Phenotype posted:So hey, for the serial killer goons out there, how awful is it to die from being boiled? Well the pirate was thrown in water that wasn't boiling, i'd assume it takes a good while to boil a 500 liter(?) cauldron. So he was boiled like a frog, not a lobstah

muscles like this! posted:My understanding is that lobsters are more like bugs where their nervous systems aren't really developed enough to feel what we would call "pain." don't know about those cold water lobsters, but in the tropics we put crayfish on ice or in a saltwater and ice slurry. They go to sleep right quick and eventually die from it. Then you chop them, pull them apart or boil them. If you do it with crabs they don't throw their claws and legs from the shock of the boiling water.

Cojawfee posted:All you have to do is watch the videos of people keeping lobsters or crabs as pets and you will see that they have personalities. They don't have advanced intelligence, but there is thought in their tiny brains and they don't deserve to be boiled alive without being knocked out or killed first. They probably should of evolved to something less delicious then Stegosnaurlax fucked around with this message at 05:53 on Mar 4, 2024 |

I think it's more he respected him as a pilot and he was still a prisoner surrounded by Japanese. Not exactly smort to kill the only person you can get information from.

Revenge of the Bushido Blade was kind of the first western written and produced ninja film, but not really a ninja film. 1980 Chuck was in the first American action Ninja movie. The Octogon 1980 Japan had a slew of them in the early to mid 60's, then You Only Live Twice had them as henchmen

I watched The Fall of Ako Castle starring Sonny Chiba again lastnight. Which is ther other movie based on 47 Ronin, set 102 years after this show during Tokugawa Tsunayoshi's reign. The costumes are mental, there's so much talk of revenge and hara-kari, which is pretty much the whole theme of the movie. A+ would recommend

Arglebargle III posted:Re-enactors have shown pretty convincingly (at least to me) that the filth of medieval and early modern Europeans is overblown. We clean ourselves by immersing our bodies in water every day, so when we hear that past Europeans didn't do that, we assume they didn't clean themselves. It's projection. Early modern Europeans did have working noses and were aware of cleaning themselves, but they did it by sponge baths and rubbing their bodies with cloth, which would then be washed. 'In such circumstances, nice smells were very welcome. In Gervase Markham’s popular 17th century work, The English Housewife, he writes how to make pomanders (which you carry around and sniff if near a particularly foul stench): "To make pomanders, take two pennyworth of labdanum, two pennyworth of storax liquid, one pennyworth of calamus aromaticus, as much balm, half a quarter of a pound of fine wax, of cloves and mace two pennyworth, of liquid aloes three pennyworth, of nutmegs eight pennyworth, and of musk four grains; beat all these exceedingly together till they come to a perfect substance, then mould it in any fashion you please and dry it." ' -1615

Burns posted:About the cannon. Back in uni we had a class project about the Spanish Armada. I recall that the Spanish used larger or heavier cannon and thus a heavier shot on their warships. English cannon tended to use a smaller shot, but the cannon themsevles were longer barrels. English cannon tended to have more range and accuracy but generally had difficutly actually penetrating a Spanish ship at range. English cannon was good for destroying sails and rigging though. I can't find much info on mining deposits arround 1600, But they opened a copper mine after 1610 and the Shogun being given a gift of some they had extracted. So i doubt they had the capability to make more bronze cannons at the time

Arglebargle III posted:Tokugawa is kind of like an Augustus figure in that yes, he killed a large number of people and mercilessly exterminated his political rivals, but his hegemony ended a period of civil war and inaugurated an era of peace and prosperity. I'm not really a cannon guy, but were the English navy using iron or bronze in 1600? i was under the impression they were still using bronze.

FLIPADELPHIA posted:There are various explanations on the hair thing, the one that seems to be most popular (but not definitive) is that it's a fashion that grew out of period hats / helmets fitting better with a partially shaved scalp. The theory is that it prevented the headgear from sliding around while riding / fighting. I thought that was the really stiff top knot

Man is a horrible monster but he’s just such a lovable idiot you just forgive the murder Seems like more of a murder/captial punishment, tomayto/tomahto deal. He's a lord and they are pretty big on executions as a punishment for pretty much anything.

Ravenfood posted:Also, skilled pilots were immensely valuable resources. If his ship is initiating a boarding action, he should be about as far from the action as possible and if his ship is being boarded, he is definitely in the class of people who the attackers would rather capture/surrender. When he is talking with Rodriguez you can get a sense of how important they are and how much cross-national, cross-religion professional respect there is. Like the real guy he was a pilot master of the fleet, so he was even more important

I think it’s projecting 21st century rationalism onto 16th century dudes to whom “pick up a cutlass and get stuck in with the rest of us or you’re a coward and we hate you” is a more important rule than “FFS don’t let the navigator get merked”. Your man is going to fight if need be, but he's not swining over the side in the first wave.

Nice Tuckpointing! posted:The entire show is sumptuous, but I really liked this one simple shot (spoilering it because of the scene it's in, though the shot itself is not a spoiler). It comes after numerous shots from a different angle, and the subtle outline of his armor in the background is just nice. There's so much art in the way everything is done. I don't mean just the production. The customs, the craftsmanship of the era, the rigid preparation of everything from food to council meetings, even casual conversations. Every aspect of their lives is a performance, it is so stress inducing for someone who is unorganised and undisciplined. For someone like Blackthrone it must be like landing on an alien planet, because 400 years later it blows my mind.
