Why Was Violin Making The Worst Stuart Era Job? | Worst Jobs In History | Timeline

Tony Robinson examines disgusting occupations from Stuart times, including saltpetre men who collected urine and dug up latrines to gather the gunpowder ingredient potassium nitrate. He also looks at the petardier's assistant, who had to blow the gates off besieged castles, and discovers the modern violin was only made possible because string-makers rummaged for their raw materials in the guts of dead sheep.

    Yep. Honestly it’s amazing how useful so many natural resources are for things we now use synthetic/artificially made chemicals for. In some cases it’s bc either we use so much of an ingredient it wouldn’t be possible/environmentally friendly to harvest the entire amounts needed OR it’s bc there simply isn’t enough of the environment the natural resource is found in left to produce the quantities needed. But the 3 PRIMARY REASONS the vast majority of companies don’t use natural ingredients is...MONEY , TIME & availability of the natural ingredients in the quantities needed. Which is WHY product which are truly 100% natural costs so much more.😕

    There was a gunpowder mill outside the town I grew up in. You could occasionally smell it when the wind was just right. We called it the Stink Mill. The smell was indescribably horrible. I can still sort of remember the penetrating stench in the back of my throat. Now I know why. It also blew up every few years... one of my neighbors was killed in an explosion back in the early 1970 s

    Incredible....... I've done so many jobs in my life, but I realize now I've been spared the truly horrible ones. One of my worst was working in an animal hospital when I was 11 years old, cleaning the cages of the animals being 'wormed', after being given something to purge their bodies. Another was simply cutting up chickens at the local market when I was 15. But it was done in a room where the temperature was lowered very chilly, and soon I lost all my appetite for eating dinner, especially meat. It lasted about 6 days before I walked! Thank you Tony for the education, as well as the entertainment, which is true of course for all your films...... Bravo!

Being torn to bits and eaten alive, always in fear of the predator that will inevitably bring it's demise. After watching a few large beasts be attacked & eaten alive by wild hyena or hogs.. it's a thought that human consumption should be done humanely, where we get food and the animal gets a safe, happy life until the end. Win win. It seems when we think about humans not killing animals for food, we imagine them out frolicking in a field of daisies, living to a ripe old age and dying a peaceful natural death. That's rarely the case.. and I'm the weirdo female that catches spiders, moths, even sugar ants & takes them outside... I feed even the slugs that come onto my porch after a rain lol I love animals more than general humanity..

    Not sure how rickety the scaffolds were for Thornhill. But I’ve seen drawings and explanations of how Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel was painted and he basically had a level floor up there. He wasn’t hanging off of anything. The floor was actually close enough to the ceiling that he could lay on his back. The Sistine Chapel isn’t as high up as St Paul’s and the dome would introduce difficulties but it was also a long time after the Sistine Chapel was painted. Not sure why he’d be hanging off of rickety narrow scaffolds...

    Worst thing is there is still violence against living beings, including cats to this day. I read from a Finnish history magazine an article regarding superstition about cats that apparently even today tens of thousands of black cats are killed in Italy each year. I also have heard that in Spain people hang hunting dogs when they become too old. And of course humans still aren't safe from superstition motivated violence. There is this woman in Nigeria for example called Helen Ukpabio who still believes witches are real and has tortured suspected children. This has even been done inside churches. I don't even want to list all the violence and oppression organized religion still causes generally.

    @8:55 : The Tippmann 98 Custom. An EXCELLENT work horse of a Semi for any Site / Scenario rental, that and the A5 you can't go far wrong with. Easy [comparitively] to strip clean, do field repairs on etc. Parts are very affordable and very available too. These Markers are a great first own [CO2] [these don't suffer near as bad as others from frost seizing as any others if you're trigger happy on CO2] for a Semi option for the wannabe Walk On player on a budget. Get started with one of these and if it turns out you get hooked enough to save up for something special, you'll at least be getting game play and experience whilst you save the mega bucks a full spec tournament Marker's gonna cost you and you'll have the game time in to know which Markers you're being taken out by most so as to make a well educated upgrade purchase that actually suits you. It's an ideal spare Marker to have clean and ready to roll too, should your fancy one go down and need more attention than your turn around time allows [between games]. The Tippmann can get your game played so you can fix your fancy main Marker in less rush. When you get one of these, or a lot of them if you're doing the rentals, learn it, know how to strip clean / service it and carry a few spares, ESPECIALLY O-Rings and ideally springs, you can put your own parts kit together cheaper than buying a kit, which will likely have parts you'll not wear / bugger up in a hurry starting with a new / nicely refurbed Tippmann. As long as you swap out the O-Rings [I suggest swap for Teflon rings where you can, but keeping ]rubbers' is smart since they're much easier in a hurry and can be swapped back when you have unrushed time to get your baby back at it's sexiest] at the slightest sign of wear [nicks, rough spots, slackness], these are the least troublesome starter Marker ever. These Markers will run and run. In fact, I overhauled about a hundred of them for one Operator who hadn't had them strip cleaned for over 6 full punter days play and only about half a dozen of them WOULDN'T have been good to go in the state they were in [albeit not performing best accuracy / range] BEFORE I touched them. I still full serviced the lot and the cost of spares for the whole hundred was negligible really. If you're going to compete, I definitely suggest adding an 'Anti Tamper' on the back of these, when I was Judging, you'd have been chronied on and off and the velocity adjuster would have had to be more than hand tight before I'd have let you on my fields competing with one. Out of the box, you can still lock the velocity acceptably anyway, but I really couldn't count the amount of players I've sent back to tighten those and chronied again. In testing amongst consenting adults, all Pro Judges, Tippmanns will behave fine and without quirks at 360 fps on CO2 at 10°C in Woodland, UK. For educational research only, of course. Expensive Markers, tricked up some, have a lot more going on with them that can go wrong or need regular accurate adjustment and expensive spares, don't always keep players fully 'in game' it must be noted, especially in Winter Woodland play. Useful to keep your Tippmann with you to fall back on when your upgrade is being temperamental. Looked after and in the hands of a decent player, these Tippmanns can be very tasty. It's kinda 'The AK47 Of Paintball Markers', no ?
