It’s difficult to eat your way through an invasive species. Himalayan Balsam is also edible but it’s thriving in the UK.
In fact edibility is often the reason these things are so invasive, it’s why American Signal crayfish are over in the UK.

Near rivers it has to contend with Himalayan Balsam, and the bees love that stuff too.
Holy shit you’re wrong, now with references

Ants evolved from stinging wasps, so if wasps are orcs, ants would be something that evolved from orcs. Uruk-Hai aren’t really an evolution of orc, but they are an advanced breed, so maybe they can suffice?
Jesus is said to be God, therefore he should be omnipotent and capable of literally anything we could comprehend as humans, or even more than that even.
Obviously it’s all bullshit but yeah.
The truth is that the steel made from Iron Sand was not lower quality than the Steel made from other sources of Iron.
There was nothing inherently low quality about using iron sand anyway. Impurities were carried away by slag and the iron in the sand was easily recovered using washing and later electromagnetism. Imports were used as demand increased.
Impurities are melted into slag. Not the iron. That’s what slag is.
What century of katana are you speaking about? Many katana were used with modern metallurgy technology and imported steel. Do you think modern Japanese created cars are also made from steel refined from sand? Do you think the guns Japanese Samurai used were made from steel refined from sand?
Sorry mate, I know with the remaster coming out soon that I should be careful with the spoilers.
Who really believes Russia will stop at their current claims? Once they achieve their current goals, they’ll attack for more, and more, and more. The killing doesn’t stop.
The person Europe appeased eventually went on to go and shoot Hitler, afterall.
Yeah they’re a bit better at slashing whilst a straight sword is slightly better at thrusting. Typically a curved sword is a bit better whilst on horseback or whilst fighting unarmoured or lightly armoured opponents and straight blades are a bit better whilst fighting one-on-one and against somewhat more armoured opponents.
But these are slight differences and sword styles are also varied in each region, so the Japanese did develop swords which were more adapted to thrusting with reinforced tips and Europeans did develop swords which were more effective at slashing.
I think some people obsess over what swords are the best and the worst. In reality the style of sword was unlikely to be the major deciding factor in a one on one fight. The amount and quality of armour and the skill and capacity (Size and strength) of the fighters themselves are much bigger factors.
The whole “Japanese steel was really weak” thing is as much of a myth as the whole “katanas are super powerful superior weapons” thing.
They’re all just swords, and don’t make that much of a difference either way.
The comment was talking about things being Orwellian. Is it not Orwellian to have police killing many, many civilians?
Where are the horse exoskeletons for horses that fall and get injured in completely unnecessary horse races?
You are 66 times more likely to be killed by a police officer if you are in the US compared to in the UK.
Pretty sure that’s Europa Universalis 4, but it could be another Paradox grand strategy game. I’m just pretty sure that’s EU4’s user interface. If the humour is that it’s supposed to be Nazi Germany, it would have to be hearts of Iron, and the German Empire would be named the “German Reich”. EU4 takes place before the second world war.
Edit: Nevermind, it’s Victoria 2, still before WW2, though.
Yep, just seems disingenuous to act like the history of the spice trade hasn’t affected our food culture when it clearly has massively. Hell, even curry in Japan is popular not because of India but because of British influence. The reason “Katsu Curry” is called Katsu is because of the English word “Cuts” referring to the cuts of meat in the curry, which is Japanese sounds like ‘katsu’.
They do destroy biodiversity but at least they are pretty and won’t fuck you up like Giant Hogweed.
