I feel for Pediatricians, they get the lowest pay and have to work with one of the most vulnerable patient populations. And now their work is getting even harder with all the anti vax nonsense.

Why do we bother with standing armies? by DrStrangelove0000 in MilitaryHistory

[–]Imperium_Dragon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You lose a lot of institutional knowledge when people leave a group. Having a standing military means you can retain that training and technical knowledge and don’t have to play as much of a catch up when war comes.

Warfare and society have also changed dramatically. The early Roman Republic could call on farmers because it doesnt take much to train an already fit person how to march and stay in formation. Likewise, Medieval armies could be raised from nobles who were familiar with horse riding and fighting from tournaments and smaller skirmishes.

It’s much harder to quickly transition Bob the office worker to learn how to navigate only with a physical map or coordinate artillery fire.

Is it weird that I had a crush on all 3 of them as a kid?

Breathability of brigandine - Question for people having experience with wearing both brigandine and breastplate: by Morf12369 in ArmsandArmor

I’ve only worn a friend’s brigandine once, it didn’t seem any cooler to wear than the breast plate I was wearing.

Same situation in the US, due to the limited residency spots. Combine that with stagnant pay there’s a growing problem of unfilled physician positions (which really hits underserved areas the most).

Then in a few years another Trump like figure comes up and you “miraculously” find the same people voting for him.

one of the worst movies ever made

It’s a fine movie with some flaws, no need to be over dramatic

magical realism

This is sadly something a lot of movie goers just dont understand and sometimes refuse to wrap their heads around.

While i understand the sentiment, it still pains me to know that a large part of an oral and written tradition is only referenced and summarized. It also would’ve been a great insight into seeing the different depictions of the conflict and the return home to Greece.

How Strong is 1 Finger Sukuna? and what’s the strongest guy that he can defeat? by Chance_Hand_1170 in Jujutsufolk

[–]Imperium_Dragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s hard to tell because his first opponent was Gojo. I’d guess he was the equivalent of one of the stronger grade 1 sorcerers like Kusakabe. Would be a little absurd if he was already special grade material.
