    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Orgrimmar is way better than Stormwind. I like the Horde aesthetic a lot but I've never leveled the other side at all.

    This is a really cool channel by the way. Just gets into the mechanics as they are presented. Makes no conclusions or speculations about anything.

    Dwarf Priest here we go. I am actually getting pumped for this. I'll need to load up the client and stuff soon and start looking at the addons that will work.

    Ancient Civilizations

    It has to do with the shaped granite and the much heavier megalithic stones. King Tut's tomb and all of the tombs in the Valley of Kings were carved into limestone bedrock. Using simple copper chisels and dolomite pounding stones a single worker could remove almost a square meter a day of...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I am not promoting acoustic levitation, aliens, or any other completely fantastical thing. The only thing I 100% believe is that in our distant past (15k-30k years ago), somewhere, a more advanced society than cave dwellers surviving on hunting and gathering existed. That signs of this society...

    Honestly huge faction imbalance and being caught on the wrong side of it is the bigger concern.

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    World PVP was always, at most, a nice side distraction sometimes. If PVP is your focus for the game you're a retard. I'm way too old to die at the zone in to BRD 20 fucking times because of losers. They will also need chronoboon displacer in the game to deal with world buff retardation.

    The ramps would have still required the grade that he's talking about. Which is why the internal ramp is just another theory to add to the pile.

    No idea about other countries but the Giza pyramids are generally agreed to have been built during the 4th dynasty of the Old Kingdom. Making them some of the very oldest. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Egyptian_pyramids

    Ancient Civilizations

    This is the big mystery. Later constructions like the Colosseum, the Parthenon, and so on all used much more manageable sizes of stones. These don't take any imagination to understand how they were moved and shaped. Take for example Roman/Greek columns. These were actually built in pieces and...

    World of Warcraft: Season of Discovery

    Priest or Shaman depending on faction. I am very ware of faction imbalance though. Playing Turtle Wow it is so nice that you can cross faction group and raid. Sure, horde cant go into Stormwind but all the gameplay that matters ignores it. Blizzard should copy that as you are effectively...

    PVP Alliance is fine with me. No PVE realms though as I like world PVP from time to time.

    World of Warcraft: Classic

    I am probably going to play this. The level 25 limit and phasing makes the sizing just the right bite sizes for me to do it. I want to either Shaman or Rogue tank.

    Also I want to say that I am not fucking around with some faggot apps just for the privilege of paying for shitty food at a reasonable price. The only places worth a shit are P.

    I liked that video linked here about copper saws. Some dude did a test of copper saw on granite and when related to the size of existing things like in the Serappeum. It would have taken like 3 years of sawing 8 hours a day just to separate the piece that would become the lid from the whole. It...

    WoW Vanilla+ Turtle WoW

    Yes, Turtle literally uses the 2006 WoW Client. It's meant for CRT. Most annoying as it even uses the old Macro system which sucks dick.

    Ancient Civilizations

    To dispel issues with provenance they would need to do the same battery of tests against specimens owned by the Museum of Cairo or British Museum of Natural History. Anyplace that has "authority." Since they are rogue elements that exist outside of academia the absolute most they can do is...

    Ancient Civilizations

    I agree. The vases are completely unprovenanced from a known site. All they can agree upon is that it was in the private collection of a British aristocrat since the early 19th century. Which creates its own problems even if it was a complete forgery as 18th century stonemasons also wouldn't...

    Since it stops at level 25 at first I am real tempted to do this. When do they fire it up?

    IT/Software career thread: Invert binary trees for dollars.

    I don't dislike this manager as a person. She's very nice overall, but that shit sure is annoying. She is in a position such that she is completely unfireable. She has decades of experience in oldschool database architecture that is just generally hard to find these days. So she's a 100%...

    You need to think about it on a macro scale. What you're talking about would take centuries to recover from. Let's use your example and a solar flare fries everything more advanced than a transistor radio. But doesn't physically harm any person or structure directly. Boom every modern factory...

    I don't doubt Egyptians had primitive lathes (hand powered or something) but there are a good amount of these things that survived to modern day. I doubt that a super secret stonemason shop could have hidden their supercool dude lathe and you would find other examples of items created using...

    Ancient Civilizations

    The only thing that confuses that is that nobody is contesting that the vases they have come from at least the 18th century and have been sitting in a vault in some British country house since then. That guy talks about how many of the existing artifacts like those big black statues and the...

    They were buried in sand in the desert? IDK how granite weathers. But I think its more profound than that. With all skepticism applied you can only discern that the specimens they analyzed predated at least the 19th century. As they were gathering dust in some aristocrat's family vault or...

    The spectroanalysis or whatever those guys did was using modern industrial engineering equipment. The engineers in the video work at Rolls Royce and they paid RR to use their stuff for this effort. It is confirmed that these vases were in possession since the 19th century in some aristocrats...

    Ancient Civilizations

    Watched one of the videos tangent to the ones posted in here that presented something I had never thought about. The supposed sarcophagus in the King's chamber of the Great Pyramid is carved out of a single piece of granite. None of the pathways into the King's chamber are big enough so that it...
