On the high seas this was a dangerously precarious procedure wherein a seaman was put into a bosun’s chair and dangled over the side. The duty was assigned as a punishment so the expression might be said from one sailor to another, equivalent to saying, “You’re in deep shit now!” And thus the related expression, “caught between the devil and the deep blue sea.”

@@CapriUni ~And lastly, here’s fascinating bit of historical relevance I read recently: The US standard railroad gauge (distance between the rails) is 4 feet, 8.5 inches. That's an exceedingly odd number. Why was that gauge used? Well, because that's the way they built them in England, and English engineers designed the first US railroads. Why did the English build them like that? Because the first rail lines were built by the same people who built the wagon tramways, and that's the gauge they used. So, why did 'they' use that gauge then? Because the people who built the tramways used the same jigs and tools that they had used for building wagons, which used that same wheel spacing. Why did the wagons have that particular odd wheel spacing? Well, if they tried to use any other spacing, the wagon wheels would break more often on some of the old, long distance roads in England . You see, that's the spacing of the wheel ruts. So who built those old rutted roads? Imperial Rome built the first long distance roads in Europe (including England ) for their legions. Those roads have been used ever since. And what about the ruts in the roads? Roman war chariots formed the initial ruts, which everyone else had to match or run the risk of destroying their wagon wheels. Since the chariots were made for Imperial Rome , they were all alike in the matter of wheel spacing. Therefore the United States standard railroad gauge of 4 feet, 8.5 inches is derived from the original specifications for an Imperial Roman war chariot. Bureaucracies live forever. So the next time you are handed a specification/procedure/process and wonder 'What horse's ass came up with this?', you may be exactly right. Imperial Roman army chariots were made just wide enough to accommodate the rear ends of two war horses. (Two horses' asses.) Now, the twist to the story: When you see a Space Shuttle sitting on its launch pad, there are two big booster rockets attached to the sides of the main fuel tank. These are solid rocket boosters, or SRBs. The SRBs are made by Thiokol at their factory in Utah . The engineers who designed the SRBs would have preferred to make them a bit fatter, but the SRBs had to be shipped by train from the factory to the launch site. The railroad line from the factory happens to run through a tunnel in the mountains, and the SRBs had to fit through that tunnel. The tunnel is slightly wider than the railroad track, and the railroad track, as you now know, is about as wide as two horses' behinds. So, a major Space Shuttle design feature, of what is arguably the world's most advanced transportation system, was determined over two thousand years ago by the width of a horse's ass. And you thought being a horse's ass wasn't important? Ancient horse's asses control almost everything......

It's not that they didn't figure out pottery, it's that it was extremely impractical to carry around what is basically rocks if you're a nomaduc society. Only one ever did, Japan, but they didn't embrace agriculture until like 2000 years ago.

15:28 Small addition, in India this was done on a flat plate and one would put a handful of wheat seeds and sort them by hand to remove any stones or sand particles. This was mostly done by the women in the household when the men were farming in the fields. This was very relevant till the 1980s and even till the 1990s until more modernized methods were evolved and we started getting milled grain directly in packets. Even today in some parts of India this is still done by hand. I admire the hard work that took to keep a family fed. I remember my Mother doing this and I help her out, we used to get our wheat in sacks, and many times it was not so clean, and my Mom used to clean it before sending it out to a "chakki" milling shop.

Thank you Adam - these two segments that you've made are amongst the most fascinating I've seen on KZread. This also gives me insane appreciation for my ancestors who would have slaved in rice fields of southern India. To this date, much of the harvesting process for small farmers in India continues to be exactly like you outlined - with the addition of some smart, but non-power based, hand-held tools.

Adam, I have loved your videos for years! I am weekly looking forward to Mondays and Thursdays.

underrated comment

I absolutely love when you explain some of the history behind the video topic. You should think about doing a collaboration with Max from Tasting History. You guys are two of my favorite KZreadrs who make food related videos and I think your ‘styles’ would mesh well together

i have never seen a video - showcasing these many details! Great effort! You are a gem!

Really great content. I especially like how you explore each step of the process, as well as exploring your own difficulties with it. Great job.

I don't understand? Are phones not supposed to be in the sunlight?

This video bread-making video has been fascinating. I've always wondered why small scale agriculture never really became a thing, and why agriculture only took off around 13,000 years ago despite anatomically-modern humans existing for 300,000 years, and the stone age starting over 3 million years ago. You need enough people, and enough grains to even have a chance of feeding a decently sized population. So much wasted time, energy, effort, and food if it goes wrong. Which with early farms it probably did. I can imagine a tribe of neolithic hunter-gatherers coming across a starving tribe who told them stories about how they had a nice settlement until their crops failed. The average hunter-gatherer tribe apparently had around 100-150 members. Cities would have had a few thousand. It's a pretty big jump from feeding 100 people to feeding a few thousand people. And a huge jump to go from regularly and reliably feeding a city to feeding a whole empire. Like, these hunter-gatherers had the same brains we do, they weren't stupid.

I am not able to describe how I appreciate your videos, Adam

Excellent Video Adam. Very complementary to the first video on Growing Wheat. I appreciate the time and labor involved in making this video. Thank you. I look forward to your "pottery" video !

Food and agricultural history is my new obsession lol.

Him using his phone to play the notes brings certain flashbacks

really enjoying the mind movie of your neighbors coming up to greet the new family in town, and finding you sifting wheat by a box fan.

This was a really super interesting series, Adam - I love the blend of food science and history and hands on experience. I'm looking forward to the pottery episode!

God damn these videos are getting more educating by the minute. Such an interesting topic and so well explained. Really looking forward to the next one in this series if there is one

In Britain we call a "shock" a "sheaf" (at least in my part of Britain we do.)

I’ve heard both terms used in the US. 😀

been on this channel since 60k and honestly haven't been disappointed by a video yet. this was fascinating honestly.

Dr. Catherine Zabinski seems like a really cool lady.. Thanks for contributing to the video!

"You like to play the ponies, huh?". 😁

it physically hurts how adam doesn't have a case on his phone, as he lets it hang out on rocks - literal glass on rocks

I LOVE this new direction for the channel!!

growing up on a farm myself watching Adam showcase how food reaches your plate is a very positive thing

Did you weigh how much "feed" you used at the beginning of the project? I'd love to know what your yield ratio was

9:00 Interesting that this is the same method on how Filipino farmers dry rice. While it's very economical, residue like rocks can get in the harvest.

When I was a kid, I used to play in the tall grass, in the vacant lot in the neighborhood. After watching this video, I recognize that it was actually grains, straw and hay... not 'grass'. I think mainly what you captioned as 'rye'. It was good to grow up in a country in which grain was so abundant that it grew unattended in vacant lots. "America! America! God shed His grace on thee"

These two videos were so good. Some of his best work

What happened to "whom I shall now thank"? I enjoyed that line.

Next stage: growing pepper and boil sea water to get salt for seasoning your cutting board not your steak

Very few peoples would boil sea-water, the easiest way to get salt from the sea, is to dig very shallow ponds in the sand, wait that the tides just cover them in water, and then that the sun will evaporate that water. And you have salt ^^ Well, taht's a really simplified way at least XD It's called salterns.

I'm really liking this series of ancient methods. Looking forward to the pottery video.

This bread series is great! Keep up the good work.
