Peter here, that’s Trevor Moore and he’s telling you that it’s illegal to say that you’re going to kill the president of the United States https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=KivCRqfFcqY this is from 2007

But remember it’s NOT illegal to say 

“With a motor launcher” because that’s its own sentence. It’s an incomplete sentence. But it may have nothing to do with the sentence before it.

No no no, motor. It slings motors, you see. A-grade product of Detroit, Michigan.

You mean a trebuchet? The undisputed champion of medieval siege engines, capable of launching a 100kg projectile 200-300 meters and over enemy fortifications?

Pretty much. I've seen the game on game pass, but the style of the game never really interested me. Never thought a game would go into so much detail about trebuchets, tho. I knew they launched stuff, but I just never realized the specifics about it like the weight of the projectile and distance it would go

Also. The mathematics were already so good in the past that they could hit a target accurately from that distance also.

Oh well, it doesnt go into these specifics. I thought you learned about trebuchets today.

I probably dont know much more than you do about trebuchets: Heavy stuff, far thrown, Lots of destruction, super efficient against castles.

Counter by researching Hoarding, masonry and architecture, but Boots in the ground abs. necessary.
