Wasn't it specifically cow fat?

>>2190088
there was also a fear about pig fat.

>>2190100
It used Cow and Pig fat according to the rumor. Anyway that thing was just the spark. The mutiny was going to happen eventually, there was just too many conflicting interests between the British and those of the Subcontinent. The British got lucky that many Indians(Even the Sikhs who they had only recently conquered) were loyal.

no, I just wanted to know the answer to the question I asked, it's easy to ascribe meaning to any photo in some hack way like the new york times do with their cartoons

he was a frog, so easily the later

I'd say he overplayed, his wars wrecked public finances which would eventually to the revolution and the downfall of the Bourbons

I mean I don't have anything official but in rural NC, where I grew up there were some BBQ places like this. There weren't too many choices, just what the owner felt like cooking that day and the place closed down when he ran out of pork for the day/felt like it. Those places have the best BBQ I tell you what

There's out a rancho that sells bbq out where I live; you go pay for how many buckets you want and the dude would bring you hot metal buckets of bbq'd pork, sausage, baked beans and corn bread. Best food I've had in my life.

Getting God beer, changing the channel, and massaging His feet.

There is something like a proto-concept of fairness in some social critters like macaques.

"You hand me the tool I need to acquire this food and I'll share this food with you after."

"I paid a token the same as the other monkey, how come the man in the lab coat is giving me a lower quality treat? This makes me upset!"

Squirrels are very kind to orphan squirrels iirc

What happens when you have no identifiable culture and your only claim to fame was conquering empires, not governing them.

>>2188955
It was an extremely confusing time for the world. Archeologists still have trouble attributing artifacts to Mongols. Their culture's understanding is based off the research of historians from the 1800s-1900s. Some Ukrainians would write about mongols and then conflate them with Russian Tartars. It's weird.

The Mongol hordes topped out in the hundreds of thousands of soldiers.

It just used to be that all-cavalry armies with excellent logistics and a good intelligence staff could use High Middle Age states as chew toys.

Also, steppe empires tend to fall apart very quickly due to administrative problems stemming from the rulers being illiterate barbarians with no experience living in cities, let alone running countries.

With that aside, the IVC was pretty damn interesting for a civilization. With working plumbing and large cities for it's time, and having an estimated 5-10 million people around the 2000 BCE era.
The most likely theory it completely fell apart and was replaced by the newer Indo-Aryan cultures was probably climate change. According to the theory, the Indus region was significantly greener and tamer at the time the IVC thrived. Due to such things as change in monsoon regions and droughts and the likely violence and migration as a result, the IVC would slowly die out.

>>2190055
Actually, I meant an estimated population of 2-10 million in range. Sorry.

>>2188464
Archaeologists have found evidence indicating that the IVC didn't actually conduct warfare on a large scale. So, incidentally, one of the leading theories on their disappearance is invasion.

Must have been a popping industry back in the day

>>2188395
it's just that farmer is a much shittier surname

It was originally common for that reason, but then became even more common because people adopted it thanks to the fact it was common. Apparently names like Schmidt / Schmitz in German just became "Smith" for anglicized Germans, ex slaves got the name a lot, natives took it on for dealing with colonists, etc.

t. wikipedia with [citation needed] so a grain of salt is required, if anyone has a better answer I'm intrigued too.

What's the point of asking such a loaded question?

>Do you do very sophisticated, mature X thing, or do you do silly, destructive Y thing?

How does one expect to get honest discussion from such a shit question format? Oh wait you don't, because you're a shitposter.

I try not to confuse cynicism with realism but it is difficult.

You should be "woke" or something. Aware of their presence as a major political and cultural force. Or maybe you should try to emulate them.

I'm gonna guess it has something to do with hazard pay or maybe even a form of life insurance (safety "cover")

>>2187778
I doubt that's it, here's the quote from a book I'm reading
>From the first day, all 289 pits were closed and the strikers
at many of them, against the instructions of the NUM, refused to provide safety
cover.
If it's the workers refusing to do it, even against union orders, it can't be that.
Some blog post:
>The dispute over safety cover was tense. Media reports were clearly biased and I had great difficulty getting any adult to explain it to me as they did not want to “indoctrinate” me. I could tell the adults in my family were very frustrated about it though. Eventually the NACODS leadership reached an agreement with the NCB to provide safety cover. This was the height of naivety on their part.
>There was a stand-off about safety cover in the pits which I was at my wits end trying to follow because the media were biased, but adults in my community wouldn’t explain it to me

>>2187789
Safety cover is like life insurance for the miners

There's a better answer on google

He wasn't that powerful, he was just a secretary. Not the head of state or anything. It's like blaming Monica Levinsky for the war in Iraq.
