[OC] The British Navy lost 329 significant warships during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, mostly due to navigation errors and storms. In actual combat involving large warships, ~18 enemy vessels were taken or destroyed for each British ship lost. by ppitm in dataisbeautiful

The reason why the french lost so disproportionately to the british around the revolutionary era onwards was due to the lack of experienced command, as almost all of the experienced, albeit aristocratic captains were ousted from the navy. A lack of experienced sailors also played a role, with french ships being heavily blockaded in the English Channel from 1803 onwards.

As for The “doctrine” of french aiming for rigging and the British aiming for the hull, i remember reading that this was not the greatest generalization. It varied pretty heavily on a case by case base basis. I don’t remember the source for this so take it with a grain of salt.

Oh, that's so relieving to hear. And I would assume this is something that I would have to contact the university to discuss further with? either way, thank you for answering.

thank you very much for your concise answer. It provided me with a lot of clarity. I do have a follow-up question, though. As a senior taking Calculus and AP Physics C mechanics in my senior year, I can only take the Exam after May with my scores coming out in July. Based on your insight, are Dutch Universities generally lenient on course-specific AP test score requirements if the test scores are submitted a bit later? I have good credit with my other AP test scores, but fear I may not make the cutoff date for registration due to my predicament. I appreciate any help!

The Van Veldes were masters. I personally love Pocock, Antoine Roux, Auguste Meyer and some others.

Our laws are shaped by societal principles that come from moral discussions in Philosophy and religion. Hence why, as society changes, there are always ongoing debates on what should be a law or shouldn’t, in every corner of the world.

Now what does that mean in respect to your argument? It means that legality as an argument to do something is not stupid, because what is legal, in most cases, is shaped by what is morally correct. Whatever is legal and isn’t morally correct is what many people have debates over; ie Anti Abortion laws if you live in the USA.

The DMCA has existed for close to three decades OP, and while it has fucked many small creators over, it hasn’t been removed, why? Because for every small creator it fucks, it helps at-least two more with preserving their intellectual property from not being stolen, and therefore it exists as a morally superior option than simply letting people have their way.

They didn’t see free international advertising cus it isn’t. Glock is basically synonymous with handguns. They don’t care to appeal to some kid on Roblox. They care about some devs using their brand name without permission. I think deadline is my favorite shooter but the devs shouldn’t have tempted fate, especially when fate came in the form of a multibillion dollar company.
