Sun rises in the east. Sets in the west. Most coastline in CA is facing the sea to the west, or at least west-ish.

We used to call that Pasta Rouge in what just now realize is plain wrong. Should be Pasta Rosso

I agree that any soldier must meet the demands of "war". And in any field unit I was ever in (Norwegian Army) you did not share equally in squad/unit tasks. I was above average strong and could carry the MG3 or the Carl Gustav for a longer period than a less strong solider on long marches.

Then again some units like special forces who have a high demand on physical skills might benefit from also having female operators attached for missions that demand a female. Let's say when operating in cultures where male-female interactions are very socially regulated.

I agree that weapon system technicians on F35 might not need the same level of physical prowess of foot recon soldiers operating deep behind enemy lines.

OK. We start at the beginning. 10000 years before our current date, a boy is born in Anatolia that will one day become known as The Emperor... Wait perhaps we should start 30 million years ago since you also should know about the war in heaven, the fall of the C'tan and the fate on a race known as the Necrotyr.

As I understand it from another thread about this, it's normal to use adhesives on modern cars. Just that Tesla fucked up and uses the wrong adhesive.

I would love for my 40k groups five year group chat to be leaked. My theories about Alpharius is valid I tell you.

Nononono, dont go! We haven't even gotten to the part with Valdor, and the Emperor yet.

Some people want to 3d print for a hobby, while some want 3d printers as a hobby. You are the second type, while out of the box printers are for the first type.

Personally what kept me away from 3d printing my own terrain for miniature wargames is that I don't have time for another hobby. I just can't be bothered with endless fiddling with settings, temperatures, speed, and all that. But I understand your feelings

I sort of made the comment in jest, but if the Danish school children are told of amicable cooperation and a split we learn different things.

Norway, Denmark and Sweden got the same monarch in 1397 under Queen Margaret (Kalmar union) Sweden elected Gustav Vasa in 1523 and left, but Norway including its overseas territories (then including Iceland, Greenland, the Faroe Islands, and the Northern Isles of Orkney and Shetland) was in the beginning a seperate kingdom but sort of was annexed as a Danish province over time. Orkney and Shetland was pawned of as dowry and some parts of mainland Norway was ceded to Sweden after the numerous wars with Sweden whenever Denmark-Norway was the loosing side.

Norway was not an equal part and did not leave peacefully. It was given to Sweden after Denmark was on the loosing side in the Napoleonic wars in 1814 and became a joint Kingdom under King Karl-Johan.

Norway didn't gain full independence until 1905 (when we also elected a Danish prince as king, but I think that was mainly because he was married to a English princess. Wikipedia still calls her Maude princess of Wales and not Maude of Norway so don't know how much of a queen she was. King Haakon was amazing during the Nazi invasion tho')

When Norway was lost to the Danish king he still kept all the overseas territories. Norway tries to reclaim Greenland in 1933 but lost in an international court.

TBF, I think no one in Norway cares about the history now, or care much about the 400 year Danish rule. I think Norway would have lost all those territories on their own a anyway. In 1814 we made constitution after being lost to Sweden and tries to stay with Denmark by electing the Danish crown Prince as king. The Swedish king would have none of that ofc. The thing is that building a new nation between 1814 and 1905 nationalistic sentiments focused on the pre Dane period and dubbed the period the 400 year night. And Norway was treated as a colony, that's why there is so few institutions and budings from that era. Fredrik the 6 made a lot of slander to cover his pride after loosing Norway as well.

Edit: What I am mad about is how danish museums, universities and other similar institutions have kept items that are culturally important to Norway.

Norwegian pondering the Danish theft of Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland.....

But I do agree with the statement.
