There are 100 Arabic words used in the 1st DUNE novel, from "Arrakis/The Dancer" to "Zabur/Psalms".

Translating the book into my native Arabic (in 2018) was an interesting experience!

I've just realized how similar my defense-favoring strategy in RTS games to my religious attitude, preferring apologetics to polemics & proselytizing!

Just found out Leon Trotsky was one of *those* guys
According to one story, Leon Trotsky was said to have been particularly fond of a Jewish dairy restaurant called Triangle Dairy in the Bronx, whose waiters were Russian emigrés. Trotsky refused to tip after eating as a matter of principle, insisting that "tipping was demeaning to the dignity of a workingman, and that a person should get a regular salary, enough to live on, and not have to depend on tips". For the same reason, he tried to persuade other customers to refuse to tip as well. This led to verbal abuse, poor service, and one incident where waiters intentionally spilled hot soup on him.
