I’m no historical expert and I am just kind of spitballing here but I could see a few situations where that would make sense. Like you have something that is too hot to handle for the time being, maybe you just stole from Spain and now you have to pass through a Spanish blockade? Or maybe people can easily show up to a port with a normal amount of gold/currency but then over a certain amount it either risks being confiscated or drawing attention.
Qwazpoi@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•Early findings from the world’s largest UBI study91·2 years agoThe big shift of people on ubi going from wage work to self employment being one of the biggest points of note from this study is interesting. That’s probably a major reason why most US lawmakers would not want ubi.
Something I find interesting is this study didn’t show an increase in hours worked unlike a couple of other smaller studies, that if I recall correctly focused on giving ubi to people who were not currently working.

Qwazpoi@lemmy.worldto politics @lemmy.world•President Biden Announces Billions to Deliver World-Class High-Speed Rail and Launch New Passenger Rail Corridors Across the Country4·2 years agoAZ desperately needs one going in-between Phoenix and Flagstaff. Not that a route between Phoenix and Tucson isn’t good it’s just that there is so little options for going up north right now.
I have what is basically classified as a moped because I’m cheap and gas is expensive and I can get to Tucson from Phoenix in about an hour and a half longer than driving. I can’t even go north reasonably because the state says the option for crappier vehicles is some overlong scenic route that makes going from Phoenix to Flagstaff be an extra 100+ miles.
Qwazpoi@lemmy.worldto News@lemmy.world•College presidents face tough questions from Congress over antisemitism on campus8·2 years agoThere is zero mention of any antisemitism anywhere in the article. It’s college kids being against what is happening in Gaza. I fail to see how criticism of a military occupation is equal to antisemitism.
The big thing that the article points to in quotes is Intifada which is kind of a call for civil unrest written on a sign. Intifada roots are from Palestinians protesting the occupation after Israel killed 4 civilians in what is many suspect was deliberate retaliation that went on for 5 years (1987-1993).

The medicine existing is great, but something tells me the people who need won’t be getting it.
Qwazpoi@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•9 UN staffers killed in airstrikes in GazaEnglish51·2 years agoIsrael has had a very loose criteria for military targets if you take a look at recent history. I think you bring up a major point.
Considering Netanyahu just said he would attack foreign aid for Palestine. Israel’s actions like the IDF sniping kids in convenience stores, and taking shots at the Japanese medical personnel during the cease fire of operation pillar of defense/cloud, and targeting media offices should call into question, what does Israel consider a military target?
I’m assuming you read it as “She’s 10” and not “She’s a 10”
My coworker’s cousin got a vaccine once and later they dropped their cell phone and cracked the screen. Coincidence, or proof of the evils of vaccination?
Qwazpoi@lemmy.worldto World News@lemmy.world•France passes bill to allow police remotely activate phone camera, microphone, spy on peopleEnglish01·2 years agoWhat’s extra scary is the thought that there will be no stories coming out about how this is abused. Not to say that it won’t be, just that the stories that will come out will be how scary the world is and how the police are the only ones keeping everyone safe. Meanwhile some cop is watching someone sleep, or shower, or anything else in the privacy of their own home.
This is the first I’m hearing that Wolfenstein is not an fps. Why isn’t an fps?
Edit: The 1992 Wolfenstein 3d is definitely a first person shooter. The 1981 Castle Wolfenstein is not made by iD and is not a first person shooter. This article looks almost like it was made by chatgpt or someone putting in very little effort for it to be so off in the first sentence.
Just watch some Civvie 11 videos if you want to hear some history of FPS games and boomer shooters in particular.
Nellis AFB in Fallout New Vegas functions pretty much how you are saying.
