So lindybeige is a YouTuber I encountered because of my interest in Medieval Warfare. Among other things he makes a compelling case that Spears are better than Swords (you can make them as long as you like, they don’t take much metal or time to produce, and you can throw them) but I can’t imagine …

Ladies and Gentlemen, The Queen
Still kinda thinking that Acela thing is a good idea. With BoJo Hospitalized does that mean she’s a reigning Queen? Thought Cromwell settled that. And it’s not quite- I have, myself, full confidence that if all do their duty, if nothing is neglected, and if the best arrangements are made, as they are being made, …

Our Current War
At the turn of the 20th Century there was a huge struggle between two Industrial Titans over the fundamental nature of our Electrical Power Grid.
