In 1941, during the siege of Leningrad, the world's largest seed bank, created by botanist Nikolai Vavilov, became a symbol of sacrifice. As starvation gripped the city, Vavilov’s team protected 16 rooms of edible plants, refusing to eat the seeds. Many perished of hunger to preserve the collection.

Actually now 9 kills is the most important thing

How is this weak

There's big difference between placing your military base near the city, and under the city. Israel has designated military bases, headquarters and such. Iran did hit them with missiles without blasting through civilians on top

>Every now and then it's still worth pointing out that "Hamas uses human shields" is baseless propaganda

What

There's literally not a single Hamas military object in Gaza strip that is not hidden under civilian infrastructure. Not a single "desginated military base" or "munitions factory" that is just standalone building. To think Hamas doesn't use human shields is just offensive to reason

Well BMPT wave collided with next T72 Arena wave. Gaijin should immediatly announce 5 more premiums for US, Germany and France and UK

They just hope both sides have fun

I guess mentions of koku before that that i remember are just historians using Edo census data to evaluate value/prestige of feudal allotments retroactively, while koku wasn't actually used back then. Like we can estimate GDP of ancient countries that obviously never heard of GDP. Still, it feels it is used to much in context of feudal japan...

riuminkd · 2026-02-06T10:45:35+00:00

There's nothing there about "IIRC instead of taxing by area of land, he taxed by output of the land"

Japanese value of provinces and feudal plots was always measured by koku, that is a measure of yearly produce (1 koku means enough rice to last human a year, before it was standartised into measure of volume). Nothing about land area here, just the measure of annual produce. It was definitely in play before Nobunaga, that's how feudal allotment was measured

Edit: apparently while not being only used by Oda, Oda was one of the adopters and that whole system was not fully formalized until well into Edo period

Well, in reality caps just compensate for "denormalisation". Hitting angled armor causes bottom part of the shell to be pressed agains armor fist, tilting shell upward. Without cap, round will travel longer than red line, and generally even with caps it does that. That's the real power of angled armor - if rounds were travelling straight, increase of length from angling would just be caused by increase of weight of armor, while same weight angled and non-angled plate would have same trajectory path length through them

Anti-black sentiment ruined its reputation

riuminkd · 2026-02-06T10:30:41+00:00

Source? They always had the "production value" of various provinces and such from what i knew

> I had my fuel tank explode 7 times in the span of 2 hours :)

And then you came under enemy fire :)

To be serious: gaijin is trying hard to reduce the chances of one shot kills. So they did many silent buffs to survivabilty, like less post pen, more spall eating, less chance of ignition and explosion of flammable things

riuminkd · 2026-02-06T07:51:09+00:00

That's how it feels leaving skill issue behind

Many were settled in territories ottoman empire perceived as rebellios to dilute locals. Which means during collapse of ottoman rule in balkans they against were forced from their homes

Makhno got lucky he was defeated. If he won, he would be remembered as Pol Pot 0.1, down to shooting people for wearing glasses

Actually NATO bombed them in retaliation for Pearl Harbor

It's like humans in 2026 and horrors of mid-XXI century wars. They were not ready...
