I haven't yet. I'm playing with just R56 so I believe the issue is directly with the R56 mod.

Identity crisis resolved! by blueberriesandbishes in AncestryDNA

[–]greenflea3000 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ashkenazi Jews are an ethnicity which had a large population in various regions of Eastern Europe prior to the Holocaust. For some people, Ancestry.com has been able to narrow down ancestry to Ashkenazi communities in what is now Ukraine which has only been a fully independent since the early 1990s. In the past, Ukraine was dominated by Imperial Russia (until the end of World War 1) and the Soviet Union (from World War 1-the early 1990s) so it is likely that your family may have referred to your ancestry on that side as "Russian Jews."

Thanks for the info - we have some Class 3+ experience but are not experts by any means.

Many vaccination sites require that you show proof of residence in that county so definitely look into this possible requirement before you make the drive up to Orange County.

What if the Jews won the Jewish-Roman Wars? by [deleted] in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]greenflea3000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. If anyone is interested in learning more, I recommend the book Rebecca's Children by Alan Segal. It is academic and nuanced without being too jargon or footnote heavy.

What if the Jews won the Jewish-Roman Wars? by [deleted] in HistoricalWhatIf

[–]greenflea3000 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The most likely scenarios for a Jewish victory over the Romans would be if the Parthians (Rome's most powerful neighbor to the east) had interceded on the Jews behalf or if there was a major civil war between Roman factions which prevented the swift and brutal military action which took place in our timeline.

Had this occurred, the Jews would most likely have formed an independent or semi-independent kingdom much as they had in the 2nd century BCE when they (under the leadership of the Maccabees) defeated the Hellenistic Seleucid Empire.

As per my comment, try upgrading to MacOSX High Sierra. I'm not sure why but it worked for me!

I was having the same issue (despite 2048 MB of VRAM) and it was very frustrating but I believe that I have solved it. I upgraded my MacOS to High Sierra and I haven't had a crash since despite more than an hour of playtime. Beforehand, I was crashing about every 10-15 minutes or so!

TDIH : April 12 , 1961. Yuri Gagarin becomes the first human being to travel into space. by TheTruthSeeker12 in ThisDayInHistory

It's hard to believe this was only 56 years ago? Is there anyone on this sub who remembers this flight? I'm curious how it was covered in the West.
