No. They are usually superconducting magnets in persistent mode:

Just for your information, the machine, meaning the magnet, is ALWAYS on.

Great read thank you very much!

I would summarize that it is true that line formations were vital and usually the starting point, but on the other hand the main strategic goal was to break the line of the opponent so at some point the formations would break and it would become more chaotic, but not as extreme as multiple 1 vs 1 and rather splitting the other army in half or more pieces.

Is it true though? In the above example, the attackers could just concentrate their attack on one side forcing the defenders to support there and thus weaking the line elsewhere which then can be attacked in return. So in reality I think it is really difficult to hold such a formation.

Wasn’t that the great advantage of the Romans that they trained this kind of stuff a lot and thus were actually able to more or less hold these formations.

But I would guess most battles ended up looking more or less like the lower example.

You have to keep in mind no one had this kind of bird view and no one could directly tell every soldier what to do while at the battlefield. So every soldier in the end is just fighting for their own survival eventually resulting in chaos.

Does he really don’t know the difference between cut and copy?

It’s a bit like asking me what’s my favourite marvel superhero. It’s not that I don’t like them or don’t think they are important for some people. It’s just not relevant for me.

Maybe humans bad?

Why would a child be operating it?

Yeah actually every grocery chain in Germany has its own noname products which are pretty good quality.

SAD!

Veritasium hosts videos there now

I hope more and more people learn that spotify can also be used to host videos.

Yeah, I would say it’s a unhealthy abusive relationship.

But if you do all this self employed its suddenly fine?

What about gokus relationship with his wife?

And be always afraid of being killed by a tiger or other predators. Constantly worrying about not finding enough food. Having insects crawl all over and inside you while sleeping or a snake choking you to death.

Yeah I call bullshit. What’s stopping you from living your dream if it’s that great?

Most of the people worked 24/7 on their farm and had to give most of their crops to their feudal lord from which they were completely dependend for land and protection against bandits. And later people worked 7 days a week 10-12 hours in factories.

And alone the medical development clearly is a great improvement in happiness. Just imagine that newborns surviving until infancy was the exception rather than the norm. And women died regularly during childbirth. Tooth problems were causing tremendous chronic pain and often lead to death. Only cancer was a lesser problem because people simply didn’t live long enough for it to be very prevalent.

I am not saying things could be better now. But we don’t have to romanticize the past. For me it is rather motivating to see how far we have come already and that we also can overcome the challenges of our time.

Still better than what most of the people before us lived through. It’s just that our parents were especially lucky with the time period they lived in.
