I sit corrected.

I agree, it would be good to be able to browse all communities on an instance.

Yup. The curse of the 'fair to middling'... Too well off for social benefits too poor to be able to ignore money...

Thing with the spices is that medieval spices were much more varied than the few commonly available today - many are now out of fashion (cubebs, long pepper, though that is gaining traction, grains of paradise etc.).

I suspect the reason many have dropped out of use is down to suppliers not really wanting to bother and the similarities in flavour profile mean the the common ones are good/close enough.

The medieval cook would, however, be fascinated by the containers - screw top and air tight. If you could work out a way of making those...

Back in the day there was a cat-scan website... Lots of arguments about cruelty to cats because of the scanners bright lights. Lots of great scans of cats.

Yes. In the Aga at home and the coal fire in the living room. Also in the grate at a friend's house.

Why? Aga for cooking and hot water, coal stove for heat, likewise coal in a grate.

ETA: coal as in Anthracite, Stove Esse, Stove Nuts. Not charcoal or coke. The latter two I have cooked on and forged metal with respectively.

Don't think about the dog park....

That's the time stamp for that part of the boot process in seconds. There will be (should be...) text on the line to say what it was doing at the time.

Back in the day you could actually see the text but these days it flashes past so quickly that the timestamps are, IMHO, less useful.

Hmmm... Quite happy to sit corrected here. If they are using TBMs then other than where the west of the tunnel is going to be I don't see a problem.

Was definitely going to be c&c originally but that may have been many years ago (the whole tunnel the A303 past Stonehenge thing has been going for 30 years or more).

I haven't kept up with the project since moving away a few years ago.

Not sure it counts but I have an oak dining table my grandfather bought back in 1910 or there abouts... So 113 years-ish. Still used every day.
