Homeopathic "remedies" are the most expensive way of stocking up on (potentially contaminated) water imaginable. They don't work. They can't work. They are snake oil. They do not belong as a recommendation in any serious discussion of the topic of preparedness. Their inclusion makes me doubt your judgement and your information for every other post that provides health advice.

The American Medical Association, the National Health Service, and the National Health and Medical Research Council of Australia have all stated that there is no good evidence that homeopathy is effective.

All relevant scientific knowledge about physics, chemistry, biochemistry and biology contradicts homeopathy. Homeopathic remedies are typically biochemically inert, and have no effect on any known disease. Its theory of disease, centered around principles Hahnemann termed miasms, is inconsistent with subsequent identification of viruses and bacteria as causes of disease. Clinical trials have been conducted and generally demonstrated no objective effect from homeopathic preparations. The fundamental implausibility of homeopathy as well as a lack of demonstrable effectiveness has led to it being characterized within the scientific and medical communities as quackery and fraud.

They wiped your ass for years. They'll live.

Hopefully not if you don't live in America.

Anyone know why the linked post reports 36 comments but then none are visible? At least not to me.

Do you reckon it could be grown under shadecloth in sunny areas?

Thanks, hadn't realised that's what the demo looked like. Assumed it would be short and loop.

That doesn't look like a demo given the length

Interesting, but it's not clear how controller input is achieved. No one is using the keyboard. Perhaps a bluetooth joystick?

 

I've made my first attempt at oilcloth. Used linseed oil (boiled I think but I no longer have the container), turpentine in equal parts, and iron oxide (quarter part). Looks beautiful, but...

First problem is it just won't dry. Been hanging under cover in a well-ventilated area for a few weeks and it's still very tacky. I'm guessing I just need to leave it longer.

More of an issue though is the iron oxide leaves residue whenever it's touched. Any ideas on how to get rid of the excess? Google does not appear to be my friend today.

Any help greatly appreciated!
