They produced the 2600 from 1977 to 1992, so most of the board could have technically played it new, even if they were toddlers mashing button. I remember seeing the woodie version and paddle controllers at some relatives house, but only remember playing the black and silver plastic version with...

As dull as the article on the archeological site is, it's still about a site at Gaza, which seems rather difficult to make up with that much detail. From what I found on him, you may be thinking of his claim that modern Egyptians are almost all descendent from ancient Egyptians. That upset a...

Having a hard time finding how long the Starz CEO, Jeffrey Hirsch, has been the CEO. Is he the guy that canceled a bunch of shows in 2019, Counterpart being one of them, in order to better appeal to "premium women" with some new shows they were going to develop (along with more seasons of...

Right, you have made it clear. You are making up your own shit so you can feel smart/superior in your "knowledge" to people who dedicate their life to studying this stuff. Just like all the other conspiracy nuters. Sorry for not lumping you in with them previous to this, I shall proceed...

So the Undersecretary of the State for the Giza Monuments, Dr. Zahi Hawass is wrong? None of this stuff exists and is all made up? https://www.guardians.net/hawass/buildtomb.htm This article from 2011 is wrong (can't use modern stuff because it's all woke, right?)...

So, when estimates say if it took 10,000 - 30,000 people to build the pyramids, none of them were slaves?

The hell he didn't. The people working on the project are the ones that build it. If 80% of the workers were cement mixer truck drivers, then cement mixer truck drivers built it. What percent of the workforce would you say were slaves?

Obtuse my ass, in just this statement you make it sound like you are saying slaves did all the unskilled labor. Which is moving all the stones around and even rough cutting the huge stone blocks at the quarry for transport. That's 80% of the work of building the pyramids and if slaves did 80%+...

According to this it is "just" layoffs:

Here is Humble Games: https://store.steampowered.com/publisher/HumbleGames Slay the Spire looks to be a different company:

Well you were certainly as clear as mud, as I thought you were saying that the vast majority of workers on the pyramids were slaves. Especially since you took such umbrage with me saying there were 10s of thousands of workers that could be working on any part of the carvings and stone smoothing...

There doesn't seem to be any evidence that they pushed very far into Nubia; most of the deep desert is impenetrable to militaries and the terrain becomes very rough as you cross into that part of the Nile. I doubt border skirmishes would produce enough slaves for them to make the ones they...

Slaves were not that expendable, they would have provided them shelter and the certainly had to feed them (which means a huge logistical support network). Egypt didn't have places to just go capture large amounts of replacement slaves. They had deserts to the east, deserts to the west, water to...

So you are saying they went through the trouble of paving a large area to then put the lowest rung of their society on (slaves), then every so often they would come by and clear them out instead of building more permanent structures over 30 or more years? Also, that the paved area was large...

Huts, cooking fires, eating plates/bowls, and other logistical support still leave archeological evidence. Large numbers of slaves are going to also need guards and ways to keep them from running away. They don't need to be stone and mud walled building, and I doubt most were.

They still had to be housed somewhere, do you propose they all slept on boats, to die in the yearly floods, or something?

People use a wide definition of slavery, so of course you can call a yearly debt of work, by the peasants, to the Pharaoh, slavery. Just like people today call working for "the man" wage slavery. There are certainly different types of slavery. For example, some slavery has the ability for the...

Victor Conte is a sports coach who designed doping programs with world-class athletes. Through his platform, the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative, or BALCO, he supplied an untraceable designer steroid among other drugs to competitors who dominated the Sydney 2000 and Athens 2004 Olympics.

Day laborers are dudes you pick up at Home Depot, these were just laborers that worked with stone day in and day out for decades. It's not like the bosses weren't sure they needed them to move and cut stone tomorrow, or the next day, or the next day, etc. In a 50+ year monumental project, it...

There is supposedly archaeological evidence of huge camps around the Pyramid constructions sites that could house 10s of thousands of people with layouts and sites that correspond to payed laborers, not slaves. If that is the case, then it would not be a stretch for 100s or 1000s of them to be...

That video shows they can get very close to the final shape with stone tools alone. Carving stone just takes time, the tools dictate how long; rubbing 100s of bronze picks across a stone for a 1000 hours will leave a grove. There are theories the Egyptians (not the Inca/Maya) used sand between...

Watching this video on carving limestone, using stone (from a channel @Bandwagon found in the Video thread) made me think of the Chucks following post. It seems to relate to other posts I've seen here too (whenever I parachute in): So, of course, it made me do a quick search on this too...

Don't know anything about the DLCs, but what about the 10,000 summons strat? Load up all your casters on as many summons as they can muster, then resummon as they die. Give non-casters summon wands too. Give your melee some ranged weps, or have them able to disengage from combat so summons soak...

The board looks rather active to me. The inactive ones will have posts from 2+ days ago in the top 10. The time stamps are when that was first posted, not last comment and it auto-sorts them by "Hot" which I think takes into account upvotes plus comments in the last 12 hours, maybe (some magic...

Well here you go bro. HAVE YOU EVEN WATCHED ANY ACTUAL STAR WARS SHOWS BEFORE?!?!

Go read that r/TheAcolyte sub and you will see positive reviews. I doubt they are all bots and they are just talking to themselves too much to be paid by Disney.

I use Benefiber, since it has zero taste and dissolves almost completely in water/tea. What I stated is with fiber supplement, unless I am already eating enough fiber naturally in the 2000+ Cal a day diet. I learned the hard way a long time ago with the 1200 Cal cutting diet of 80%-90% chicken...

Funny to relate it to healthy at any size, because for me it directly equates to how much I eat. If I am eating over 2000 Calories a day, then I usually poop every day. If I am eating 1000 to 1500 Calories a day (heavy cutting diet), then it's 1 to 2 days between poops. If I am fasting for 2+...

Have you tried Elden Ring? It's real time, but more suited to that kind of gameplay.

lol, big king Ogre? So you were playing like some sperg action game clicking through everything and have no idea what's going on, eh?

The whole Manson thing happened before I was born, so maybe it's about age, but I don't like Hollywood, full stop. I don't generally care about the lives of actors and only know a handful of directors by sight, with most of those being dead or close to it. I never had much interest in learning...

Have you looked at setting up a Home Assistant on a Raspberry Pi or similar device? They may have figured out how to control your fans. I used the guide below to set one up, but I don't really like smart home shit talking to the internet, which more and more require, so I just switched it all...
