    They did.

    Only during the first year or two that it was built. During that time it could be flooded to a depth of about 5 feet. During its first year a naval battle was staged in it using scaled down flat bottomed boats.  Once the hypogeum was built under it flooding it was no longer possible.

  2. The Butlerian Jihad destroyed the thinking machines on all of the human planets except Corrin. The Battle of Corrin was the battle to destroy the artificial overmind that had previously controlled all of the thinking machines.  I think it is worth reading the prequel novels co-written by Hebert's son because I believe that their plots followed the outlines of the history of the Dune universe made by Frank Hebert.

    I'm not sure this is true, and it seems unclear to me.

    In the books, the Battle of Corrin, which is what leads to the establishment of house Corrino and the imperium, has nothing to do with the Butlerian Jihad (the war with the thinking machines). In fact, it all happens in the WAKE of the Jihad, decades later, and it's a political conflict. It seems that, in the show, they've made the Battle of Corrin be the ultimate battle against the machines that ends the Jihad.

    I could be wrong, but I believe the Sardaukar would have already existed either way, not necessarily as the empire's standing army, but definitely as an existing military force.

    The Sardaukar evolved from the prisoners dumped on Salusa Secundus after the Emperor began using it as a prison planet

    The emperor is such a pussy which pains me because I really like Mark Strong.

    That’s because he’s pre sardaukar and Salusa Secundus hasn’t been turned into a wasteland yet

    Well here's a breakdown done by some fine ag on this series. No mention of what the record was since the discovery of copium.

    You will run into a lot of sips that will declare their overall domination over the Aggies by quoting stuff like, "the Aggies would need to win the next 40 straight years in a row to finally catch up to the mighty Longhorns" and crap like that.

    So...just a quick reminder that we ARE competitive with the whorns, and that they are just in denial.

    Texas A&M vs. Texas Record:
    All time: 37-76-5
    First 80 games: 18-57-5
    Since WW 2 (1946): 22-43-1
    Since women were admitted into A&M (1964): 20-28
    Since we landed on the Moon (1969): 19-24
    Since scholarship limitations (1973): 19-20
    Since Microsoft was Funded (1975): 19-18
    Since Darrel K Royal's last game (1976): 18-18
    Since ESPN first aired (1979): 17-16
    Since cell phones exceed 1M users (1984): 15-13
    Last two meetings: 1-1

     

     

    I always laugh when some dumbass aggy starts talking about since scholarship limitations because the old SWC implemented their scholarship limitations in direct response to aggy recruiting practices

    TCH is in Houston.  Houston votes blue.  It's why he doesn't care if a major storms hits the region as well.  

    They’re already talking about getting rid of the federal flood insurance program.  Who cares if all those blue voters wash away

    I'm sorry, but you are wrong. Sit there in your wrongness and contemplate how wrong you are. 

    The organic shit tastes better because it is better. It tastes like peanuts because it has one ingredient- peanuts. No added salt, sugar, or other crap. No hydrogenated oils or fats. Its literally one of the few packaged foods that doesn't have added sugar. 

    Note that it doesn't have to be organic to fulfill those requirements, but it is generally the organic that only has the one ingredient. One of the few examples where the organic variety does actually taste better. 

    Yes, it separates, and is a pain. Just store it upside down. Mixing is much easier when you open it. 

     

    Also, you pb&j assholes need to expand your horizons and move up to pb&banana. 

     

     

    I bought some of the organic, peanuts only, peanut butter to make peanut butter, and banana cupcakes for Sebastian's 3rd birthday party.  I found that I like that stuff much better than the processed shit, plus I can share it with the dogs
