Not mine, I should say, it was made as a present for a December birthday girl.

Who will flip when arriving home and finding this surprise waiting for her.

@smj@mastodon.sdf.org Near zero C, 32 F in the region here today, freezing rain and slick roads all over.

Dangerous driving, pain to clear windshields.

@realcaseyrollins That makes you think what a drag it is for site Staff, who have to keep an eye on all posts.

I plan to volunteer for mod staff, and then wouldn't be kosher to have posts unseen on a local instance feed. but for now, it's ok and freshens things up nicely.

@realcaseyrollins Some annoyances that I feel better not seeing in my local feed.

Hence, used Mute a local user.

I see, new one morphing into the old one. Cool. :thumbsup_hmn_h2:

The one on your post is not the final version, possibly?

@moonshine@freespeechextremist.com

@Absinthe Cool, thank you for posting. Hadn't heard of it till now.

From their About page:

Curious about how much things costed in Medieval Age? A list of assorted common articles, all in English coinage of the time. Sourced from historical books.

Hardest part is making sense of the shillings, pence, farthings and what not!

"Money goes as follows:
1 pound (L) = 20 shillings (s)

1 crown = 5 shillings
1 shilling = 12 pence (d)
1 penny = 4 farthings
1 mark = 13s 4d"

Yeah, that is perfectly reasonable, if the person hadn't seen the article or the logo on TV.

Crossed my mind too: A log on the X, hold it while I saw it (the F).

@realcaseyrollins

@mngrif Put my vote in, the gear I have is all of one of the mentioned brands. I like it.

@realcaseyrollins I like the design, it's very modern.

In 3D version, even better. Now, how will their audience react?

@realcaseyrollins Uhm, could I ask for a one line description of why I should open another tab (on top of the zillions currently open here), and one into a Google (doNotBeEvil, yeah right) property?

/me likes reads more than videos...

@freemo Forgot to mention that it lighted an interest on me for many aspects of that epoch. I purchased a number of other books, seeking more info.

Leibnitz and Newton's relationship and correspondence is mentioned in the novel too.

@freemo It certainly is. Big read, at about 3,000 for all 3 volumes, but he's a great writer.

For someone who likes historical fiction or novels, it's lots of fun.

Neal wrote it all by hand, fountain pen on loose paper, and it came in at about 5,000 pages for the complete manuscript.

It's one of my most favourite books ever.
