Spartacus is off the list for not taking the out and getting his entire people killed. All he had to do was keep going north. That is all he had to do.

Boudica had the same problem. She got so wrapped up in killing every single Roman and their allies that she got bogged down. I'm sure it *felt* great to massacre enemy civilians, but it made her fight into a lost cause.
I've often wondered if female generals would all have this problem, or if the fact she was avenging her daughters caused her to lose focus by being too close to the situation.

I'd just kill all people like this. Sociopath or imbecile isn't an interesting question to me. Both are trouble; they produce the same chaos, one does so on purpose and the other on accident. State of mind is less important that the end result, which is the same.

I don't think it's a female issue at all. Missing the forest for the trees is a common problem, one I think we all have a tendency towards.
I'd compare it a little bit to the people who talk about going out in a blaze of glory against an army of corrupt feds. Sounds cathartic, but in the grand scheme of things you've maybe knocked out a pawn or two, at much higher cost to yourself. You have to think about what your victory conditions are before you act.

Possibly because of training and education, but it's a pretty unusual thing for generals to get bogged down in. Now the looting and celebrating, that can slow an army down and be hard to manage

I've heard it expounded before. Might've been neanderthals, which are speculated to have gone extinct from the consequences of cannibalism (or in some theories pursued to extinction by homo sapiens).

Thank you very much for the kind letter! Though it has been some time since I cut your late wife's hair, I thought you should know something about our relationship. And yes, you, your departed wife, and I have a relationship.
While I'm cutting hair, I am afforded the opportunity to intoxicate my customer's scalp with a deadly toxin that is passed through tactile contact. Simply put, I've poisoned your hand that stroked through her neatly-shorn locks.
Breathe deeply, and enjoy your immediate surroundings. You're not the first.
Love,

Carlo Cipolla wrote up a pamphlet on this, The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
“All human beings are included in four fundamental categories: the naive, the intelligent, the evil and the stupid […] The intelligent person knows that he’s intelligent. The evil one is aware to be evil. The naive is painfully imbued with the sense of his own candor. Unlike all these characters, the stupid doesn’t know to be stupid. This contributes to give greater strength, incidence and effectiveness to his devastating action. The stupid is not inhibited by self-consciousness”,

In the early days of human evolution, there were a number of bidpedal, modestly intelligent primates of assorted species, living in the same places, the Australopithecines and the like ...
They almost certainly didn't all get along!
In the end there were only modern humans who only had to compete with each other!

Seems like you've misunderstood what objective morality means. It means moral beliefs that are not hinged on personal preference. Non-artificial.
That doesn't imply the moral beliefs say the proper response in all situations is violence. They can, but they don't have to and often don't.
There are Christian parables about dealing with sin, it doesn't involve killing everybody who does wrong. There are also Christian parables about dealing with those who have different beliefs.

Stay out of bar rooms. Because you'll be taught a different kind of objective morality. On the plus side, whatever you have to say as a counter-point they'll just be able to ignore. Mostly because it won't be very articulate. Mushy, mostly.

When I wasn't doing that, I was either sleeping or transporting crypto and control orders for same. Saw a shit ton of Europe under arms (w/ammo, which seems to be out of norm for most during the cold war) so was never tempted to travel on the rare day off when Smash's schedule of duty aligned with mine.

Prokhorovka has a museum and some other battle-related sites that would be worth a look.
Also, it's not far from Ekaterinburg where the Romanovs were murdered. I'd like to see the church that was built on the site of the Ipatiev House.

This is why I believe we can live together with other cultures, just need to get rid of (ignore) race baiting assholes, and reach out to our neighbors. Just try to assimilate, help, and get along. That's really all any of us need to step back, take a deep breath, and say 'hmmm, dude here may have a point. We should discuss this shit over a cup of wine/beer/tea/coffee/40.'

I'm taking so many prescription meds, including blood thinners, that I can't give blood even if I wanted to. And I used to want to and did; I've donated a gallon plus; I once had the little gallon pin they gave me but that little sucker is Gaia knows where now.
In college, when they had a blood drive, we took it as an opportunity for a cheap drunk. First, we'd bet on whose bag dropped first. Then we went out and had one or two beers because 'we were a pint low'. When the nurse heard we were going to do that, she was not amused. But college and a cheap drunk.

People with too much iron in their blood need to get some drained. Don't suppose they're allowed to donate it though. I'd read about that and then met a guy at the chemo place, when there for John(late, first) Husband's treatment, who was getting his blood taken for that reason.

With no conductive cooling, only radiation, that's not necessarily the case. Without temperature controls, the ISS would be +250F on the sunny side and -250F on the shady side, according to the first NASA link DDG found on the subject.

===============
Regular bloodwork prescribed by your doctor provides information about the iron in your blood ... And, yes, body organs can be damaged when there's too much iron in your system ... People are allowed to donate blood every 56 days but, if that's not often enough to keep the iron count at a safe level, it can be managed through chelation ... FYI, when people donate blood, the Red Cross personnel will tell you what your hemaglobin count is on that particular day ... People who donate regularly, therefore, are able to self-diagnose.

Interest rate. 20.5%. Twenty point five fuckin percent.
And a cash advance? 30.4%. My credit score is about 15 points under the maximum. Who knows how badly they're hosing some poor bastard with a 480.

In vacuum, cooling is a big problem. The only way to shed heat is by radiation, there is no conduction or convection going on.
This was a problem for astronauts in space suits, especially for EVAs, like Apollo astronauts walking on the Moon. Without some cooling system, they would've burned up inside in short order.
They solved with an ingenious "sublimator". They wore a liquid cooling garment on the inside, which circulated water to pull heat from the body. That was run through a "sublimator plate", which was a porous plate that allowed some water to flow to the outside. It would then evaporate in vacuum quickly, pulling heat out. Temp would get low enough to freeze, making an ice layer on the outside of the plate. The ice would then sublimate.
It was ingenious design that was self-regulating.
