Javelin Missile Fails - 246K Each

radx says...

Most of those missiles are Javelins, which are more expensive.

Then again, warfare is all the proof you need that money is basically irrelevant, resources are what matters. "Affordability" in this context is only to legitimise not giving a jar of cold piss about the quality of live of he plebs.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Sugar

I'm not saying you're wrong, but when I have gone to the renaissance fair, the jousting was always done riding on the right hand side, with the shield being held in the left hand and the javelin held in the right, pointed diagonally across the horse. IF they are doing it right, that seems to contradict your statement.

To jump in on the left hand/right hand drive thing.

Figure most people are right handed. Early weapons, swords would be worn on the left hip to make it easier to draw. So you step up on the horse from it's left as the sword is in the way for getting up otherwise. Now as you ride your horse down the road, you'll ride on the left, as you want to keep approaching people on your right in case you need to respond to an attack, you are attacking them on your free side and not across the horse. So people get used to riding on the left of the road. This gives left hand drive a certain sense from a historical perspective.

Of course if you are driving a team of horses, then you are probably on the left rear horse, and for vision and control reasons, it's probably best to drive that team down the right side of the road. So a certain sense there too.

Then again, how often do you drive a team without a coach behind the horses? So why not drive from the right hand spot down the left of the road? Unless it has to do with the shotgun position, since then the person there has to shoot across the driver, in which case right hand drive once again makes sense.

None of which answers why some countries do right hand drive vs left. Did the US adopt right hand drive just to be different from the UK? Why did France adopt right hand drive? Did Napoleon's war efforts really lead to the rest of Europe adopting right hand drive? Sounds like an issue for CGP Grey to tackle...

Cat Limps Home with FUCKING ARROW THROUGH HEAD

redyellowblue says...

I'd a feeling whoever shot the cat was trying to kill it. Lucky cat for the arrow to glance the skull and just go through skin and muscle.

Almost similar to the poor Joe who gets a javelin through his neck or eye socket without dieing.
