I mean technically if we didn't have Roman aqueducts, would we have Gmail today?


All right, but apart from the sanitation, the medicine, education, wine, public order, irrigation, roads, the fresh water system, public health, and GMail what have the Romans ever done for us?

I'm a little out of the loop. Are any of those still active projects?

On Coursera I really liked the Roman Architecture course from Yale: https://www.coursera.org/learn/roman-architecture

The instructor is really passionnate about what she's talking about, which really makes the subject more interesting than I thought it would be.


I mean there could be a middle ground between no shiny features at all and iOS.

> don’t smoke, keep your weight down, move often, sleep properly, keep blood pressure and cholesterol in check, and go easy on the booze.
