They were excellent architects and builders
And good at producing solid goods
But not great at innovation
They just piggybacked off the Greeks
There is good reason though for this
They didn't have incentive
The top members of society owned masses of slaves, particularly cities used slave labor on farms to provide food for them
Innovation would make them lose those assets
So the rich wouldn't put the money into that
They actually knew about steam engines
Didn't use them cause they had slaves instead
lel
talk about lack of
foresight
Would steam engines even be possible to produce on such a scale that they could compete with slave labor at the time, though?
Idk. Probably for boats yeah
Like warboats. They were already short on people
@Quarantine_Zone yeah but the Aeolipile was treated as just a novelty
It didn't really have a practical use
Although there was a Spaniard who used the aeolipile to create a sidewheel steam engine design for ship propulsion
Yeah, I'm not sure how well known the engine was, but if they were interested in innovation, no doubt they would have looked more into such ideas. We can tell they weren't that interested in general based on their lack of large technological improvements over the course of their history, when compared to Greece.
^me tomorrow on a date with a prot girl
I need to get back into the dating game as well
I need to start dating
Been devoting myself too much to work and LC. Social life is completely non-existent at this point.
Sadly for me I dont know where art hoes graze.
I found her on Badoo, and said "hey, you don't have dead fish eyes" and apparently she found that funny
Badoo is not free tho right?
You need to cough up to message girls
What is Badoo?
I haven't managed to find out the pattern, but you can message some of them for free, and you can also activate a 3 day premium if you try to delet your account but revoke
I've thought about using some dating apps, but am damn reluctant to use them
I've been thinking about trying bumble app
That could work too, though Tinder is crap. It has bad reputation among decent girls so if they try online dating they go for alternatives.
I don't want Tinder though. Too many hookers
Bumble is where the woman messages first iirc
I've never tried that so can't say anything about it
My situation is complicated by the fact that I want to date only Rooskies, and they're about 23% of the general population. And finding a Rooskie art hoe is like a niche within a niche
But then why don't you try it in Russia?
I know one from academy of arts but she has a bf
Who's like 6'4
