What Were Aztec Sacrifices Ritual Actually Like?

March 21, 2023 Leave a Comment

They were religious events first. The Aztecs believed that their gods got their sustenance from human sacrifice; and one of the basic duties of Religion is caring for your gods. The most important of these sacrifices were carried out during the 18 monthly festivals of the Solar Year.

One of these, to give you an example, was the Tlacaxipehualiztli, the Festival of the Flaying of Men, celebrated at spring equinox before the rainy season, one of the most brutal and complex.

What was Hitler’s last day on Earth like?

March 20, 2023 Leave a Comment

In late April 1945, chaos reigned in Berlin. Years of war had turned former superpower Germany into a battleground, and its cities from strongholds into places under siege. The Red Army had completely circled the city, which now called on elderly men, police, and even children to defend it. But though a battle raged on in the streets, the war was already lost. Adolf Hitler’s time was almost up.

What Is A Black Hole

what is a black hole

It’s basically impossible to give a short, succinct description of black holes that is also in any way even vaguely correct. They are so completely different from anything we encounter in daily life that even metaphors fail.

So the best way to think of it, for the layperson just going about life wanting to be essentially educated as to how the universe works, is to imagine a very large, very old star. This star has used up all its fusion “fuel,” if you will, and will soon collapse, exploding spectacularly in an apocalyptic cataclysm of radiation that will, briefly, outshine its whole galaxy.

Why Do People Still Buy Vinyl Records?

March 15, 2023 Leave a Comment

why do people buy vinyl records

Some people claim that vinyl sounds better than digital formats and will shut their ears to any arguments to the contrary.

There is plenty of evidence out there supporting these claims, especially when you compare pre-compression era recordings to modern mastering.

There are also people who will tell you that a digital format such as a cd will never have the same sound quality as vinyl.

Most of the proponents of that argument base their pinions on the earliest examples of said format, conveniently ignoring the fact that quality has increased significantly since the 80s.

What You Should Know About Health Insurance in The US

March 14, 2023

Health insurance in the USA is deliberately tedious to deal with, because it obfuscates how much you are actually paying to the insurance company versus how much they actually pay out.

The policies given out these days are mostly high deductible health plans and work the same way. There are some terms you should understand.

What is ‘Love Bombing’?

March 13, 2023

Flattery used for manipulation.

It’s not just flattery: aka being kind and sweet and excessively loving to an individual, because you like them. And it’s not just being romantic.

People can try to use flattery or big gifts and have it not be received well, but that’s not the same as love-bombing.

Love-bombing is when excessive flattery/kind gestures are used as a tool to make a negative thing seem ‘justified’ or ‘not that big a deal’.

What is the Difference Between Modernism and Postmodernism

March 9, 2023

Modernism broadly refers a set of beliefs that became dominant in the late 19th century and continued through most of the 20th century. These beliefs were generally that logic, science, and reason could help us learn from the mistakes of the past, and using what we learned, come to a deeper understanding of ourselves and of the meaning of human life. There is usually some sort of vibrant optimism in modernism, at least as far as the idea that if we just think hard enough and look deeply enough, we can make things better (at least understand things better).

What Is The Story Behind The Burglar Who Sued The Homeowner?

March 8, 2023 Leave a Comment

Katko v. Briney, was a court case decided by the Iowa Supreme Court, in which two homeowners (Edward and Bertha Briney) were held liable for battery for injuries caused to a trespasser (Marvin Katko) who set off a spring gun set as a mantrap in an abandoned house on the homeowners’ property. The case thereafter received wide attention in legal circles, becoming a staple of tort law casebooks and law school courses.

Bertha Briney inherited an old farmhouse in Mahaska County, Iowa, which the Brineys had left vacant for the last ten years prior to the incident. They had the farmhouse boarded up and placed “No Trespassing” signs around the property. The farmhouse was in poor condition and was subject to frequent burglaries and break-ins.

What Happens When A Country Doesn’t Pay Its Debts?

March 7, 2023 Leave a Comment

Most sovereign governments can, in theory, ignore their debts and default. The repercussions will depend on who lent the government the money.

It is extremely likely that no private investor or enterprise will consider lending more money (in the short term). They might go so far as to cease or curtail lending to private enterprises in that country due to perceived instability and unreliability of the government.

It is also likely the currency will devalue and there will be little incoming investment.

What Was it Like Living in Occupied France During WWII For the Average Person?

March 6, 2023

In France, the Nazis split France into an occupied and unoccupied zone – occupied being the north, unoccupied, or Vichy, being the south. Nazis would have been living in the occupied zone – you would have had to board one for several days at a time – from 1940, and into the unoccupied zones from 1942.
