No.
But if I only need a specific screwdriver cause none other fit these screws, it costs $200 and plays ads while I hold it, then I'll use different screws instead.

You're a stranger speaking English trying to convince the locals not to trust any stranger speaking English?

You'd need metallurgy which was only invented in the process of building bigger naval guns, much later.
The issue was pressurizing the steam, which wasn't possible in the middle ages. You had no rubber for seals, no steel that would hold, and no tools to drill holes precisely enough.
That's why the Romans already used steam for simple parlor tricks but it couldn't be made to do actual work until the modern era

I become a scribe or accountant, since I can write cursive, do math, and know some Latin.
There was a monastery within walking distance of my home at that time, so that's where I'd head first.

Is there a source that isn't "US analysts"?
That's about as reliable as "Russian analysts" or "Chinese analysts" right now.

You shouldn't smoke inside a Russian car, they're known for leaky fuel lines.

When Israel has "cleared", flattened and militarized the entire West Bank and Gaza, they will realize that Palestine will still not be gone, and neither will the Palestinian people. A lesson they could have learnt a lot easier and quicker by looking at their own history.

I'm assuming users on .ml instances, even though it doesn't make the slightest bit of sense.

It already drove across the country by itself several years ago.

A worthy successor to 4chan.

You can't force your system onto every society and culture on earth, as Capitalism has done, when your system is Anarchism.

No system has ever worked at scale. Capitalism is literally destroying the planet we live on, Feudalism wasn't any better, and no other system was ever applied at such a scale.
Maybe the scale is the problem, and the Anarchists were right all along.
