wait hang on who is thinking that vhs tapes had menu screens

Younger writers. Please, just know that you could not skip to different songs on a cassette tape, that’s CDs. With tapes you pressed fast forward or rewind and prayed.

Also, VHS tapes did not have menu screens. Your only options were play, fast forward, rewind, pause, stop, or eject.

Y’all are making me feel like the crypt keeper here, I’m begging you 😭

"sans-culotte origins"

*uses davout as example*

Berthier and Davout in Vienna 1805

Another brief snippet from Lulu von Thürheim's memoirs. In 1805, The Thürheim family had fled from their home close to Linz as far as Buda and Pest, when they unexpectedly received a visit from an old friend who brought them some news about the French occupation in Vienna:

He told us a lot of interesting details about the French invasion of Vienna. Neither their extraordinary politeness nor their cruelty corresponded to the truth. They were, like all enemies, demanding, thieving, impudent, in short, unpleasant guests. There are, however, some polite and selfless generals among them, but these are rare. Berthier, for example, pays for the slightest service rendered to him; he gives a florin a day to the servants of the house where he lives. In contrast to him, most generals cannot deny their sans-culotte origins. So Davoust, who is quartered with Count Czernin, immediately began to tear off the covers of the valuable furniture and have his boots polished on them.

Could it just be a badly worded indication that they're meant to be from the later part of the Napoleonic Wars? On the Amazon page they're dated 1812-1815 in the second and third images.

What does "Late" mean?
