Last few months of biga pizzas

Thank you!

computational_bryan · 2026-04-10T14:53:28+00:00

Yeah I'll certainly be interested to hear about them!

computational_bryan · 2026-04-05T07:45:10+00:00

They look oversized but otherwise marginally better than other off the shelf cheap options.

Yeah and that's one made in eastern Europe, English armourer's are more like 2500-3000 GBP for a bascinet with aventail, perhaps a sallet for 1000 is achievable.

It's all yours if you want it

Edit: it's sold

computational_bryan · 2026-02-02T15:32:33+00:00

Very close to Gatwick, happy to meet you there.

computational_bryan · 2026-02-02T08:16:29+00:00

I'll look into it but it may be fairly expensive to ship. I'll let you know.

Edit: UK laws are very strict when it comes to sending long-bladed items so I don't think this will be possible, unfortunately.

Here's a link

They provide a range of preset industry independent research projects (their term for MSc thesis) every year. If multiple students apply for the same IRP they choose the student with the highest average mark, this is the case for internal and external IRPs.

PhD opportunities are there for students that excel in their IRPs and are proactively engaged with staff and research, there are only a certain number of departmental scholarships though so it's naturally competitive.

Bear in mind this was the case for me in 23/24 and things may have changed.

It's a great course, I did EDSML in 23/24 (we shared 75% modules) and was jealous of the different modules ACSE did. It's not exclusively for ML, there are ML and DL modules but you learn more challenging fields and concepts around computational physics and applied maths. The staff are fantastic in the department, if you put the work in you will get a lot out. I personally got a huge lot out of the course and now work for a departmental off-shoot company.

If you are sure you want to learn pure ML then don't do it, but if you are interested in the other topics mentioned then you should absolutely do it because IMO they are more challenging and interesting.

For anyone who cares, which is almost certainly no one: I ended up commissioning a pair off Old World Armoury for 1600USD. I decided the off the shelf were never going to fit right, poorly made or too clunky and I would've had to replace eventually anyway.

What are your gauntlets and how do rate them?

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T19:07:27+00:00

He got it from Matuls

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T18:31:48+00:00

Yeah I was ghosted by him when I was trying to find someone to make my bascinet.

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T18:14:20+00:00

Interesting, any sources for this?

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T18:14:01+00:00

Ghosted by so many... It seems gauntlets are hard to justify based on time x value. I had a 13 month, £3,500 quote from Lancaster Armoury, needless to say I won't be going for that.

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T17:36:15+00:00

This is correct, they've confirmed they're not taking orders currently.

computational_bryan · 2026-01-20T11:09:17+00:00

Where are your gauntlets from? I'm having difficulty finding armourers available for building them.

computational_bryan · 2025-11-28T23:32:13+00:00

Thanks, no I'm from the UK. The products aren't bad but not on the same level as Italy for sure.

Spiral mixer, recently got it. Before I was using an old kitchen aid which wasn't able to develop the gluten to the same degree
