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.
Six shields = same total width as Eight fishmen.
He's a stereotypical knight from something like the legends of Camelot. Chivalrous to use his power to protect others, but with no sympathy for criminals beyond the basic mercy of not killing them.
Noblesse Oblige - The duty of those with power is to protect those with none. It is the foundation of Chivalry. It's the "Uncle Ben" saying.
A gun will also knock you down if you aren't strong enough. The sling would be the best bet, as it is reasonably effective even for weaker people.
While fast food can be cheaper, most colleges offer fairly cheap options in house, like cafeterias. In my experience, it's rare for fast food to be cheaper than school-provided options. Then there's the amount of walking that is necessary. While some smaller colleges have parking near the major facilities, most require you to walk pretty far to get to where you need to go. If you aren't physically fit, it is really difficult to get around campuses. I personally only knew a handful of students who were decently large, and they mostly had extenuating circumstances like difficulties with how their body processes fat, or similar issues. Diet generally wasn't the issue, since the vast majority of students were required to maintain a certain level of fitness just to manage their class schedule, or they had to rely on the in-house options, which were already healthier.
A village this small would not have swords. They are too resource-intensive and not worth the cost. They would be using the metal on armor, which is more important. That allows them to concentrate on spears and armor, rather than comparatively useless swords.
No, I got it, but was this really the best chapter for it? It just feels wasted to do it here.
How did you even get 69? 69 is 3 x 23. Neither number is present here.
They have no choice. If they have no talent worth cultivating, they basically end up as slaves by another name.
My sister once travelled nearly 70k blocks just to find Mangrove wood. I chose to settle at spawn, while she built a large warehouse there, only to functionally abandon it in favor of practically being a nomad. Minecraft players truly are nutjobs.
Capital city pun? Was not expecting that. (While not currently the capital, Shanghai was once the capital of China under the Yuan dynasty. Dubai, as most people know is the capital of the United Arab Emirates.)
Confidentiality usually doesn't apply to those outside of an organization's influence, so it stands to reason that Zhang Mei is excluded.
Sound familiar?
There are many ways to make yellow snow, from the super harmless crushed frozen lemonade and just yellow dye on snow, to the super dangerous sulfur on snow, to the gross urinated snow. Clearly he is referring to a certain lustful variety of the last category.
