This is an oversimplification, I would not consider Orban far right and PB are more populist left if anything. And it's not all Russia's fault, in Bulgaria the pro-Russian government came into power after five years of self-procl

Bronze pipes have been discovered in Roman-era settlements and even earlier sites. That's a long time before tobacco was available in Europe.

>Diátaxis is similar to DITA I don't see it. DITA differentiates between topic types such as task, reference, concept, etc., but a tutorial or a solution guide will be a combination of those topic types. Here I believe the focus is

There are less than benign godlike entities in that imagined future, for example the Excession and some of the Sublimed. That adds an additional layer to the narrative.

I am sorry for jumping on this opportunity to be a smartass, but this type of armor predates the sarissa phalanx by almost 1000 years.

You can deorbit debris without physical contact, but you could argue the method results in a weapon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laser_broom

Not only that, people whose most fertile agricultural land is now under salt water.

There is a non-zero chance we are headed for a situation where global warming and sea level rise will make hundreds of millions, mostly from equatorial regions, desperate refugees. It could be that an attitude of self-righteousness might b

What are examples of good CMS software that you've used?

I had a titanium Tissot watch and it scratched easier than steel watches.

I'm starting to think some kind of shade megastructure in orbit might might be the only solution to lowering global temperature. I know that light exerts pressure and that keeping it in place would be a major challenge, but still.

You use Balkan as a synonym for Yugoslav, which is wrong.

Bulgaria and Greece are Balkan countries. How are they much smaller than Serbia?

I think Chasm City is his best book, but it requires context from other Revelation Space novels to be enjoyed fully.

What about armor?

I think shortage of metal was a problem during the bronze age. Because bronze is easily recyclable, my theory is that the Late Bronze Age collapse happened when everyone had a sword. In the Iron age, it's not a question of availability

It's worse than than, the author of the post owns a failed startup named LogSentinel and now he is desperate to escape into politics.
