@Taiboss Without knowing the details of German commands you actually did pretty well, congrats! What you wrote wasn't the accurate command, but it conveyed the meaning, which is the most important part. There are many small details, that seem totally random to normal people (or modern people in...

The german on page 21 and 22 isn't correct. it should be: "Zug, in Linie - antreten!" instead of "Zug in Linie zu drei Gliedern angetreten!". The latter is a redundant order, as a "Linie" is always three deep (in fact there are only two orders regarding formations for units of this size: Linie...

@KingRagnarok150 As always: Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

@SunSun Oh boy! I very well know that feeling. My grandfather owned a factory founded by his father and everybody in the city knew the family by name and greeted them on the street. The expectations when you marry into such a family are huge. I remember when they died the number of guests went...

@lightingcloud Every Roman senator had to serve, the cursus honorum demanded it. You couldn't even get quaestor without serving a set time, and since all from the equester ordo or ordo senatorius were immediately put in a position of command, almost every roman noble had been a general at one...

@Karretch To be more precise: The phenomenon is called "Childhood amnesia" and people usually don't recall anything before age four and way (compared to usual memory loss due to passing of time) less before the age of ten[1]. The latter age highly depends on a child's education (especially music...

@Iratana Luffy post time-skip is 19 years old. Since humans usually don't remember anything before age of six (and yes, I'm assuming that everybody's brains in OP work basically like humans), she'd have to be at least 25, with about 30 being more likely.

@Ryomi It's normal for most European (especially germanic) languagesto refer to unborns and children as things. Even more: In Germany unborns ARE things legally.

@supersaiyandoyle Yes, but actually, no - it's complicated. After all, its the warp.

@Sharkexpert12 Err your calculations got more holes than swiss cheese. 1. Pressure drops squared with distance 2. PETN explodes with a multiple of the speed of sound (8500 m/s from a steel tube) 3. The explosive energy of PETN is 5801 Nm/kg or 5810 kJ/kg , a handgrenade only has a few gram. 4...

@spiderbait People don't understand how a medieval European mindset works. To us today it really can be seen as blue and orange morality. It's best to remind oneself, that medieval kings were not absolutist rulers who strode around their castle and proclaimed "L’état c’est moi!" They had...

@Nolonar If you are convinced that acupressure works, I'm sure you can provide adequate sources (double blind at best, peer reviewed at minimum) for your claim, neither an argumentum ad populum, nor an argumentum ad antiquitatem cuts it. For the rest; @perck has said it already.

@ jonsmth In general, yes. However the way you bow is very different in Europe compared to Asia. Men move their left foot back and lean their upper body forward. The right arm is moved horizontally across the abdomen holding any head-wear, while the left is moved away from the body with the palm...

To all the people who think they can just melt the bottle and make marbles: Glass manufacturing doesn't work that way. You can't just melt it and form it back into another shape. If you want to recycle it you need more primary resources (quartz sand, chalk, soda) to keep the quality up. Just...

@AncelDeLambert A three piece suit is actually more easy done than glass. If you look at some of the ancient Persian armour and clothing you'll see that. It's more a stylistic choice. Form fitting clothing in general is a thing of modernity. @Kwijo Which only shows that people have no idea how...

@DeanWinchester Welcome to the Land of Realpolitik. It's not something people of faint heart could ever begin to understand.

@kwendy You had to have been a soldier to really understand camaraderie, it's not something civvies would get. And why would the word "comrade" not be applicable to the current context?

@kwendy No not really. Camaraderie is something very different from friendship. Whereas friendship usually is built upon the same interests, camaraderie builds upon deep trust for each other. You will won't see good friends fight that often in the open, but comrades? They will insult one another...

Well at least now we know where Rosehip got her need for speed, and how much Darjeeling changed St.Glorias tactics.

@spiderbait "it would be a death blow to publish something that is such a close imitation of something else" You never have read (western) classic literature at all, haven't you?
