It's an abbreviation.
Not all abbreviations are acronyms, only the ones that take the first letter from each word. Lego takes two letters from each word, so it's not an acronym.
On a similar note, some but not all acronyms are initialisms, if they're spoken as the letters rather than the "word" they create.
FYI, DIY, PS are all initialisms, and also acronyms, and also abbreviations. ASAP, SCUBA, and LASER are acronyms and abbreviations, but not initialisms. Lego, appt, and st are all abbreviations but neither acronyms nor initialisms.

This one is ceremonial, but I'd guess similar swords are intended for mounted soldiers to slash at ground troops. The heavy bit on the tip gives it momentum to carry through when you hit someone.

In specific applications where it is useful to consider time as a 4th spacial dimension.
So if you're not talking about relativity, it's probably not.

Nope, the geometry actually works out such that it doesn't matter your distance from the mirror, only how tall the mirror is and how high it's mounted.
A mirror that is as half as tall as your, mounted at head height, will show your white whole body regardless of how far away you are from it. TECHNICALLY, the bottom edge must be halfway between your eyes and feet, and the top edge must be halfway between your eyes and top of head.

Humans.
The current western political landscape is not the first time immigrants have been a political scapegoat. This has been a recurring theme for thousands of years.

That buckler, however, is not being held correctly. You hold it as far out in front of you as possible with a stiff arm. You don't sweep blows away like in dark souls.

Midwestern here.
I think the fact that EVERY Midwesterner mutually shits on Ohio at any opportunity kiiiiinda makes a case that they're Midwest also.
There are other states MORE deserving of the shit-talk, but it's not personal and visceral the way every other Midwestern state hates Ohio.
