@llde That's simple statistics. Assuming that a persons abilities are normally distributed (which for all we know with our current knowledge, holds) a bigger sample size will produce more abled bodied individuals. Neurology also has shown than men tend to be more extreme in their abilities than...

@llde @eminyan Yet that's not what is displayed in this chapter. What we see is Deborah's unveiled threat (to use the guards), something she can only do because she is a countess in her own right. In your examples there would've been no need hold this "tribunal" at all. A whisper in the street...

@stretch22 You mean people won't read text the length of a short newspaper comment because their attention span has been reduced to 240 characters? Thanks Mark! Thanks Jack! Thanks Donald! They are not. Compared to literature classics like Buddenbrocks, War and Peace or Anna Karenina, all of...

@dive123 This manga portrays a society that's an amalgamation of German, English and French societies in late 18th and 19th century, with a bit post WWII mixed in. Yeah, there are some inaccuracies here and there, but this is a work of fiction not a documentary, this artistic liberty doesn't...

@Nayrael Exactly! Iirc Connie's fiancée offered her help, but she refused. That was bad thinking on her part. Maybe she thought that Scarlett's ghost would be enough, since it always has been up until now. However this also gave us a neat entry point into Connie falling for Rudolf for real. We...

@Whatev Yes, author has probably never heard of blocking minority, since mergers and liquidations usually require a qualified majority of two thirds or 75%. But hey, it makes for a good story.

@Screenwatch It's a common misconception that the Romans didn't know about "Zero" as a concept, they very much did. The reason why the Roman numeral system didn't have a numeral for 0 because they didn't need to in their mathematical system, as it isn't a positional one like the Hindu-Arabic...

@greatninja3 And history is full of even more instances where traitors were put to death. It was just more likely for you to survive if you were an important person to be above the peasantry (e.g. being an officer) but not high enough to be called a leader. The reason why many officers from all...

@HOOfan_1 That's how high-treason works, in terms of "quality of crime" it's literally the worst you can do! It's even multiple steps above murder and manslaughter. Why? The latter two affects a handful people at worst (or hundreds/thousands in case of mass murder or terror), but high treason...

@SomeGuy1 That's a common technique in mangas/comics to not block half the person behind bars with well... bars.

@yurirei Eh, TS is just an npm install typescript --save-dev or Install-Package Microsoft.TypeScript.MSBuild away (although If you have any version of the "big" VS installed, you have TS.

@yurirei First order of business: Drop JavaScript either completely or for something better like TypeScript of Cofeescript.🤪

@StormTAG "C'mon, guys. I mean, I'm sure she understands the difference between pass by reference, pass by value, pass reference by value and pass by value reference. " Even in C++ (at least since C++11) you can now largely ignore the difference between pass by value and pass by reference as the...

@Raudhbjorn 1. A hatchet is a small axe, so everything is gusto there. 2. You don't need a stone hammer to make a hatchet, but it certainly makes things much easier (leverage and such) 3. A stone saw will dull immediately. There's a reason why most crafted saws were made at least out of copper.

@g_z Depends on the type of primary source. In general you can more often than not trust commission reports or other studies about a topic (e.g. the effectiveness of the M4's 75mm gun in combat), simply because they almost always adhere to the scientific method and are written by multiple people...

@NinetyTwo @Okuu A better in universe explanation: Propaganda! Naturally Saga of Pravda is told from Pravda's PoV and by them, therefore they have an interest to present them in a good light, but not their enemy, same with Phase Erika, which is told and shaded by Erika's PoV. With that we can...

@mdem Going by the clothing they wear spinning thread has already been invented and It wouldn't bee far fetched to think that water wheels have been too. The whole technology situation is kinda a mess, while some parts look like a James Watt could come right around the corner and push them into...

@Yari-Kachi Not in the foreseeable future. Japanese manga companies only see their home market as important. It was the same (and to some extend still is) with anime until Crunchyroll (which btw: was the result of many fansub groups merging) came into being. Currently the worst are LNs...

@Roiya 1. His wife died one year into the marriage. 2. An age difference of ten years or more was nothing unusual back then. As a man you had to have a stable income to be even considered for marriage. Women, especially those of higher social status were expected to marry very early (i.e...

@Kayriel 1945 would like to have a word with you. The Germans tried to make it "us or them" (again I might add), but the western world, especially the US, just didn't buy into it. They did in 1918 and it failed, resulting directly in WWII. For the US the war was necessary, but it wasn't...
