@hazardwarning Very good point. My gut feeling is that before settled agriculture, population density was so low that it wouldn’t have been an issue. Afterwards, of course, you need armies to defend your grain.
Because I definitely need another project right now.
@hazardwarning I'm unreasonably excited and terrified by the whole thing, fearing I may have bitten off more than I can chew, as it were.
Under a blanket with all the doors and windows shut and the fan turned off is not where I want to be on a 34 °C afternoon, but needs must. And it was for only 10 minutes.
@japchap It is still very much a work in progress. Today, for example, was a bust; I have only just finished writing something. But in general, I try to finish something after my work and before I open email or look at anything social. That might be a first draft, or an edit, either for a pyaing client or for myself. Usually takes about two hours, more or less. And if it is a first draft of something longer than about 1000 words, I'll break it into chunks of about 1000 words and consider that quite a good something.
After that, anything goes. I might come back to writing and editing, I might not. Often, what I research in the afternoon is geared to what I'll write tomorrow.

@matigo I'd probably need a tutorial, and I reckon so would most other people. But, yes.
