  1. Maybe. Or they were reading same sci-fi books. I guess, the early XX style was common. Also, Western movies were shown in cinema. *** What is strange on this picture is that the tower arms are retracted, but the bridge is still extended, and the human on the bridge is waving with hands. Something went wrong? SpaceX, check it just in case.
  2. To occupy less place after killing them comfortably, and to need less efforts to cover with ground. How could three men be buried in one tomb? Did they die at once? Then why this burial composition is so strange. Usually people don't bury with hand put on another one's crotch like he's petting or protecting the neighbor. They either align or cross the arms. And the bones don't look lying straight. No gifts are seen. This also makes the sacrifice version less probable. The interworld travellers usually have a bribe for the underworld spirits. It was just a glamour cinematographic version of the native uniform, and I can see nothing caricature in them. For me, it's vice versa, the movie screenshots depict normal warriors of their tribes. They should look frightening for the other tribes, and a gentle nature is not welcomed when a normal practice is to hunt each other, or drill the prisoners' head (traditional for Chukcha and Inuit, based on the XVIII-XIX war reports), or scalping the heads (normal for the Northern Amerindians, despite of the modern nonsense that the Europeans had brought this practice; nowhere in the Europe they do it, just because a settled nation doesn't need to carry the souvenirs and have them lightweight, entire heads on the fence are good enough). Burning and piercing is a normal part of a tribal initiation, this also leaves a print, and illustrates the softness. IIrc, the Indians were successfully using force and violence against other tribes, while of course a missionaire can just give advices. "Righteousness" = "following the right rules, established for greater good". AI can't be programmed, it can be taught on examples. That process can be programmed. Exactly what Savonarola was doing. Everything excessively spent is a sin and should be prohibited. Including the Botticelli's paintings. "Decision" means "punishment for those who doesn't follow it", otherwise it's a "wish". For the punishment, the Wendat should have an intertribal mechanism to force any tribe to follow the decision. Otherwise is just an anarchy. If they had such mechanism, it doesn't look that their society was so much kind and soft, because the punishment is for the whole tribe, including innocents. Good people don't do so. 2000 km2 0.1 human/km2 = 200 hunters-gatherers 1..2 human/km2 = 2000...4000 steppe herders 10..100 human/km2 = 20..200 k peasants All local Siberian peoples (except ~1 mln Yakuts, who are medieval invaders), are 200 k in total, and that's more than was in early XX. Somebody had published a rather optimistic view on the tribal demography. There is no so much food in the forest, that's why the people turn it into plowland. The very place of 35x56 km2 is either for several villages of peasants, or for 2..3 tribes of hunters-gatherers. They are antagonists, they need the opposite. HG need forest, not field; P need field, not forest. At the same time once the agriculture appears, the peasant population exceeds the hunter-gatherer population by orders of magnitude, and inevitable conflicts force the HG either to leave the place, or to be assimilated. So, I'm afraid, it's a fantasy. Alive, but hidden. Also it's cheaper to pay for several guards than for a hundred of workers they guard. Just such practice competes with mass forced labour used by much stronger corporations, lol, so it's marginal or used in places which nobody cares about. Say, the mining in Africa. Of course, technically the children are willingly do it. But in fact, how could they reject? Labour camps and prisons of XX in all developed countries were also a labour force, cheaper than hired ones. For unqualified mass labour, like channel digging, stone crashing, or wood cutting. Btw, V-2 were manufactured by the slaves (prisoners), so even told rocketry.
  3. Are you sure, they were buried? Based on the left one, they were killed, or inhumated alive to send them to gods of the underground, especially since the middle one was an anatomically deformed (hermaphrodite? just strangely looking?), and possibly impaled like a vampire. Yes. The arguments. Savonarola is almost an etalon of righteous, non-selfish person, like an AI, just wanting others be as righteous. But the road to hell is paved with good intentions. See, what happened next. Any low-level tribal and criminal society doesn't have a leader established by law, as there is nobody to establish the law. You follow the strongest, or the most rich, or the "eldest" family of your tribe. But you are free to stay alone, until some force wnats to take yours or you. Occupying (in good sense of the word) what area, km2? Typical density for the hunters-gatherers is ~0.1 human/km2. Largest European cities were 10..20..50 k, and they were fed by farmers. Impossible for the hunters-gatherers due to the highly variable amount of food per year. They mass born in fat years, and mass die in thin years, so the population is held at the low bound, and kid mortality is normal. A significant advantage of settled agriculture.
  4. Banned for entertainment Or from. Or both for and from. Anyway banned.
  5. Calling 911 because the babysitter is over here.
  6. Granted. Look, it's right behind you! I wish for a hemisphere-shaped moon.
  7. Zarya was written previously, before two stations were stolen. Salyut is the bureau, so its name was ancested.
  8. The truth about the SH/SS origin is revealed.
  9. Ja, ich verstehe, was Sie meinen.
  10. Liquid fluorine! Together with liquid fluorine everything feels like fuel.
  11. Based on the smooth, symmetric, and sharp geometry of their statuette, I would doubt that they were able to define the age of ceramics, and that it's older than 1922 when it was revealed to public. On Mellaart et al.: https://www-gazeta-ru.translate.goog/science/2018/03/13_a_11680993.shtml?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=ru&_x_tr_pto=wapp Nobody argues. That hulk needs this food more, unless you can prove to him the opposite. If a just-made backup bow is laying on somebody's bed, it's obviously common, as he went hunting without it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Girolamo_Savonarola Still prefer the perfectly righteous man to rule and judge you? Here you go.
  12. Afair, Columbus previously had spent some time in Iceland, and was informed about existence of a landmass to the West, and even had seen some maps. The circumnavigation distances are much shorter close to the pole, so it sounds probable. As the Earth was a sphere in his time, and its radius was already well-known from navigation, this would give him a rough estimation, how far can it be at the Europe latitude. Obviously, we don't know the pre-Columbian Columbuses lost in sea on going to the West. Maybe, he was the 1000th of them. Maybe, exactly due to the Icelandic tales he prepared better. They did! Sounded as "Go freaking 'way, heretic sectants, from our lovely country of sin!" And it was even more simple with then-future Australians. (10 000 m/s) / 2 = 50 MJ / kg. You have to burn ~1 kg of fuel just to deliver 1 kg to LEO. Together with need in oxygen and in expendable parts, it easily grows ten times, if not hundred. How much fuel do you spend to deliver a tonne of cargo by car? But what's even much worse, is the total absence of heat sink in vacuum. And the larger is the space station, the lower is the surface-to-volume ratio, making things even fatal for space industry. Btw, there is almost vacuum on Mars, too. And the few people in LMO, in the rotating habitat with 1 g. The metal strength stays same as now. So, the wireframe droids can carry a bag for you, but not something heavy. When you have nothing but some food and hand-made expendable tools, the private property is what you had eaten before neighbors did. On the other hand, do you see that Hulk in feathers, sitting at the camp fire? Go, take his axe and a piece of meat from his plate, because there is no private property in your tribe, so he will understand and give a friendly smile. Also you can always have a sleep in any wigwam around, because all your tribe is a big family. 50 kya the humans were nomadic family groups, rarely meeting each other, but having a lot of human bones in their kitchen trashcanpits. Also, if make somebody a slave, he would eat the gathered berries instead of you, so it's much better to eat him himself with the berries garnish... ...but if the year is good, and you have a lot of other meat, you can damage his feet and make cleaning your kitchen trashpit from the remains of previous prisoners, clean animal skins, and do other unpleasant jobs, till the winter, when you can eat him to save the food supplies. Also, do you see that jerk at the trash heap? He didn't pass the G.O.A.T. initiation test (what a loser!), and now is treated as something between the woman and the dog. All tribe makes him doing something for them, so don't hesitate to command him, too. He's a shame of your tribe, and should be happy for living. A less advanced and tolerant tribe would kick him out from the tribe to save food, so a bear would eat him long ago. Slavery? What's that? You don't have it. Selling people for money? What a nonsense! All people are free! You are just using the coward who was afraid of dying in battle, and the puny jerk from your tribe in the manner they deserve, and they are free to stop it at any moment with any rope on any branch. It's only their choice to keep living this way. Why not? Easily. Do you see, comrades, the bourgeous renegade who is privatizing the collective property by speculation, and trying to economically enslave you again? The heartless moneylender, whom you all owe the money? Doesn't he deserve the highest measure of social defense? Don't answer, he does. If they born on Mars, they have no choice. This would increase conflicts for being a local boss; decrease the ability of the boss to make the lazies working, and the undisciplined ones follow the safety rules; increase conflicts between the domes; and make it harder to leave the dome where you don't want to communicate. Because two domes are manufacturing same things, and somebody should select, which ones to buy/take for other domes. See the picture above. Several human units with enhanced privileges are redistributing the material resources from the human unit who had disproportionally overconcentrated them, to optimise the social logistics, that's what AI can see there. They call "gathering" the practice when the returned hunters report that the raspberry place looks full of berries, and next morning the women and kids take baskets and march to the place to gather all berries and bring them to the camp, while the hunters are hanging around, kinda they are hunting and guarding rather than just don't want to bother with gathering. In the evening they share the gathered. This would require a pretty strict IQ test on all colonists (I'm fine with this, might as well start the gene pool in the best possible way) to require everyone to be cross trained in multiple modern technological specialties. No, it would require robots and Siri. Everyone can say: "Siri! Repair the reactor!" I would be not so sure. When robots are doing everything complicated, the people have to have at least something to do themselves. Finally, we come to
  13. And the next one is Baney-M with Ban the Rivers of Banylon.
  14. Floor 4758: You see the machine which is rotating the Epsilomoon below.
  15. Banned for interstellar racism. Thargoids which you are blaming are not bad, they are misunderstood. P.S. Even for intergalactic one. What a shame ban upon you!
  16. Calling 911 because you are the thargoid.
