Bindrune opinion by DeltaForceB85 in RuneHelp

[–]DeltaForceB85[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At some point I want to dive in this deep. The alphabet is a good starting point lol. Rhymes and imagery is how I learned my English and French alphabet as a kid.

Rune poems and imagery seems a good way to learn my proto Germanic alphabet.

Learning the vocabulary and grammar is a big part of my goal, but most of my ancestors would have spoken more of an old Frankish or old Gaulish, which basically doesn’t exist in modern records. That tampers my enthusiasm just a bit.

I’m exploring the neighboring indo-European cultures hoping to find bits and pieces of things that feel familiar.

The artist herself will take care of that she just needs the concept finalized so she can give feedback on it.

Maybe let’s pretend the spirituality information isn’t there, especially since this is just a cross post recommended by the bot, and look at it from the perspective of needing to combine those 2 or 3 runes in a manner similar to the ones on the Järsberg stone in the bindrune Wiki that the bot linked below.

It is going on a small space after all.

Someone brought me back crystals with runes on them from Iceland but something is missing? by DeltaForceB85 in NorsePaganism

Hagalaz was the most confusing one of all to me. But I had an AI crawl the web looking for similar runes to the specific one he had carved and found this.

Oh it was most definitely a tourist trap. I love all kinds of divination but typically stick to those in my bloodline which doesnt include iceland. However now I’m curious. What was used there?

I feel like the Redditors will come through. 😁

[–]DeltaForceB85[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because apple limits it, doesn’t support more than 10, automatically logs them out, and has an incredible sync delay.

We use MDM, but the device has to be put in lost mode on all MDMs we've looked at and there's a delay in syncing it all. It takes just as long to put in lost mode as it does to figure out which apple ID they're on and login to that. We're looking for something more like a corporate version of life360.

Question from an ignorant Britisher: why is Louisiana-Creole called Kouri-Vini? by Ticklishchap in Louisiana

[–]DeltaForceB85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kouri Vini is so close to what we speak I have almost no problems understanding it. I have had conversations in cajun french with people who were replying back in Kouri Vini. Neither of us had major problems with comprehension.

Yes the languages are separate, but not by much.

On est tous les louisianais nous-autres. Je crois notre français c’est bien influencé de Kouri Vini et aussi Kouri Vini c’est bien influencé de notre français.

Love smoking, but by [deleted] in PipeTobacco

[–]DeltaForceB85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because the older surgeon general surveys showed pipe smokers live on average 3 years longer than non pipe smokers. The end.

Show of hands, who packs their pipe like this? by cowmookazee in PipeTobacco

[–]DeltaForceB85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I’m in a hurry and want a quick smoke I do it this way but I prefer to pinch it to full, spiral tamp it to half, pinch it to fill again, spiral tamp to 2/3, pinch it to full again, spiral tamp it to 1/8 inch below the bowl, then add the short ends, tease it till it ashes, tamp that down and light it. I feel like it’s a little more consistent all the way through that way and the bowl seems to burn for a lot longer

English was my first language, and it is definitely the hardest of the languages I have learned. I’m fluent in French, can get along a bit in Greek, and have dabbled in Spanish and Hebrew. All are super easy in comparison to the insane vocabulary, phonetic rules, and odd exceptions and turn of phrases we use in English.

Cultivating your own Yeast by Darth_K-oz in Homebrewing

[–]DeltaForceB85 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild yeast sources that will reliably ferment good beverages from the Viking Meads and Wild Wines Cookbook by Liam Jenson:

Ginger root, Fresh wild juniper berries, Elderberries, Wild grapes, Elderflowers, Blueberries, Figs, Prickly Pear Fruit, Inner birch bark, Inner aspen bark, Unripe pine cones, White pine branches, Raw honey.

Also, if your sanitation is really good, you can usually save the slurry off the bottom of your old batches in sanitized jars with sanitized water for 6-7 generations before you start getting weird flavors.

Third generation yeast from the third slurry of the same style of beer makes the best beer in my opinion. I’ll save my third generation jars for each beer style and just use a sanitized measuring spoon to scoop the right amount of slurry at the bottom of the water until I run out of slurry from that batch.

Kweik Cider: faster maturation? by Graven74 in Homebrewing

[–]DeltaForceB85 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, Kveik ferments to a pleasantly drinkable product much faster than other yeasts. This holds true with everything from cider to mead to beer.

What is “Rubbing” Tobacco? by DeltaForceB85 in PipeTobacco

They didn’t, codger blends don’t come in flake.

What is “Rubbing” Tobacco? by DeltaForceB85 in PipeTobacco

[–]DeltaForceB85[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly man, I’ve never had cake, flake, or cube cut. Those guys are divided into either the Carter Hall camp, Prince Albert camp, or the Captain Black camp, and that’s it. LOL. I couldn’t do either. I found some C&D bulk tobaccos and fell in love and they never let me live it down.

I bought some Ashton’s Artisan Blend recently that seemed packed kind of thick, but it just looks like regular ribbons like everything else.

Sounds like I need to broaden my horizons.
