@lowqualityfacts The old Traveller TTRPG used blades for shipboard combat because (a) one bullet could pierce the hull and kill everyone and (b) blades make for a better pirate adventure.

Also low quality: in Traveller starships with their narrow corridors, it is easier to rotate in place when an opponent unexpectedly pops out of a door behind you, *without* getting your damned weapon jammed in the corridor walls, if you are armed with a cutlass instead of a rifle.
A 𑐴𑐶𑐟𑐶 (hiti) is an ancient Newah urban water feature: a stepped, sunken courtyard with waterspouts and a central pool. These are fed through a remarkable network of pipes, reservoirs, and irrigation systems drawing water from mountain springs dozens of kilometres away. Every day, hundreds of people from the neighbourhood come to draw water, bathe, and exchange news. They are a unique and precious feature of Newa urban architecture through which neighbourhoods are created.
