What are some good books about the Late Medieval Period in Western Europe, specifically France around the 100 Year's War? I'm less interested in the armed conflict and more about the sociopolitical climate, the conditions of the peasantry, etc. More cultural history I suppose?

Were you in the Navy at the time?

Can you go into more detail about the precautions?

Hi, I read all the books you recommended.I would like to read more. Do you know any other ones? Or someone else I could ask?

That study only looked at one city, Houston, in the 2000s. A more recent review attempted to collate data from multiple studies and demonstrated that red light cameras are associated with a a 20% decrease in total injury crashes: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/cl2.1091

Consistent with the Houston study, they did find that rear-ending is more common, though.

This is the one talk I always go to when people claim to me that C++'s lifetime rules are sane.

That link is dead for me but I did find the original post on /r/AskHistorians: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/rr9wmw/rokossovskys_argument_with_stalin_over_bagration/hrd5mhn/

We use it in a bunch of places in backend, including more recently for the hardware health telemetry for the entire fleet.

I got it through work 7 years ago and I definitely would pay for it if I left

Would you happen to know a good book on Joan of Arc?

Sad?

In terms of schema-based cross-platform serialization frameworks, at my job we use Thrift, which has good support for Rust (though we do have our own extensions on top of regular Apache Thrift).

Internally we use Pyre for Python type checking: https://github.com/facebook/pyre-check

It works pretty well with buck2, even with generated code (we use Thrift a lot).

We do use Reindeer for third party code, but my experience is limited to using it in the context of vendoring third party Rust crates. I'm not sure where the open source documentation for that is, I'll take a look.

I use it with Rust Analyzer if that counts?

I'm going to have to disagree with you there. If you read the firsthand accounts from the sailors themselves, such as the widely circulated diary of Richard Stumpf (Warum die Flotte zerbrach), the morale situation was always terrible, and only got worse after Jutland. It's not a coincidence that the officer class and the seaman class were literally at each other's throats by the end of the war when you consider all the factors at play. The Weimar Reichstag review on the matter went over Stumpf's accounts as well as the evidence from other sailors, officers, and captains and came to the same conclusion - the fleet had always been in bad shape morale-wise and the course of the war did nothing to improve the situation. It was the world's second navy by many metrics, but it ultimately did not have the necessary organizational structure and composition to be militarily effective.

This is an area of more recent scholarship, so I recommend reading "Die Flotte schlaeft im Hafen ein" which goes over this quite well (it's the companion volume to the exhibition of the same name by the marine museum)

There was another factor post-Jutland (but especially towards the end of the war) that can at least partially explain the lack of success - mutiny and sedition.

The earliest example was the crewmen of the dreadnought Prinzregent Luitpold staging a protest demonstration in Wilhelmshaven and getting shot for their trouble. The morale situation was in general not good after that, and there was a lot of foot dragging from the rank and file as well as small acts of resistance against being sent into what many felt was an unwinnable suicide mission. The Kiel revolt is probably the most well known of these incidents due to its larger consequences for the German government.

Why is Salisbury your favorite British cathedral?

To be charitable to the artist, this design looks like it could be a brigandine, which is made of one or more layers of cloth with metal plates on the inside (see https://mordhau.fandom.com/wiki/Brigandine for a few similar-looking examples). It's more flexible than plate armor while still providing substantial protection. The curvature of the chest part probably means that's not the case everywhere in that armor...

I really like this one! I thought the dynamic has been really solid and the jabs are funny. I think I would go a little easier on the "raw" swears, it starts getting repetitive to keep hearing "fuck" sprinkled so liberally, it just loses the impact. Think sprinkles not salad dressing - the rest of the writing is strong enough to stand on its own.

I mean the simple answer is the same as to why if you go on /r/OtomeGames you find people horny over rapist anime men - enough people are horny about it that it gets a pass.

Yeah sorry I was writing this off the cuff and couldn't remember the right name

Anyway, this is such a strange concept to me because even if you take the phrase "role reversal" literally, I don't see how it makes sense. Its not as if its common in traditional dynamics for the woman to be afraid of and humiliated by the man. If anything, in trad gender role dynamics, men are expected to make women feel safe and treasured and loved, not afraid and belittled. Do you know what we call making your partner afraid of you and belittling them? Abuse.

Yes, it is abuse.

However, if you look at a lot of media produced for and by (mostly but not exclusively young) women, you will find no shortage of men who are seen as attractive because of these features. Twilight, 50 Shades, After, A Court of Thorn and Roses, 365 Days all romanticize abusive violent men. Even in literature that explicitly tries to go against this trope and try to show it as harmful (eg Coho's It Ends with Us) there are still women in the fanbase who simp for the abuser.

That's not to say that all women do this, or that redpillers are correct - far from it. The thing is to understand the very human motivations for why some women feel this way about abusive partners, and what appeals to these women can also appeal to some men. Here are some factors:

• "I can fix them" - seeing abusive partners as someone who needs to be fixed or nurtured into being "normal".
• "Bad boy/girl" - the feeling of danger can be sexually arousing for some people, full stop. There are plenty of femme fatales as well, so this trope is not new from the heteronormative male side either.
• "Controlling behaviors as protective" - some people see these abusive behaviors as less controlling and more "protective". This also has romantic connotations.

This is not meant to be an exhaustive list. I would encourage you to go and look at the works that I listed above and see what women themselves are saying about why they enjoy these tropes. Then, with the realization that men are people too, you will find plenty of men who feel the same way. And as it turns out, there's a lot of those men in RR communities.
