Russia winning means, the dying will continue in the suppression of their new subjects and in future invasions since this one would have been successful in the end.
This operation has the potential to better Ukraine's strategic position greatly. Ukraine winning means the dying of civilians stops. Ukraine giving up would not have the same result.

Nah we should shame people more. Plastic surgery in a search for "beauty" is a net negative on society. It is the source of many insecurities especially for adolescents.
My thoughts: Rohan has the technology of the early middle ages, def a step down from imperial roman times. But even the late empire saw a loss in technology and centralised armories (more maille than Lorica Segmentata).
But the high middle ages had better metal working than the Roman empire. I would say Gondor is more equal to the high ma then the early ma like Rohan. But the cool thing is, their armour is not straight up copied from a specific culture (like Italian or German armour). Esp the helmets are very different from a stereotypical knights visor helmet. That makes Gondor feel unique and more fantastical than just "European medieval".
Now the hoplites. Hoplites are from the era if greek poleis, before imperial, republican or even monarchical Rome. Technologically, that's the bronze age and def less developed than imp Rome or the MA. But that's not a bad thing.
In the intro sequence of lotr fotr during the great war of the second age , the elves have a greek inspired armour. Corinthian style helmets with the iconic face shape cutout and the long horse tail. But they also are not a copy and feel like their own thing.
So.... I don't need the numenorians to have more rivets or better shoulder joints. Mostly what is disappearing in Arda is not knowledge, but magic. So choosing greek inspiration is cool. But they need to feel 1) not copied 2) more magical than Gondor.
Yeah, like a digital "ideal line" that the cars can follow.
Maybe even a physical guiding line.
We could even connect all the cars via WLAN (WiFi) to exchange info when they are braking and accelerating. That would increase efficiency.
Maybe we could even connect them physically to have a stronger engine pulling more cars more efficiently.
If we already have an ideal guiding line, we might actually save some asphalt and make the roads more optimised. Use different materials so the tyre particles don't pollute as much.

Insertion Sort.
It's easier to remember how to program than quick sort and it's stable (it keeps the previous order for same value data)
