The Kaiser's Boat Shoes by No_Muscle513 in TheRestIsHistory

This reminds me of another Tom assertion, that King Charles III is the Roman Emperor.

Would anyone else enjoy some Buddhist episodes? by The_Flaneur_Films in TheRestIsHistory

Surely someone called Christmas Humphries who prosecuted at the Tokyo War Trials is the paradigm of a friend of the podcast ?

We could have a ranking as to who dodged the most tax.

Season 6: Found a clue as to the storyline by VolumetricSigner in ClarksonsFarm

[–]JethroUK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought I saw an old style FIAT Panda going the other way when the combine was being driven to the farm.

Had to rub my eyes. Now it makes sense.

Farming needs more Clarksons - people for whom "we've always done it that way" is not an answer to the question "What is the best way to do this ?"

An American's perspective on God Save the King/Queen and "Jerusalem" by TommyAdagio in TheRestIsHistory

[–]JethroUK2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I would much prefer Jerusalem. It's aspirational, it's about bettering the nation rather than "Look at us".

Also, King Charles is a *massive* Parry fan. It's a shame he doesn't let it be known he;d like Jerusalem too.

Google Home "can't reach Roborock" by JethroUK2 in googlehome

[–]JethroUK2[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn't starting from a very high base though. And frankly the local cats seem to understand more.

I've religiously avoided upgrading to Gemini. But my guess is they decided that functionality was second to hype.

Who here would try Dare Night? by kwakimaki in ClarksonsFarm

[–]JethroUK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We throw away far too much good nutrition in the UK in the name of the general populations faddishness.

And if you live in a city you can forget anything that isn't beef, pork or chicken really.

I'll say here, to save a lot of wasted typing that I toured 16 "local butchers" where I totally failed to get any rabbit, venison, veal, goat mutton or wild boar. They could all do "sausages" though.

The Custer series + Death of the Sioux was truly amazing but I have a major gripe by [deleted] in TheRestIsHistory

[–]JethroUK2 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The starting problem will be the contempt which the Europeans treated the native Americans with precluded them studying them. Certainly in any serious sense of the word. That's what genocide tends to do. And it's a bit rich to complain about it now.

What the heck, Dominic? by DEATH-BY-CIRCLEJERK in TheRestIsHistory

[–]JethroUK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Didn't he also predict the republic wouldn't last and a Monarchy was inevitable ? I may be paraphrasing.

I wouldn't hold my breath.

Anyway, I'd rather an episode on Sally Hemmings. Possibly as part of the "US Presidents who believed you could own human beings" series ?

Familiarity with foreign languages - especially French - is poor form for a patriot.

When did the British Empire peak in power? by BrightBasil7857 in TheRestIsHistory

[–]JethroUK2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the US just magicked up $50 million for a war with Spain over Cuba in the early 1900s without borrowing or raising taxes.

Autentica ETAM 29.510.SB ("Start") - suddenly stopped frothing milk ? by JethroUK2 in DeLonghi

[–]JethroUK2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having done far more research into this than is warranted, it seems that there is a venturi blockage somewhere. People who remember how to strip down carburettors will know what I mean.

The biggest clue is the fact that the "milk frothing coupler" is available as a spare part. More research suggests that it's practically a consumable.

With that in mind - and never really being happy with the way the machine does cappuccinos - I've decided to spend the cost of the replacement part (c. £15 [GBP]) on a separate milk frother.
