  • I’m ok with advertisements personally. My issue is soley with the tracking. You’re correct that this is how they pay for non paying customers but I’m focused on the morality of that monetization. Staticly inserted advertisments that don’t track you are fine. Like the old newspapers which had a simple advertisement placed there that didn’t watch you back. That’s fine.

    I’d be much happier if they paywalled the article, or parts of it.

    If the free version isn’t viable without immoral monetization it’s unviable. Don’t do it, or find another way to monitize.










  • Ah shoot, thanks for the correction. I was told by a history major a while back that casting the blade would be cheaper and easier than the nails needed for a hanging platform so forgive my lack of knowledge. Your explination makes sense apologies for the likely misinfo

    Last thing, as for sharpness, they were supposed to be sharpened and maintained sharp by the excecutioner. I assume that this wasn’t always the case but it was the standard. Executioners even usually owned multiple guillotines so that they could cycle through them when they wore down, repairing and maintaining the ones not in use


  • Ironically this comment is entirely against the concept of the guillotines which were invented to ensure equality in executions. Whether noble or common we all got the quickest death, beheading. No more of the terrible, cheaply made hanging stands which wouldn’t break the neck thus slowly strangling the punished.

    Much less wood needed for a guillotine as you don’t need a platform for the drop. Less metal working, as nails are harder to make than a single large metal blade. Less workers as it can be built by one guy.

    Equality In death.


  • And inside, a portal to the water dimension.

    Finally, another portal from the fire dimension to the mortal realm.

    Water turns to steam inside the fire dimension creating an insulation layer of steam and a layer of water between the two fire dimension X mortal realm portals. Sandwich of chicago-portal->water->latvia-portal. Boom, cheaper than air travel.

    Water gets hotquickly still, so you only keep it all together for a small period of time, but jump through and you’re a steaming wizard coming out of a portal wherever you want




  • When they have their own lane and space cars still just use it. They park on the bike lanes, move into them if somebody’s passing on their left, or try and pass cars on their right if they find space during slow traffic.

    Absolutely needed but people in cars will still cause issues and when they cause issues, it’s a multi ton vehical hitting some aluminium and flesh.



  • Personally, I slice the broccoli, get some oil hot, put in garlic and ginger roasting them for a bit, add some chicken stock and a smidge of soya sauce and add in the broccoli. When the stock evaporates keep adding olive oil in small amounts until the broccoli is cooked. Broccoli will take more olive oil than you’d think it could, even more than you think it should. Support your broccoli in its goals. Let it become one with the olives

    Edit: I suggest boulion cubes but halve the suggested water. I’m I make my own stock from scratch and simmer the shit out of it so it fits in the freezer though

    Edit 2: also tastes great with veggie broth.
