This is why I mostly buy Californian olive oil now. I like the legit italian or spanish kind more, but it's faked so often in the grocery store that it isn't even worth attempting to decide if it's real. Sometimes the fakes tell you it's cut with olives from africa, and sometimes they don't. The US importers are held to no standards whatsoever. At least when I buy california olive oil, it's 95% of the way there and guaranteed to be real.
As someone who did this sort of things in Boy Scouts, this is not super-simple just using natural materials. Maybe you're superman but starting fires with just natural materials was actually very difficult for our ancestors for a very long time. And is difficult today.
I'd invite you to watch the show Alone, where many survival experts have had to give up in the first day or two because they opted not to bring a fire steel and don't want to freeze.
You're right that it's possible, but how long it takes, and whether or not you can do it, are dependent on skill and environment. Wrong kind of wood? Screwed. Been raining for a day? Screwed. Sometimes this can be overcome, but you have to know what you're doing, and it can still take hours to generate enough heat to dry the wood until it's possible to friction combust it. Try it sometime, just bring a lighter with you.
A fire steel is probably the simplest low-tech way to start a fire. You still need some expertise like finding a mouse nest or other flammable material even if it's been reasonably dry.
But friction methods are tough, even if you have a well-made spindle and fireboard--which of course require tools. You're not easily creating those without tools to make those tools. And, even then, it's not super easy especially in a non-optimum environment.
right, but if we attain equilibrium with their amount of whiskey, then we have a better chance of understanding. just like listening to the 2 people that have been at the bar all day. they understand each other perfectly, but to someone less inebriated, it's total non-sense/jiberish. so, for science, more whiskey is needed.
The recent autoincorrect made available from Apple is driving me absolute bonkers. On macOS version of Messages is infuriating on how slowly it updates the text as I type, and then goes off and changes things before it even finishes what I've typed. On iOS, it is infuriating in different ways
What gets me about autocorrect is that it's a system which "recovers" from minor mistakes of trivial significance by occasionally turning them into gigantic, opaque mistakes that completely prevent comprehension. (See above.)
Imagine if the solution to "10% of the time, when I boot up my computer, it takes an extra second or three to boot" were "the unpredictable lag in booting is gone, but, 0.5% of the time, when you boot your computer, it will melt. Don't keep it near anything flammable."
The cost of autocorrect failing once is far higher than the total benefit of every success you ever get out of it. Who thought this tradeoff made sense?
doesn't look like it. tldr.sh seems to pull from the web, while this cheat project looks to be more of a similar too to collect knowledge you build yourself over time.
Not sure he'd be the most qualified, but he seems like a person who take advice from knowledgeable people well and has the experience and current position of leadership to take advantage of it. He also lives right near a huge local outbreak, and so has obvious personal incentive to make sure that it gets cleaned up ASAP.
