I don't think cutting clean through chainmail is realistic - thrusting is very much so though!

That, or dagger in the gaps!

Cutting or stabbing through full plate armor with a sword. Why would anyone wear an armor that is easily cut or stabbed through?!

The Broken Empire trilogy. Also Red War trilogy, which is spin-off (though uses these themes a bit less)

It's not only barring teeth, dogs also do a "submissive smile" in some cases, to show they are not a threat. Not seen much but when we got our second dog she was very insecure and "smiled" a lot. Definitely not for showing happines but I think I read our smiles have similar origins.

Deep down, I understand that movies like Matrix are old... but John Wick?!

Very happy with Linux Mint

I use a Steam Link, but that's no longer available as hardware, only an app. I don't have any experience with it but I read somewhere you can set up RaspberyPi to work in the same way.

Though I have to say - while it works wirelessly, for games it is better to have wired connection.

Man, I was already feeling ancient. You using "1900s" didn't help much :D

They were quite big, but used super thin paper and small font. There were books thicker still, but still the phrase "thick as a phone book" was used.

There were also Yellow Pages (same format as phone books, but entirely yellow) which listed businesess and stuff.

Pre-internet these were the household essentials.

There was also a number you could call to ask for phone numbers or other stuff. Basically a call in google.
