Ken Burns is in your future
  • Yes, it is more complex than that.

    1. It was that the UK was saying the Ohio valley, which the entire NA part of the war was over was off limits to the colonists.

    However, the UK could not have won the war when they did had those native groups not changed sides to ally with them. Given the dire state of the UK finances, its questionable how much longer they could have fought.

    That land would also not have been needed had the elite of the colonies not taken ridiculous amounts of land for themselves.

    1. At least particularly to Pennsylvania, in the middle of the war; the Iroquois interfered with a treaty that would have seen the colony recognize the land held by the Delaware tribe in the Ohio river valley as Delaware tribe land. They(the Iroquois) did so because they wanted to be the only tribe to make deals with the English and would force the other native groups to work through them. This strategy is also why the Delaware tribe had been relocated by the Iroquois to the Ohio valley in the first place.

  • The answer would probably be "none".

    For example, the factors that led the average member of "sons of liberty" in New York after the initial elite only membership was worried about the elites owning massive tracks of land and driving up the cost of land for them.

  • The seven years war is fantastic and is utterly critical to understanding the US Revolution as well as understanding how the Iroquois pulled a power move on the other first nations that worked, but later led to the current situation with first nations in North America.

    On the revolution: Namely that corruption was so endemic in the colonies that when the UK actually started to do something about it the revolution happened albeit with a lot of pushing from the upper crust of the colonies.

  • Why Simon Pegg thinks Star Trek is forever tainted
  • The clips I've seen of that show look interesting, if a bit more action oriented than I would have expected from the premise, but it looks good.

    Not enough to justify getting another streaming service though.

  • Exclusive: Trump plans no exemption for oil imports under new tariff plan, sources say
  • There is one caveat to the tariffs not working.

    They were fantastically effective against Canada when the US lumber lobby illegally attacked Canadian processed lumber.

    The proceeds of the tariffs were funnelled back into the US companies that paid the import tariff, so the US did not suffer from the massive illegal tariffs applied, and the tariffs were not applied against the raw logs that they did want from Canada.

  • Curious though, what would that be like?

    You'd have: • A much friendlier Klingon Empire • The Romulans might be nicer or might not(depending on if they eventually out the whole plot that dragged them into the war) • The Borg would be Pissed over the transwarp hub loss, and might be worried about a joint Dominion/Federation teamup. • The Ferengi are adapting to be nicer and likely more federation friendly within DS9 • The Cardassians would be rebuilding still, but wouldn't be a match for a militarized Voyager+DS9 Starfleet.

    Problems start with the two best plot villains being either the Borg or the Romulans and both have been done to Death in movies.

    Then that they "modernized" the ship interiors for both SNW and Picard, which would have been a great thing to do with a 100 year jump past TNG/DS9/Voyager.

    Discovery had a neat hook once they jumped into the future and it dealt with a Federation that lost warp, but frankly Battletech, Wh40k and Traveller all called and they want their main space travel hook back.

  • Cartographers worldwide HATE this one island
  • Greenland is still mostly covered with water and that is a known, so the map is wrong.

    Also might be an amusing map if you look for water cover including water in the atmosphere. Only the worst deserts would show up.

  • They almost get it
  • Marketing. Doresy knows how to do it and has a reason to do it, he's a rich brat that needs money and validation.

    Mastodon and Lemmy, really, represent a slice of what the internet used to be. They don't need to be big.

  • Anon needs cooking advice
  • The first recipe I found in a quick search for lentil soup has garlic in it. (And lentils, coriander, cumin, paprika, bay leaves, lemon juice, tomato paste, soup stock, celery, an onion and a carrot.)

    If we're speaking of savoury food, have to say that paprika is another one of those baseline spices that shows up all over the place.

  • Trump names longtime ally Pam Bondi as his new attorney general pick after Matt Gaetz withdraws
  • Oh he's an idiot.

    He has someone smart behind him though, dont assume that his entire team is idiots.

    Just like in 2016, he was able to do rallies, albeit this time barely coherent ones, that were tailored to the demographics of each stop.
    E.g. Rust belt its all about a reliance on the crowd wanting manufacturing jobs back and not understanding tariffs. Whereas in NYC it was anti-immigrant racism spiced through an insult comic because the rich of NYC hate them in "their city."
