Yeah, I thought it was a metaphor. That's a beautiful photo though.

Number one, that's some seriously good craftsmanship. I love this. It looks so cool and detailed. Number two, I have zero knowledge about the historical way these were done, so apologies for a very ignorant question. Did metal suits of armor have padding like this? It occurs to me that it makes total sense to have padding, but I don't recall ever seeing "historical" preserved pieces with padding like this. Was that the norm? Either way, that's the type of helmet I'd want. Looks beautiful.

I’m not sure what it means, but I avoid anyone who has any form of flag on their truck/hat/coffee mug, etc. Experience has taught me that the louder, more vocal or self-proclaimed “Patriots” are just ignorant, bigoted blow-hards.

Thanks! I appreciate the response. I’ve seen some videos on 3blue1brown and I’ve really enjoyed them. I think if I were to go back and fill in all the blank spots in my math experience/education I would enjoy math quite a bit.

I came here to find some cool, mind-blowing facts about math and have instead confirmed that I’m not smart enough to have my mind blown. I am familiar with some of the words used by others in this thread, but not enough of them to understand, lol.
