This one is ceremonial, but I'd guess similar swords are intended for mounted soldiers to slash at ground troops. The heavy bit on the tip gives it momentum to carry through when you hit someone.

In specific applications where it is useful to consider time as a 4th spacial dimension.

So if you're not talking about relativity, it's probably not.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn't matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it's mounted.

A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

Yeah, my father in law made some comment about "this debate is so much better than the last one" and I'm like...yeah, the word salad is replaced with Coherent English lies, but that's not a great step up.

There's also the "If you're gonna smash a guitar, go Townsend on it, don't use a hammer" angle.

I mean, apparently we're getting hurricanes in Tennessee now, so it's fuckin happening.

The Apollo program lasted longer than the confederacy.

Humans.

The current western political landscape is not the first time immigrants have been a political scapegoat. This has been a recurring theme for thousands of years.

Chicago Bears.

Fuck clickbait.

Yeah, Minnesotans don't like the word "casserole" for some reason.

That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don't sweep blows away like in dark souls.

Like the A in apple.

Midwestern here.

I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they're Midwest also.

There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it's not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.

Ok. Good.

YouTube had already gone through several eras a decade ago.

Saying that makes me want to yell at a cloud.

And he pulled out of a mutually beneficial nuclear treaty so that he could slap a bunch of sanctions on them.

In order for the tides to rise significantly in the Baltic or Mediterranean, you'd need that much extra water to flow through the narrow opening in the straits of Gibraltar/Denmark.

The Baltic sea also probably is less affected because it's so far north, and the tides are based on the Moon's (not-quite-equatorial, but not THAT inclined) orbit.
