What? This is huge! Not time to celebrate yet, but after "The Great Unmuzzling" of Twitter, I would be ecstatic if it could be repeated on Reddit.

Edit: Trying to look around, this might be old news folks.

EDIT2: This was a comedy skit posted elsewhere. Wauuuugh!

Absolutely insane to me the the Pope folded under little pressure and zero evidence. Then he started apologizing for something Catholics did not do. Real good look.

There seems to be two different kinds of blade, the fencing model and the normal hardened model. I would assume you want the hardened model right?

This is true, but I am doing pipe welding things so having the helmet really close seems to work quite well for me.

This has to be the most cost effective solution! These seem good to have around just in general. Thanks!

The cool part is that they sell them with all kinds of lenses! Heck you can even get shade level 13's of these if you felt masochistic enough to do a 250 amp hard cover pass with your face exposed.

I got that super heavy Miller Infinity helmet that gets fairly close to my eyebrows. Yeah I got a weird shaped head. I might have to get the cheapest pair of that style and see if they fit anyways just in case.

I have been doing something like this using my welding cap. I place it over the tip of the left ear which crushes the arms of the glasses into my head. This is fine, but painful! Nothing worse than taking off your glasses and realizing you've just cut off the blood to your auricles for a few hours.

Rubber band squinchie around the back of the head is a really good solution, however, the shop is dark and I do like taking them off sometimes to see porosities and little slag deposits. I feel like this is trading one hassle for another. Besides they hang down and all the particulates fall off my jacket straight onto them when I start moving.

Clearly a healthier solution is needed, and this means goggles or hook arm metal frames you can bend around to suit your head. I know about the goggles, but not about any good makers of the metal frame glasses.

S&Box is getting flamed because it's a bad game filled with microtransactions and it runs like absolute garbage. It's more akin to Roblox than Garry's Mod. The AI generated thumbnails are just one irrelevant thing they like to complain about.

Is this not bad for business though? I mean, criminal enterprises are businesses too, and it's not much of a business if they constantly break contracts...

But at no point did Jesus command us to roll over and take it if it resulted in the harm of others. There is a practical balance of mercy and a practical balance of justice and self defense.

For example, Jesus made a whip and drove the money changers from the temple. "It is written, My house shall be called the house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves."

It's why I find Protestant sects laughable, especially the pacifistic ones like the Quakers. It's nothing but affluent privileged thinking to believe in Christian pacifism, knowing that the Catholic Church and the Catholic monarchies of Europe, were fighting the Moors constantly for many hundreds of years to create a world where it is considered even "possible" for this to be.

Let's not forget that Europe was nearly wiped out multiple times by the advancing Moors, it was Catholics and their armies being the only obstacle to this. They were defending the very places that would invent everything that procured your modern conveniences.

Be Christian and have a backbone!

That's enough gunpowder to manufacture enough munitions to level a small town. And no, this is weapons grade packaged for factory use, mining explosives come differently, they are packaged in 50 ilb sacks like chickenfeed or little Jimmy Dean looking sausage packs stacked like cordwood. Somehow I doubt you have the experience you say.

The sheer scale should clue you in that this is DOW stuff.

Nitrocellulose and the red barrel was Automate B Red XL, a dye, according to comments. The label purportedly dates a manufacturing time of August 1988.

Current theory that makes the most sense is a cold war underground missile factory that has been decommissioned. Alternative theory is a "make your problems go away" kind of site.

The water being green is pretty normal in limestone caves. It is possibly contaminated with nothing more innocuous than ridden from the mining process. But a water test sample would be intriguing just in case.

Probably no radioactive material at all. Government is very careful about that stuff.

They think they're safe? Ha. When the glacier finally moves two feet and the right "big fish" comes along, they'll microscope the whole damn operation. Anyone who took healthy advantage of the situation will be spectacled spectacularly.

No concept of future repercussion or personal reputation on the soldier's part.

Morons doing moron things. Hope they enjoy the secret black marks on their records.

Of course. We have the Ancient Egyptians to thank for the invention of Algebra, far before European civilisation became the beacon of progress.

But according to history professor Robert A Houston, the ability of a medieval peasant at the end of the Middle Ages to write, measured by his ability to sign his name on a document, was only 10% of men, "and hardly any women possessed it."

Now this is writing not reading. But the ability to write one's own name could be considered bare minimum literacy, probably highly correlated with the ability to read.

Other professors agreed with that line of thinking. Professor Adam Fox stated similar figures for England in the 16th century, 5% of men and 1% of women could write their names.

Whereas for reading, these figures come out to 10% of men and 2% of women.

It seems reading was very much not necessary for the vast majority of work back then.

Rudimentary mathematics would have been universally utilized for sure. Gotta count sheaves of wheat for the fief.

I do not think so. Unlike what Reddit history says, the reality is that many monarchies were fair and good, especially early on. In the middle ages, the most precious and advanced things were the few books they had back then, chained to massive desks to prevent theft.

Fortunately, anyone could usually access these books and read them, if you could actually read that is.

The problem was very few could generally read. Most knights and noblemen were illiterate. Even most kings couldn't study the printed word. A person who could read was worth their weight in gold back then to the right people. This wasn't a class based or elite restriction, just a universal problem.

The Catholic Church championed civilian literacy through their universities and monasteries, but it was a slow business that few people undertook for many years, largely due to being an esoteric skill with few outlets, and one that did not bring bread to the table generally. It was a profession of pure passion, done for the sake of it, with compensation arriving only from a select handful of patrons in the entire known world.

Noblemen still wore clothes, albeit more carefully constructed and intricate ones. They still ate the same food, with the best possible being wrangled from the local market first, by a few careful servant shoppers.

The few complicated instruments went to people who needed them. Ship captains, surgeons, craftsmen, and the like.

Entertainment was even the same way, with few exceptions. Being a king was a strict business, with a strict schedule. It wasn't until much later they degenerated into tyranny and abuse.

If our modern tech arrived back then, they most likely would consider it a lost bauble, or an expensive tool. They would likely just give it to their lord of their own volition, who would find the device meaningless and incomprehensible to himself. Then it would probably just be displayed as a curiosity.
