Yes. The type of armor used depended on the user's economic situation.
Full plate was the most expensive one, thus anyone using it was wealthy.

But you need a Duke's daughter or a princess' hand in marriage to be a true Manhwa. She will marry one of the sons, who will it be?

Since we know nothing about the perpetrator we can assume that he's from a protected class. In other words, he's not Christian.

Hannibal's strategy was winning until the senate named Fabius to lead the legions.
So he did what most modern generals do when fighting an overwhelming force: hit the logistics.
All those recently "freed" cities that were enthusiastically supporting him, became rabid Roman allies the moment he left and Fabio entered the town with his legions.
But the killing blow was the destruction of his reserves in Hispania along with the death of his brother.

The double jeopardy doesn't apoly because trial 1 is invalidated.
As for the plea deal, I doubt her lawyer will take one. As far as he's concerned he almost won. The probabilities of getting a second hung jury are not bad.
Depends on the DA.

Well, Elon doesn't directly owns the Starlink satellite constellation. He owns the company that owns them.

Here's the issue: every great code project starts with garbage and gets refined into gold as the project progresses and you get to intimately know the project and the goals. But those first lines of code are just pure unadulterated garbage and you know it. You look at them and your hand itches to fix them. A pro won't. He will just put a comment basically saying "don't" and keep working on advancing the project. A novice will try, lose a lot of time and to finally end with a mess that is worse. The best ones just revert everything, learns a lesson and moves on.
This is the source of so many "code improvements" that break everything.

Well, it looks nicer than my patch. Mine will also involve lots of rope, just in case. 😆

I've been working with Claude to deal with complex, time consuming algorithms. Stuff that goes beyond my ability to code and requires knowledge in other fields (yes, this where algebra, geometry and trigonometry have a huge impact in your life).
But I don't let Claude fly solo, because if something brokes it is never Claude's fault.
As proof I submit Microsoft 's Windows 11. The latests updates have been one FUBAR after another (I like that acronym, it is so descriptive of the situation) because M$ allowed whatever AI agent they use to code unsupervised.
People believe in the "Intelligence" part of AI, when they should be focusing in the "Artificial" one. Remember this old adage: Garbage In, garbage out. And frankly most of the stuff these AI agents have been fed is garbage.
After all AI is still drawing three armed humans.

Even more importantly, that split was an important part of Julius Caesar schooling.

What Bukele did was destroy a 13 years old NGO scam.
Like all NGOs dedicated to solve social issues, these ones did nothing but spend $0.01 on cosmetic "solutions" while the rest is used on administrative expenses.
Of course they don't want to fix the issue.

Chinese redheads are basically nonexistent. On the other hand there are plenty of GRU/KGB redheads.

She wasn't left behind for being a woman. She was left behind because she was the last heir of Theoden's bloodline should Eomer and Theoden die in battle, so she would become Queen of the Rohirrim.
