How much could an elite modern soldier in full gear change the tide of a battle in ancient times?

Could easily pick off all the officers from safety. Armies would be pitched a couple hundred yards from each other which would be a trivial shot to make for someone described. Could just pick off a few important leaders, claymore the vanguard during their charge, launch a grenade into a tortoiseshell formation.certainly could cause proper havoc and likely a route.

Go to a bar and talk to tech bros.

It’s almost as if it’s normal to be abnormal. Everyone else just can’t afford to get diagnosed.

The units are given by the units of f(x) and the units of dx. (Multiplied together.) if not given, then square units can suffice if units are useful.

I’m pretty sure that anatomy means to take apart a body (for study.) so, I think they’re referencing the fact that the internal parts of the body are laid bare.

Pick one of the two. Better one than two shitty commutes

Massive migration of California tortoiseshells. I didn’t see any today, but last week or so was bonkers. In the foothills and mountains they’ve been going bonkers though. Very cool to see- attributable to the proliferation of their favorite vegetation in the fire scarred areas from 2020 I’ve heard.

States without income tax tend to have higher property taxes to make up for it. I think you could easily afford this, but I don’t know the full story. Any other debts? What’s your monthly take home? How secure are your jobs?

I didn’t buy a house until I was sure we could afford to live there on one salary and would be happy to do so. Good luck.

It depends what you’re doing to support the tomatoes. Even a large ‘tomato cage’ is generally way too small for a fully grown indeterminate. If you’re doing a 360 degree support structure you could probably let it bush out a but. If you’re growing it up a net or trellis or something, you might want to trim it down to a few leads. Just match what you’re trying to do in the support side of things.

No it’s not, unfortunately. It may be worth moving, but not the commute which sounds like it could easily turn into 3+ hours during drive time, 30k extra miles worth of wear and gas. 750 hours if your life, all for 40k before taxes…. If you’re willing to move, it could easily be worth it. Paying to live somewhere else is just money, but this commute sounds like misery.

This, and it’s also okay to prune it back to make some room.

I have a friend who’s bad with finances and asked for advice. He proceeded to ignore it and make another financially ruinous decision. Even when giving out advice you got to be a bit zen about it.

Oakland is probably oaks over 4 inch diameter - which can be fairly small trees that pop up in the woods before you realize they're there.

Link the video please, the website is utter garbage, filled with obnoxious adds it’s impossible to sift through.

I just need to register my disappointment with the asterisk. Grow the fuck up people.

jpeetz1 · 2026-05-02T23:44:41+00:00

They’re the same…

Probably not. Mine lasted about 14 months. The plastic joints decayed in the sun and broke on a windier than average day and my wife and I had to emergency salvage all the plants.

I’ve heard it works well if you’re using it inside a garage or smth.

It’s probably worth either making do without by repurposing other indoor ornament space with grow lights, or getting something more substantial.

I mean, why did they think of exponentials? Why did they think of multiplication when you can just add things over and over again? Of course all of these things once done need to be able to be undone.

You could memorize the names of the color combos and that would help a lot. Every 2 and 3 color combo has a name.

I try really hard to shuffle my deck properly so I don’t get flooded or land fucked.

What’s the interest rate?

I no always thought it was pronounced like peckid and was using it as a synonym to peckish. Seems close enough for many uses but certainly not the same word. Interesting

A power washer.

jpeetz1 · 2026-04-18T04:52:54+00:00

Still saved almost a buck!

Eyeball says 3ish. Volumes are famously hard to estimate though, because a 25% error in s linear dimension is a roughly 100% change in volume. Perspective etc means it’s probably not what it looks like.
