You know what, that probably would stand in court. "I saw some random dudes in masks attempting to kidnap a woman so I intervened."

If they wanna look like a some random thug they'll have to accept thug consequences.

We have "arrowheads" as old as 72000 years old. Some found outside of Africa are 40ish thousand years old. We're not certain what these objects are, but we're pretty sure they're arrowheads.

The oldest evidence for a bow we've found is only 9000 years old. But if you think about what a bow is made of, it stands to reason that we wouldn't find one much older than that.

Only if they want to keep their titles. This probably has more to do with allowing them to issue orders to specific people.

I was referring to like, parks, and town squares. Town squares are pretty rare in the US

Conservatives wouldn't build the bench.

Free public spaces don't encourage people to go in to a shop hard enough. You wanna sit down? Starbucks has chairs. Want a sip of water, go buy a bottle.

Mice are just new meals, chef

Build a support network in your community.

Start yesterday if you can. Start doing it now if you can't.

Start a garden, make tools, do whatever you can to make you and your neighbors a little more self sufficient.

We need a general strike. We need to be prepared first

The woman on the left, Holly Fisher, had an affair after entering politics after taking this picture and faded in to meme land.

The woman on the right, Reem Slaleh Raiyshi, died carrying out suicide bombing at Erez Crossing.

I get the point you're trying to make here but these two women are not the same. One's a freedom fighter/terrorist who was obviously ready to die for what she believed in, and the other is some dumb bitch from West Virginia virtue signaling for clout.

Still, going from a stream powered spinning toy to locomotive is a few orders of magnitude. Heron's "engine" was a little jet engine. Heated water pushed it's way out of pipes. It's a far cry from building steam pressure in a tank, using that pressure to drive a crank shaft, and pushing along a vehicle of any kind.

There are a number of industrial era inventions required before you can even start putting something like a train together.

The Romans didn't even have replaceable parts yet. Every nail was custom made.

If you haven't seen it, watch Clickspring's series on the antikithra mechanism. It'll give you an idea of how hard it was to produce complicated machinery was at the time.

Libraries are paid for with taxes.

"I want endless curated content for FREE! NO ADS. NO PAY. ONLY CONTENT."

This guy, probably.

Probably also thinks the minimum wage is theft.

Dangerous, overcomplicated, prone to failure and expensive. The auto industry didn't fight to save them because customers didn't really seem to care that much about them.

It seems like he's expected to return as well.

I'm not sure I see your logic here. The bill is sponsored by two Democrats from NYC.

He's already signed on, along with Bill Pullman

It sounds unbelievable because it's just simply wrong.

Larger farms are more efficient. Each cow will always produce the same amount of manure, where you put the fence between them doesn't really matter. If there's 2 million cows in the state you get 2 million cows worth of manure to deal with, you can't gerrymander that away.

Economies of scale apply to farms, but the waste they produce isn't going to change much.

There are a lot of valid reasons to prefer small farms to large ones. The animals generally get better treatment on small farms, you get a better quality product from smaller farms. But the reality is the average age of farmers in this country is approaching retirement. Meaning a fair number of farmers are over that age. We don't have the labor in this country to manage a lot of small farms, and that's before we forcibly deported the people doing 90% of the labor.
