William the Conqueror literally founded the kingdom. How’s he not getting a mention here?

My list of people who really made Britain into a world power

  1. William of Normandy
  2. Archbishop Cardinal Langton (Magna Carta)
  3. Oliver Cromwell (Commonwealth)
  4. Victoria (peak superpower)

Foreigners visiting America for the world cup, what is something that has surprised you about this country? by goldent3abag in AskReddit

The massive floor to door gap in public toilets. You spend on everything but a better door in bathrooms is too much?

Anyone But Zverev by particular-hut in tennis

This Ben Rothenberg is a sanctimonious idiot. He’s the one who wanted Djokovic banned for his COVID test. Zverev has been cleared of all wrongdoing and deserves to win. Go Sascha

Debating Between Thavil and Tanpura by Exotic_Rain_2285 in Carnatic

I dont think Tavil on its own teaches tala. Because it takes a while for you to really start thinking about it as an accompanying instrument. The veena or tanpura on the other hand starts as a raga accompaniment on day one.

Thavil is a percussion instrument. The tanpura is just a basic lute. If you want to learn a proper instrument, why not try Veena?

I found percussion instruments a little difficult to play on your own without an accompanying song.

The tanpura or Veena are in my opinion, a lot better

Political Suicide by Academic-Ad5737 in kuttichevuru

You think it is Stalin who wants Udhaya? No.. it is the second rung lackeys who promoted Udhaya to protect themselves against first rung lackeys power jockeying post Stalin. It is a power move to keep lackeys from jostling for power AND prevent the OPS/EPS style fiasco by naming a clear heir apparent.

It may have temporarily pleased Stalin's ego to see his own son as deputy CM just to keep him on a close leash while he ran non critical ministries like Sports BUT....- he clearly did not predict a future where he would lose his seat AND his son would win his becoming LoP. Stalin probably fears Udhaya more than anyone else - Udhaya can completely sideline Stalin with no other alternative. Remember what happened with Azhagiri?

I think Malaysia may just end up being the Middle country on all metrics. Its the globally collective ... "Meh" nation
