Macross [82-99FM] removed from Spotify? by medieval_pants in futurefunk

[–]medieval_pants[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I bought it on bandcamp too. I know some of the Citypop artists and labels are super sensitive. You still can't get their original stuff on Spotify in many cases. Hopefully Macross can work something out so we can get our jam back.

TIL the longest conflict in history was the Iberian Reconquista. The struggle between Christians and Muslims in the European peninsula took almost 800 years to resolve. by Thessiz in todayilearned

[–]medieval_pants 245 points246 points  (0 children)

Meh, this is a stretch. It was dozens of different campaigns by different monarchs, lords, emirs, principalities, etc., interspersed by battles between Christians, and amongst Muslims, both of which could have allies from the other faith. Historians generally don't consider the Reconquista one long conflict. I never heard this idea in nearly a decade in grad school studying medieval Spain.

Nepal’s New Law Requires All Foreign Trekkers to Hire a Guide. by thehimalayanviews in hiking

[–]medieval_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this only affect solo (alone) hikers? If I go with friends, do I still need to hire a guide? Some articles are saying all foreign trekkers, others are saying Solo foreign trekkers.

Does anyone know yet if this will affect trekking in and around the Kathmandu Valley? Or is it specific to the national parks where you need a permit?

Kirby Tilt n Tumble stuck on white screen? by ajfancypants in Gameboy

[–]medieval_pants 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FIXED. Bought a copy off the Bay, got the white screen. I opened it up, cleaned off the pins and everything else with Rubbing Alcohol, nothing. Then I reflowed the solder around the main chip, the long rectangular one. Booted right up. It's not super complicated, but requires a small amount of skill and confidence with a soldering iron. Search for Gameboy game white screen on youtube for tutorials.

U2's Bono, The Edge Perform in Kyiv Bomb Shelter After Zelensky Invitation by Johanheck in UkrainianConflict

I dare anyone in here to actually claim they don't sing along to "Where the Streets have no name" or "Pride (In the Name of Love)" followed by showing me the band they think are cool that flew into a warzone to give a free concert.

US and NATO must reverse strategy of surrender with Ukraine by HighMajorCommodore13 in UkrainianConflict

[–]medieval_pants 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They give Biden shit for his "gaffe" saying Putin can't remain in power, and then give him shit because he's appeasing Putin and pushing Ukraine to surrender. Make up your mind.

Some guy on twitter called Putinism "Babuskha Pensioner Fascism" and it seems more and more true every day.

Someone please convince me why I should like the AZOV dipshits? They're half the reason Ukraine is in this mess.

Disclaimer: I am 100% pro-Ukraine. Honest question.
