Not a bad recommendation, I’ll be sure to check it out.

Any links or search terms would be appreciated.

Oh ofc not. Check the video in my comment from the timestamp.

Making soap would be just one item. It’d be somewhat challenging to make literally everything you need from scratch. Not impossible but, challenging.

Making potash didn’t seem that complex tbh.

You and me both brother. Albeit I still have this silly notion of educating others and perhaps not everything sucking as bad in the future. But that’s the naive kid in me.

I’m pretty sure I could make soap. Catch a deer, process it properly, render a good measure of fat somewhere, the good white fat you scratch from the top.

Make potash; Drip water through hardwood ashes in a bucket with a filtered hole. Boil the collected brown liquid until a fresh egg floats in.

Then

Make Soap: Heat the fat until melted. Slowly stir in the potash liquid. Boil and stir until it thickens into a heavy paste (it will likely be a soft/liquid soap).

But that’s just one utility item, and a daily one. All the toothpaste and other cleaning supplies as well and whatnot. Ofc you could get basics from companies which abide by your morals, if such exist.

Here’s a not wholly unrelevant thing from J Draper on utube

It’s about a large victorian households needs for servants and the timestamped bit talks of outdoor servants so like who would’ve hunted the game and maybe made potash idk

I mean, you could just learn to make your own soap?

It’s not that hard, just a bit labour intensive at times. But if you actually hunted game you might actually have the ingredients as extra. And you could easily still have it be nice soap, by also having a garden and making simple extracts from plants like jasmine and whatnot for scents.

I’m kinda jealous about some American “homesteaders” at times, because America is just way better for that, geographically and bureaucratically than Finland. Not that I could afford it anyway but… A man can dream.

But he was always sucking on his fags and he paid for them fair and square.

And do you have any idea how high fags are taxed in this day and age?

It’s not like when I was a boy. I was sucking fags left and right without a care in the world about paying for them. Granted pretty often they were the cheaper sort that you got from cruise-boats, tax free.

Pic related, it’s one of those boats for cruising. I’ve also heard them referred to as “fuckboats” but honestly it’s more the tax-free that pulls in people.

Dw, the boys at the yard were just on a test drive, and are already on the way back with your truck.

Unless you’re making your own soap etc, you’re still living in a society which wouldn’t function without said cities. So live in them or no, you’re still dependant on them.

I’ve listened to a lot of conservatives being anti-sidewalks growing up, complaining how sidewalks aided criminals.

I’m sorry, I’m not pretending to be stupid to challenge you, or challenging the notion at all, but could you please elaborate on what that “logic” is?

I just don’t see a correlation honestly. Unless it’s the same as like “universal healthcare helps criminals” in the sense that yeah, it’s universal, it’s also for criminals, but eveyone is helped by it, so… I… I fail how they could’ve even began to argue such a point.

But I know lots of conservatives are irrational dumbfucks who don’t actually even understand what “logic” means.

effectively just do this on your own hardware for pretty cheap.

Yeah I thought as much, but I’m no expert in the subject so I left the details for smarter people.

Except if you’re like a Sicilian/Cuban grandma.

I read that they’re not terrible when used to power NPC’s in games.

https://www.pcgamer.com/software/ai/company-that-makes-generative-ai-powered-npcs-reports-that-95-percent-of-players-enjoy-their-generative-ai-powered-npcs/

Not my personal take, mind you, but thought it relevant.

But no you’re the smart one here.

Compared to you? Yes, I am.

If I had 1€ for everytime some cognitively limited champ says “well the scientists don’t know everything”, I’d have enough to buy a sufficient quantity of alcohol to forget I ever heard such bs.

That’s the core of science. Knowing you don’t know everything. If at any point someone in fact says they know everything, they’ve gone from a scientist to a religious lunatic.

No-one gives a fuck what you think. That’s why we read CERN and not your comments when we wish to stay informed on what’s going on in physics.

We’re not even close to the thread max, you’re just desperate to run away.

Because just like all the other kids, your letting your ego control you. Quite manly of you, really. Usually it’s teenage boys who have these tantrums. I genuinely wish you’re at most 25 and not an actual adult, because if you are, you’re gonna have a real tough time with your life. Although I don’t think I need to worry too much about it, since the worst insults you can imagine are “garglebargle” spam and “you’re probably a virgin”. Like what is this, 8th grade? :D

So, no more “lol look at how many paragraphs you’re writing” because I actually like writing, whereas you’re “wasting your time” as you put it.

Doesn’t matter how much you cry, you still say you believe in things which have no scientific support. And that just drives you mad realising how everyone is laughing at you, so you’re *itching" to run from the thread. But you can’t, since your ego won’t let you. :((

Men seem to be the better shooter than women, especially when shooting handguns.

Now isn’t that weird? I can just imagine how furiously you’re googling something to find against it, but can’t and I can almost hear the steam whistling in your ears. Too bad, deary, won’t change the facts of life. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Edit oh and just to piss you off a little bit more, exposing your bs

Ah yes, back to pretending like you were never serious at all, even though that also implies you weren’t serious about women being better marksmen, even though you can’t actually admit to that.

Why do you kids never believe me when I say I’ve seen this tantrum you’re having hundreds of times?

Like I said, it’s alright for you to be religious and not understand science. Many people are. And your agreement isn’t needed, as you’re showing everyone. :)

Maybe it’s because you have a hard time reading actual hard science, and need someone to simplify it for you…?

This is seemingly an American woman, so you’ll feel comfortable with her language.

Most shooting instructors, both men and women, will happily tell you women are better shooters than men, followed by anecdotes to support their claim. But is this really true? Since I am a researcher, I do not believe in anecdotal evidence. I want the hard scientific facts. So, I did a little research on this topic sharing here with you what I found

Summarizing the findings of all these studies, I came to the following conclusions: Men seem to be the better shooter than women, especially when shooting handguns.
