Wait your signature is supposed to just be your name in cursive? But then wouldn't that defeat the point? I thought in the olden days it was supposed to be like a proof that you were the right person since you knew how your signature was written.

Anyways, for my signature I just kinda designed it. It was ages ago so I forgot my process, but it was deliberate and I remember making a whole bunch of sketches before finding one I liked. And since then I've incrementally improved it.

I thought this was going to be some math thing, turned out to be so much more straightforward.

Aww that's a shame, the real Neptune looks really dull.

They're not contradictory. All other headsets' passthrough is just so bad that even though the Apple headset isn't good it's still way ahead of them.

He's a wizard, the revolver is actually firing shrunken 16 inch HE shells.

HOW DO YOU YELL WITHOUT CAPSLOCK?

Something kinda in the same vein, in the book series Red Rising, hanging people on Mars is ineffective because of the low gravity (not enough force to snap the neck), so someone has to go up and pull on the legs of the executed person to kill them.

I mean this seems like an easy answer to me no? People in the past wouldn't suspect you're from the future, they'd think you were posessed or something. People in the future would be much more likely to think of time travel, plus they'd have records of old accents and stuff.

The main advantage of early guns wasn't that they were more powerful, it's that they were easy to use. You can train someone to fire a gun in a day, while it takes months of training just to get an archer strong enough to draw a bow.

Also the whole "the Europeans were dirty diseased peasants" thing isn't accurate, and I have to say that IMO the right response to racist depictions of indigenous people as unwashed savages isn't to just turn around and say "actually the stereotypes are correct it's just that it's about the Europeans this time".

And Indigenous people had more advanced technoglogy than many give them credit for but "The Europeans were technologically behind indigenous people in nearly every way. " is just blatantly wrong.

I do think you're right though that without smallpox and other diseases the Europeans wouldn't have colonised the Americas, though there were several other major factors in it.

P.S. I'm not a historian, grain of salt, etc.

There are also some ants that farm certain types of fungus! It's really cool.
