Of course not. In that time we didn’t have machines with GiBs of RAM.

Can’t you just buy a few computers? One for weather, another for text editor, third for audio, etc?..
- Comment on Arthur Phillip’s diplomatic mission 1 week ago:
After the early meetings, dancing, and musket demonstrations, the Eora avoided the settlement in Sydney Cove for the first year, but they warned and then attacked whenever colonists trespassed on their lands away from the settlement.[73] Part of Phillip’s early plan for peaceful cohabitation had been to persuade some Eora, preferably a family, to come and live in the town with the British so that the colonists could learn about the Eora’s language, beliefs, and customs.[74]
By the end of the first year, as none of the Eora had come to live in the settlement, Phillip decided on a more ruthless strategy, and ordered the capture of some Eora warriors. The man who was captured was Arabanoo, from whom Phillip and his officers started to learn language and customs. Arabanoo died in April 1789 of smallpox, which also ravaged the rest of the Eora population.[75] Phillip again ordered the boats to Manly Cove, where two more warriors were captured, Coleby and Bennelong; Coleby soon escaped, but Bennelong remained.[39][75] Bennelong and Phillip formed a kind of friendship, before he too escaped.[75]
Four months after Bennelong escaped from Sydney, Phillip was invited to a whale feast at Manly. Bennelong greeted him in a friendly and jovial way. Phillip was suddenly surrounded by warriors and speared in the shoulder by a man called Willemering. He ordered his men not to retaliate.[76][77] Phillip, perhaps realising that the spearing was in retaliation for the kidnapping, ordered no actions to be taken over it. Friendly relations were reestablished afterwards, with Bennelong even returning to Sydney with his family.

Is it that different from current Battlefields/CoD/MoH?

I don’t see how it might make things even worse, so… Ok.

- Comment on [Eurogamer] The Incident at Galley House review 3 weeks ago:
I tried. Quit and uninstall in 30 minutes or so. “Tinker with machine, then read a story”. What next? I don’t care, but it looks like the player is supposed to repeat that cycle. Until what? The game failed to explain that moment. So no idea.

Apple crow.
- Comment on Are you cleaning your teeth properly? 1 month ago:
Ohhh… I’m joking. Reason: the OP with a bunch of crazy tools claims that it is a “proper” way. While I suspect the OP is either slightly crazy or just lost “genetic lottery” and really needs more serious approach to keep his teeth healthy.
- Comment on Are you cleaning your teeth properly? 1 month ago:
I use beer and dried fish to clean my teeth. I had a few reasons to visit a dentist during my 40 years of life, but those were minor things. So the result is good.

He did? Some tax-laws mitigation, most probably.
