There's a good book on the history of chemical and biological weapons since WW1 called "A Higher Form of Killing"[1]. The sections on Anthrax are particularly scary because the fallout from widespread Anthrax bombing is harder to clean up than nuclear weapons - while nuclear fallout decays at a predictable rate and the immediate radiation danger decays rather quickly, Anthrax spores are much more resilient to the environment. They can remain dormant in the soil and resist heat and cold. You can't just wait for them to go away; you need to deliberately clean them up.
The British actually started to lean on Anthrax as their "Plan B" in case of a German invasion during WW2. If German troops made landfall in Britain, Churchill's plan was to essentially carpet bomb Germany with 500,000 Anthrax cluster bombs he ordered from the United States (though the US never produced that many).
This would, in effect, be an intentional genocide of all of Germany. The country, most likely, would have become uninhabitable even to this day.
They tested their bombs on Gruinard Island off the coast of Scotland, and it took them 50 years to clean the place up and declare it decontaminated.[2]
Colleges are about 50 years behind the rest of the world in technology adoption. Buying an AI detection system isn't bringing them into the future - it's holding them back. Rather than slavishly obsessing over undergrads' essay writing abilities, lesson plans should be more individualized so that essay writing en-masse is a moot point. Any essay you write would be self-motivated rather than forced.
I predict that some of his policies will blow up in his face when they don't work and then there will be a conservative backlash against democrats in the next election. Happened in SF
Sometimes a message doesn't warrant a response. My wife sends me links to stuff online, I don't reply to those. Personally I hate communicating with my smartphone so I tend not to reply to people who message me on it
It's not medieval but something that feels in the same Genre to me is Townsends on youtube. They do historical videos about 18th/early 19th century America - mostly recipes
I think Russia and China do not want them to - it would threaten their diplomatic power over their Vassel states. If, say, Iran, had a nuke from North Korea, it would reduce Russian influence.
North Korea is severely restricted from flying their own flag on their own ships. North Korean ships are often refused entry to many ports around the world due to UN sanctions and can also be boarded by SK or US forces if they suspect the ship is being used to transport weapons of mass destruction. North Korea often just registers their ships in other countries or outright illegally flies other country's flags to avoid inspection
Nobody should ever go to North Korea. You're giving money to the most repressive regime on earth so you can take pictures of their misery
