v for frequency?

Most things would sneer at my air rifle.

Several counties where I grew up limited deer hunters to 12 gauges, either with buckshot or rifled slugs for the same reason. Even in the areas where rifles were allowed the heavy undergrowth effectively limited the range to

We put most of the above in ours, also onions and horseradish.

There used to be a guy on sci.chem who said something like: The only countries worth anything were the ones that had felt the tread of the Roman Empire.

He allowed the U.S. because the Founders deliberately imitated Greece and Rome.

He's talking about what we used to call "Indians" when we were young.

I'm going to prove my non-PC bonafides:

"How, white man. Where can red man find firewater?"

I don't see how that could have happened. That was even before MySpace, let alone Facebook.

Historians are divided on whether Bismarck trolled the French into declaring war to promote German unity or if he only made use of the windfall. It was quite a coup since the predominantly Catholic southern Germans don't particularly like the Protestant northerners. Bismarck was astute enough to roll back his Kulturkampf to hold it all together. It also helped with the alliance with Austria.

Whatever, that wrote paid to the Second Empire. Britain sat that one out since it had the traditional suspicion of France. Napoleon had managed to piss off Russia and the US, so no help there. Hubris is a common condition for nations but France seems especially endowed.

That fool couldnt even get the date right.

That did happen with the clearances in scotland.

Says nothing even remotely like TYPICALLY, f****it.

I was thinking of the Norway infrastructure built by the Germans. I was aware of Finland and their scuffles with Russia in WW2.

As usual the signs of another lost argument. Perhaps you didn't/can't read the bit, "17 deaths, and seven fetal losses".

You never could bullshit your way out of a wet paper bag.

Still nothing even remotely like TYPICALLY, f****it.

They got geometry, number theory, literacy, democracy. As we did. As the world did. Civilization is cumulative and universal.

Western countries certainly benefited from the decimal system, and the concepts of fireworks and sushi.

What did Italians eat before Marco Polo brought pasta from asia and someone imported tomatoes from the new world?

We just went for a walk in the canyon and popped into the Canyon Market, a little store in the village. I took a few pictures.

The raw milk fads are usually, ie typically, ended by publicity about illness and deaths.

Half a block away, on Chenery Street, there is an official cheese store with a lot more stuff.

Nice new market for F-16s. I wonder how that big old belly mounted vacuum cleaner will do on some of the improvised strips Ukraine uses when their normal strip develops big holes?
