This reminds me of when I researched Russian Law one day just to win an argument online. Just beautiful.

Propane. That's the most common, at least.

It depends, but usually it is. It's rarer, denser, and more pure than gold.

You're reading a novel with science as its driving force. Your comment is like reading "How to Swear in America", and being surprised by the cussing.

A wall that was famously breached by a bunch of guys just walking to a gate, and then the guards just let them through. It also provided no protection from the sea, where most of China's enemies ended up coming from in the years after it was built.

It's one of hundreds of its kind. I've seen like fifteen that I specifically read, including 100% drop rage and the other few I mentioned, and there are at least a few dozen that came across my feed and I chose not to read.

Weak cultivators are the vast majority of cultivators...

Every source I found on the subject put the maximum at around 60 fps or so. Sources disagreed on whether sight truly distinguishes fps in any meaningful way, but they agreed that there is a small time lag between seeing something and processing that information. The gap is seemingly somewhere around 10 or so milliseconds, but research is by no means definitive.

Body count alone says nothing. The Gaza war has a combined death total lower than the Ukraine War, but it is a genocide because that is the demonstrated intent. Russia's invasion of Ukraine has also been called genocide, but while that is certainly true to a large degree when referring to the early parts of the war, the war shifted away from genocide once the current attritional phase of the war began. The intention shifted, so people put less emphasis on the genocidal aspects of earlier battles like Bucha and Lyschansk.

Something hilarious about this is that civilian ships are now more durable than warships in some cases. The Venezuelan navy tried to ram a German cruise ship in like 2017, and the Venezuelan ship lost a cruiser, while the Germans lost some paint and some time.

Humans, no. Modern missile interceptors, yes. Easily.

So he can outpace a missile from the 1940s. Got it.

Palestine is complicated. While genocide is not incorrect, it does miss the fact that Gaza is an active warzone between a conventional force and a nonconventional force. Even if Israel was doing everything possible to avoid civilian casualties, they would still be inevitable. Hamas does use civilians as human shields, so Israel was getting blood on their hands regardless. What is even more complicated with this situation is that Israel really doesn't care about getting civilians out of the way, so what could have simply been a heavy-handed approach to counter-insurgency has become more like a revenge-genocide with a veneer of genuine tactical purposes. To the broader point though, I agree. However, laws are written for those who would follow them, not for the people who are going to break them anyways. Israel and Hamas never ratified the Rome Statute that created the ICC, so they aren't bound by it anyways.

No one calls it the Reconnaissance Era. For one, it is the Renaissance. Secondly, it was an event that mostly effected central and western Europe, not an era. It overlapped with other important events like the Protestant Reformation and the end of the Crusader Kingdoms. That's why the typical end of the Middle Ages is the Fall of Constantinople in 1453, marking the final end of the Eastern Roman Empire, which had lasted nearly a millennium after the Fall of Rome.

What gun revolution? The modern firearm as we think of it only truly made bows obsolete at the end of the 1800s. Prior to that, it was only around 1500 that guns gained enough advantages to surpass bows, and that with the major drawback of being vulnerable to return fire. Age of Empires 2 does a great job of showing this, as only one unique unit, the Conquistador, uses the weapon, and it can be hard-countered by heavily armored units like Paladins and faster glass cannons like Saracen Mamelukes and Bulgarian Konniks. They can tank the first shots from guns before reaching the enemies and taking advantage of their slow attack speed.

He did basically tell the government to p*** off and let him go alone, and was completely apathetic to the deaths of the other humans, so I think it is deserved.

I would try to avoid acronyms like NSA. In the United States, the National Security Administration has a dark reputation that may be even more disdained than the CIA, Department of Homeland Security, or the IRS. They literally took the book 1984 and made it a reality. If China's cybersecurity is the Great Firewall, then the US's is the Great Internet Spiderweb.
