#capacity 1000-1500

[velnna]

Hello! Would you mind sharing what resolution/canvas size you usually use for your art (especially your comics)? do you have any advise on finding a middle ground between high detail art vs. the resolution capacity for images posted to tumblr (or anywhere else, for that matter)?

Love your work <3

It really depends on the brushes I use but my resolutions tend to be tiny! Page width is anywhere between 1000 and 1500px and height depends on what I'm working on (generally A5 ish proportions). At 300dpi but that changes nothing in the actual process

I also work low res for illustrations, and again that depends on the brush. The lowest I go is 600-800px as the longest dimension and highest around 1500-2000px. If I need something at a higher res I'll work small then resize and fix it if needed

goddamn like….

there was an extremely sus “bridgerton ball” held downtown this last weekend that turned out to be a dashcon-level scam. probably couldve guessed that from the ads/website being littered w spelling errors, but anyway…listing a few of the things i know of:

-it was supposed to happen last month but the organizers (Uncle & Me Events) sold 1500 tickets for a venue w a max capacity of 450. Venue cancelled, of course. Organizers sent out one (1) email two days before the thing was supposed to happen. A lot of ppl didn’t even see the email so people were showing up to an empty venue in downtown Detroit wearing regency-era ballgowns. Security apparently told some of them that the event was a scam but idk how true that is. Anyway it was rescheduled at a new venue for a month later.

-valet parking was promised, not delivered. parking downtown is a pain in the ass in general but these people were also wearing ballgowns lmao

-nobody checking tickets at the door. there was a tiered pricing scale for tickets starting at $100 and going up to $1000 (a fool and his fukkin money i s2g) so all these ppl from the suburbs who paid hundreds/THOUSANDS of dollars to be treated like VIPs were pissed

-because nobody was checking tickets, people were just kind of wandering in off the street lmaaaaoooo so ppl were just kind of milling around in normal clothes eating the buffet, which leads me to…

-the food was bad: pasta w marinara, canned green beans, meatballs, and undercooked/raw chicken wings. people were expecting a sit down meal apparently? but I think that might just be the expectations of ppl more accustomed to tea parties than actual large scale events - ain’t no way they were ever going to do full-service dinner for 1500 people. it was always going to be a buffet.

-NO ALCOHOL lmaaaoooo the event info said open bar, there wasn’t even a cash bar. no shit, they had water and “mocktails”. check out the menu:

ITS ALL LEMONADE LMAAAOOOO but wait!!! ppl who bought VIP tickets also got hawaiian punch !!!

-see the tablecloth in that pic? the decorations were bad. like dollar store bad.

-they were supposed to have a bunch of different activities: dance lessons, costume contests, carriage rides. neither of the first two happened. the carriage rides did, but you had to pay extra and they only did them for three hours. again, 1500 people.

-that’s not to say there was no entertainment. they had a dj playing pretty standard birthday party dj fare: the hustle, cha cha slide. he also played hiphop which really upset a lot of the ppl larping as wealthy colonizers for SOME reason 🤔 disclaimer: i assume they were expecting classical music but a looooot of people specifically complained about the hiphop

- oh there was also a single exotic dancer stationed in the middle of an empty room. i am not joking. im not in the business of posting photos of strangers but the photos are out there and they’re tragic. this poor woman just took a gig and ended up with a bunch of middle class pearl clutchers complaining abt her on fb. that being said, my understanding is bridgerton is smut for ppl who want to pretend they’re above watching porn so idg why a dancer is such a big fucking deal, just sit down and watch ffs. oh wait-

-there was nowhere to sit lmao

-and no refunds

seems pretty clear that after overselling and losing the first venue, the organizers lost all their vendor contracts and had to scramble to have anything at all. could’ve just cancelled. btw the no refunds thing included if it was cancelled - they’ll just credit you for the next event lol

now listen. i do feel bad. I don’t think anyone deserved this really. I DO find it very funny that a bunch of of ppl who can afford $1000 tickets to dress up in expensive costumes and pretend to be aristocrats got scammed big time by Detroit.

Magic in TKoM's Faerie I: Relationships to Magic

Hello again! Join me in this post in my worldbuilding series as I talk about my magic system! This is another Q&A format style post with questions by @wondrousworldbuilding and members of my discord. The questions can be found here.

What is the relationship between magic/non-magic people? Why?

In Faerie, those who don't have a relationship to magic are considered disabled. This is because most fae are born with a connection to magic whether strong or weak, meaning if you have none at all, it would be considered a disability. There are definitely some discrimination in existence but people without magic can still be functioning, exceptional members of Fae society. They usually do civil service in the form of clerical work, archiving and craft arts.

If a child is born without a strong magic affinity to parents that do have a strong affinity for it, they are more likely to be nurtured and given accommodations than be cast out, especially among lower and middle class families. They're likely to be sent to vocational schools and given disability aids in the occasion that they require such aids on a daily basis. In noble families however, it is very much not uncommon for disabled children to be cast out and replaced via scouting for children at magic academies. This is because magic blood is very important to noble fae as it keeps them in line for the throne and stops people from underestimating them. Having a disabled child in a noble bloodline would be considered an embarrassment.

What causes some fae not to have an affinity with magic?

Sometimes it's genetics. Sometimes it's a curse or an illness that prevents the core from forming properly prior to birth. Sometimes it's because the two magic types of your parents don't mesh well. Sometimes it's just bad luck.

How does their fertility work? Are they able to have a lot of children or is that a rare occurrence?

Considering the fact that a faerie's magic core needs to be knitted prior to birth, complications with that can lead to fertility issues. Fae with low magic levels are more likely to have multiple children. Nobility/ fae with strong magic have longer gestation periods and tend to have fewer children. This is one of the reasons why it's so common for members of the court to have multiple spouses beyond the simple desire for companionship. Having a child can deplete your own magic levels and it takes a while for them to recover. If your magic capacity is small, the recovery period takes less time.

If a faerie has a lot of magic, they'll need more recovery time but some skirt around this by having children with different partners so that their required magic levels can be "replenished" by the other partner. Take the following example: a faerie has a magic level of 1500 arbitrary units. A child coming from this faerie would require 850 units per pregnancy. This faerie just had a child recently so they have a magic level of 1000 units, not enough to use to create a child without putting themself in danger so they have a child with someone has a high magic level so they make up the unit difference at conception. All three children of the current royal family were sired by different men.

What is the source of the magic? How is it accessed?

The gods are the ultimate source but magic exists in the land they created. It is everywhere, in everything. Some things have higher concentrations than others, the same can be said for some places, and some people have more than others. It's accessed through training and excesses are accessed through devotion and study.

How are magic spells performed? Does one have to do something specific to access it? Why?

Spells are performed through ritual but more commonly through incantation or a combination of the two. These spells are learned in school but depending on what you want to be able to do, apprenticeship or further study is required. That's why archivists are so important, they keep each region's spell records. Each region hides their spells from each other. Projectile magic used as weapons also needs to be studied extensively but it's usually only the nobles who has access to these records.

From where is power drawn?

Magic is drawn from the environment and the core that (almost) all fae are born with. Magic cannot be produced in a vacuum and one must be taught how to properly channel it. You can channel it from birth technically but not constructively e.g. you can manipulate water from birth as a water fae but you can't make it do anything per se.

To avoid this post from becoming too long, I'm going to end it here! Feel free to ask any questions you might have in the comments or on WBW or STS, whenever really. See you next time!

Nirvana Boston: Part 4 - Axis

This year marks 35 years since the release of Nirvana’s debut album Bleach and it also marks 30 years since the passing of Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain. In honor of one of my Top 3 Favorite Musicians of All Time, I’m doing a multi-part series Nirvana Boston, in which I look at all of the concerts Nirvana did in Boston. Part 1 looked at their July 1989 show at Green Street Station, Part 2 looked at their April 1990 show at Man Ray and Part 3 looked at their April 1990 show at MIT.

The 4th installment looks at possibly their most legendary show they ever did in Boston and their first of the year 1991. Since the last time the band had played Boston a lot had changed. Drummer Chad Channing parted ways and the new drummer was Dave Grohl, formerly of Scream.

September 23, 1991: WFNX 8th Birthday Bash at Axis (Boston, MA)

show flyer (quite a lineup)

Lynn, MA independently owned and operated alternative rock station WFNX was first launched in 1983 on 101.7-FM. The radio station was one of my favorites in the 90s and I was so sad when they ceased operation in 2012. Prior to 1991, WFNX was one of the early supporters of Nirvana in the Boston area, which is why WFNX DJs Duane Bruce and Kurt St. Thomas were at the Man Ray Show in 1990. Nirvana's major-label debut album Nevermind was going to be released the next day on September 24, but just a few weeks earlier on August 29, St. Thomas played the Nevermind album in its entirety on-air for it's World Premiere. So when the radio station was gearing up for their 8th anniversary concert celebrations they set up shows with multiple bands at multiple venues on Boston's Landsdowne Street. At Axis, the bands included Cliffs of Dooneen, Smashing Pumpkins (their debut Gish was just released a few months earlier), Bullet LaVolta and finally Nirvana. Duane Bruce says "I feel bad for the other bands that were on the bill that night, like the bands that were playing over at Bill's Bar. They were all packed houses and nobody talks about those shows. I'd say there were close to 3000 people on Lansdowne Street that night if not more. Certainly 1500 were slammed into Axis." 1500 might be an exaggeration, but not far off.

Nevermind tour poster and Boston was the second stop

Nirvana arrived in Boston the day before on September 22. They stayed at the old Howard Johnson's Hotel on Commonwealth Avenue that has since become a Boston University dorm. Reportedly the band had dinner at Division 16 on Boylston Street with some Geffen Records and WFNX employees. Afterwards, the band went to The Rat AKA The Rathskeller in Kenmore Square to see their friends The Melvins, but they weren't on the guest list and it was local singer-songwriter Mary Lou Lord who urged the bouncer to let them in even though they weren't on the guest list. She formed a relationship with Cobain for a short time. In the documentary The Road to Ruane about The Middle East promoter Billy Ruane (that screened at IFFBoston earlier this year), Lord elaborated that she took Cobain back to Ruane's apartment in Cambridge that night and they listened to his record collection.

MTV News attended this show to film an interview with Nirvana and some backstage tomfoolery including a Twister game gone wild at Bill's Bar next door to Axis! Here is the raw footage of that wild Crisco Twister game with some of the members of Smashing Pumpkins and an interview with the band:

In my friend Jason Steeves' documentary We Want the Airwaves: The WFNX Story, DJ Angie C. noted that for several months the only live footage MTV had of Nirvana was of their coverage at the WFNX Birthday Bash, so every time MTV News did an update about Nirvana they cut to a clip of them onstage with the WFNX banner behind them, so it was like the radio station and the band were intertwined for a while there.

Axis had a capacity of 1000 and it was packed to say the least. Both Nirvana and headliners Smashing Pumpkins were not going to be playing clubs this size much longer. Boston's own Bullet LaVolta had built up a huge following by this point and were WFNX favorites. Their major label debut Swandive was released the same day as Nirvana's Nevermind, and they had toured with Smashing Pumpkins, Mudhoney and Soundgarden. Bullet LaVolta drummer Todd Philips says "For us, it was just another show playing Axis. We weren't even playing the biggest room, there was a bigger room next door at Avalon. Nirvana wasn't even the biggest band on the bill at the time." As Duane Bruce puts it "if the show was a steam train, then after the Pumpkin and Bullet LaVolta, by the time you got to Nirvana it was just pure black smoke". At midnight, headliners Nirvana's set began. Kurt St. Thomas did an intro. The band did a 49 minute set. They did songs off of Bleach and several from the about-to-be-released Nevermind.

In terms of highlights, Todd Philips says "Sliver" and "Drain You", which he says "When I heard that, I said - holy shit, this is pop. This should be Top 40 music!" Very true! There is a reason some of the songs on Nevermind made the Top 40.

Here is the audio recording from YouTube:

Of the three times I saw Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters at Fenway Park (the most recent being this past July), I couldn't help but think he had played right across the street at Axis for that legendary show decades earlier.

Up Next: When a fan mentioned that he couldn't attend the WFNX show because he wasn't 18, the band decided to do a last minute show the next day at Axis that would be all-ages. Part 5 is the second Axis show in September 1991.

History of the RBMK 1000 (Reaktor Bolshoy Moschnosti Kanalnyy): High Power Channel Type Reactor

The RBMK 1000 reactor, the type involved in the Chernobyl Disaster, is a boiling water reactor (BWR) designed in the 1960s at the Kurchatov Institute, the Soviet Union's nuclear science center.

The USSR had placed a priority on developing nuclear power in the late 1950s in its never ending attempts to improve its infrastructure and power its rapidly expanding industrial base. Nuclear reactors are extremely effective at providing high baseload capacity to a power grid, since they are rarely switched off and (depending on the design) can generate enormous amounts of electricity for lower running costs than a more traditional hydrocarbon power plant. Essentially, since they are (almost) always on, they are always providing the grid with a large and extremely reliable supply of energy. It also allowed the USSR to appear at the front of atomic energy, and laude the successes of the ‘Peaceful Atom’. In the atmosphere of the Cold War, peaceful use of atomic power was a key propaganda tool at home and abroad.

The RBMK was selected for construction by the Ministry of Energy over the rival VVER Pressurized Water Reactor in 1968. It was chosen because it was cheaper to construct in terms of material costs, and the components could be mass produced in pre-existing factories for far lower cost. With an enormous power output of 1,000 MWe (megawatts of electricity) it was declared the 'National Reactor' of the USSR. Construction began on the first RBMK in 1970 at the Leningrad Atomic Energy Station. This unit entered service on December 21st, 1973.

Below: A labeled diagram of the core of an RBMK type reactor.

The RBMK 1000 and its successor RBMK-1500 (basically the same reactor with a slightly higher power output) was fraught with safety issues almost from its inception. This was related to several design features and quirks of the reactor, notably the abnormally high positive void coefficient due to steam bubbles in the coolant circuit and the use of graphite as a moderator. Several other even more concerning design flaws would become apparent over the course of its operation, culminating in the explosion of Chernobyl Unit 4 on April 26th, 1986. These revelations have even continued up until present day, with the most recent example being in 2012 when Leningrad Unit 1 (the one mentioned at the end of the previous section) had to be shut down for 18 months to replace graphite moderator blocks that had deformed due to heat and extensive use. This issue has been identified at several other RBMKs.

The reactor type experienced no less than two partial meltdowns in the history of its operation, one at the Leningrad plant and one at the Chernobyl plant (the partial meltdown incident at the Chernobyl plant is different from the explosion and complete meltdown of Unit 4 in 1986). Both of these were serious incidents with not insignificant radioactive releases, but they only partially damaged the respective reactors. The public was not notified in either case, and all information on the design flaws was kept secret by order of the USSR’s highly centralized government.

RBMK construction was halted only in the wake of the Chernobyl Disaster in 1986. Of the 26 reactors approved for construction, only 18 ever entered service. Several modifications were made to the existing RBMKs to eliminate the dangerous flaws that had lead to the 1986 accident. As of 2023, most RBMKs have been shut down and decommissioned. Of the 18 completed reactors, only eight still operate (Three at the Kursk NPP, two at the Leningrad NPP, and two at the Smolensk NPP. All but one of them are scheduled to be shut down and decommissioned by 2030).

The RBMK’s impact has primarily been showing that graphite moderated reactors have far fewer safety features than other water moderated reactors like those in the West. Ironically, the VVER which had been sidelined by the RBMK has enjoyed massive commercial success both in Russia and abroad as an exported design. VVERs are still being actively built and operated in about a dozen countries worldwide.

This is simply an informative blurb on the history of the RBMK-1000 nuclear reactor. I am going to make a more in depth explainer of how the reactor is built as well as an analysis of the physics of the accident at Chernobyl. I will update this post with a link to them when they are complete. My planned deadline is the 26th of April, the anniversary of the explosion. I hope this post has been informative and I am of course happy to answer any further questions and provide any requested information.

Can you give me some advice on effectively gaining a big belly without getting sick?

The scientific answer would be to find your maintenance calories (online calculator) and then add 1000-1500 calories to that. About 500 extra calories a day is about .5 pounds per week gained. Any added calories no matter the food will help with gaining weight and fat while still eating healthier foods like fruit, veggies, etc

As for stuffings it’s all about building capacity by taking it slow and eating till you’re slightly more than full. That way you’re not feeling sick.

The Dance of the Dragons: A Military Analysis (Pt. 4)

Before we begin, a huge thank you to those readers who have continued following these posts (in particular @notbloodraven, @branwendaughterofllyr and @lemonhemlock). If this is your first post you’ve seen, parts 1, 2 and 3 are all linked here.

Before analyzing the campaigns and battles of the Dance, we must first determine the army size of the Blacks and the Greens; doing so allows us to determine the military strength of the factions relative to each other, and by extension their capacity for waging war in pursuit of their goals. The numbers provided in the text unfortunately veer between straight forward and indeterminable, based on their convenience to George’s narrative.

Excluding the Iron Islands, which fought no major battles on land, the text gives us straightforward army sizes for the North, Vale, Westerlands and Stormlands. According to The Dying of the Dragons - Rhaenyra Triumphant, Roderick Dustin led a force of 2000 Northmen into the Riverlands to support the Blacks (the so-called “Winter Wolves”). Cregan Stark subsequently led his own host south after the return of Aegon II, which Septon Eustace and Maester Munkun place at 20000 and 8000 respectively. Gyldan places it at twice the size of the Lads’ Riverlands army or c.12000, giving the North a total force of 14000 troops. The Vale reportedly assembles 1500 knights and 8000 men-at-arms at the same time as Cregan’s march, eventually sending out 10000 men under Leowyn Corbray. Finally, Borros Baratheon assembles near 6000 men upon calling his banners per Rhaenyra Triumphant, but The Short, Sad Reign of Aegon II tells us that Borros had only 600 knights and 4000 foot soldiers with him when he marched on King’s Landing.

As for the Westerlands, Jason Lannister leads a host of 1000 armoured knights and 7000 archers and men-at-arms against the Riverlands; the destruction of this host at the so-called “fish feed” is said to have slain or scattered the greater part of the west’s chivalry, suggesting that 8000 was the ceiling for the Westerland’s army size. This figure conflicts with other numbers provided by TWOIAF and F&B, with the former stating that 1000 Lannister knights and 10000 men-at-arms fought in the War of the Ninepenny Kings; the latter states that the Lannister-Gardener host at the Field of Fire numbered 55000, of which the Gardener’s brought half again as many as the Lannisters, suggesting a split of between 20 to 22000 Westermen and 33 to 35000 from the Reach. 

The task of determining the army size of the Crownlands is a far more difficult one, as George never provides us with solid numbers within the text. The Crownlands houses that we know fought in battles during the Dance are as follows: Rosby, Stokeworth, Darklyn, Staunton, Crabb, Brune, Celtigar and Hayford. We’re told that 100 men of House Staunton were killed when Criston Cole sacked Rook’s rest, while the 800 men killed in the battle would have included men from House Stokeworth, Rosby and Darklyn that had switched sides to Aegon II. Aemond and Criston Cole attacked Harraenhal with an army of 4000 men, which almost certainly included Crownlanders given that Aemond called his banners before hand. We also know that Cole led 100 knights and 500 men-at-arms from the royal household against Duskendale and Rook’s Rest along with 1800 sellswords, so the 4000 men cannot only be from the Crownlands. 

Those from the ‘Green’ side of the HOTD fandom are likely well aware of the notoriety of the Riverlands army, the size of which seems to fluctuate based on the needs of the plot. The best figure to go off of from Fire & Blood is that of Aegon’s army at the Field of Fire, which numbered 11000 men primarily from the Riverlands. House Tully’s forces can be estimated by comparing the forces of Addam Velaryon at Second Tumbleton and the Lads army that fought at the Kingsroad. The World of Ice and Fire and F&B both suggest that Elmo Tully led forces at Second Tumbleton, but neither Elmo nor the Tully forces are mentioned in the actual accounts of the battle in F&B or the original Princess and the Queen. Addam’s force was about 4000 strong and comprised of troops from house Frey, Blackwood, Piper, Darry, Vance (presumably Wayfarer’s Rest), Smallwood, Vypren and Deddings. We know that the Lads’ army contained Tully troops and was nearly 6000 strong, comprised of troops from house Frey, Blackwood, Darry, Mallister, Vance and Bracken. Given that the Riverlords suffered only 100 casualties at Second Tumbleton, we can assume that there was crossover between those who fought there and who later marched with the Lads; assuming that the Brackens could substitute for the forces of house Smallwood, Vypren and Deddings, this would place House Tully’s forces at about 2000 men. 

In The Hour of the Wolf, Gyldan states that the Tullys possessed less land and a smaller army that the Blackwoods, Brackens, Vances and Freys, while we know from Catelyn’s second chapter in A Storm of Swords that Walder Frey supplied 1000 knights and 3000 infantry to Robb Stark. Between 2500 to 4000 men seems a reasonable estimate for these houses, given the Riverlands a potential army of between 12 and 18000 men including the Tullys and no other houses, or c. 8000 to 12000 excluding the Brackens and the Vances of Atranta, This is without including any of the other houses that fought in the Dance (Mooton, Piper, Roote, Darry, Mallister, Smallwood, Wode, Bigglestone, Chambers, Perryn, Grey, Charlton, Vypren, Deddings), nor does it consider all the figures provided by George. 

Aside from the armies raised by Addam Velaryon and the Lads, the only other host whose size we are given is that which fought at the Lake Shore (the “Fish Feed”) and the Butcher’s Ball. Aside from the 2000 ‘Winter Wolves,’ Forrest Frey commanded 200 knights and 600 foot at the Lakeshore, alongside 300 archers led by Robb Rivers of Raventree. These were joined by survivors from earlier battles alongside Lords Bigglestone, Chambers and Perryn, with Garibald Grey, Jon Charlton and Benjicot Blackwood arriving later. When this host appears again at the “Butcher’s Ball,” it consists of 300 mounted knights, 300 longbowmen, 3000 archers and 3000 Riverlands infantry, and all that remained of the Winterwolves (less than a third of their original strength). This would give the Riverlords over 7000 men if we factored in casualties from the Lakeshore, resulting in a grand total of 13000 men between the Lakeshore host and that of the Lads. Factoring in losses from the other battles fought in the Riverlands, it seems likely that the Blacks could have raised 15 to 17000 men.

Determining the size of the Reach’s armies is somewhat easier thanks to George offering some numbers for the armies raised, though considerable guesswork is involved. Although the Hightowers did not send troops to the Field of Fire, the size of the Gardener host at the battle gives us a number to work back from. The Gardener host probably numbered 33 to 35000 men as referenced earlier, while Maester Munkun places the size of Ormund Hightower’s army prior to 1st Tumbleton at over 20000, of which 10% were mounted knights. Ormund’s original force comprised 1000 knights, 1000 archers and 3000 men-at-arms, accompanied by ‘uncounted thousands” of sellswords, freeriders, camp followers and ‘rabble.’ If we assume the number of freeriders and sellswords was similar to the sellswords that fought beside Criston Cole at Rook’s Rest, Ormund would have an additional c.2000 men. If we assume that non-combatants (ie the camp followers and ‘rabble’) accounted for c.3000, then Ormund’s host would be 10000; House Rowan and the other Blacks of the Reach would likewise have 10000 troops, based on Gyldan’s comment that the Rowans descended on the Mander with a host of equal size. The other 13 to 15000 can be accounted for between the forces of House Tarly, Beesbury and Costayne and those houses that later surrendered to Ormund and Daeron. Of course this method does not account for House Tyrell and those houses not mentioned in the Dance, but it allows us to work with what little numbers George gives, however crude the calculations might be. 

I’ve decided to forgo a discussion of population estimates for Westeros, so I’ll link Atlas of Ice and Fire’s blogpost on the subject and a video by TWOIAF editor Elio Garcia which address this subject. Suffice it to say that the army sizes arrived at above are well below what Westerosi population estimates suggest they would be, and this can be chalked up to discrepancies between George’s writing in the main books and his side works. The total army sizes using our figures above come out to c. 40000 on either side, though not all of these forces were active at the same time during the Dance. 

Thank you for following along if you’ve made it this far; I promise it gets FAR most interesting from this point onwards, as we’ll begin analyzing the ground battles of the Dance. Stay tuned for Part 5, and as always, the replies and my inbox are wide open if you have questions/want to chat!

Rethinking the scale of Spartan mess and barrack buildings...

The maths is boggling my brain.

So Cartledge reckons that in good times there'd have been approximately 120 kids/young men per bouai; that's just under 1500 young people who presumably would've dined at the boys syssition.

Assuming they honoured the same 'rules' as the men's syssition as per Xenophon, with 15 people max per phiditia, that's 96 groups and 96 tables in the syssition.

This is a lot, sure, but imaginable. The men's syssition is another story.

By the late fifth century, post-Persian Wars and Great Earthquake, there's something like 6000 Spartiates of military age (if the ancient historians are at all reliable on that score), plus gerons. It's possible that after the end of military service they stopped dining at the mess, but I don't think so, because the kings certainly continued to dine there and they were gerons.

So.... let's add another what, 1000? for the lucky ones who survived 40 years of war, earthquakes, poor medical knowledge and whatever else to reach 60+ years of age. That's something in the region of 7000 Spartiates - which means 466 phiditiai, and that's if they're all at max capacity... 466 tables are going to need a very large building, or series of buildings, to accommodate them.

Without the gerons, we might reasonably get that down to less than 400 tables, but that's still a *lot* of tables.

And to take this further, there's the barracks.

It's contested, but at the broadest possible reading, 'boys' from age 7 to 30 were required to live at the barracks, even after marriage and children.

Providing space for something like, let's say, 2000 boys and men to sleep requires a *significant* series of structures. I worked at a barracks for close to ten years, and even with extremely basic dormitory style accommodation, with bunk beds, housing 300 men took multiple multi-storey buildings.

Obviously, they wouldn't have had bunks, and they would've been expected to make do with a lot less personal space than the average soldier expects these days, but the point stands.

These buildings must've been absolutely monumental structures lining the Hyakinthian Way.

What is submarine fiber optic cable?

What is submarine fiber optic cable? Submarine cable are cables wrapped in insulating materials, laid on the seabed, and used for telecommunication transmission. Submarine fiber optic cable are optical cables that connect two or more landing points and are used for optical signal and network signal transmission and connection. Submarine fiber cable are divided into submarine communication cables and submarine power cables. Modern submarine cables all use optical fiber as material to transmit telephone and Internet signals.

Types of Submarine Cable

Based on the application, submarine optical cables can be divided into submarine single armored (SA), submarine double armored (DA), submarine light protection (LWP), submarine lightweight (LW) and submarine light armored (LWA) optical cables. .SA cables are suitable for deployment, burial. Construction and recovery in areas with a water depth of more than 20 meters and at least 1500 meters. .DA cables are suitable for deployment, burial, construction and recovery in areas with a depth of 500 meters. Which providing the protection required within this depth range. And should have a certain weight to prevent tidal waves from moving the submarine cable. .LWP cables are suitable for deployment, construction and recovery in areas with a water depth of more than 1000 meters and at least 8000 meters. But have certain anti-abrasion and anti-fish bite capabilities. .LW cables are suitable for deployment, construction and recovery in areas with a water depth of more than 1000 meters and at least 8000 meters. .LWA cables are suitable for deployment, burial, construction and recovery in areas with a water depth of 20 meters and 1500 meters and an unburied depth of 2000 meters.

How does Submarine Cable Work?

Submarine fiber optic cable consist of two key components. The first part: the optical fiber that carries the data and the conductive material that transmits the electric current. This current is used to feed the optical amplifiers along the submarine cable. In addition, the cable is coated with several layers of protective materials to keep out water and corrosion.

How are Submarine Fiber Optic Cable made?

In the production of submarine optical cables, the optical fibers are first embedded in a jelly-like compound. This protects the cable from damage even when it comes into contact with seawater. The cable is then placed in a steel pipe to prevent the pressure of the water from destroying it. Next, it is wrapped in steel wire with extremely high overall strength. It is then sheathed in a copper tube and finally covered with a protective layer of polyethylene material. Close to the coast of the continental shelf, submarine cable are usually laid with lightweight cables and stronger steel wires. And covered with an asphalt coating to prevent seawater corrosion.

Advantages and Applications of Submarine Fiber Cable

Submarine fiber cables have high transmission capacity and high reliability. High safety, long service life and low maintenance cost. Submarine fiber cable have good anti-extrusion performance. The armor of submarine cables is heavy and provides better tensile strength for the cables. Strong anti-interference ability and good confidentiality performance. Submarine communication cables are mainly used for long-distance communication networks. Usually used in more important occasions such as long-distance islands and cross-sea military facilities. The laying distance of submarine power cables is much shorter than that of communication cables. It is mainly used between land islands, across rivers or harbors. Which connecting drilling platforms from land or connecting drilling platforms to each other. In general, the use of submarine cables to transmit electricity is undoubtedly more expensive than overhead cables of the same length. But it is often more economical to use it than to use small and isolated power stations for regional power generation, and it has more benefits in offshore areas. In countries with many islands and rivers, this type of cable is widely used.

Summary

Submarine cable play a vital role in modern communication networks and have many advantages and broad market prospects.
