cossacks

Condottieri's been banned, we're back under the cossacks

Trump wore the tiny hat back in 2017. He’s been compromised for a long time.

That water clarity is an engineering decision, and the math behind it is wilder than the video. Roman aqueducts ran on gravity alone. No pumps, no pressure systems. Engineers carved channels with a gradient so shallow it borders on absurd. The Pont du Gard in southern France drops 2.5 centimeters over 275 meters. That's roughly the thickness of a coin over the length of three football fields. They surveyed that accuracy with plumb lines and wooden leveling instruments. The clarity you're seeing is a direct product of flow velocity. Too steep and the water erodes the channel walls, picks up sediment, turns brown. Too flat and it stagnates. Roman engineers targeted a slope of about 20 centimeters per kilometer, which kept the water moving fast enough to stay fresh but slow enough to stay clear. Before the water reached the city, it passed through multi-chamber settling tanks where velocity dropped near zero. Suspended particles sank. Clean water flowed out the top into the next chamber. Repeat three or four times. Pliny specified the minimum slope in writing. Vitruvius published the exact mortar ratio for hydraulic cement: one part lime to two parts volcanic ash for underwater work. The pozzolana from Pozzuoli reacted with water to form a calcium-aluminum-silicate compound that actually gets stronger the longer it sits submerged. Modern concrete degrades in water. Roman concrete bonds with it. Scale the whole system and it gets harder to process. Eleven aqueducts fed Rome at its peak. Combined output: roughly 1 million cubic meters of water per day. That works out to about 250 gallons per person for a city of one million. Modern New York delivers about 125 gallons per person per day. Ancient Rome had access to double the per capita water supply of the largest city in the United States, running entirely on slope and stone. The Trevi Fountain in Rome is still fed by one of them. Two thousand years, same source, same gravity, same water.

Explains why all the bears in India went extinct

The little subhuman blocked me the second he wrote a shitty insult Pest control is right around the corner and you are going to wish you went back to iran when you had the chance

CRAZY: 🇩🇪 Ex-Germany Chancellor Angela Merkel has admitted she opened Germany's borders to mass migration to "prevent the far right from gaining power."

This is a catastrophic development for the left. Frankly, they have no recourse whatsoever.

@UltraNosk No and they're churnung out retards at an incredible pace

Do they just not teach kids how to read cursive anymore?

I think one of the few good things about french is that it calles Bytes "Octets" instead so this bullshit doesn't occur

@artwithinpod But why work with anthropic then?

the pope wrote a 42,000 word manifesto declaring war on AI. we are so freaking back.

@RusGarbageHuman Environmentalosts should be cheering rn

>60C is instant death >55C in India right now Don't threaten me with a good time

If Jesus is real and alive now, why didn’t he intervene in slavery?

John Newton, the guy who wrote Amazing Grace, had a long career on slave ships before having a literal Come to Jesus moment, becoming one of the foremost abolitionists in the entire world and ally to the guy who ultimately got Britain's anti-slavery legislation passed

This Memorial Day weekend we honor the many valiant sacrifices made by our bold Wiggas for the sake of this great nation.

@OrwellNGoode The memes we have on twt

- "Based" right wing party - The son of the leader married a foreign jewess - Already infiltrated by the jewish mafia This party will never achieve anything of significance for the British people.

certified wigger by the way
