hey guys remember there is an offline version of the FAYDE! Remember that if, say, ZA/um decided that a freely explorable website with all the Discoed Elysiums dialogue you could eat was a business threat to their shitty mobile app, they can issue a digital milenium copyright act takedown against a website but they can never issue one against I file you already downloaded onto your computer, that you own :)

Right now the off-air FAYDE requires Ruby interpreter to run which isn't super convenient but if any shit hits the fan I will do my level best to make, idk, an executable in Pascal or something that can use the same database. disclaimer: my level best sucks ass

The Masting Sheer

The counterpart to the floating Sheer hulk was the Masting sheer. A crane permanently installed on land, it was used to lift a mast and place it inside a ship. Like the Sheer Hulk, the Masting Sheer was established in the 17th century and was an important part of every shipyard. As the number of ships built increased, the masting sheer was supported by the sheer hulk.  

An 80-gun ship under the masting sheer at the beginning of the 19th century, by Jean-Jérôme Baugean (1764 - 1819)

The crane was usually built directly on land or placed on top of a small stone building to achieve the necessary height and stability to lift a mast. Once lifted, the ship was positioned so that the mast could be inserted into the hull without any problems.

They were initially powered by treadwheels and later by capstans, but later during the 19th century the manpower was replaced by steam.

In the late 19th century, the increasing size and capacity of general harbour cranes began to overlap with the lofty but lightweight masting sheer and so their specialisation was no longer required.

Some people might think I’m an optimist but I’m not. I’m a realist that’s going to try to increase the good things in this world if it kills me.

Did you know that horses are still used for logging? Not just as a way to keep traditional handicrafts alive, but because horses are genuinely better at some jobs than machines?

Horses are much gentler on sensitive ecosystems, they're more flexible in rocky terrain, and they don't topple over on a hillside.

They can enter dense forests and drag out one specific tree without damaging the other trees and without compacting or eroding the soil.

They also run on hay instead of gas or electricity. Horses don't pollute the ecosystem with either oil leaks, gas stench, or noise.

In conclusion, draft horses are awesome c:

Rescue at Sea, date unk., by Thomas Rose Miles (1844 - 1916, English)

Wanderer below the Echo-sea

The wanderer now stood at the edge of the world. Already he was surrounded by the Echo that spun out his mind into threads that went entangling with all the things around him. He felt the plants as his body exerted pressure on them, the rocks as his feet set stones tumbling into the tide, the wind as it broke its smooth flow around him. The sea felt his feet as it's tides rose up the rock. Everything felt everything, everything saw everything, remembered everything because there was no such thing as distinction so deep in the Echo.

Since I've mentioned it a few times already, I thought I'd show something that more explicitly depicts what it is that the Echo does.
