jayson tatum is the loml but omg i hate the celtics so much

[realtapiocafan]

my football team doesn't know ball 💔

'mavs in five' 'mavs in six' 'mavs in seven' mouth dropped in OUTRAGE. not ONE of them said celtics in five, what the FUCK, respect my bball team 😭

s/o kris jenkins, marco wilson, jordan battle, mike hilton, tre mosley, and myles murphy for believing!

mike hilton btw! did not know he was from georgia! predicted fmvp!

tre mosley (i did have to dive into the training camp roster to figure out who was 86) 'boston in six if porzingis plays, boston in seven if he don't' see! he knows ball!

and myles murphy! from the same town jaylen was born in!

WARNING: ANTI-MAVS/KYRIE CONTENT BELOW

and fuckkkk outta here with that kyrie/luka clutch gene and 'best offensive backcourt in history' or whatever. clearly none of that shit matters when luka fouls out or is too out of breath bc he's not in the same condition that the jays are in (the guy's a great offensive player, but his defense...), and kyrie sees ghosts whenever he sets foot in TD garden.

i will NEVER understand why so many athletes like kyrie. like bball wise, the guy practically threw his rookies under the bus in 18! he performed so badly during a playoff series (4-18 from the field in one game wtf) that there was still conspiracy theories that he threw it on purpose just so he could go to the nets! fine, people miss shots, but in what world is a 6’2 guard ever going to effectively guard Giannis Antetokounmpo? No world! Not a snowball's chance in hell! (You ever want to piss off a Celtics fan, just mention the 2019 Bucks series) he said to a whole stadium that he was going to stay -and then the sage. the middle finger. the stomp. 1-15 vs the celtics since the stomp - what were you expecting when you stomped on a mascot literally named LUCKY.

and also like. morally. i feel like kyrie has gotten into so many scandals that people are desensitized (flat earth being the prime example) or were a few years ago and people have forgotten, but anti-Seminism is absolutely deplorable and there's no excuse for it. and not getting a vaccine is a personal choice, but he was literally promoting the idea that vaccines contain microchips? c’mon. that is straight-up misinformation.

finally, EXCUSE ME CAM 'the celtics always make it to the end and never finish' WE HAVE WENT TO THE FINALS ONE(1) TIME BEFORE THIS. WHAT DO YOUUUU MEAN 'nEvEr FiNiSH'?

2017-18 we got to the ecf riding on rookie jt's shoulders (also smh terry shot us out of that game 7). 18-19 we were a second round exit 😔. i'll always side eye kyrie for the bucks series. 19-20 the raptors series gassed us badly and it's not like they choked? the heat were the #1 seed? 20-21 first-round exit bc jaylen hurt and jayson had to drop fifty just to win a game against the superteam nets. 21-22 was the first finals year and like, jayson and jaylen had to basically go 100 from january bc we were at .500 for the first half of the season. our path was sooo much harder than the warriors. like the whole 24 playoff run, it was all the celtics weren't 'battle-tested' like we didn't have to go through the kd-kyrie nets, giannis and the bucks, and the heat with their Devil Magic in 2022. you can't just say they 'never finish' without the CONTEXT (sorry i get fired up about this). and ok fine, 22-23 we choked (had a first-year hc for all its worth)

Rant below:

Dumbass on YT who has a record shitting on the RWBY has decided to do a vid where he says the community is responsible for the delay of greenlighting; because y'know people don't support AU's (and I doubt he means the good ones, instead likely thinking of "Ruining RWBY" type that are an insult to the show) or don't support sexualizing of characters or straight-washing characters. I guess everyone should continue to blindly support those people cause "fandom", instead of going "nooooooope".

Also while giving Miles credit for his voice work, making sure to put in a backhand to everyone else likely the female VA's; because ofc a piece of shit incel/neckbeard is going to do that. Which shouldn't be shocking cause iirc this neckbeard asshole has already taken shots at Barb and Arryn in the past.

The moron also thinks that rich vs. poor is a wrong concept probably in general but he's talking about the Atlas arc; y'know where it was repeatedly shown that such divide existed. But as usual this crowd doesn't care about that, just whatever bullshit they think matters or doesn't. And this jackass gives off the exact vibes one would think of from someone that takes issue with a commentary about poor vs. rich as a concept. Also directly mentioning Celtic thus confirming that the likely AU was "Ruining RWBY"-'s bullshit.

Keep in mind Ruining RWBY did:

faunus heat cycles

putting in shipping push for Velvet/Cardin

inserted in fanservice sauna scenes

brought back Roman in an asspull fashion and put him with Ozpin, even though there's not a shred of commonality between them

had Ruby blush towards Roman

Blake join what amounts to a police squad against other faunus (like people want to take issue with the show proper for its WF arc, this is an actual OOF on that front)

side-lined the main female characters to boost up male characters

fucking tries to redeem and boost up Cardin aka Mr. White Supremacist Douchebag

Like nah, fuck that shit. I'll keep shitting on that and any other disgusting ass fan-work that does certain things till the cows come home. I won't support a fan artist that makes wlw art, yet doesn't believe in irl same-sex rights; I won't support a racist, homophobic, sexist, and overall disgusting piece of shit like Celtic; or anyone else for the sake of "being a good fan" and "part of the community". Community isn't an accepting all thing and instead good ones root out the bad.

Anyway point is if you do searches on YT, ignore the one with Anime in the channel name.

[theseventhoffrostfall]

relative to your javelin/plumbata post, Tod Todeschi or some other Pollack last name does do a lot of experimental archaeology type videos where he tests stuff like that. Results vary but I respect he will actually try stuff out.

But I am autistically into old smelting and bronze/iron age stuff as well and I think there's a lot of potential on how many things we take for granted now as commonplace used to be extremely limited. Certain foundries and smelters, even if privately owned, would be borderline national secrets/treasures because they could consistently produce good quality metals or knew HOW to build them right. On par with monks sneaking silkworms out of china. We have accounts of Vikings making it as far as Afghanistan specifically to find burial mounds for Indo Persian wootz blades.

The Hittites were pretty good at early Ironworking for example and well-made bronze is probably better than iron except bronze is an alloy and iron can be refined much easier. I know the French weirdly kept refining brass and ARCO brass/other types in the 19th century and while not the same strength as steel the way the US and Brits innovated, French Brass was stronger than anyone else's.

Fuck I mean IIRC the Chinese spent centuries in West/Central asia like the Stans trying to learn how to breed better warhorses because old horses used to be a lot smaller and things like chariots were how you utilized horses in war instead of individually.

There's so much cool shit you can do just around the idea of foundries and smelting and it's not even been 200 years since we really figured out steel and even the 1990s saw a huge increase along with aluminum technology. Even the first Conan movie kinda touched on this with how rare materials were relatively speaking. I'd love to see a period or fantasy related story that deals with a lot of intrigue and logistical concerns like that. A warlord fighting a grueling campaign that makes no sense tactically but it's because he wants to capture a series of foundries that utilize some mythical pass high in the mountains for their bellows, or specifically daming part of a river to create a faster pressure current for a downward falling water wheel for the actual forging.

Prior to modern technologies, making steel was a literal pain in the ass and insanely wasteful. Closest analogy I can think of is raising an entire cow from birth, killing it, and only taking 1 cut of meat from the carcass and leaving the rest. You didnt "make" steel, you made this disgusting lump of iron and carbon as homogeneous as you could and prayed to God that at the center was a nice good hunk of steel you could then forge into an ingot.

Also FWIW it's less that the javelins were designed to break and bend IMO and simply that its a possibility especially in an actual battle. Oakeshott talks about Celtic leaf bladed swords and the front ranks retiring to the rear to bend kinks out of them. I'd say it's less about iron vs steel and more about heat treat and fucking NO ONE figured out actual mathematical heat treat shit until very recently. Toledo made swords (also known as a specific pattern of blade kind of like a thrusting claymore) are famous for having very rigid blades at their base but very flexible and springy at the tips. In the era where heat treat was more like a cooking recipe or an AdMech ritual than hard scientific fact, being able to CONSISTENTLY produce good heat treated blades was a huge sign of quality. Sorry for the autism but I love metallurgical history.

Nah, you're good, big dog. Most of the concepts are familiar to me, but they're good for bringing to the general discussion table without, you know, me having to type all of that out.

But yeah, the main crux of my argument is based on a few things you mentioned. You, as far as I understand it, can't just go off and harden the average stuff you'd have gotten out of a mine in the Roman empire, even after being smelted. You need to tap the famous and rare(esque) deposits of The Good Shit and buy ingots and such from them. Like you said, on a gross scale they can tell by this point how the carbon-iron interaction is working, but they're much less familiar with, like, ingots from bumfuckulum are better than ingots from frottingshire because of the specific nickel and magnesium content or whatever.

And like you mentioned, being able to consistently produce heat-treated steel is a sign of quality, which means your smiths (Roman ordnance smithies-- insofar as any existed-- local dudes who live near the garrison, dude who follows around the army with his dinky forge setup) can't be average smiths, you can only hire big-dick smiths to do their fanciest work, which is pretty stupid to do for an item that, speaking from a soldier's perspective, is gonna handled roughly, barely maintained, and haphazardly reclaimed. Plus it's a long, narrow spike of metal in an army that used shortswords and small-segmented, scale and mail armor. This is like 1500 years before we're good enough at metallurgy to be making rapiers and suchlike, your javelins have a short service life anyway. Just doesn't make sense to go whole-ass on quality from a logistics point of view. It's just that "they were meant to bend in an enemy's shield" makes them sound cool and clever and you cool and clever for knowing that, whereas "they did it to save money and production time" just sounds boring and lame to Joe Average.

On a related topic to something you mentioned, it seems like the understanding is spreading that early iron was of moderate-at-best advantage against good quality bronze work, and lacks several very real advantages that bronze has. It just so happens that bronze leaves you utterly dependent on trade networks to source at least one of those high-demand metals that generally aren't found together, while iron you "just" source and smelt and work. I've seen more and more people suggesting what immediately occurred to me when I read this, which was that not being reliant on trade networks meant you could be a lot more aggressive with relative impunity, and this explains a lot of infamous Iron-age belligerence more than just "they were powerful and vengeful and had Super Swords"

1st March

St David’s Day

Source: Welsh Saints from Welsh Churches by Martin Crampin/ Mae Ffydd Yn Cyrif website

Today is St David’s Day. The patron saint of Wales, David died on 1st March 589. He was founder and Abbot of Glyn Rhosyn monastery in Dyfed (now the town of St Davids). The construction of David’s monastic seat was not trouble free and his builders were assailed by a local pagan known as Boia who wanted to prevent the work going ahead. David, who was a great preacher and proselytiser, spoke to Boia and converted him to Christianity on the spot. Although Boia’s wife then sent her handmaidens naked to distract David’s labourers, such was the saint’s oratorical power, not a man wavered and the monastery was completed.

David’s fame spread when he began miraculously to make wells appear, but his patron sainthood really owes itself to his spirit appearing to King Cadwallon of Gwynedd on the eve of the Battle of Hatfield Moors in South Yorkshire against King Edwin of Northumbria. He advised the Britons to place leeks in their helmets, the better to distinguish themselves from their English foes in the heat of battle. This they did and triumphed on the field. Although this visitation confirmed David as the patron saint of Wales and the leek as its national vegetable, Cadwallon himself did not consider himself Welsh (an English term for “foreigner”): as far as he was concerned, he was leading a Celtic attempt to evict the invading Angles from northern Britain, and he nearly succeeded. Nonetheless, from the British victory at Hatfield, it became traditional for the Welsh to wear leeks on St David’s Day, although these days a discreet daffodil lapel pin is more likely to be seen.

In Lanark, an obscure, but possibly quite ancient, mock battle takes place at the local church, named Whuppity Stourie. Two sets of lads, representing New and Old Lanark, run three times sunwise round the church before engaging in combat, traditionally using their caps as weapons, at Wellgate Head. The fight now takes place with paper maces, after the two gangs had dangerously substituted their caps for stones. With its running around a sacred building followed by a pummelling contest, Whuppity Stourie may have a winter vs spring ritual origin, with the forces of winter darkness being beaten back, but ultimately it may merely have been a way of controlling youthful gang violence in the town.
