(and boy why do I always become blank when I'm tagged in these things?)

Uhhhhhhhhh I've seen people in public going through you lots blogs— with lots of oh and wooh and sometimes I think when they read something completely gory and not something humans should be so happy about, they sort of look around like dear in headlights and then try to school that completely interested in insane smile out (and fail until like two minutes when they have to leave because that's when they close their phone). And I've also seen people in public going through my main blog with expressions that make me want to kill everyone (this strange mix of pity and antipathy mixed with a painful sort of understanding I can't stand)

I literally can't think of anything else right now so.

My family, as i once said already, doesn't trust me at the stove. This is half because i'm a very picky eater and scientific cook and so i know how to cook like 5 foods scientifically (this means that i weight water, salt and use timers for the cooking time).

The other reason is because early on i had a tendency to explode things.

I exploded:

several cups of hot chocolate in the microwave

more than a pot of rice

once caused a grease fire more recently as i was frying

a couple of pots of pasta don't ask me why

I never burnt anything toh!

I have a lot of moles on my body. Like, a LOT. On one shoulder, my moles SORT OF resemble the Orion constellation if you really squint.

I care a lot about voices in people. I can be either really disturbed or turned on by them depending on how they sound like.

A random fact about me is I have a sensitive sense of smell. Anything that has a strong scent bothers me a lot, especially food. I won't eat it if the smell is too strong

I had a cool microscope named Emilie that i used to look into my water filter

Louis Nicolas Davout

Mikhail Kutuzov

Klemens von Metternich

Celebrated surgeon of early 19th century Britain who not only improved on surgical techniques (Liston knives are used for amputation to this day) but also performed one of the first operations using ether as an anesthetic and thus helped popularize its use.

Today however he's mostly remembered for outlandish incidents, which have little to none actual historical basis.

Every time I hear/read informational content that mentions him as the guy that killed three people during an operation (tm), I internally die a little.

There are no primary sources for the 300 % mortality incident. If such a thing truly did happen, it would certainly have been mentioned, at least by some medical journals at the time. The historian Dr. Michael Brown did a thorough deep-dive on the claim:

[..] account of an apocryphal operation in which his obsession with speed supposedly led to the deaths of the patient, an assistant, and a bystander are taken, virtually word for word, from a book written by the anaesthetist and Doctor in the House author Richard Gordon (1921 - 2017). This book, Great Medical Disasters (1983), which contains a brief three-page sketch of the man, is the source of much modern Liston folklore.

-Emotions and Surgery in Britain, 1792-1912

In the few sources that are given for this 1983 book, there are no mentions of the 300% mortality operation. It appears that Gordon pulled the story out of his ass made it up or decided to write down an unsubstantiated claim he must have heard somewhere.

The sources that Gordon actually does mention in his book, which primarily talk of Liston's exaggerated showmanship (such him commanding the spectators to time him before an operation) were also written in the early 20th century. They appear to have been greatly exaggerated and do not seem to line up much with actual accounts of the time.

Now, I am not saying that Liston was a perfect man, far from it. But this idea that he was carelessly speedrunning surgeries and cutting people left and right is not really accurate

Emperor Napoléon III had a serious passion for railroads, seeing them as key to France's rapid modernization during the Industrial Revolution. When he crowned himself emperor in 1852, France had a modest 2,000 miles of track. But in just a few years, he dramatically expanded that to over 12,000 miles! Under Napoléon III's reign, even farmers could travel by train.

He achieved this by merging several smaller rail lines into six major companies, all centered around Paris. An each of these companies even provided the Emperor with his own dedicated train. The first imperial train arrived in 1855 from the Compagnie du Nord, followed by one in 1856 from the Compagnie Paris-Orléans, and a third in 1857 from the Compagnie de l'Est.

Exterior:

Interesting enough this train car that Napoléon III and Empress Eugenie paraded alongside Queen Victoria. This same train car was still used during the third republic and this wagon was attached to Marshal Foch's train in 1917 and sent it in 1918 to fetch the Germans who were to sign the armistice.

If you know your history you know that the famous train car No. 2419 D, where Marshal Foch dictated the text of the armistice to the defeated Germans no longer exists, the train car that belonged to Napoléon III, still remains at the "Hameau du vin" station created by Georges Duboeuf.

Exterior:

These set of train-car belonged to the emperor's seven-train cars , decorated in deep red, ultramarine blue, and gilded bronze, had its first journey between Paris and Bayonne in June 1856. This personal imperial train was Commissioned by the Paris-Orléans company, it was built under the guidance of chief engineer Camille Polonceau, with its exquisite interior designed by the famous Viollet-le-Duc.
