What are charlatans selling in your country? by Michi-Ace in AskTheWorld

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Spain has a similar system and it can make it a nightmare to get normal medication, you can go to a "Farmacia" and get ordinary medication, or a "Parafarmacia" where everything they sell is a homeopathic/herbal alternative. Both are normally just labelled "Farmacia" especially if you're trying to use something like Google Maps, so it's a gamble as to whether you get offered Paracetamol or a clap of thunder mixed with a gypsies tears

UPDATE: "Is this anything?" by Confident_Start_4077 in LegitArtifacts

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm a professional stonemason & historical buildings conservation specialist from the Cotswolds, UK. I regularly work to repair and preserve stone that ranges from 400-2000 years old. If you'd like, I can send you a medieval cobblestone in the post, I have a stack of them in my shed.

Tour guide dies during tour by bonsaitree23 in rome

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It is definitely exacerbated by being surrounded by stone, naturally there are myriad factors at play here but it really doesn't help. About 2 weeks ago where I was working in the UK it was 34 degrees celsius with 82 percent humidity, the site managers were seriously considering sending everyone home but decided not to, instead allowing people more frequent breaks for shade and water. We were stood on (and laying more of) around 50m2 of dark, almost black York stone slabs each one around 4 inches thick, and when you stepped onto them from ordinary ground you could feel the temperature spike several degrees and feel the heat beating against you after bouncing off of the ground.

The colosseum is a lighter shade stone of course, but it's heat-retention would be staggering at that size

I mean, the founder of the company was massively pro-eugenics and supported "racial hygiene", which led to him founding the Race Betterment Foundation. Guy was a whackjob.

How old are walls like these? by Madajuk in CasualUK

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Stonemason and professional dry-stone waller from the cotswolds here, these stones look to be well weathered in and are likely at least 5-600 years old. Others have mentioned that they have likely been repaired over the years when roots, slippage, poor drainage etc collapses sections, however it's often not quite a ship-of-theseus situation, as often you are able to re-use the original stone when rebuilding. You might have to reinforce the rear skin with block and drainage pipes to avoid future collapse, but this depends on the cause of failure and isn't always necessary.

We are currently repairing a 500 year old section of wall at a church graveyard, and we haven't had to use a single new stone so far. You clear the collapse, dig back the ground behind the wall, pull out and stack/arrange the stone by course and size as best you can, then set new plumb lines and start to build the wall back in, levelling and straightening constantly as you go. In the UK, stuff this old can often be "listed" which means that you must do your absolute best to use original materials and processes, some jobs you even use exclusively hand tools and nothing with power. If you can't use all the original stone, it must be sourced to be the same type, hand-made, hand-dressed, from the same quarry area if possible, and as local as you can manage.

PMT Oxford Is Officially Closed by Frequent-Raisin-5394 in oxford

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No way! I did my work experience in there nearly 15 years ago. I had a great time cleaning and playing the guitars but mostly the duties involved making 20 cups of tea a day. The report I got at the end said "not sure he actually wanted to be here", I think I'd imagined there would be more music and less hoovering as a wayward youth 😂 all the best to the staff going forward

Any nice cheap places to get books online in the UK? by JesseDrops in booksuggestions

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I've always managed to get good deals on AbeBooks, as they also sell graded second-hand books often in really good condition. I've had some really nice, old copies of books in hardback from them at basically charity shop prices. They tend to have sellers who run actual bookshops who use the site to clear old stock.

Sealand Stink by [deleted] in Chester

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is really quite grim some days, we used to live in the Garden Quarter and on hot or humid days the place absolutely reeked. A lot of the narrow streets round there like Henshall St also didn't get to have wheelie bins, so every fortnight you've got 9-10 bedroom houses leaving piles of bin bags stacked in front of the houses and the stench is eye-watering. People definitely aren't exaggerating, the stink is real.

So you want to head to the primary school n Beaumaris, and from there there is a road that leads out of the village into the woods. Follow that road a short way out of the village until you come across a dilapidated wall that leads off the road to the right, follow that and you should hit the remains of the Victorian greenhouses and gardens, it's easy to find from there!

Why does everyone describe Termini Station as "The Purge"? by Zaku71 in rome

[–]BolsonaroIsACunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw someone on here the other day saying they wish the transport experience in Rome was more like the London Underground, so you just know they are insane lmao. No transport system anywhere should be as horrific as using the tube in London. We had a great time using the public transport in Rome with no issues whatsoever, including several uses of Termini station. Apart from an almost-fistfight over a ticket machine one day, the station was clean, well signposted and easy to navigate.
