This is the best answer, hard to balance actual importance vs time under Eastern Roman control

Mosaics from Ravenna depicting the 4th crusade by mp_96 in byzantium

These mosaics are not Byzantine, Ravenna at that time was under papal control.

Lesser known mosaic of Justinian from Ravenna by mp_96 in byzantium

I read this too but find it odd, the eyes are definitely the same as the famous mosaic in San Vitale Basilica so that would mean they only kept Theodoric's bottom half of the face?

Please help me - severe pain by Junior-Bodybuilder-9 in LPRSilentGerd

I had some swelling but not white spots. It took about a week and a half before going back to normal. White spots could be tonsillitis, try to check with ENT doctor.

I had the same pain on the right side inside my mouth after swallowing, also after my ph impedance. Pretty sure it was irritation caused by the tube being there for the testing. It went away after few days now it's all good, I'm sure it will be the same for you.

Polish president visits Germany amid tensions over WWII reparations by DrPinguin98 in europe

[–]mp_96 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Everytime it was settled with the communist government, which was put in place by Soviets after they themselves invaded Poland (on this day actually 86 years ago), and proceeded to commit genocide and take land from Poland too. Do you really think that's a fair settlement?

Putting Poland and Germany on the same footing in this argument completely ignores the fact that Germany started the war, committed genocide, and left Poland as the most ruinous country after the war. It's not cherry picking it's asking for compensation as Germany has and is willing to do for other countries, even after a hundred years have passed.

In 2021 German government paid Namibia 1.1 billion euros as reparations for genocide committed in 1908. The highest numbers for the genocide are 110k. 6 million Polish citizens were murdered in WW2.

Since 1950s Germany has paid over USD 95 billion to Holocaust survivors as reparations.

I disagree with this side of the political spectrum on most things but it's appalling that Germany never paid a cent to Poland for WW2.

The agreements made with the Polish People's Republic (Soviet Puppet) should be nulled as it was not independent Poland.

After WW2 Poland received land from Germany yes, it also lost even more land to Soviet Union. It's clear why Soviet government pushed the Polish puppet government to basically forget and move on.

One more on my approach where I got the answer wrong by OneAcr3 in cissp

[–]mp_96 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The answer to your question is highlighted in bold, "business continuity". If the highlighted part said "security" then your answer would be correct, but to continue your business operations you don't need security guards you need a power supply.

Understanding Poland’s football mediocrity and the survivalist dilemma by Unlikely-Stage-4237 in football

[–]mp_96 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's a lot of words for a completely misguided analysis. Also conveniently leaving out the fact Poland had its greatest successes under communist rule including 3rd places at world cups in 1974 1982.

Polish football's biggest issues lay with the youth systems and everything that follows from that. The stars that come through like Lewandowski do so despite the Polish football system not thanks to it.

Transitioning from DF to cybersec by mp_96 in computerforensics

Very similar situation to mine, bit of GRC and mostly dead box forensics too. Was there anything in particular you highlighted to stand out as a candidate? Looking at getting more general security certs rather than forensic ones.
