Have you tried it on a hot day? For me it's the contrast that causes the headache.

I thought this was a special power that all middle-aged people got as their sleep quality gets shittier. Like your brain is still idling, tracking stuff, instead of fully resting.

Doctor: I can't treat your fungal infection. BTW, your immune system is under arrest for murder.

I followed the cited source for the wikipedia claim, and it's just a guy writing a paper and saying his opinion. He's not citing anything deeper to cover his claim about an initial volley followed by targetting individual solders. Just because it's in a paper doesn't mean it's right, or even well-researched.

Sure, it FEELS right, and that does have weight with living history and experimental archeology, but I worry that "feeling" is the only thing anyone is actually citing in this whole conversation, including Wikipedia.

Nobody was holding a ~90lb war bow at full draw waiting to hear "Loose". Not possible.

Volley fire wasn't a thing with bows. You ever try holding a 90lb war bow at full draw waiting for someone to yell "Loose"? Never happened.

Unless he's in India or Poland they're not hiring him anyway.

left tends to be pro-social for solutions, right tends to be pro-violence for solutions, so... yeah...

Hot topics likely would have new and unique search terms, but maybe looking up the very latest news is just not this system's strength. Thankfully there's more out there than the last 30 days' news.
