    okay i found a SI unit whose application is silly: kj for food? the kcal is a metric-derived unit, the only reason it "isn't" is that they tossed it out in a conference in 1948 so electricians and cooks could use the same measure? i don't see how that is actually helpful to anyone. and evidently, this change occurred after almost universal adoption of a perfectly metric measurement had been completed. now we have two competing standards!

    how well do y'all "think" in dreams? it's quite remarkable how sometimes it's like things are simply occuring with no normal thought processes, but sometimes, like one i had last night, a large portion of my recollection is a critical reexamination of my opinion of a place based on the dream. my dream of course made the location about x100 times more hospitable

    DEATH TO SWITZERLAND i am so fucking tired of playing this 'look at license plate to know canton' game and getting it wrong 60% of the time because these monsters purposely put 'foreign' plates as the only legible ones in the shots. i don't know why this pisses me off so much, probably because switzerland is so small it should bee trivial to get fat points AND YET. other than that i did so nice sleuthing, got the tom cruise one off because i forgot about shooting schedules being before release dates shrug-outta-hecks

I've always thought it was weird a conductor was viewed as in 'charge' of people who are all using sheet music but I also know that a central coordinator that tells everyone to start and shit is probably important how much influence does a conductor have? how do they interact with the other artists artistically *and economically*? i would love to peer into this a little bit

    hoping for some basic, short answers from the socialist perspective before i have to look at big books like literally called "The National Question in Yugoslavia" for context i understand basically nothing about post-ottoman developments in the balkans, so feel free to start with what the fuck a 'Yugoslavia' was supposed to be before socialism too. ![stalin-heart](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/0b61630a-6c52-4407-ae82-f388c0d0f668.png "emoji stalin-heart") thanks in advance you wise Hexbeariens

    i really hoped it was exaggerated but damn, comrades. this a british movie with british sympathies and *unforgivably* british casting these fuckers didn't even try! yankee accents standing in for the french, i could accept, so long as they were different from the motherfucking english. but HALF of the french characters are fucking british?!?!?! under spoilers for space, there is not anything to be 'spoiled' from this: ::: spoiler spoiler comically miscast historical personages who we've got dozens of portraits of: Alexander of Russia, unaccountably not bald Francis of Austria, unaccountably fat Robespierre played by a man who was made to look **exactly** like Danton??? and the salt in the wound is of course, The Duellists. a film of infinitely superior historical calibre and consistency from the SAME fucking director. character assassination of the Comité de Salut Public (typical of a fucking englishman) caricature of both Thermidor and Brumaire, which you wouldn't think is possible as they were of utterly separate political persuasions, but of course they did that a calculated removal of the Revolutionary Calendar no effort whatsoever, in fact intentional mystification around the nature and sympathies of the imperial nobility, trying to play it like it was a return of the Ancien Regime i did like that Talleyrand was shown to be a devil on the shoulder, but it was not treated with that he was a traitorous sleaze ::: finally, things i liked: 1792 issue french uniforms appeared in limited edition at Toulon 1798 issue austrian did as well, though apparently only for voltiguers/jaegers at austerlitz? Thomas-Alexandre Dumas appeared in multiple scenes, *but was not named* which is super fucking awful Josephine had a prominent role. and yes, we could do a whole additional post about how anachronistic the women's costumes were, but she generally looked very cute and i'm grasping at straws for things to appreciate here

    this is compelling in a lot of ways. this is Childeric III, the last puppet merovingian. the mark of merovingian kingship was--quite uncommonly in history--the longest hair. he is being shorn and involuntarily entered into monastery, a treatment common to defeated claimants to the merovingian kingship. he was the last, though, so there's a finality to it

    you got fucking kings, Torygg, Helseth, living gods of the Tribunal.... under an "Emperor"? who puts some garrisons around but does.... what exactly? theres an "East Empire Trading Company"? whats that do? it kinda seems like a holy roman empire, kinda seems like a regular roman empire. they've got knights, dukes, but a Legion... yes i know the answer is technically "these jackoffs just made it up as they went" and don't care a lick about political theory but this is exactly the kind of excercise that makes fun speculative historiography
