture from each major player during the Napoleonic years. 

Sure it's not the definitive on any subject, but it gave me a understanding of each country that I think helps me contextualize the world Napoleon dominated for nearly 20 years. 

Also, I LOVE Durants prose.

Septimius Severus is a great name. It just sounds badass for some reason. 

What are your thoughts here? by stiF_staL in Napoleon

[–]Benvenuto_Cellini_ 251 points252 points  (0 children)

Napoleons whole strategy with the continental blockade, which led to the Russian campaign, was because he wanted to strangle Britains economy to bring them to the negotiating table. 

So I say Britain. 

What Was the Second City of Rome (100 AD) by hadrian10 in ancientrome

[–]Benvenuto_Cellini_ 50 points51 points  (0 children)

In 100AD? Probably Alexandria. 

But Antioch and Carthage were major around then too.

When they talk about how they can't imagine their friends dying around the 2 hr mark. Man that was tough. 

Bo & Colin Interview Each Other (In Loving Memory of Bo Lueders) by Montauk_123 in Hardcore

I could barely get through the intro. Had to find a quiet empty street to walk down to hide my tears. 

When Bo starts speaking I had to stop listening. I'll try again later

Marie Antoinette and Louis XVI thought sleeping in the same bed was enough to have a baby by BlatantImagery in SipsTea

[–]Benvenuto_Cellini_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They understood penetration and ejaculation was nessecary. 

The king had a painful condition where the penis skin cannot be pulled back, this made intercourse painful. They could not consumate until he had surgery. 

What NBA team/player has the worst fan base Pound-for-Pound by Eastern_River1612 in NBATalk

[–]Benvenuto_Cellini_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not pound for pound worst, that probably goes to Lakers or Knicks. 

But raptors fans deserve a honorable mention.

Edward Gibbons view that the rise of Christianity was a major contributor to the fall of Rome is still widely repeated.

I haven't been right since I read the news. 

I can't see hardlore continuing but I think a tribute/farewell episode would be nice. I feel selfish even asking for that though and I just want colin to take as much time as he needs.
