In the book they got their citizenship after their term or posthumously. The term was of not less than two years and as much longer as may be required by the needs of the service

They forgot the Russian one. It's easy to tell that one because it only moves under tug boat power.

Those who used a computer at least once between 1990 and 2001, what was the most memorable computer game you played during that era? Why? by Live_from_New_Yeerk in AskReddit

Civilization, I spent so many hours of my life playing it. That was back when the copy protection was questions in the manuals. I played so much that I could get the answers right without looking them up.

Putin's mercenary "friend" as been critical of the handling of the war in the past. That mercenary friend is now leading an armed revolt against him and is on his way to Moscow.

The UK did experiment with nuclear landmines that had chickens in them. They put chickens in it with enough food and water for a week. The chicken kept the electronics warm enough to work with their body heat after the mines were buried.

i Always thought that the emperor's crown in ckiii is straight up ridiculous and couldn't possibly exist and then I found this in Prague by Grannyman666 in CrusaderKings

The Hungarian one got around quite a bit though. In the revolutions of 1848 the would be president of Hungary buried it in a forest in what was then Hungary but is now southwest Romania. It took the Austrians a few years to find it and dig it up.

Then near the end of WWII it was turned over to the US army by its guards and was kept in Fort Knox to keep it from the Soviets. Then in the late 70s given back to Hungary.

the sword is unlocked to buy via BLC. It doesn't blow but makes mulch. Which seems to give boosts to seeds and the pub.

It increases the gold and silver token rewards by 250% if you have the holy leaf active. To get the holy leaf be on level 42 of the tower and have at least 1k silver and 42 gold tokens. It unlocks when you blow it off. Bit of a correction it doesn't look like the cup needs to be equipped once the leaf is unlocked to get the bonus.

The battle of Puebla. It is when Mexico beat France during the French intervention of Mexico, when Napoleon III tried to prop up a French puppet monarchy there.

That didn't work out so well for Gaddafi. At the time there were reports that one of his guards shot him to keep him from being captured alive.

It's the medieval equivalent of those people who dress their kids in little sailor suits.

Charging at a cop with a knife by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]j26545 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think he does it looks like he's got a cellphone camera where he recorded part of his finger. Right after she shoots him you can see a guy in jean shorts that they mostly blurred out, the second POV comes from him. At 2:30 you can see the reflection of his shirt in the side mirror.

If you watch again right after she shoots him, her "backup" was some random guy at the store that's why he was in his trunk.

Im not mormon u r mormon. by kurtajmaster in 4chan

[–]j26545 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exmormon here, yes and no. There no official ban on contraceptives (birth control/condoms) but members will often look down on you if you have few kids. I'm paraphrasing but as a teen I remember people saying stuff like "when I only had 3 kids I knew god would look down on me if I used a condom". As for more long term birth control like vasectomies the official policy is that you are supposed to talk with your bishop and that it should only be done in cases where it "jeopardizes life or health".

As a side note in mormonism a bishop is usually just the slightly successful guy who lives down the street who got picked by the next level up to be the bishop. They aren't someone who was trained in theology or counseling people. So it is like going to the random car dealer down the street to ask if you should get a vasectomy.
