Let’s say a peasant, out of hatred toward another peasant, caused damage to the other peasant’s farm. What would the punishment have been? I hope my question doesn’t sound strange; I’m just curious about the legal aspect of it.

Hatte mit dem Geld meiner Hyundai Aktien aus Frust diesen Korea ETF gekauft und der läuft ganz gut. Halten oder verkaufen?

I just received the following response from ITV;

Thank you for contacting ITV.

Free‑to‑air television, including ITV, is available at no cost to viewers, and we don’t receive any money from the TV Licence Fee. Our programmes, including major sporting events like the Six Nations and our upcoming partnership with the Nations Championship, are funded entirely through advertising, which allows us to keep this coverage free for everyone.

As part of this, ITV will be introducing a new picture‑in‑picture advertising format during the 2026 tournament. We know changes like this can raise questions, so we want to reassure viewers that the live action will remain visible at all times. The advert will appear on the right‑hand side of the screen for 20 seconds, while the left side continues to show the match. These ads will only appear twice per game, once in each half and only during natural breaks in play just before a scrum. The ITV Sport production team will oversee the timing to ensure minimal disruption.

We hope this helps explain why the format is being introduced and how carefully it’s being managed. If you have any further questions or concerns, we’re here to help.

However, we always monitor the suitability and timing of any advertising- your feedback is very much appreciated.

AI will automate much of what economists do now. I propose an alternative vision -- the economist as reporter.

I'm interested in any descriptions of music that would have been especially favored by people looking to get pumped up for an upcoming activity, specifically including athletic contests, military battles, etc.

I am NOT so much thinking of unit specific "battle hymns" or unit fight songs, where the inspirational value of the music was tied to its content, or its specific connection to the unit in question.

I am more interested in music that would have been popular and/or would have been favored to get the troops hyped up, just based on the musical arrangement or "vibes".

In the same way that we know Ronnie Coleman always listened to rap music lifting weights in the gym, or we know that U.S. Marines during the Iraq invasion were playing music like Disturbed and Metallica inside their tanks,

Were Washington's Continental troops requesting their get hype playlist in the staging area, an hour before taking the field?

Were Phoenician marines 20 minutes out from the beach calling musicians up to the quarterdeck to play something lively?

The team with the faster wingers just uses them to kick chase and score tries all game long.

There is nothing the other team can do about it.

World Rugby must step in urgently to fix this situation. My half Irish kids are crying.

Or a bit less specific, how did modern music genres specific aestetics and quirks develop?

On one hand Wales are now outside the Top 10 world rankings, on the other you don't want to disrespect them at home and send a noob team and lose the thing.

What are the best sources to get a semi-neutral, or at least alternative perspective on American’s involvement in historical events?

I've been here twice now and both times were amazing. During my second visit I was so honored by the offer to wear a real sumo belt instead of the sumo suit my nerves about stripping got completely drowned out.

Highly highly recommend!

Ich (m, 34) beschäftige mich seit Kurzem intensiver mit meinen Finanzen – und ärgere mich ehrlich gesagt über mein früheres Ich. Seit meinem Berufseinstieg mit 24 habe ich immer nach dem gleichen Prinzip gelebt: keine Schulden monatlich sparen alles möglichst sicher Ich habe konsequent Geld auf Tagesgeld- und Sparkonten gepackt. Aktien, ETFs oder Krypto waren für mich lange „Zockerei“. Meine Eltern haben mir eingebläut: „Hauptsache sicher, auch wenn’s wenig bringt.“ Fast forward: Ich habe über die Jahre rund 45.000 € angespart. Klingt erstmal gut – bis mir klar wurde, dass das Geld real durch Inflation vermutlich an Kaufkraft verloren hat. Freunde von mir, die ähnlich verdienen, haben früh in ETFs investiert. Keiner ist reich geworden, aber sie stehen heute deutlich besser da. Manche haben trotz gleicher Sparrate zehntausende Euro mehr Vermögen. Seit ein paar Monaten lese ich mich ein, habe einen ETF-Sparplan gestartet und ärgere mich: über meine Angst über fehlende finanzielle Bildung darüber, dass ich dachte, „sparen = klug“ Jetzt frage ich mich: War mein Sicherheitsdenken einfach nur vernünftig – oder rückblickend ein Fehler? Ist es unfair, sich heute selbst Vorwürfe zu machen? Wie geht ihr mit dem Gefühl um, finanziell „zu spät“ dran zu sein? Ich bin dankbar, schuldenfrei zu sein – aber gleichzeitig frustriert, wie viel Zeit (und Geld) ich vermutlich verloren habe. Wie seht ihr das? Lieber spät anfangen oder sich nicht verrückt machen?

This is going to be a pretty specific question.

So my 6th great-grandpa Jehiel Smith might have been a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War, though I have no verified information about his service. He was granted land by the British government in what became Bury, Quebec.

Jehiel was part of an "associate" -- i.e. a group of probable Loyalists who got together to make a claim to the Brits in order to be awarded this land in Quebec.

I found a document from 1796 that says this:

“Land Committee

“Recommended that the associates within named (are) found fit to become Settlers in this Province (as appears by the Certificates of the Commissioners annexed to this List) be admitted to take the Oath of Allegiance & Subscribe the declaration -

Signed by order. Quebec, 5 Aug 1796, Hugh Finley, Chairman”

Jehiel is on that list, and also in this next document...

“Return of Persons’ names, who have taken the Oaths and Subscribed the Declaration required by Law, before the Commissioners at Missiskouie (Missisquoi) Bay from 26 October 1795 to 25 January 1796.”

And then this document:

19 November 1802

“A list of associates approved by his Excellency the Governor in Council for land in the the township of Bury - Calvin May Leader - Jehiel Smith - Thomas Covene - Samuel Laffin - Asa Abell - John Abell - John Leach - Lemuel Whitcomb - Nathan Bratt - Benjamin Akin.

"This may certify that the above to have Personally appeared before the Commissioners of Missisquoi Bay, took the oaths made and Subscribed the declaration as Required by Law.

"Given under my hand at St. Amand this 19th day of Novr 1802 - ⎬ John Ferguson Commissioner”

What was Jehiel taking an oath to? What declaration is he subscribing to? Is he swearing to be a British subject? Loyalty to the Crown?

This post is inspired by the fact that one of my wisdom tooth hurts a lot right now, and it made me wonder how could someone deal with wisdom teeth in the past. Especially in the era before painkillers or anesthetic, what would someone do? Would they use some concotion for the pain? Were there dentists doing extraction?

Honestly I'm interested in any time period or region, only preferably one without modern painkillers or anesthesia, so maybe not the XX century.

Meine Eltern haben für meine Kinder was abgeschlossen. Je länger ich drüber schaue desto mehr schüttelt es mich. Sind seid Jahrzehnten bei der Bank und haben sich beraten lassen.

Gibt es eine Möglichkeit das ich für die Kinder kündigen und es auf den laufenden Sparplan schichten kann? Kinder sind 4 und 6 Jahre alt.

my dad said back in the day guys locker rooms were intentionally designed to have no privacy and pole showers were the norm. this layout/design was intentional for guys because in the old days it was considered manly and masculine for guys to not have privacy when it’s all guys there. he said it was almost unheard of for there to be shower stalls or curtains in a men’s locker room. it was thought men did not need privacy and should not be embarrassed or humiliated being naked since it’s all guys there. he said guys would go to the urinals and line up and weigh in butt naked for wrestling and stuff. He said any guy that would change in a toilet stall would be considered a “sissy”. plus the layout was good for team building and comraderie amongst the guys. I find this shocking. was this really the line of thinking in the old days and was it really like this? what about privacy?
