for real, is that part of the etymology on snot? because split pea soup looks like snot from when you're really sick and is about as appetizing to consume

thomas crapper was an early giant of toilets, helped popularize the idea that indoor plumbing was a desirable idea and has his name emblazoned all over a ton of period toilets and it has absolutely nothing to do with the word "crap" or calling toilets "crappers". only so many sounds at the end of the day and coincidences happen

That soup looks decent enough, definitely seen worse American food. 7+ hour cook time? I'm unsure if those are supposed to be carrots floating there or a tube of pork product. Nevertheless it's hard to go wrong with lentils or lentil-adjacent soup in general. Might have to make this a snert-helg weekend. :yum:

There's a method where you leave cider outside in the winter and skim off whatever doesn't freeze to use as liquor

still a proud tradition, jacking the ice in cider to produce applejack. it sucks though, freeze distillation only removes the water from the solution, so you concentrate everything. more alcoholic but also more full of horrible byproducts and stuff.

Yakhchāl would get loaded with ice in the winter and could keep it frozen through the summer months, but couldn't chill water below freezing on their own iirc.

It's pretty astounding to think about how millions today could (mostly) descend from only a few hundred people who lived hundreds, not thousands of years ago.

I saw some population figures for medieval Finland and it was estimated to just 20,000–40,000 people. That's just a small town nowadays.
Granted, that figure is probably on the very low end.

You sure they did not mean withing the borders at the time? The Duchy of Finland was initially just the southwestern tip of what would become Finland.

That, or it matters a lot exactly what you mean by medieval Finland. Finland apparently grew spectacularly compared to Sweden between AD 1000 and 1500, so it really might just have been near empty the years you were looking at.

It was supposed to be about 1150, I don't know the specifics of that. It might be way too low. But if 350 Jews can turn into millions then surely 40 000 Finns could.
