warm pupper aroma is great. wet dog not so much :D

dog farts can be incapacitating.

go to spain, they have Fête du Citron - the fragrances overload the brain

also the warm pupper aroma. the opposite of wet dawg smell, it’s lovely.

the devs appropriated the models from the masses.

at this point I suspect they’re also buying air time to deny it to other outfits like Lincoln Project.

What a pointless, useless, historically racist excuse for a ‘sport’. Some kid scooped a few hundreds worth of titleists from their ponds and the course is pissed they didn’t get a cut. the whole thing is wretched.

ding dong the bitch is dead

iirc he was a musician before this gig so… yeah, hard working blue collar stuff rrwwarr ford tuff hemi merika fuckyea

fairly niche porn

ahem, the preferred terminology is ‘refined’.

Stop shoving this down my throat.

see this is one of those basic sex ed things I’m worrying conservatives aren’t getting - if you keep it in the throat no babies.

eh…

mike rowe’s full of shit. don’t think for a moment any of those jobs were made up though.

Man now I miss cash cab…

650 years ago steel was pretty common.

common but still cottage industry forged. a fiefdom would break up tasks to smaller smiths to forge chain for mail, or steel billets for creating axe heads.

Copper, silver and gold were used for coins and jewelry.

in small quantities and with considerable value, yes. you’re not going to wander up to some trader and say "gimme 300 furlongs of your shiny copper wire’ lol. and how would you buy it if you could? you have no specie, no tender beyond half knowing a bunch of kinda true science factoids.

for example, the baghdad battery is rather contested as to it’s actual purpose. Konig hypothesizes that it was a battery due to finding thin layers of gold he assumed were electroplated. Read the wikipedia article, these ideas aren’t really supported by a lot of the other evidence.

People were mining, smelting, and forging many metals 650 years ago.

yep, 3000bc+ going back to copper and bronze.

but there’s a tremendous jump from being able to smelt metal in small quantities - obtaining enough ores for each, for example, is probably more than one person work to produce anything usable. smelting, gathering wood or other fuel, building ovens and water wheels etc… and no one to call on for expertise…

hard couple of decades to produce some wire :D

primitive technology youtube channel has him trying to make iron for a few years with everything handmade. watch it to see what you’d be up against.

Yeah, there’s that - the George Carlin / cynic view of if there’s a god it’s outlook seems really, really dark.

like, would an all knowing, all loving god create a botfly?

beavers… you have a beaver.

give it a tree trunk ffs.

wow

it would make me reconsider faith…
