  • Ears are wrong since they suggest directional ears, but we don't have the muscle, or critically the ligament attachment points on the skull, for that.

    As far as claws go, again, no marks of strong cartilege / ligament / bed on the fingers and toes that would indicate functional claws.

    Nipples: the smoking gun would be a pregnant woman or an infant, but theyd be able to see that unlike rodents, humans arent having more than two babies at a time outside of extremely rare cases, more than two babies just dont have room to fully gestate, so theyd likely cut that number down.

    Fur: the sheer amount of plastic clothing we've generated will put that to rest fast.

    Whiskers: There would be ligament attachment marks on the skull where the muscles used to move them would have been. Also maybe blood vessel/neuron marks on the bones.

    Also the almost complete lack of snout would indicate heavy hand usage and not diving into things headfirst like rodents and cats have to.

  • Its not specific to Palestine as it was due to how the Ottoman empire typically left the existing adminstration structures in place when they conquered regions.

    Then, many of its sultans used rival groups against each other, typically to their own benefit as both groups jockied for power over the other.

    An example whwre this benefitted them was Mehmud(1 or 2), who used two rival groups dislike of each other to make them both weaker and his own position much stronger.

    An example of this backfiring on them was the uprising / rebellion of Egypt.

    Also, notably, non-muslims(and non-male muslims) were explicitly inferior citizens in the eyes of Ottoman law. They(example: christians and jews) were allowed to make their own communities, but they weren't seen as equals and would be fair game to be enslaved.

  • Fdroid app store has a lot of frankly amazing indie games.

    Pirate freecell Solitaire. is fantastic.

    Also, Warframe has an iOS version(not a port), is working on an android version, and its now fully crossplay compatible.

  • He was booted out for the rest of the day
    for refusing to apologize, retract or rephrase the statement.

    ALL media surrounding this is a nothing burger designed to forment unrest and get a far right, even more pro business leader elected. And he's already fundraising as if he's the victim of a dictatorship.

  • In short:

    Sinovac, "their" covid vaccine, was stolen from Canada when Canada offered to help them produce a vaccine. Signed an official treaty and everything. Canada did the hard work that they literally couldn't, and still can't, do. Then they took the vaccine and claimed it was entirely their own work.

    Huawei's 5G development miracle is 100% stolen technology from Nortel. They did no work of their own other than work so shoddy even the UK Tories didn't want to touch it.

    These are just the two highest profile ones that go right to the leaders of the CCP.

  • One theory Ive read about is that they probably merely iterated on the (likely middle eastern, probably egyptian or persian) invention of "greek fire". Since its only a single ingredient difference between one of the known formulations of it.

    And the Europeans made gunpowder useful with the invention of pearled gunpowder, which made it possible to predict burn rates and slow them down for cannons, allowing for bigger and more potent cannons. Anecdotally, there is documentation of an Ottoman diplomat pleading to a Chinese one that "the Europeans never learn to make gunpowder"

    They also claim to have invented chariots, despite using the Sanskrit word for chariot.
