GODAYUM IT SADDAM I AIN’T GIVING YOU NO TREE FIDDY!!

All alphabetical antecedents are appropriate and appreciated.

You know, I could do without the letter we’re referring to here. Plenty of other vowels to suit my needs.

You’re describing a few decades out of almost a thousand years of feudalism, in Europe specifically, and it wasn’t ever universally true.

A lot of things contributed to that. Not the least of which is the difference between what we’d consider a day off and what they’d consider a day off. Not to mention how they paid taxes and what was actually required of the medieval peasant.

Taxes could be paid in labor or produce. The guys doing the manual labor building a castle were likely to be paying taxes. They did that for up to a third of the year. The rest of the year was theirs to do with as they pleased, and the majority of that time would have been spent growing, gathering, hunting, or maintaining. Guild artisans had the closest thing to jobs that we’d think of them. Coopers made barrels, ropers roped. You had masons and blacksmiths and carpenters sure. Most people were growing and raising food, and maintaining their home. A day off was likely spent doing those things. They had so many partially because that time was needed intermittently.

They worked harder than we do. Every part of their life was harder, required more energy, and took more time.

Taking a day off to relax would have been exceedingly rare and probably maddeningly boring. Though they did party hard.

Just banks and federal employees.

You will of course be required to be in the office that day.

It takes an excruciatingly small amount of chocolate, if you add too much it just tastes like chocolate. But it is good. Same with a touch of cinnamon. Very small amounts just to add some depth.

American, not Hungarian.

Goulash is a common food in school lunch rooms and is like a tomato and meat sauce on elbow noodles. It’s not what you’re thinking goulash is, but it’s quite good.

It’s a bug with the android app.

I’ve seen it maybe 3 times in 8ish years on my phone. Never once in the TV app.

And a Sgt Harriman for good measure.

Drill bits are coated in tungsten carbide. Sometimes. There are a variety of coatings.

The drill bits you’re buying at the big box store are high speed still with some kind of coating to help them last a little longer. The specialty drill bits you’re buying for working on metal are also HSS with a different coating and probably different tip geometry.

End mills are milling/lathe inserts can be HSS or carbide, also with some tungsten coating. Importantly, these are sintered, and made out of dust.

Tungsten carbide is waaaay too brittle to work as a drill bit.

You ain’t putting it anywhere. It’s getting delivered and staying where they put it.

A single 5 foot cube of tungsten would weigh about as much as an above average sized single family home.

This is great and advisable.

But what about online only games that can be nuked whenever the publisher feels like it?

On the inverse I’ve found it to be quite bad at that. I can generally count on the AI answer to be wrong, fundamentally.

Might depend on your industry. It’s garbage at g code.

My money is still on Paul Le Roux.

Head of garlic in to 2 sticks of butter on the stove, in to the potatoes when they’re ready. Skins and all.

Nommmmmm

Kinda depends how you like your potatoes. I generally like them a little lumpy, but I think the twelve or so of us in the lumpy crew nationwide lose that fight every Thanksgiving.

But! The ineffective ass potato masher does a real good job of breaking up ground meat in to super tiny bits in the pan for stuff like Taco meat.

Is it really Plato or just his shadow?
