To be fair, it was the largest cavalry charge in history. Between 30 and 40000 horsemen charging is insane. To put that into a comprehendible context, the charge of the rohirim you see in the Return of the King had 5000 horses. The largest charge in the Napoleonic wars (iirc) was Murats desperation charge at the battle of Eylau with 11000 cavalry, which somewhat won the day and is considered one of the great cavalry charges in history.
This charge was 3 to 4 times larger. It was truly a hurricane of vengeance.
What’s your source on the spacex team distracting him? I can’t find anything supporting that. I do find some interviews from anonymous employees saying it’s calmer now that he’s so focused on twitter.
My i7-3990k with a 1060 came out of retirement for Baldurs Gate 3 and now I have plans of giving it a new life as our private cloud gaming computer at home, since my wife decided to start playing some games as well (puzzle games like Creeks).
I was in the market for something low budget with two nics for a local firewall. Since this gave me a nice discount on top, I ordered a zimaboard now as it’s pretty much exactly what I need. Thanks for the tip

The Undying Mercenaries series by B.V. Larson is kind pf similar. Humanity is basically given the choice to be useful to the galactic empire (forgot what it’s called in this series exactly) and the only useful export product we can offer are soldiers. The minds of the soldiers are backed up before going into battle and can be put in a cloned body, hence undying mercenaries.
The Age of Napoleon. I’m a Patreon supporter because it’s simply an awesome and informative podcast about a hugely interesting and transformative era and person.
What’s the name of your chicken and do you have a picture perhaps? I’m genuinely curious. I’ve heard of an old acquaintance who also had a pet chicken, but it’s just hard to imagine.
If you’re not used to cooking with induction it’s a bit of a learning curve. It gets warm very quickly so your timings are different. I burnt a ton of food learning to cook with induction, but once you get the hang of it, it’s super convenient.
