I should've been a little more specific. I'm aware of the battles of the Athenian navy and antiquity in general. However, using the ram as a boarding aide was not common. So the person I replied to who said the ram could be used as a boarding aide is wrong...up until the invention of the corvus.
However this is the first I'm hearing about Polybius not being accepted as mainstream anymore.

You don't board from the front of the ship??? You grapple it and pull it side by side. People weren't hopping over the bow.
The corvus was unique because you could ram, stun the crew, drop the corvus and charge.

Boarding wasn't as common for most navies until the Roman navy with the corvus. So I would say it's not an aide

I think a lot more detail needs to be given here.
First off, what is being measured? Wood burning emits C02. If you were to specify that this is for *nonrenewable* emissions then it would be better.
Second, are the income groups static? Or do they change over time? And at what point in time are they composed from? High income as of 2023? High Income as of 1990?
Third, how large are each of these groups?

It's wrestling. Like the staged wrestling thing, not like real competitive wrestling. For Americans at least, I'd have expected most people to at least seen a commercial...or a movie with The Rock (Dwayne Johnson), John Cena, Dave Bautista, Jesse Ventura....there's a fairly decent chance that if a movie has a big muscly man in it, he's a WWE star.
NHL is the National Hockey League (NFL is American football, correct). I said that because I figured a good healthy chunk of Europeans would know about it as well because like half the league is European players.

Right, but a substantial part of that rest of the world's population would know T-series or one of the other channels up there. It's a pretty broad spectrum. Very surprised someone knows none of them

I had figured everyone has heard of WWE. I mean, not knowing about WWE is like not knowing the NHL exists.
