u/Shoddy-Pumpkin2939

This was a shower thought that came to me after watching Apocalypto.

I recently got this mossberg shotgun, and was having some trouble firing it in the desert with some clay shot rounds I had also purchased, every few rounds the gun would not fire, regardless of me fully shucking it or not, is this an ammo issue or is there something I need to fix on the shotgun? And if so what could that be?

R.I.P to the best models of Roman helmets that ever existed in my opinion.

In reality, splitting the administrative duties of the Empire between two rulers did seem like the most reasonable method to balance out the immense needs of the state at the time. However, this split ultimately guaranteed the dissolution of the Western Roman Empire, mostly because of the vast disparity in wealth and resources between the two regions. This is an obvious truth because virtually from its inception in the historical record, imperial authority across Western Rome begins almost instantly degrading after 395 AD. Now the question is would the Empire have had an overall shorter or longer lifespan if it had remained unified under one emperor in either Constantinople or Ravenna.

I’m curious to hear everyone’s perspective, but let’s try to keep this conversation civil.
