Again, not what was argued. China loving with their own maps doesn't matter when satellites have been mapping them for years.

Running a modern military without gps would suck poo poo, but it's not like maps and compass is an unknown technology, INS doesn't work, or that nobody in the entire us mil haven't thought about what they would do in a gps denied environment.

Weren't we talking about all satellites, not just GPS? Communicating with anything beyond line of sight would suddenly become tricky. GPS isn't even what I was thinking about.

Re: kung fu movies, it's hard to pick a favorite but I'd say it's probably The Five Deadly Venoms, which is an awesome as gently caress movie and launched the "venom mob" to stardom.

Bruce Lee justifiably gets a lot of love but I loving love Gordon Liu. He was great both in funny and serious roles and probably one of the hottest men ever to live.

Dirty Ho is one of my favorites of his, it also has some of the most creative fight scenes ever imo.

It's interesting to see what's been left out by the editors. No Jesus, no Vikings or anything else European between the early Roman Empire and roughly the Hundred Years War, Africa ceases to exist after Cleopatra, nothing about India at all, and the only mention of 20,000 years of Indigenous American history is a generic Mesoamerican who could be either Montezuma or Atahualpa or even someone else completely.

And guess which country is missing from the World War Two volume of a Japanese history manga. :thunk:

I assume the manga are intended to supplement the japanese high school curriculum, which divided modern japanese and world history into separate courses until like last year. now they've started merging them into one history course that covers japan and the world together from the mid-19th century on.
