anyone know anything about the Sellersville radium plants from the early 1900's? otherwise known as the Radium Company of America? Sellersville is in southeast Pennsylvania. Trying to learn more about it. It's supposedly a big cover-up in this tiny town near me. Couldn't think of where else to post this.

All I know is that Radium was the Titanium of its time. Everybody put it on their brand, even if it didn't contain radium

Also, I could barely find anything about it on the internet. Apparently it was a site for mining uranium, and some of said uranium slipped into a a lake around here that turned the water a bright orange during the early 1900's. That's about as much as I was able to find out.

That's interesting, considering it's a fairly deadly element.

Do you think that it makes us more anti social or is that just a meme?
Is it possible that it's screwing us up worse than we think or will we just evolve into it?

It's certainly changed YOUR mind because you think the word "meme" is some kind of catch-all term for "myth" and "fad" and "popular but stupid"

Well since communications is so close between people and that means the migration of different cultures clash constantly. Look at muslim traditions vs western influences. You cant revolutionize without being influenced by europeans
>>
>>951894
Literally it made us significantly more social, due to things like this.
Virginia during the Civil War. They were a confederate state, and yet they housed the president, and where the one to raise taxes against the southern states?
I'm confused. Can anyone describe Civil War history in detail?

Is historical reenactment an actual employment option?
How would one get involved?

The government of Japanese provinice Iga-Ueno, the Meme Home of Japanese Ninja Clans, recently put out an ad for full time ninja reenactors.

I guess you'd want to get affiliated with a museum or historical society of some kind. I doubt there'd be much prospects for full time work, unless you're basically a living exhibit in a museum, waving an axe and scaring groups of schoolkids.
There are some quite large organisations that handle reenactments though. The Sealed Knot probably has a few full time staff for example:

Interesting, but not really accessible to most yuropoors.
Is it a viable employment option, anyway? I heard people who do living history are often volunteers and hobbyists.
/his/ do you find it sad that no one will ever know everything that humanity knows? doesn't it feels that no intelligence will ever be truly "complete"?

You'd start in 1776 with Francis Bacon.
Let's assume for the sake of discussion that there are intelligent alien lifeforms and also that the Catholic cosmology is correct.
Do you think that the Son visited other alien civilizations? Did he die for their sins, or did the aliens accept him as their king (implying that mankind was not destined to kill Jesus, and we made a mistake by murdering him.) Do the aliens even need a savior? Maybe the aliens never fell from grace, and exist in a garden of eden type situation. What are the possibilities in this scenario?

>>951018
I subscribe to that. Fallen angels are aliens; they're inter-dimensional aliens though, not extra-terrestrial. But they are hyper-intelligent, and quite powerful. And deceptive.
Most of you follow demons already, and don't even know it.

Were medieval villages completly defenceless? Did they have any guards at all? I doubt peasants were allowed to carry weapons other than clubs. Were there any instances were large group of bandits attacked a village? When enemy army attacked what was the go to plan? Just run away?

Depending on the era and country some classes were forced by law to have arms and to know how to use them.
For example IIRC english peasants during the later middle ages had to master the use of the longbow to a certain degree.
>>
>>950386
Large groups of bandits wouldnt be tolerated in any Medieval state with a decent government feudal or not.
>>
>>950386
Peasants weren't allowed to walk around armed, but many would own a weapon, typically a sword, and of course they had access to bows. Villages weren't generally protected, but then there wasn't really anything of value in them anyway. Outlaws kept to the woods, where they could rob travellers, and avoided the villages were there is nothing to steal.

Hey /his/ I was wondering if any of you fine research-minded folks have any insight into historical fires/disasters. I got a trio of old postcards showing a burned down 'The Great Atlantic and Pacific Tea Co' (pretty interesting in its own right) but I'm running a blank on date, place, etc. None of the vehicles have visible license plates or anything, so narrowing it down has been difficult. Any help I can get would be greatly appreciated! I'll kick you some antique postcards from my collection if you find anything!

The Roman Empire (or at least the successor states) never fell and became a theocracy. It is also populated by men only.

I know I am making broad strokes, but was the dominate a more effective government system than the principate. It seems like it was able to respond to disasters quickly, but it was a military dictatorship that often ignored the rest of Roman society.

Its distancing of the Emperor from the all of Roman society allowed for obscene amount of manipulation and corruption. The role of emperor as semi-divine god/god's representative took the idea of deposing or killing emperors that should have been, off the table. It functioned well if the ruler was strong but when the shit really hit the fan, it was a huge hindrance.

>>949533
This and a principate of an empire that spanned continents removes some of the fast disaster response benefit of the system.
