Anything veganism (positive)

Or you opened pycharm (ಥ﹏ಥ) 5 gigs of RAM is fairly audacious for a single program :/

Across all of Europe and all of the middle ages? Sure probably. Never hear of them, see them in art? I dunno, it’s hard to say because we don’t have a lot of documentation on what normal people’s lives were like.

In the cosmopolitan cities like Prague you probably would. Also any major Mediterranean trade port. Anyone who went on pilgrimage to those places, or along them, probably would. Cutting off Jerusalem to pilgrimage being such a big political deal indicates that many people went there or wanted to, and people loved sharing stories of places.

It’s called speciesism and it’s how people justify eating cows.

Dude: ports exist, people trade, across the Mediterranean you can find lots of different skin colours and customs.

Nobility and their favoured travelled extensively, skilled tradespeople would undertake elaborate pilgramidge if they could afford it all the way to Jerusalem. Even serfs got to go on pilgrimage although usually not to Jerusalem but to other cathedrals.

Stop with this ahistorical nonsense. Maybe someone in the British isles might not have much contact of the greater world but the HRE? Spain? Italy? The eastern Roman empire? Of fucking course they did.

This is a pretty flawed understanding of history.

Humans have always travelled, in Europe even serfs would hope to go on pilgrimage and Lords generally had to allow it. Although it may only be to a nearby cathedral. Italy was a trade hub, and a relatively short trip by boat to north Africa.

European painters knew that people came in different shades. As proof, go look at the school of Athens painting.

2things.

Funny that people are trying to evangelise time wasting brainrot

Also you must have so much useful time without the time wasting brainrot.

goes back to watching people process clay for some insane reason

So many tedious recommendations when the answer is obviously heaven’s vault.

It’s dogshit in almost every way. Even moving around the world feels like pouring salt into your eyes. I hate almost every single thing, the protagonist, the pace, the awful vehicle sections to travel. But it’s something you should play, or perhaps experience.

It’s an archeological translation game and there are multiple moments of “Ok so maybe that actually means font of life not mother goddess, but that would mean this means artificial god which would mean that the extinction event was actually transcendence and holy shit…”

There is no magic to it. You can sharpen a knife with a brick if you’re careful.

The result and rate are determined by a few things:

• Harder, more jagged grits will cut the steel of the knife away faster
• The final edge can’t be (much) smoother than the grit used on it last.

It’s just like sanding wood or filing your nails. Usually we start course because it would take ages to wear in the approximate shape using finer materials, then we go progressively finer to smooth out the scratches left by the step prior.

Finer media is typically more expensive too, as fine stuff contaminating course stuff isn’t a huge issue but the opposite isn’t true. So we want to not blow our budget wearing away all nice stones.

Personally I would not try removing chips with anything finer than 1k, and depending on the size and the hardness of the steel might drop to 300 or so. you can, but it will take hours instead of minutes.

Basically no Australian wildlife can or will seriously hurt you. There are some snakes which if you try really hard you might run into (for reference I’ve had 2 encounters with dangerous snakes in my life), a couple of spiders one of which is extremely common but not at all aggressive and does not roam, kangaroos if you hit them with your car you will be fucked up, emus and cassowaries if you go where they are and try really hard to make them angry, crocs up north if you approach them can be dangerous, box jellies up north will kill you if you swim when they’re about, dingoes in the centre are wild dogs so if they’re hungry they could harm you.

you can go bush walking with no plan and just some water. Wander off the track all day, and your biggest danger is getting lost. Avoid that and it’s dehydration or falls. If you stick your hands into dark crevices and overturn bark and stuff I guess spiders and snakes?

Stop it. Stop being so bad at understanding writing. This is literally just someone doing A Modest Proposal again but with an economic lens.

Idk archinstall is pretty straightforward if you choose an ide. No harder than installing windows if you haven’t done either before.

Help documentation and available of “support” (friendly nerds) to chat to is better than windows too.

Not a command but bang expansions. For example !? is the args of last command useful for stuff like mkdir foo ; cd !?

https://www.redhat.com/sysadmin/bash-bang-commands learn these. you suck at using your computer if you don’t know them.

I think sometimes when I try to point out that political violence underpins much of society people hear “violence is good actually”.

It’s frustrating because what I’m trying to point out is actually the opposite. Prostrating yourself lets other people use violence with no checks.

you can criticise the world without resorting to past = bad which often hides things we have lost.

Also oats are nutritious, delicious, and efficient.

How about pointing out how hard you work to afford food that is often thrown out lest it undermine keeping you slaved to “the economy” etc.

No actually I’m not done. Wanting fewer material things is good actually. Opulence need not manifest in terms of the aquisition of territory and things. What if you have a tiny home and breakfast gruel but you get idle time, community, gorgeous views, freedom etc.

the problems with society aren’t that you can’t eat figs every meal and stroll around your estate, it’s that mere subsitence demands your soul.

you usually work up grits. In general for edges that should end shaving sharp (e.g. kitchen, whirling) below 1k is rough work, profiling work, 1k or so is basic small chip repair etc, 3k is standard sharpen, and higher is polishing wank. You get what you pay for in general: cheap stones need soaking, the wear out fast (needing truing). Shapton makes some great splash and go stones.

However, there is one cheap 2 sided diamond stone that is actually quality. The sharpal one. Be aware diamond cuts extremely fast (good and bad), it doesn’t need truing or soaking. I recommend if you’re getting one stone get that. Learn proper bur minimisation technique and that’ll cover chip repair and get your knives sharp enough to cut seethrough sheets of tomato.

If you feel fancy add 1 micron stropping compound and a sheet of balsa wood to strop on.

I’m not them but tying loads/things down during fierce winds, temp gardening structures, carrying stuff (weaving nets is useful knowledge), lifting stuff/holding suspended.

Idk even stuff like if crossing a stream it’s handy to have one person go first and make a temp hand rail by hanging a rope across so people slip less.

Sharpening stones.

you need an edge so many times in your life. When you’re using scissors, slicing veggies, pruning trees, harvesting mushrooms, posting online, mowing grass, carving wood, cutting roots, trimming nails, scraping stoves/ovens, shaving, digging, trimming, pealing whatever.

There are so many dumb fancy arse awful tools that butcher edges and work in one specific case. No! For millenia people have been grinding edges, it is not difficult to learn it just takes practice.

Modern manufacturing means we can enjoy extremely consistent stones in well characterised grades. Go use some, and enjoy how much less effort life requires when everything that cuts, cuts easily.

100% read it. I think most things aren’t “must reads” even my favourite stories, but some have such unique ideas or skillful execution that if you enjoy literature you owe it to yourself to read them.

There’s obviously a very large list, I suggested some I didn’t think would be represented here. The dispossessed is a short read and uncomplex in its construction and pros so it’s easy to squeeze in a chapter here and there or before bed.

Idk if you will agree it’s a must read, that’s obviously quite subjective, but I highly doubt you’ll find the time you spent with it unsatisfying.
