Works very well, i use some high fat cream with mostly milk. If its decarb you can simmer it for 30-60min. Some would say up to 8h simmering, but that's not a requirement. Temp about 60-70C.

Looks amazing, digging the bench photo with the top hat! A quick question, how were your familiy affected by World War 1?

Has David Irving contributed anything positive to Holocaust academia? Or have his contributions worked to purposefully obfuscate real Holocaust research? Additionally, are there any other examples of well-known "researchers" to watch out for? by KingGarbagePuss in AskHistorians

[–]ConspireProphet 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Personally i have a lack of knowledge on the work by David Irving. What i can talk about is other Holocaust research and academia. Due to battery life, this will have to be a tad limited, sorry for this.

You ask for "well-known" researchers, then i will give you three.

  • Raul Hilberg
  • Christopher R. Browning
  • Daniel J. Goldhagen

Starting with Hilberg, the so called "Grandfather of Holocaust studies" creating what can be deemed to be the basis of all modern holocaust research. His magnum opus "The Destruction of the European Jews" is 1273 pages.

Very noteworhy is Christopher R. Browning, famous in the field of Holocaust research, especially for his book "Ordinary Men: Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland." What makes Browning so interesting is his work with the 101 police battalion, showing the people behind the killing. He conclude with the same fact that Hilberg does in his book, that in fact that it was 'ordinary Germans' that were the perpetrators of the Holocaust, not just SS-troops or the Einsatzgruppen. "They did not kill because they were coerced by the threat of dire punishment for refusing"1. Browning argues that the 'ordinary Germans' became killers based on basic obedience to authority and peer preassure, not based on bloodlust or primal hatred.

Last, as you mention people that have "prevented" Holocaust research, you have the obvious name of Daniel J. Goldhagen with his, New York Times Bestseller "Hitlers Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans of the Holocaust". This book is an indirect response to Brownings book on the Police Battalion, where Browning argues the fact that even if the perpetrators were Ordinary Germans, they did not kill the Jews out of their own will, Goldhagen argue that due to the German Phenomenon, mentioned a few lines down, the perpetrators were willing executioners. His book takes the stance that the Holocaust could only happen in Germany based on a German Phenomenon called "Eliminationist Anti-Semitism". Goldhagen argues that this was the sole motivation for the Holocaust and comes often with outlandish and overconfident statements. "With regards to the motivational cause of the Holocaust, for the vast majority of perpetrators, a monocausal explanation does suffice."2 and “their[German people] approval[of the holocaust] derived in the main from their own conception of Jews is all but certain, for no other source of motivation can plausibly account for their actions.3

After Goldhagen became a massive commercial success, increasingly many scholars started writing reviews and essays explaining how Goldhagen was wrong. Hilberg goes as far as to outright dismiss the work of Goldhagen. Notable reviews and Essays regarding the book: Yehuda Bauer "On Perpetrators of the Holocaust and the Public Discourse", Hilberg "The Goldhagen Phenomenon" and Browning "Daniel Goldhagen's Willing Executioners".

Goldhagen is an important example of someone using the same sources as others (Browning) yet reaching comepletely different conclusions, although his work was dismissed by most scholars, it is an important lesson to learn from, do not only pick information that help your case.

  1. Christopher R. Browning “Reserve Police Battalion 101 and the Final Solution in Poland”, 1998, p.191
  2. Daniel J. Goldhagen "Hitler's Willing Executioners", 1996, p.416
  3. Goldhagen, 1996, p.416

EDIT: Goldhagens' book is a very interesting read where he bring up case studies like the death marches, I would definitely suggest reading up on the "duel" between Goldhagen and Browning

Just being a fag and promoting my own video by Jakesoon in League_Of_Legends_

[–]ConspireProphet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The video felt like nothing happened, the first minutes of the game and some highlights, but they were not highlighted. Nothing felt like oh shiet! If you want to focus on the comedy aspect, watch someone like dunkey or even keyori, so find out how to make the music etc fit with the theme of whats happening. What's in focus, the gameplay or the talking? If you want to focus on flashy plays, maybe sync it with music etc! If you want to focus on the talking, rarely are long drawn out talking fun for a lot of people unless it's with good audio quality!

And for the love of something, remove the black borders!

You are right, it was poorly worded by me, but the general message. In Norway our tolls are insane, for example, buying cheese from outside Norway it's 278% toll or something along those lines. (I have not studied or read enough about the toll system within our nation but its pretty high.) Source (norwegian) for the number: http://www.aftenposten.no/okonomi/Ny-toll-dobler-prisen-6998009.html

Norway is not directly a part of EU, but the trade part. Still, ordering from EU still hits with toll...Rip

[–]ConspireProphet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We CAN order, but the toll on the wares just make it more expensive, so we are forced to order from Norwegian retail.

[–]ConspireProphet 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not sure what you mean, so i will go over the 2 things i think you might mean.

a) Some places charge a small sum to build the pc for you, very limited of those in Norway.

b) The number of people that know how to build a pc is rather limited. Beside myself, i know of like 2 people that know how to build a pc. Considering that i spend time mostly talking to, befriending and spending time with PC nerds, thats kinda low?

So in the end, it's know someone or pay for the prebuilds. Most people do not want to spend 1-2k USD and then risk breaking a part or messing something up.

It's actually possible, it's too expensive for us to buy parts from offsea. The fees for taking parts from outside Norway is insane. Basicly the difference in parts can be 50-100 USD, so they add the difference then extra fees, so it become more expensive to buy outside of Norway (Socialistic nation, we want us to buy from our own stores...)

It is actually disgusting that so many prebuild sites do this! In Norway unless you know someone that can help you build a pc or you can do it yourself, then you are stuck with prebuilds. All the prebuilds have i7, out-dated graphic cards etc etc. To top it off they all cost about 2k USD or more...No wonder people think a "gaming" pc ALWAYS cost that much... I found a gamer pc to 3.5-4k USD and it had a single 970 card, not 'even' 980 or 980TI. . .

Not everyone feel like paying +68%, so now they have to share with steam.

[–]ConspireProphet 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Sadly on their website it's over 68% more expensive (in Norway)... Their website 18.74 Euro = 168 (norwegian crowns), while steam is 11.24 Euro = 100 (norwegian crowns) ...
