One of the main reasons why I love watching people like Primitive Technology on the 'toob.

Chap goes through the process of building shelter from nothing but the shorts keeping you decent, and access to a bit of yard with a creek that has some good clay and sometimes grows iron eating bacteria.

First off start building yourself a “Shit has hit the fan and I need to get out of dodge.” kit to keep in your car/close to your door so you can grab and run if it gets REAL bad.

Keep it stocked and up to date (certain first aid items are only sterile for a year. Antiseptic Creams like Savlon go VERY bad when they degrade)

Additional components; heavy duty needles and some aramid or Dyneema thread (brand name of the high density polyethylene rope that’s strong as Fkk) for repairing things that need structure.

Also get yourself on an emergency first aid course, one that covers serious injuries and stopping bleeding is more than worth any price you pay for the lessons.

Learning practical skills like simple electronic repairs (I’m not talking about house electronics, that’s how you meet god in one of the most painful ways possible), how to diagnose car issues how to effectively tie knots in rope, and a few sewing stitches to repair clothes.

Oh aye I saw that one as well, funny as anything to see, and I definitely don’t disagree with the ‘find what you like and run with it’ attitude when it comes to luxury gear

I’m running on the most basic of basic usb headphone amp and dac units, can safely say it’s enough for my ears.

Fiio’s just one of those companies that make decent gear and isn’t just some clone of a clone in a fancy case with an unknown OS. In all honesty the bonus of having every headphone port type and the output to run them off one device is my main draw to it.

The companies are still doing it, because it’s cheaper, and they rarely get in trouble. It’s a sign of Chinese capitalism, reckless disregard for harm done in the name of profit.

80% of the sand used in their construction is now artificial… Because they stopped using unwashed sand.

It took me less than 5 minutes to find this out with a simple search.

‘fun’ read about able archer though.

Trade you for one that’s from a renowned audio company (nothing against hatsune miku but that thing looks like it’s 80% gimmick)

You’d think with a name like that they’d have caught him by now

If you’re the type to needlessly argue the difference, you’re putting a very distinct hat on that says “I am emotionally invested in people’s perception of child abusers” and I say child abusers as a catch-all for those who are in any way attracted to kids. Because pedos and child rapists are in the same group whether they touch kids or not.

It’s similar, in my mind at least, to trying to separate the original WW2 nazis from modern day nazis by saying “The modern ones aren’t gassing minorities and invading poland so you HAVE to clarify which one’s you’re talking about.” As if they weren’t all part of the same group.

In terms of what I’m actually trying to get across; be very wary of who you defend when trying to police speech, especially on the internet.

I understand nuance is a thing but even I had to stop myself from assuming you’re the same as the “ackshually its ephebophilia so they’re not a pedo” crowd

That’s the hard part: if it’s fibreglass then it’ll crack, and you’ve gotta stop the plug from unplugging itself and letting all the air in

Unless you could get an acrylic plate wth a seal around the edge to go over the bath, got the bike pump working in reverse and reinforced the bath, you might stuggle even with some proper elbow grease

All it takes is either a multi million dollar human scale pressure chamber, or volunteering for some mad billionaires high altitude mach 5 manned vehicle tests

K doesn’t use the ° symbol ;)

And the increments of kelvin are the same as Celsius, they’re just at different points, where at 0K absolutely nothing is a gas or a liquid.

(Trying to decipher it right but you’re suggesting 0K be renamed -100°??

Depends on what altitude you’re at; get high enough and the depressurisation will boil the water in your blood straight out of every orofice available using only your body’s latent heat.

Stretch and exercise. Every day. Either your body or your mind, pick one a day and the other another, else you’ll end up stiff in the body, injure yourself trying to do simple things and have a head full of mush to boot.

Get yourself off as many social medias as you can, and join a local club that lets you be social while being active.

Learn to embrace being absolutely dog egg at new hobbies and unfamiliar tasks. There’s no avoiding it, so learn from it instead and work out what does and doesn’t work. When you start to get stuck long term, that’s when you go find someone to teach you.

Get an adblocker, ghostery and or privacy badger and dont trust free VPNs, because fuck adverts and the metadata they’d ride out with if you let them.

It is possible to get IR radiation out almost directly to space, its the same principle for why clear nights are always colder- no cloud layer to bounce the IR back at the surface and keep it warm

I did watch a real good set of videos by Tech Ingredients, the chap’s gotta be either a lecturer (and) or his special interest is DIY-ing everything from pulse detonation rocket engines (that turned out better than the ones ol muskrat’s using) to using an underground heatsink made of plastic tubing and carbon saturated cement outside his workshop for an in-window AC unit, turning an 800W drain down to a 300W drain for the same cooling.

He was using some kind of fine particle paint to create a large Infrared radiating surface that shed heat so well it got below ambient air temp because it was shedding IR directly up out into space

The only unfortunate limit is shielding it from catching any outside radiation and making sure all the IR actually leaves the system, he had to build a shade to protect it from trees and buildings which would have been effectively shining IR back into the system.

He did it for the love of the party

(He was also not the one in power when this started in the 40s, your point is moot)

Im sure that this doesn’t violate the laws of thermodynamics, but the headline makes it sound like this magics away the heat without using electricity or putting the heat anywhere.

Sincerest apologies for taking the piss thinking you were an American pal.

(Didn’t realise you were the actual creator as well, I’m far too used to seeing reposts of reposts of reposts that I automatically think the person posting just found a meme (I think the internet is rotting my brain) :') )
