@ohhanxiety It's 'Hope'.

@McKiki18 @StuartHumphryes The British introduced khaki camouflage during the Boer War, and had already deployed it at the beginning of WWI. The French Army initially had a tradition of their uniforms always being composed of blue, white and red, which became a handicap.

@elonmusk Think of an F-35 pilot as a fox hunter on a horse, riding with hounds (the drones). As hounds in a fox hunt, drones do most of the fighting, but the F-35 provides C2 oversight for complex combat, using a human pilot teamed with AI. Not obsolete, merely retasked.

@elonmusk In the era of machine-intelligent EW, the era of the ‘tethered’ drone (remotely piloted) will soon end. The answer is not fully-autonomous drones (for a number of reasons) but partially-autonomous drones flying into combat with a human handler nearby for when EW gets hard.

@minna_alander In English, please? The website’s dual language mode doesn’t seem to work, and this article is too important for my schoolboy-era German…

@CultureExploreX @culturaltutor It’s worth noting that Champollion’s breakthrough was itself dependent on an insight of the British physicist Thomas Young, who first realised that the cartouche in hieroglyphics contained names of pharaohs and other relevant people. Champollion never gave Young credit for this.

@thinkingwest The obvious omission was the Duke of Marlborough, who along with Frederick the Great were peer- comparable to Napoleon himself. Another obvious one is Oliver Cromwell and his New Model Army.

@culturaltutor English Interregnum (Commonwealth of England + Protectorate) had a national flag before 1660. Predates Union Jack+ Netherlands.

[MachineGenes @MachineGenes]

@culturaltutor I’m afraid this is false. The flags of the Interregnum of England (the English republic) included red, white and blue national flags (denoting England + Scotland). Some variants also included Ireland. These were formal national flags and they ended at the Restoration in 1660.

@mpwarwick Actually HMAS Sydney, like the Australian Imperial Force, did regard itself as ‘British’ in WWII. The modern use of the word ‘British’— being restricted to the United Kingdom— is technically an anachronism when applied to WWI and WWII forces.

@newmodelapathy @CalumDouglas1 Because Churchill’s claim to fame rests on far more than his fondness for turreted fighters. Agreed Chamberlain deserved far more credit than he got re rearmament— a point Churchill made at Chamberlain’s death. But Churchill on the back benches was the gadfly pushing rearmament.

@vcdgf555 Or simply JAUKCUS? Rhymes with caucus…

@jpwarchaeology Bottom line: actually try wielding a foil or sabre on a spiral staircase, either by itself or with a shield. And you'll see for yourself the difference imposed by the spiral. Given that knifework is closely related to rapierwork, this remains true even for tight spirals!

[MachineGenes @MachineGenes]

@jpwarchaeology For example, once projectile weapons (crossbows and then muskets) became widely available and had improved sufficiently, most people might be expected to widen the staircases to enable them to be brought to bear, even if this reduces the effectiveness of the spiral for swordsmen.
