Huh?

It’s not even that much work, to be honest.

I wouldn’t run 6 fireplaces at once, maybe two or three at most, and aside from chopping and carrying the wood inside, there’s not that much work in it. Just set a few pieces nicely with a piece of paper (think jenga style more than a cartoon bonfire), se it alight. Let it breathe for a while, get a good flame, then fill 'er up once it’s going nicely. I mean, depending on how hot you want the room. I’d never actually shove them full, about halfway at most maybe. Then let it burn. Then fill it up a second and maybe third time in the winter, then just let it cool while stoking the coals.

It really doesn’t feel like work.

And now I’m nostalgic.

But yeah temperature would be the least of your worries as king imo. Perhaps not the least, but a small one anyway.

People don’t even need AC on the latitude I live in.

It’s basically two winters and August.

Literally for most of the year I wear the same amount of outdoor clothing, which is a lot.

Dc++ as well

Fireplaces create a wonderful soft warmth. Unless you live in some huge castle or it’s completely blowing through your house, warming the house with fireplaces is great. Even when there are some small drafts here and there in the house. Just wear warm socks as the floors are usually quite cool despite the room being toasty from the heat.

Then you tend the fire for some time, long enough for the fire to properly warm all the stone around it. (Even in wooden houses, the central chimney would be rather thick at the bottom where the fireplaces are, so the stones store heat during the night.)

You stoke the coals and then when it’s just red coals and no more burning, you can shut down the chimney, so the rest of the heat stays in.

It slowly dissipates through the night. (But you won’t get carbon monoxide poisoning, which is why it’s important to have the chimney open while there’s actual fire.) It might get a bit cool around the morning hours, but sleeping in the cool is actually pretty decent.

Waking up in the cold is a bitch though.

We had uhm… two chimneys and six fireplaces in the house I (mostly) grew up in. Was built in the 30’s.

You could’ve probably purchased bottom surgery, sort of.

But the quality would’ve been, eh, less satisfactory, I would presume, and you’d have died of infection in like two weeks.

My point here being you’d surely have been able to persuade some quack to take sharp implements to you with enough gold. Royalty did crazy shit back then.

But yah I’m on your side on this. Being in power in an age we romanticise might seem. Until you remember that if you fall down and scratch your knee, you could die of that with bad luck.

Healthcare systems and governments might be shit nowadays but the level of medical technology is so vastly superior that it’s the obvious choice.

Congrats on what I gather was probably a lot of work, of all sorts. Enjoy.

I’m pretty sure that only applies due to a majority of people being morons. There’s a vast gap between the 2% most intelligent, 1/50, and the average intelligence.

black on white, ew

I would help this guy describe the sensation as a “squelch”.

I also used to hear my heartbeat in my ears pretty much all the time and at 18 had “the blood pressure or an 80-year old woman” but since I went wheat and dairy free I’ve none of that.

“Gluten-free” isn’t just a Karen fad. I used to very much believe so, until I read about NCGS and tried an GFCF diet. (Gluten free casein free.) I also avoid all wheat derived products, some of which are labeled as gluten-free. It’s a bitch to hunt down basic ham because most of it here in Europe is processed with dextrose made from wheat, whereas in the US, they also use dextrose but it’s derived from corn.

Yeah. Some places.

I thought this guy’s wife was a bit gamey, I actually prefer the fruity smell yours has,

Are you saying elimination diets as in eliminating a certain thing from your diet?

Just avoid everything, idk. I went on a exclusion diet in which I only had like this bean based protein drink and some candy I was pretty sure was allergen free.

But for instance if you have a wheat allergy, gluten free products won’t necessarily be enough, just like lactose-free products aren’t necessarily enough when you’re allergic to milk.

There are lots of products which are under the 20mg/kg for gluten and labeled “gluten free” but which I can’t have, because they’re still wheat based. There’s even “gluten free wheat” now, as they’ve managed to isolate most of the gluten away. That’s okay for celiacs, but not for people with wheat allergy.

I’m equally annoyed at having problems pinning down what I’m allergic to. I know it’s not red wine, tomatoes nor meat though, and I’ve found Rummo pasta made from whole-grain rice to be pretty nice. So that’s pretty much my diet now. Redwine based tomato sauces and pasta. And not even parmesan with it.

so I can now put my spicy pillows in the oven and tell the insurance men the internet told me to?

I guess it’s a lot to do with personal taste. Garlic doesn’t overpower things easily for me. And as long as the other flavours are in balance, you can make it almost as strong as you want, as long as you remember to have some food with your spices.

Pronunciation with lef- is common in Britain, and spellings to reflect it date back to 14c., but the origin of this is a mystery (OED rejects suggestion that it comes from old confusion of -u- and -v-).

I’m not, because I share that identity and am culturally allowed to joke about it, but still don’t find your joke funny.
