I like the idea of some guy in 1858 writing about how much better it was in the "good old time." I would not at all be surprised to find someone from that good old time complaining to _his_ friend about a yet earlier time when things were better.

You should do a video where you make and test one of these bikes. I'd like to see the difficulties that would be faced converting the drawings into an actual physical item, and some range tests of a dummy getting shot using period-similar ammunition at to see how well it might have worked

The book Humble Pi is awesome, it's such a rabbit hole that after a while you are on page 290 - seriously very educational and fun, except the moments when everybody dies. :D

I want to read that cheese book. I hope they have it digitized as it is of great cultural significance. (Seriously, I'd love to see more of the archives digitized. Nothing lasts forever, despite how much effort the RS puts into preservation, but data on a server doesn't decay like paper does.

@berni1602 5 лет назад

Quite interesting ideas, of course they're silly now, but which ideas would be seen as dumb in 3 centuries? I have a question, in many books printed arround the 17th century and before I see they use the "f" character where there's an /s/ sound, for example in the book you get to see Paft, Prefent and Future. However, there's a character for the "s" and they use it too, what's the difference then? I've seen this in Spanish and it's the first time I see it's a phenomenon that happens in English too.

@hughegentry8255 5 лет назад

Rather as America has redeemed its reputation for inferior beer of late with the flourishing 'craft beer' industry perhaps we should encourage our colonial cousins to emulate the locally diverse fromages of France. We just need to come up with a snappy name for the marketing bods to get behind. How about the American 'Cottage Cheese' Industry? Sounds really upmarket and classy!!

Russia was still using the Julian calendar up until Vladimir Lenin changed it by decree in 1918.

@RollaArtis 5 лет назад

In England when the calendar was changed in 1752, it is said there were riots because people thought that 11 days had been stolen from their life.

@ragnkja 5 лет назад

RollaArtis That is why the tax year in the UK begins when it does. The first day of the year used to be 25 March (yes, I know, beginning the year in the middle of a month is madness), and when they skipped 11 days, they also had to shift the beginning of the tax year by the same amount of time, otherwise those riots would have been worse.

Don’t disrespect our Kraft pasteurized prepared cheese product. Our American “cheese” (for legal reasons, not real cheese) is just as good as anyone’s.
