My public school in Louisiana had very similar toilet paper. I’m not sure if its actually the same, but it certainly looks like it.

Always is a real stretch, but I get your point. The reason is that being angry is easier than being happy.

The winner of a political debate is whoever the audience likes more. It unfortunately has nothing to do with being a reasonable person.

Air travel is an infinitely more complex and involved problem to solve. There is no method of safely flying without going through mountains of bullshit first.

So you do know what I’ve been talking about, you just purposely ignored it because you think its invalid? You could not have possibly done a better job at demonstrating to me that you are arguing in bad faith.

I don’t care that you think we should switch to metric, you said that Americans aren’t switching purely because they hate change, and they don’t care about the potential benefits just because they hate change so damn much. This is what I’ve been arguing against. I honestly have no idea how you could have read all of that and come to the conclusion I’m arguing against the metric system. Every word of it is about why Americans don’t think the switch is worth it.

By continuing to act like this you are preventing any actual conversation from taking place. You might as well just say “you’re wrong, no I will not elaborate”. If you’re not interested in having a conversation then don’t respond, no one is forcing you to do this.

If you would like to have a less sarcastic and rude discussion, I’ll be here.

American are willing to change things, we just pick what to change, and we aren’t being inconvenienced by this nearly enough to change it.

We are used to 2 liter bottles, so we still use them. We run 5ks because its been a standard distance to run for a long time. Other countries also do similar things, old habits die hard.

We use metric for science and medicine because the benefits of metric are much more pronounced for those use cases.

Honestly, using both really isnt that hard. Its only really an inconvenience if you aren’t already used to it. We aren’t changing it because we’re getting along just fine the way things are, and there are much bigger problems to be solved.

My only real problem with emulation is that I haven’t found a good way to connect my pc to a crt. I’ve been wanting to play oot randomizers on a proper display but I’m not willing to buy an everdrive at the moment.

Yes, I forgot that’s what their channel is actually called. They’re known for their catch phrase “but that’s just a theory, a game theory” which is what I remember most about them.

There is a YouTube channel called game theory.

Wasn’t that specifically about Christianity though?

You don’t try to assassinate people for altruistic reasons, and I have no ancestors that killed Spaniards on the 4th of July.

Who’s to say he didn’t just want to die and take someone important out with him. In the mental state he was in at the time, he may not have even cared about politics.

If they’ve seen country music videos you can’t really blame them.

Don’t bring alligators and rattlesnakes into this, they did nothing wrong.

Wood is definitely better than nothing, but I don’t really see a situation in which this thing would need protection against small arms anyway. Unless something has already gone horribly wrong, those small arms are a significant distance from your artillery. At that range, they are already effectively worthless because their lack of rifling makes them horribly inaccurate.

If I had to guess, you would mainly be worried about union sharpshooters (maybe) and artillery. At that point the only real advantage of the wood is the obstruction of sight.

It doesn’t look like it. They did sometimes use a kind of turntable to allow regular cannons to easily change direction, but I don’t think the same was done with these.

Wood still wasn’t strong enough to sustain a lot of fire even from those rifles. The confederacy just didn’t have enough iron.
