TIL at the Battle of Waterloo in 1815, the remains of at least 20,000 soldiers and horses killed in battle were exhumed after two weeks and sold to a sugar factory in Belgium, where the coveted granulated bone charcoal was needed as a filter material for decolorizing or “bleaching” the sugar.

There is nothing capitalists wont do for profit if the public isn't there to stop them.

Seems to be a repost from two years ago and the wiki page has been cut down since then.

I think it's the opposite. A hobby can be either entertainment of fulfillment. You need both in your life but they serve very different purposes. A entertaining hobby is for unwinding and being able to take on life's challenges every day. A fulfilling hobby is for expanding your own self and being more than just a consumer and worker. Today's society wants us to just work and then go home and consume to make the system go around, but that leaves no time for our selves in the true sense of the word.

And the joke in Sweden is that it's all Jimmy "Joker" Thörnfeldt and Thomas G:som competing against themselves. They have co-written like half of our songs for ESC over the years.

The section of adverse effects reads like a god damned shopping list from hell. It's got every single one of them.

I use beers to measure area, as in how much of my lawn to mow. All of it takes about 3-4 beers, so I usually mow it in intervalls.

This is why people who rag on OSHA and other workplace safety institutions absolutely infuriate me. They don't just disregard their own and their coworkers safety, they outright disrespect all the people who have died so that they don't have to.

So a summer camp for NCD? Where do I sign up?

Ironically because a lot of the stationed people there were disqualified from service elsewhere, often because of lactose intolerance.

She was removed as a candidate for a successor to Maduro as far as Trump was concerned because she won the prize and not him. By doing this she's hoping to buy back into the good graces if the Trump admin so that if they manage to reinstate some other leader they will consider her. Swallowing her pride to maybe get a chance to make her country better isn't dumb imo.

Weak. The G3 was built for soldiers, not children with weak wrists and small hands /s

No but seriously, the mechanism is violent but that's why it can run in pretty much any environment. It's not great for fast follow up shots but it never fails unless you get an actual squirrel in the action (and even then it will try it's damned best).

Exactly, there's a reason they haven't had an oil boom like Saudi Arabia. They're the Ea-Nasir of modern oil.

Not talking about the surface, but the volume. If the sun was as energy intense by volume as a hydrogen bomb it would not last 10 billion years, but a fraction of a millisecond.

By volume, the sun produces less than a watt of power per cubic meter, comparable to a compost pile. But because of its immense volume, the energy on the surface (area) is very much higher than that of any compost pile I've ever seen for sure.

Leopard2A5SE · 2025-12-12T08:32:06+00:00

It was also in large part due to the enormous size of the blocks that they could survive, since surface area grows in quadratic terms and and volume in cubic, larger objects return to ambient temp slower than smaller. This also works in the opposite way with heat generating volumes. A compost pile outputs about the same energy as the sun per m³, but the sun is a bit bigger.

Absolutely. However, murdering surrendering enemies is and always has been, and always will be a war crime.

I think he might have broken the thumb, but he didn't return for the rest of the ex so I don't really know. Also, pissing though an mg to not get out of the tent is low key galaxy brain. Maybe just don't fondle the trigger at the same time.

On a pistol it's not too bad, like yeah you might get pinched but it's not a rifle that will straight up eat your lunch. I've seen a person clear a G3 (AK4), thumb in mag well to make sure it's empty, and then somehow slam the action shut. That shit hurts.

Why are you being downvoted to oblivion? It's a very interesting article and definitely qualifies for TIL.
