🛩️🇱🇹 HIdden inside an old hangar, somewhere in Lithuania, are some interesting old aeroplanes. A pair of 1960s Yak-18T and a mysterious “experimental” glider!
just realized that schild's ladder is the solution to langoliers. the novo-vacuum and the langoliers describe one and the same problem; so does the "twisted" episode from voyager season 2 (and many more): a field is going to go through us, and it will certainly be deadly.
but the responses are different:
langoliers: get the fuck out
twisted: do nothing, it will be fine
schild's ladder: build a compatibility layer, it will be fine

Humans are insane.Case and point - there were FULL PLANS to make a TANK driven with #nuclear power......Something that is meant to get shot at, and gets blown up no matter how much armor you give it as humans are SPECTACULAR at figuring out ways to blow stuff up.Someone had to go "hey guys, maybe radioactive material getting scattered everywhere by explosions, or irradiated tank crews are really bad ideas," as radiation shielding was also an issue.#writing #military #history #humor #war
Question: Are there any books (in English, German, or Italian) which detail the trade network of Renaissance/early Modern #Venice in Germany and the German-speaking regions of the European Alps?I am particularly interested in the flow of raw materials from #mining flowing into Venice.#history
