Why? Welded hulls were a pretty good compromise between cast and riveted.

He's trolling because he thinks it is what will get him subs and attention.

At least that's what it seems like. I didn't watch the whole video.

you control not what you think nor feel, so what you feel and think cannot be you

There's nowhere to find truly accurate information about them.

basically just larpers that followed neitchze

>>1614204
But what kind of LARPer?

Aztecfag here, during the conquest of mexico, the spanish used the harquebus to great effect while the aztecs only used the bow.

There werent that many gunners in the spanish expedition, 17 or something like that.

You can see incoming arrows. You can block arrows with a shield and you'll be fine. Armor of the day was specifically designed to stop arrows, so the Aztecs were hard pressed to out-shoot the spaniards.

If you fire a matchlock into a crowd of a thousand people, someone is gonna go down. You cant block it with a shield, your armor wont help you, and you cant even see it. The psychological impact of that alone would be terrifying.

The japanese very quickly adopted guns to replace bows after the portugese introduced them.

>>1613700
>How true is that meme?

Not very.

Most bows were also of limited range, and of dubious lethality (hard to tell if it's lack of accuracy or lack of penetrating power as armor kept up with missile weapons). I can't seem to find it at the moment, but if you have some time, you should really look up the Battle of Towton, I know there are a couple of articles online which break down force composition.

You had tens of thousands of longbowmen shooting at each other for 2 hours. They did not wipe each other out; like most battles of the era, it was decided in the melee and made devastating by the post-rout chase. To get there though, you have to work out percentages of shots fired that hit and killed someone at around 1%; otherwise, the longbowmen wipe out everyone and nobody else engages.

People, and I'm not really sure why, HUGELY overestimate the lethality of bows.

>Were there any battles in history where one side was using massed bowmen and the other had massed gunners? Was there any occasion where the bowmen won?

Not that I'm aware of, but they did probably exist, especially out in China.

>People, and I'm not really sure why, HUGELY overestimate the lethality of bows.

This. You can survive an arrow much more easily then a bullet. Bullets are much faster and deform, or even fall apart on impact, inflicting horrific wounds (early, ball shaped lead bullets even more so then modern ones). An arrow on the other hand just makes a relatively small hole. It also can't pierce heavy plate armor and shields. Basically, if you get hit by an arrow, you have a much better chance of survival then from a bullet.

Considered transcendently, from the outside, dissolved into its context Kakifly’s is work written for money, for he has no stable mangaka position, is insecure, precarious – despite this his work is not, in the main, hackish. This circumstance of instability determines its form and contents and both provokes and circumscribes the standpoints presented within. It is work in tension with the world and strains to find places to place its opinions. Seen immanently, we might notice how it is marked by the sharp stabs of the capitalist system, its rhythms and demands, its modern speediness and engagement with fashion and the popular. It takes up its exposure to capitalism into itself, by hardening its position against the system, condemning it polemically and totally and making divisions between its insights and those of conformist critics. Kakifly’s short punctuated rhythms and polemical outbursts take up the confident mode of address of the media and its competition for distracted attention. It is timely, always valuing the contemporary and concerned with the precise moment into which a statement is uttered (which can include polemical returns of long forgotten materials, that flash back into his critical view in a certain moment – hence Kakifly’s excavations of Ritsu’s lyrics some two years after its writing, in order to see what poetry from the epoch of high capitalism exposes about poetry in the next phase of capitalist organisation). Kakifly’s procedure encapsulates something of Azu-nyan’s impatience with laborious, convoluted and super-subtle analysis, epitomised in the dialogue Kakifly reports between Azu-nyan and the members: ‘So what's the problem if our sound is tight than that's a good thing! If you ask me that's the best we've ever played.’.

Man, Benedict was fucking great. Shame he stepped down only to be replaced by that dumb cocksucking faggot Francis.

It showed the challenges faced by international organizations and paved the way for the UN, that was well done.

But you could argue that they failed in Manchuria and Abyssinia causing Hitler's invasion of Poland

>>1613506
Which is why you can't leave the UN once you joined. To prevent IMMA LEAVE UN used as a political tool.

You have to go before recorded history:

The first use of horses in warfare occurred over 5,000 years ago. The earliest evidence of horses ridden in warfare dates from Eurasia between 4000 and 3000 BC.

Basically as soon as you have domesticated horses you can grab a spear or javelin and hit people with it, congratulations: you're the first cavalryman!

I didn't save the map of the Proto-Indoeuropeans which showed the distribution of evidence for domesticated horses and chariot wheels, they were infamous for those two inventions and their cattle raids.

Alright thanks, so does nobody really know what the first recorded battle in particular was?

>C s&p happen to people after
>after

Contradicts all the s&p during life which is illogical.

>D s&p happen to people in this life regardless of how they behave in this life. people have some control

If you do have control then how is it not through behavior?

>E s&p happen to people in this life but they don't hold any value or "meaning"

All emotions including s&p are triggered by meaning, value and attachment to things.
So thats wrong as well.

>>1613091
here are more accurate versions of C and D:

>C the s&p that happens to people after this life is a result of how they behave in this life. people have indirect control (external phenomenon make s&p happen for them)

>D some s&p happens to people in this life regardless of how they behave and some s&p happens to people in this life as a result of how they behave in this life. people have some control

>E s&p happen to people in this life but they don't hold any value or "meaning"

but I'm not a nihilist and what you said about E didn't make much sense to me
are you saying there are emotions that are neither suffering nor pleasure?

>>1613127
it is time for you to go ''phenomenology'' in meditating

also, emotions are not meant to be qualified directly by suffering or pleasure

you have affects (after contact, people translate vedana as feeling but it is wrong) (look up the definition of affect, effect and fact) and affects can be
pleasing
displeasing
not really pleasing nor really displeasing

after affects you have emotions, sentiments, delirium

sensation affection sentiment, inclination are the words that you must use on whatever you feel and think.

I prefer the Battle of Camarón
65 French Legionnaires v 3000 Mexicans
A small infantry patrol of 64 men led by Captain Danjou is attacked by a numerically superior force of 3000 Mexicans. The Legionaries manage to fight their way to a Hacienda and end up holding the Mexicans off for over 10 hours as a delay action to cover the convoy. After most of the Legionaries are dead their Captain is shot dead by a sniper. Once only five men remained and were exhausted of ammunition they launched a bayonet charge, 2 were killed outright and another jumped in they way of a hail of bullets to try save their Lieutenant, Maudet. The two remaining Legionaries are forced to the ground and ordered to surrender as of which one of them, Corporal Philippe Maine responded, "We will surrender if you leave us our weapons and our equipment. You also have to promise to take care of our wounded lieutenant."after the soldiers were brought to the leader of the Mexicans, Milian he said "Is this all of them? Is this all of the men who are left?" Then, in amazement, he exclaimed, "These are not men! They are demons!"
The Battle itself is regarded as a strategic victory for the French because they successfully held of the Mexicans from reaching the convoy.

Literally none at all. The Ottomans had no reason to care about the Portuguese at all. If anything they would want to befriend them to try and weaken the Spanish.

Do you not even know that, incidentally, the portuguese AIDED ottoman expansion?
Because, see, egypt and the levant was ruled by the egyptian mamluks, who vomited wealth thanks to their dominance of the spice trade trough alexandria. Venice, who was a major stakeholder in this trade, also had their side; so attackimg them would have proven difficult.
But then, the portuguese manage to circumnavigate africa and establish a direct trade link from goa to lisbon. Of course the mamluks' trade avenue collapses. Venice (and even the ottomans) makes an attempt at helping them combat the portuguese' growing egemony, but ultimately they lose.
When this happens, venice is quick to cut every tie it had with them, and the ottomans are just as quick to turn on them and subjugate them in a "quick" war; thus resulting in the ottoman empire almost doubling its size.
