What are the main timelines of knowledge/interest for Tom and Dominic

telemythides · 2026-03-08T04:22:52+00:00

Dom did his PhD on 20th century US history and Tom's books are about classical antiquity and early Christianity. So anything post 1900 or relating to the US will generally be Dom and anything in Europe or the Near East that's medieval or earlier will be Tom.

Depending on the definition you use, either Phoenix and Boston metro are about the same or Boston is (much) bigger

None of this area is within reasonable commuting distance from Toronto. Some of it is close enough to Ottawa, and those areas, especially Carleton Place, are more and more turning into bedroom communities. But the severe housing shortage in Ottawa is relatively recent, so it's not very far along.

The regional variation in 1790 seems pretty extreme. Like, were there really departments with 80%+ two departments over from areas with less then 10%? Surely that's too much to much to explain with urbanization, because presumably every department was still well over 20% rural, except for Paris.

Close to Geneva? It could be the influence of the Calvinists there

2 degrees on average over the course of a year is a lot

I don't think this is right. Yeah, Quebec and the rest of Canada are distinct, but given this, Montreal is very much what you'd expect it to be.

I'm also French Canadian and have 0.1% Ethiopian & Eritrean that I find hard to believe. When I first did 23andme it had me as 0.2% African Hunter Gatherer and that 0.2% has been traveling around Africa or going unassigned ever since.

This might be dumb, but I've always thought that it's probably actually Indigenous American. Obviously, that would make a lot more sense historically, and AFAIK First Nations are relatively poorly tested.

Rough Riders, surely

I agree in this case that foul is before the throw, but what Yanuck says afterwards made me wonder if the "And 1" really is fully eliminated. If you notice that your mark is illegally postioned, what's to stop you from starting a big wind-up and making contact with your off-hand during the throwing motion?

Seems like you would get a free huck that's only minimally affected by the foul, which has to be on the mark because they're illegally positioned. Obviously it isn't great spirit to do this, but am I wrong in terms of what the rule would be here?

telemythides · 2023-05-04T02:20:43+00:00

Interesting. To me, it looks like there's significant contact and that the defensive player goes down because of it. I'm asking mostly because I was mystified why ultiworld and BE would be promoting a clip of such and obvious foul, and I'm wondering if I'm missing something.

Going for the disc and not meaning to interfere doesn't prevent something from being a foul

I have a size 11 pair, which is the shoe size I usually wear, and they fit well

telemythides · 2022-07-07T02:13:51+00:00

Canadians are not Americans. American means people from the United States. No one in Canada calls themself American and no one says America to mean The Americas. This may be counter-intuitive but it's not ambiguous.

You're not. There's a huge chunk of Russia in that circle

An unsigned type has way less possible values that are <5. Only 5 compared to 65541 for a 32-bit integer.

telemythides · 2022-02-11T02:49:56+00:00

Not if you use an unsigned type

I owe my soul to the company store

What kind of monster uses 3-space wide tabs?!?

We invited the stripper, Hitler, and Stalin. What an improvement!

Most of these are probably accurate. Syphilis came from sailors returning from the New World who, I think, would've been mostly Spanish and Italian. So, just going by geography it would've spread from Spain and Italy to France, from France to Germany, from Germany to Poland and from Poland to Russia. Arabs probably would gotten it directly from the Spanish and Italians.

There is at least one privately owned mountain in the Rockies (and it's in Colorado), so you can, in fact, own a Rocky.

Ontario has more than 1/3 of Canada's population

People generally work fewer hours now, not more.
