Foreign tanks arriving in the USSR in winter were immediately painted white. By the time the new crews finished training, the paint would rub off completely. #OTD in 1944 a request was made to stop doing this and only paint tanks before they go to the front. #tanks #history #WW2 #WWII

Last image of the month for my Patreon! The color palette this month was so small I was a little anxious, but it turned out to be extremely powerful.

Looks like Sound Transit will be purchasing three Brookville streetcars from Portland, to go into service on Tacoma's T Line, in place of the existing Skodas.

Ancient historian here. Yes this is right
The only problems with the theory that southern Italy is poor because of mass migration from Syria in Roman times are that Roman southern Italy was rich, Roman Syria was rich, and there was no mass migration from one to the other. Otherwise, great theory

Just saw someone claim that authors who want to be paid for their work are "class traitors" because we "only let the wealthy" read our books, and I think I need to go into the woods to scream into the night for a bit.

really need Palmer to visit an HEB
it is very strange to me that Americans just cannot do packaged, relatively cheap sandwiches. they're fucking awful here. (handmade sandwiches are often great, but, like, the £2.75 Tesco's 'good but not great' sandwich is a missing piece)
It is a huge problem to me that sandwiches in the US are both delicious and stupidly expensive.
There are days I miss a prawn mayo or tuna sandwich meal deal from Boots or WH Smith.

'Congratulations, you have been conquered. It will take 5 years to set up proper tax collection, but in the meantime we have built an entirely new city with large port facilities and 'modern' (for 1580) production, we're currently setting up a university and the roads will come through next week."

One of the legitimately funny things to me in this game, as an aside, is that because my Netherlands is long on money and short on *people* any time I expand I arrive to the new area like if Infrastructure Week was a terraforming alien species.
Well, my EU5 Netherlands run (starting as Holland) continues to go fairly well. It is 1574 and I just took Lubeck (from Sweden, oddly enough). I've vassalized Cologne and marginalized the Brussels trade center with my own in Amsterdam, so I now control 3 of the top 10 markets. 💰

I don't see how Tesla's Model 3 can survive if Benz can offer an alternative EV this cheap, with this kind of performance, on top of the 15% tariff that it's charged in the US.
Imagine what this model does to Tesla in Europe, where Benz pays no tariffs.
