the movie Braveheart gives a rather accurate representation
That loud, earth-rumbling moan was the sound of every historian turning over in their grave.
And gathering your own firewood, and water, and making twice as much to prepare for winter, and the strongly reduced options.
I mean yeah, it IS fun for a bit, I do medieval reenactment, obviously I enjoy it. But doing it every day absolutely sucks.
I mean the reality was that the time “off” was spent farming their own land, taking care of animals, fixing the house and doing the insane number of household tasks that come with premodern living. Spend a few days just cooking in a medieval style, and you’ll quickly realize it’s a LOT of work.
Taverns kind of are a thing, they’re just called hotels now.
Good news: take up subsistence farming, no healthcare, no electricity, and make everything yourself, and you too can have half the year “off”.
I always got apple juice when I was ill as a kid, and I was ill a lot. As a result I cant stand apple juice or cider, they taste like sick
I got (and still get) the vast majority of my Ukraine news from NCD memes…
If Russia and the west start shooting eachother, one of four things will happen.
1 - Russia grows a brain and backs down when they horribly lose a conventional war. (Unlikely, unless someone takes command authority away)
2 - Russia kept their nuclear arsenal up to date, and a tiny remnant.of humanity gets to enjoy the Stone Age again. It won’t hurt if you live in a city though.
3 - Only a tiny fraction of their nukes launch, and the west responds proportionally. A lot of people die, but at least we’ll fix global warming.
Seems like an amazing system when you’re voting between a small number of parties, but the Dutch House elections had hundreds of individuals, with 20 districts with imperfect overlap off individuals. It would be completely incomprehensible for humans to check things.
I also suggest a front that won’t fall off
Depends on the country and the context. For private people in the Netherlands, it’s free. On my business account I pay something like 12 cents, plus 2 bucks per batch (which is why most companies only do payments every so often)…
Price Crypto at the one-year simple moving average, and the volatility stops.
What? No it doesn’t, you’re just shifting the volatility from your pricing to your consumption.
getting paid for freelance work that is available in Europe
Banktransfers are free…
Especially in Australia, where there’s an insane amount of empty nothing to place wind turbines. Northern Australia gets twice as much solar irradiation as western Europe, it’s absolutely ideal for (rooftop) solar.
Economies of scale and “high density” power generation make sense for some places, but even a place with the population density of the Netherlands can cram in enough wind turbines to get a significant fraction of renewable energy. It should be a total no-brainer for Australia.
You monster, what about curryketchup? (I think that’s the English word for it?)
Why make it hard on yourself when idiots self-select into an easy target audience?
Roughly the odds of flipping heads 17 times in a row
I’ve heard someone with a similar job reply with “does your computer cost more than a house? No? Then I can’t help you”
That’s not remotely close to what I think the world SHOULD BE like.
It is, unfortunately, what I think the world IS like.
I’m also pointing out that if you want that aspect of the middle ages, you can have it right now by also taking all the crappy aspects of the middle ages…
