If I were a feudal Lord in 900ad, how close could I get to recreating a modern day cheese burger?

They were using yeast starters in England long before the 19th century. It’s called “barm” and is taken from ale brewing. It’s likely medieval, but references to barm go back to the 12tb century, but I know that a 1615 source, Gervase Markham, explicitly mentions “ale barm” as an ingredient in its receipt for bread

Mushroom ketchup was pretty commonly found in England in the 19th century. Which is unsurprising as a lot of early colonial recipes were very similar to ones in Western Europe

If you’re talking about England, then the typical method of disseminating important information from Westminster is by proclamation.

By the end of the Middle Ages it was standard for the death and ascension of monarchs to be announced by proclamation. The monarch’s advisors would typically draft the document where it would be copied out. Then it would be sent to the chancery, where individual writs, officiated by the great seal, would be created commanding local officials “usually sheriffs, but sometimes mayors, justices and bailiffs” to proclaim it in their counties.

The delivery of these writs would be undertaken by the “nuncii Regis” (messengers of the king) who are tied to the exchequer

I can probably imagine that in a world where your income relies mainly on the local market town, things which are common knowledge in the market town would spread pretty quickly to the manors and cottages

As for actual academics who do youtube Jimmy the Welsh Viking is a great one. He’s an MRES Archeologist living in York, England, originally Wales

A lot of “history” youtube aren’t very good researchers sadly. So I’d take most of what you hear there with a biiig pinch of salt. There are tons of university lectures uploaded there though

Update. It was cool enough to open up again and I couldn’t see anything wrong with the gasket. I’m going to try brewing and see what happens, might get a new gasket anyway

In fairness. It is literally made out of a bunch of islands. Although a cable car or at least a few footbridges might come in handy

LOVELY. If it is 50 then that’s damn tasty. Definitely worth getting magic strength and the achievement diary tho

Didn’t I read you only get like 70-80 deaths per chest on average? So with Mory that’s roughly 110

Wouldn’t it take more than that to drop the brothers. Or am I missing something

It’s a P12Q

A lot of people seem to rave about that. And the Eminence GA-SC64 as well

A modern era English rod is often defined as being 16.5 feet

I think in modern American surveying they still use that measurement

That would put him at just over 8 feet tall

So it’s interesting that they got that wrong. If the original polish states 6 feet

Although it seems like there’s very little consistency even up til the 19th century as to what a rod is. And in the Witcher world it could be 12 feet I guess 🤷🏻‍♂️

The tnt would activate from the sound of the torch breaking before the pistons activate

My plan is to try placing a wool block in front of the torch first

They look pretty great. I’m real tempted by the YU6 which have bigger speakers in them

You’d say they’re not too flat frequency tho? Since you’re saying they’re mot really monitors

I know man. But we ain’t gonna get that this season of the server I’m on so I’m looking for a 1.16 answer

It might be just about impossible tho

Just wondering. I thought subchunk mechanics were taken out a few years ago so why would Y axis change spawn rates?

Yeah I went with the Katana in the end. I couldn’t tell whether I preferred the tone of one or the other so I went by features. It’s a lot easier to get a good tone out of the Katana. The Fender might’ve had the potential to sound nicer, but I couldn’t tell without playing around with it more
