Why the N-word is a spook, and how it's just a cold war myth designed to uphold the status quo and deter those who don't get it from threatening the order.

Yes but the illusion of movement is not caused by the arrows (cover them & repeat to convince yourself). It's because the blinking is not completely synchronous, lines change colour on one side first & the change of colour moving is what gives the impression of whole cube moving.

I'll go out and disagree on this: Romans lacked one crucial ingredient
Efficient implementation of steam power which made industrial revolution possible relies on understanding of thermodynamics and concepts like latent heat and Boyle's law.
Romans lacked the maths to grasp it.
Some say it’s a mere myth but I think Rome was really close to an Industrial Revolution when it fell

Incarceration is not punitive justice, its purpose is banishment of problematic individuals. The focus is not on punishing the criminal, but on benefitting the community. Actual punitive justice would be torture, maiming, etc., especially if dealt by an-eye-for-an-eye principle.
yes rehabilitation should be a popular position because it actually works unlike punitive justice

Malaria (as "marsh fever") was also documented in England; even throughout the Little Ice Age – but seemingly drying of the marshes slowed down transmission enough for the disease to phase out. Similar is probably true for large parts of northern Europe after river regulation

even the seemingly simple concepts like air pressure were beyond understanding of the ancients: atmospheric pressure was only demonstrated in 1654 with the Magdeburg hemispheres experiment - horses can't pull apart two metallic hemispheres after air was pumped out

Returnees brought malaria back to northern Europe where many already considered malaria a thing left behind with progress; there were large outbreaks in Emden; in Arkhangelsk (!); as it turns out well heated housing actually means mosquitoes can winter easier

In Yugoslavia as a whole, there were 800k-1200k infections yearly (~10% population), with most concentrated in Macedonia where infection rates were up to 100% in some villages – it is noted that ~25% of men were unfit for military service because of chronic childhood malaria

We now take Europe without malaria almost for granted; and if not, the spread of mosquitoes is usually taken as a new introduction to Europe by "climate change" – because "it's a tropical disease duh, such things don't happen in Europe normally".

but the entire concept of a piston only starts making sense once you grasp it's not just air in movement you have to make do your work for you - it's the air pressure, energy, a static concept, that you want to release in such a way that as much as possible is useful work

Pistons really are a huge improvement because
1) you're not losing your steam into the environment uncontrollably
2) in thermodynamics, generally, the faster you make your transition between initial and final state, the more irreversible it is - slow it down & improve efficiency

Total numbers of infected in Macedonia was in 250k-300k yearly

Situation was similar for Kosovo, Montenegro, Sandžak regions ("Zetska banovina") – infection rates were up to 80% around Skadar lake, and the region in general recorded ~60-70% as "malaria tropica" (quotidian malaria – with daily paroxysms, the worst type)

Why was DDT not that successful elsewhere?
In Europe, DDT use was applied after ~20 years of coordinated efforts
Many other countries used DDT as a Hail Mary & discovered resistance buildup after 10 years, as well as not taking effort to plan, simply using it indiscriminately

Here I should mention that, internationally, those efforts were often suported by the Rockefeller Foundation; they were also involved in Yugoslavia, but mostly just administratively, collecting information for the League of Nations which had a malaria task group since 1925

Serbia and Bosnia also showed endemic malaria but infection rates stayed below 10%. Beograd specifically had malaria rate of 20% in 1924, mostly working class, here water regulation helped slowly decrease malaria rates.
1
2
147
Situation was slightly better in Dalmatia (already recorded as affected before WW1). In 1921 the infection rates were 25%. Epicenters were river (especially Neretva) and karst floodplains but also hinterlands without running water that relied on rainwater collection.

Yugoslavia's plan of malaria management, based on a 1931 law, split the country in 3 zones: healthy, anophelic (presence of anopheles mosquitoes, no endemic malaria) and malaric, and involved quinine prophylaxis & draining the swamps
1

143
While all those efforts (& similar also in Italy, where swamp draining took shape in large scale projects, entire cities like Latina constructed on drained marshes) greatly lowered malaria infection rates, the gamechanger came after WW2: the DDT

In addition, DDT has been regulated since the 70s due to environmental reasons – yearly use as general pesticide became a general threat to wildlife. This came in US and Europe after malaria was already eradicated here, but dwindling DDT use elsewhere meant a cessation in efforts

138
Malaria was present in some parts of Slavonia (e.g. Slavonski Brod with ~25 hospitalized yearly) due to swampy terrain. Habsburgs started draining the swamp to get rid of malaria in 18th century already
The island Krk is also noted as a hotspot for malaria, comparable to Dalmatia

There's an extra layer to it where developed countries often "discover" that this and that they did to fix things is, actually, bad (see DDT, but even swamp draining goes against environment protection rules) & discourages others from following suit

Andrija Štampar put a lot of effort on proactive treatment: doctor looking for sick and not the other way around.
In Macedonia swamp draining was constant: Ohrid lake outflow was constantly being deepened, & Paris green was used every spring wherever draining was not possible

DDT was already used with British & American military during WW2 (used by advancing troops in Italy, but also in North Africa and Middle East), Yugoslavia applied DDT since 1947, with rates quickly going down (3240 recorded in 1956), considered eradicated by 1973

Dalmatia & Krk took similar efforts in the 1920s already: split into water management regions, prophylaxis with quinine, draining the swamps, Paris green, but also augmented with Gambusia affinis introduction (who feed on mosquito larvae)
Malaria was eradicated on Krk by 1927

The records for Slovenia show: ~100 infections yearly in Ljubljana around 1830, but notes that draining the swamp worked

Sure. But to rehabilitate the criminal, you still have to lock the criminal away first. So if anything, incarceration is more an element of rehabilitative than punitive justice.
