Experimenting I’d say. As it is usual for young men sharing a college dorm #nohomo

Wind and rain are enough to make the North Sea one of the toughest seas to sail though and cause heavy floods regularly.

Edit: found a nice video about North Sea: Why the North Sea Is One of the World’s Deadliest Waters

Pictures 2 and 3: are we sure that’s to depict waves? To me it looks like the (stylised, artistic depiction of) backsplash when rain hits a water surface.

Pictures 1 and 4: yeah, that’s kinda how waves look like pictured in a medievalist art style. You gotta remember that naturalism (i.e. the realistic approach to picture things) is not beginning before the renaissance. But besides the regularities in shape and orientation, this looks pretty well like windswept waves.

Spain is Europe, too!

In the end, all of the European colonists played a role in the genocide against native americans. And my remark mostly was just a snarky reminder that it wasn’t uninhabitated land that was settled.

I mean, that’s about as much Rome as the Holy Roman Empire…

Okay, I misread the original claim, my bad.

However, the majority of Texans according to the 2020 census is of latin/hispanic ethnicity (40.2%), followed by 39.8% white.
I don’t know what US americans need to claim any descent or ancestry, but I have a feeling that more people would claim spanish than german.

Isn’t that shield egyptian like the khopesh?

Or you could argue that Rome never fell for good because it is still/again a capital city and was only not a capital city from (around) 476 to 756 when Pippin the Short gave jurisdiction over Rome to the pope and created the papal states.

No. The original “settlement” (aka stealing land from and genociding indigenous people) of what is today Texas was done by the Spanish.

Probably depends on the standards you’re used to. For germans it may be okayish at best, for americans it might be the best bread they’ve ever tasted.

The Roman Empire fell in 395, the Western Roman Empire fell in 476, the Eastern Roman Empire in 1453 and Rome as the capital/seat of government of the/a Roman Empire “fell” at the turn of the fifth century when the seat of government was moved to Milan (or, Rome as a city fell multiple times to invaders).

No, not really.

I don’t think it fits,

I think it does because of

Aight

So, Mongols (and Turks) are the origin of the Borg? But that’s the wrong quadrant!

I get your point. But allow me to brighten your day: 20 Places Around the World Where Governments Provide Free Period Products

tampons are actually toxic, plus insanely expensive,

That’s a scandal, not just a scam. But tampons are actually a necessity for many women who are not comfortable with other period products.
I see your point with many gendered products like pink kinder surprise that cost more than the regular or an unnecessary bunch of hair products marketed gendered.
But the way you delivered your example in this context was not well phrased.

How are tampons a scam? Especially in the context of hair products?

No, not at all. Again, the Maginot Line was built from WWI experience when large infantry armies fought slow battles. Tanks were not considered at all during the planning of the wall and also during construction, the line got more expensive and compromises had to be made. But in the end, the Maginot Line did what it was supposed to do and forced a considerable part of the german invasion force through Belgium, where the Allies waited for them.

However, that was kind of futile since the Panzerkorps blitzed through a weak point in the line in the Ardennes, cutting off allied forces in Belgium and forcing/letting them retreat onlyover the channel. After that, France couldn’t mount another defense and had to capitulate.

However however, some artillery forts were never destroyed by the Wehrmacht. They proved themselves to be hard to capture, some didn’t stop flying the french flag. But they were too insignificant for the most time so the germans didn’t care a a lot. Rather, those forts were cut off from the rest and the crews were locked and besieged. Some had supplies for another few months but mounting more resistance would have been senseless in the face of the french capitulation.

But we do not make a huge batch at once then reheat it and refreeze it over and over again. I thought that to be obvious, that’s why i chose the terms “reheat” and “freeze again”.
