Thanks for these facts.
I had read about Leonardo Da Vinci and i keep imagining how he did it!

Leonardo da Vinci could write with one hand and draw with the other.

It is just insane stuff,write here and draw there,how was he able to coordinate these two independent activities!

He was a genius.

He was a genius for sure!

@jwolf,
good shot capture in war .I like your post and war story.
thanks for sharing,
upvoted and followed.

thank you!

@jwolf how you didn't receive any copy paste claim from cheetah... Because these datas are already up on internet.

That's because I filtered those informations and wrote it by myself, I didn't use copy-paste.

Even I did that but got a comment from cheetah.

You did it wrong :D

How can I do it?

source

But i don't see him mentioning source in this post

Therefore, during war time crypto and fiat will be devalued but gold and silver remains its value.

Bitcoin gold? hehe

great knowledge's! jwolf

thanks!

good history

thanks!

after 38 minutes pheww that was short !!

so short!

I think I'll love this series.

I am glad you like it!

It seems that if you are the wife of a homicidal ruler or dictator the best way to get rid of one of your husband's cohorts is to give your husband the idea that you are sleeping with the guy.
I always find it strange that people assume that the lovers actually like each other when this kind of thing happens.

risky in my opinion :D
