I find that they do not store or travel well. Like a lot of fruit they're enormously tastier when they're in season and local

Blackberries and strawberries! Although my tastes are likely coloured by the fact that I live in a place where few fresh fruits grow other than those, similar berries (yes, I know strawberries aren't technically berries), and apples. So I like what is tastiest here. But I do really like them

It's a testament to how good pomegranates are that we're willing to put up wth the hassle of eating them

Oh shit that was Battle Engine Aquila. I loved that game

The Kralovec thing is the only Czech thing I can think of that made a big splash on the English-speaking internet, but it was very funny

Fucking hell lol

Oh wow, thanks for the reminder about this band. I had Age of the Understatement on CD and somehow just forgot about them when I switched over to streaming many years ago

We're gonna have to call it a beef washington then

The guy is Pol Pot

Lions also lived in North Africa until the middle of the last century, a species called the Barbary lion. Whether or not that's the same kind that use to live in Europe I do not know, but lions in general had definitely already crossed the Sahara. Interestingly enough the Sahara itself changes on a pretty short timescale; only five to ten thousand years ago, huge portions of it were humid enough to support plant life and even early pastoral agriculture. It has apparently alternated between this state and its current dryness hundreds of times in the past few million years. We've found evidence of human habitation - bones, tools, art depicting animals and so on - in a bunch of places in the desert that just cannot support human life any more.

As for the Mediterranean, six million years ago the strait of Gibraltar closed up for about half a million years, so they could have crossed then. They also could have just swum across the Bosporus, given it's only 700m wide at the narrowest point today

Holy shit, they did. Less than half of the money, even

With the amount some folk have spent on Star Citizen I think they actually could afford to explore space in real life

It'd actually be hilarious to have this set in the era when the pilot's handheld weaponry or even just throwing a goddamn brick at the other plane were viable tactics

Unbelievably, the exact thing you've just described exists https://crusaderwars.com/

It even feels pretty heisty at a few important points, especially in the DLC

I believe this is the Black Ice mod for Hearts of Iron 3

That thing must be terrifying to drive

A teacher has asked a question for which either "had" or "had had" is the correct answer. James answered "had", while John answered "had had". "Had had" is the correct answer, and so the teacher responds better to John's answer.

It is intentionally written to be confusing though, so it's not surprising if someone struggles to parse it

It's a good example of why punctuation is helpful.

James, while John had had "had had", had had "had"; "had had" had had a better effect on the teacher

Noita is a blast. Be ready to die often, and by your own hands at least half the time.
