Me to a friend earlier today about an "examples of historic food" garden: Only three brassicas? Are they even trying?

While it's not *as* decorated, I suspect the inspiration for the ballista front plates was the Cremona plate in Abb. D of Schramm's Die antiken Geschutze der Saalburg.

Thought those were percentages for a moment until I read the header. Since it's per 1000, percentages would be one decimal to the left, so still nearly 10% for Egypt in 1914.

Due to electrical by Lucas, the van won't be drivable at night or in the rain, something which will surely have no appreciable effect on its use in Britain.

Hopefully someday in the future we'll get a sketch with a bunch of "five Pals shocked silent" posts where the order of presentation keeps changing.

I started him off with Consider Phlebas. I only own the first three novels (although I've read all of them except...uh...Excession, which I have somehow missed getting from the library). I wasn't going to start him with Use of Weapons or let him have my copy of Player of Games. 😁

Thank you for the reminder. I had it saved but hadn't pledged yet because I was waiting until I knew whether or not I'd be moving during the fulfillment period.

This one *seems* to have started when pollution and overharvesting were making lobsters more scarce and more expensive. One theory I saw is that it began as a "I remember when they were so common people refused to eat them" story and it snowballed from there.

It's hard to remember because it's a myth. No archive has any record of any law, bill, or petition to limit servants' consumption of lobster and no known indenture has any stipulations regarding lobster.

I remember seeing scenarios about fitting missile launchers into containers and firing them from cargo ships a good 20 years ago, so someone has been thinking about it for at least a generation.

Huh. Pound's weaker than I remember. That's "only" $887k USD, and I was expecting closer to $1 million.

Bloodywood is great. Finding them is one of the few things the algorithm has gotten right for me, because Bekhauf randomly wound up in my recommendations.

The problem for me is that it's a euphemism that covers a broad range of behaviors, and there's no easy way to tell if they're just a curmudgeon with no brain/mouth filter or an actively violent bigot, and I don't really want to take that chance.
