Raskolnikov38 posted:anyone here with history graduate school experience? if I want to get a MA as a stepping stone to a doctorate how important is the "prestigious" of the MA program vis a vis applying to phd programs later It matters to itself. If you want to go to a prestigious doctoral program it helps to have the same prestigious masters. With air quotes around both uses of prestigious.

Suplex Liberace posted:Hello I have a request I need everyone's favorite/good history books. Topic is not super important I just need the biggest list possible to pull from. Killing for Coal A Libertarian Walks Into a Bear A Nation Under Our Feet These two I wouldn't say are good, but they're like hit pieces on the long dead for the most petty reasons and are in that way hilarious. American Sphinx is an attack on Jefferson by a guy who studied Adams and is jealous Jefferson gets all the love. The French Renaissance Court (Robert Knecht) is how about the great and amazing and good and cool monarchy Francis I created and how Henry III destroyed it and was gay.

oscarthewilde posted:it's even more deranged - more quintessentially British - cause these hugely impressive feats of military engineering and logistics were complete failures. only one mission actually did some actual damage, and even that was repaired by the argentinians within 24 hours. it's propaganda, plain and simple, one last hurrah for blitz spirit and British exceptionalism. 10 tankers, a SAR plane that couldn't make it, two bombers, one with the window rolled down a crack. What do you call this act? The Penguin Protectors of the British Empire

Chamale posted:"Why did the chicken cross the road?" The chicken understands what you do not: That its entire existence is predicated on the continuation of the joke. It's life, much like yours, is part of a farce. A cosmic jape. Except the chicken's is much more literal to us since we, in the span of seven words, have created it's entire universe. There is only one path for the chicken, and you have already deterministically set it upon this path by your use of the past tense, 'did'. The events of the chicken's not only are predetermined but have already occurred. The completion of the joke is the death of the chicken, even had it survived its crossing the joke would end and so would its existence. Both routes to a single point the chicken, in kind, responds in a superposition of answers. Both of it's singular triumph and of the futility of it all. To get to the other side, sir, I think would like the coleslaw. HootTheOwl has issued a correction as of 13:33 on Sep 23, 2022 |

Obviously the bats were real, and kept on ice and recovered by the Chineese so that they could spread covid later. Operation Warp Speed was able to create a vaccine so fast because they already had it in order to protect are troops if the bats spread too far. *adds another piece of string to the Unified Conspiracy Theory board* "Yes, it's all coming together"
