This is an oversimplification
Came here to say this. It’s key to near-future geopolitics.
You’re welcome. Enjoy the weekend!
There’s a more-usual Palestine one too now, I guess that person was resting their arm when I posted.
That’s true but there were better and worse Israeli pols.
Rabin would’ve done a two-state deal only Netamyahu had him killed.
Israel is still bad to the core, but it wasn’t inevitable that it’d be this bad.
Part of the problem is they have a real strong military-industrial complex and political power is held by folks with the ‘military’ personality-type.
In English practice it is commonly assumed that a full year’s work will amount to 250 days, allowing for holidays, stoppages for bad weather, and the like. It is interesting to note that Columella’s estimates (11, xii, 8 9 ) are based on the same working figure of 8 months and 10 days, i.e. 250 days, including a period of 45 days allowed for rainy weather and holidays, and 30 days of rest after the sowing
Our only source of information from the Roman agronomists is Columella…
Ploughing 4
Harrowing 1
First hoeing 2
Second hoeing 1
Weeding 1
Reaping 1½
Total: 14.5 or 15.7 man-days per acre
The Spanish figures appear to give a valid basis for comparison with those of Columella; both in Spain and in Portugal, simple ploughs and manual implements similar to those used by Roman farmers are still employed
Columella (11, xii, 7)
200 iugera [a Roman unit of area] require 2 yoke of oxen, 2 ploughmen, 6 labourers (if the ground is planted with trees 3 more labourers are required). Reduced to man-days per acre, this equals 18 man-days per acre.
Lombardy (contemporary)
34 work-days per acre per annum.
Pegola estate-Lombardy
Good yields of wheat at 28 cwt. [that’s about 1400kg] per acre and 14 tons [about 12.7 tonnes] per acre of sugar beet. On 500 acres 23 permanent and 150 casual labourers are recorded. The permanents work 200 days per annum, the casuals 120 days, which equals 45 man-days per acre per annum
one day weed from Columella seems like surprisingly little weeding. I suppose that is made up for by there being a lot of ploughing and hoeing. Main reason I’m looking at this is to figure out how these guys did without herbicide. They ploughed more than I do.
There’s no yield data in the paper except for the Lombardy estate. I can probably find data on Ancient Roman wheat-yields if I look. But taking the Lombardy figures –
Old-fashioned labour-intensive methods worked fine. 1 labourer produces bread for 28 mouths.
The old-timey “28 cwt. per acre” is 3.5 t/ha in modern lingo. My country gets 3.0 average but isn’t as well-suited as Lombardy.
These people march in the streets and throw molotovs at cops because of a proposed 3 year increase in retirement age, but the sitting government entirely ignores their votes and nothing happens?
I admire that they value three years of their life mkre than the civic religion.
I think OP is trying to distinguish that it’s about culture rather than activism. Correct me if I’m wrong @[email protected]
4th: puns about wanking are funnier than puns about hospital-cleaning.
I’d lean towards just [email protected]
My reasons are three:
That’s a reddit naming convention, emulating reddit culture
It signals forever to new users who didn’t see the split that there was a split
Federation already gets the job done: distinguishes [email protected] from [email protected]
A black samurai is just a normal samurai spraypainted black.
Look, can’t we agree that neither country gives a shit about the working class?
I have almost the exact opposite take on China.
Shit government, surveil people, torture people, no internet-freedom.
Their huge massive redeeming feature os that they REALLY give a shit about their working class.
The top one is taken from a website called vividmaps where it’s countries the USA has had some sort of conflict with
List of wars being involved in is not a list of countries being invaded and occupied, nice try though.
The bottom map is just a white map.
Garbage meme 1/5
and with the USSR
That’s your opinion
One 😂😂😂 bit is the way it even uses a purer shade of white for China.
See? You could have said that instead of posting falsified maps
honestly the map is too unserious to merit discussion
