  • It’s moreso that Jazz got torn apart for spare parts after it went mainstream. I’m quite literally listening to a Credence Clearwater Revival record right now to make sure it’s in good condition and the current song started up with a very Jazzy guitar. So if you aren’t really into jazz as a genre you probably aren’t gonna notice it since it kinda faded into the background culturally, kinda like funk, reggae, and bluegrass.










  • Best advice I can give is to look at online auctions, estate sales, and check out to see if there are any Goodwill’s near you that specialize in electronics. You can run a lot of modern games on 10 to 5 year old hardware, probably won’t be the prettiest build but hey if it works. Also remember you can always tear open a modern laptop for that sweet sweet storage.






  • Hey now dont do my boy Saint Nicholas dirty like that, he was an Anatolian Greek. The Turks were still firmly in central Asia during his lifetime, though Anatolian Turks are a mix of the of the nomadic Turks and Anatolian greeks it’s one of those things where the distinction is notable. It’d be like calling Vercingetorix French, like it’s not technically wrong from a regionalist perspective and his people did help form the French but it’s still wrong on a lot of levels.

    Also fun fact Saint Nicholas punch Arius in the face at the council of Nicea. Also his bones are now leaking and have been for awhile, though it’s probably two different things being merged into the same myth, they used to put certain oils into sarcophaguss back in his lifetime and it probably became a pilgrims tradition later on and his modern sarcophaguss in Italy probably works as a condenser for water.


  • The Latin and Greek speaking parts of the world probably had a word for purple by that point. Remember the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who would evolve into the medieval Anglo-Saxons were from around modern continental Denmark to about the modern Hanover region. This area didn’t really have the color purple all that much and frankly speaking Britain ain’t much better on that front, probably why it took till around the viking age to get a word for it since that’s when pan European trade started to pick up again to a large enough degree for purple dyes to start getting to Britain on a regular basis.



  • Given the fact that was the eastern borderlands of the Franks and covers roughly Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands I’m gonna assume the only connection to Austria these territory has is the Aust portion. Also Austria evolved out of Otto the Greats Holy Roman Empire not the Carolingian Empire though admittedly it does have its roots in Charlamagnes campaign against the Avars.

    Point is East is relative, the East Coast of Asia is to my West.
