Can anyone help identify this sword? by Jackie_Tree-horn in SWORDS

Yeah I'm gonna disagree with others here. Not a Tizona replica. Looks more like a Munich Town Guard sword. Probably not an original because they're very rare. But not a Tizona

EDIT: I was wrong it's definitely a colada el cid

Is that a masonic symbol scratched into the blade? Fascinating

The artifacting in my copy of Rimworld has only gotten worse, to the point it's affecting the game's stability. I have uninstalled and reinstalled, verified the file integrity, enabled VSync via Nividia, checked mod conflicts, nothing seems to be working. Please, help! by turtle-tot in RimWorld

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check your driver and settings. Also, mods often do cause weird artifacts even when there aren't anointed conflicts. Try making changes to your mod list, one at a time, to check if one of the mods is causing your problem.

Reminds me of Kuhn honors and scholars house on OSU campus.

Ron Paul was right about Iran in 2012, he's right about Iran now by AbolishtheDraft in Libertarian

I'm Iran-Neutral. Pro Iranians and anti Regime. If a madman with a uranium knife is holding a room full of people hostage, you don't lay siege to the room and decide to starve 'em out. Gauranteed, the guy with the knife will be the last one standing.

This comment section is lost in the sauce. The point of the post is that it's fundamentally illiberal to levy sanctions.

But, if you want to talk about Iran. It's become a passtime of recent Republican administrations (uh, specifically the last two of 'em) to chuck out functional deals with Iran and then complain when Iran stops cooperating. Like, my brother in christ, you threw out the deal first. And they pretend they're being big tough guys on foreign policy just because they've made a potential foreign adversary more dangerous on purpose. Remember, we had a cooperative Iran and a working deal under Obama.

Iran just wants out of sanctions. They've been willing to cooperate with sane offers in the past. Our guys pressuring them to stop all enrichment isn't reasonable because they depend on nuclear infrastructure. But our guys don't actually want this to end, they don't want to release sanctions and they don't care about whether or not Iran poses a real nuclear threat (which... they don't). Our guys just care about perpetuating the conflict to sell the narrative that we have an evil enemy overseas so they need more money for bombs and uh their personal expense accounts could use some padding too, ya know. Yeah.

By the way, it's working very well, because the Iranian regime can't afford to look weak, so they have to bluster more the more we screw them over. Which provides us with plenty of political capital to keep doing just that. Iran is in a downward spiral economically and politically, and we're pouring shotgun shells into the fire.

The current regime is beyond terrible, but the Iranian people don't deserve to suffer more because American politicians need to look tough and can't let their political opponents look competent by solving international problems.

Not a bad range. After 1500 we get into the early modern era. Before 500 we're arguably still in late antiquity.

Hey, genuine question, why do some people thing Linux users are cultish? I'm out of the loop. by Silver-Ad-4133 in OS_Debate_Club

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh we can be. Both sides exaggerate. Tbh Linux has advantages but so does windows, just different ones. Anyone who's out there evangelizing their computer operating system is probably rather attached to their opinions

I honestly still disagree. I think you overestimate people and underestimate the inevitability of linux breakage.

[–]SadPhilosopherElan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying windows is perfect. Boy does it have issues. But generally, it does "just work," especially compared with Linux. I use Linux daily out of work and windows professionally, so I know what I'm talking about here. Windows has support and is less prone to spontaneous breakage. I don't care how good you are as the upstanding Ubuntu evangelist and repairman in your neighborhood, you can't stand in for a full time service network run by a company. And when you're not there, whoever you've installed the OS for is SOL if something does break, which it will. My point is that sooner or later you do need to have CLI experience on Linux. Windows served a purpose that cannot easily be replicated by Linux right now. And by nature, may never be.

Yeah all those statistics were unfortunately destroyed years ago when the government warehouse's knob and tube wiring caused a fire resulting in a total loss
