Can I have access to your time machine? I promise not to kill Hitler, although I may sneak Schubert some antibiotics.

Which hand are your priests writing in? How hard was it for you to learn?

We call it Gothic cursive, it's basically the Danish variant of Kurrentschrift. It ranges from fairly easy to read to completely incomprehensible.

This is a Danish text from 1819 I've been transcribing recently:


Another from 1748:


And 1666:


So yeah, it depends heavily on the writer whether it'll be an easy read or not.

my first dev job i was 22 years old and actually hired on as a "marketing assistant," doing spreadsheets and some design and just generally being an office grunt. because i knew a little bit of HTML, i was also going to be trained to help the "website guy" with day-to-day things. about a month into my job, that guy got fired, and so i became the "website guy," and inherited a horrible e-commerce platform that was so mangled that it couldn't be upgraded to a new version, along with a custom php app. this was a company that was doing millions of dollars in sales nationally, and they expected me to handle this poo poo.

it loving sucked. i was given a lot of leeway in terms of being able to hire consultants to fix the poo poo i couldn't, but most of the time i was trying to figure out badly written php and the impossible beesnest of proprietary ecommerce software templating. i had never even heard of version control, so every update happened in production. i mean maybe if i knew how to code it would have been a better job.

anyway that was my intro to programming and decades later it's still my only marketable skill

Lada is a Russian car brand, and they have been a common sight on Finnish roads for decades due to our proximity to and relationship with the Soviet Union and later Russia. They have always had the reputation for being utterly godawful, made from poor components with bad quality control. But they were cheap, so that's what a lot of Finns drove.

My big Lada memory is riding home with a friend and his mum back in the mid 80s. When we were going down a steep hill, my friend's mum noticed that a loose wheel was rolling past the car and for a moment we were amused and concerned. Then we realized it was a wheel from our car and it was less funny.

Italian script weakens the eyes and is a fundamentally unserious script. Fraktur, on the other hand, is a real reading script. It is more compact so you can read faster and it does not cause nearsightedness. Also, despite popular imagination, the Nazis promoted the Italian script which is further proof of its fundamentally evil nature.

Man old handwriting styles were so cool & had such a pleasing aesthetic. I especially like how they’d start the first word of a paragraph with big, swooping artistic style, gives things more “personality” IMHO
