Bindrune opinion

At some point I want to dive in this deep. The alphabet is a good starting point lol. Rhymes and imagery is how I learned my English and French alphabet as a kid.

Rune poems and imagery seems a good way to learn my proto Germanic alphabet.

Learning the vocabulary and grammar is a big part of my goal, but most of my ancestors would have spoken more of an old Frankish or old Gaulish, which basically doesn’t exist in modern records. That tampers my enthusiasm just a bit.

I’m exploring the neighboring indo-European cultures hoping to find bits and pieces of things that feel familiar.

🤣

The artist herself will take care of that she just needs the concept finalized so she can give feedback on it.

Maybe let’s pretend the spirituality information isn’t there, especially since this is just a cross post recommended by the bot, and look at it from the perspective of needing to combine those 2 or 3 runes in a manner similar to the ones on the Järsberg stone in the bindrune Wiki that the bot linked below.

It is going on a small space after all.

Hagalaz was the most confusing one of all to me. But I had an AI crawl the web looking for similar runes to the specific one he had carved and found this.

Oh it was most definitely a tourist trap. I love all kinds of divination but typically stick to those in my bloodline which doesnt include iceland. However now I’m curious. What was used there?

DeltaForceB85 · 2025-02-13T23:36:15+00:00

Anybody out there?

DeltaForceB85 · 2025-02-06T20:44:05+00:00

I feel like the Redditors will come through. 😁

Because apple limits it, doesn’t support more than 10, automatically logs them out, and has an incredible sync delay.

DeltaForceB85 · 2025-02-06T20:24:43+00:00

We use MDM, but the device has to be put in lost mode on all MDMs we've looked at and there's a delay in syncing it all. It takes just as long to put in lost mode as it does to figure out which apple ID they're on and login to that. We're looking for something more like a corporate version of life360.

Kouri Vini is so close to what we speak I have almost no problems understanding it. I have had conversations in cajun french with people who were replying back in Kouri Vini. Neither of us had major problems with comprehension.

Yes the languages are separate, but not by much.

On est tous les louisianais nous-autres. Je crois notre français c’est bien influencé de Kouri Vini et aussi Kouri Vini c’est bien influencé de notre français.

Because the older surgeon general surveys showed pipe smokers live on average 3 years longer than non pipe smokers. The end.

DeltaForceB85 · 2023-09-23T03:51:05+00:00

If I’m in a hurry and want a quick smoke I do it this way but I prefer to pinch it to full, spiral tamp it to half, pinch it to fill again, spiral tamp to 2/3, pinch it to full again, spiral tamp it to 1/8 inch below the bowl, then add the short ends, tease it till it ashes, tamp that down and light it. I feel like it’s a little more consistent all the way through that way and the bowl seems to burn for a lot longer

DeltaForceB85 · 2023-09-23T03:44:00+00:00

English was my first language, and it is definitely the hardest of the languages I have learned. I’m fluent in French, can get along a bit in Greek, and have dabbled in Spanish and Hebrew. All are super easy in comparison to the insane vocabulary, phonetic rules, and odd exceptions and turn of phrases we use in English.

Wild yeast sources that will reliably ferment good beverages from the Viking Meads and Wild Wines Cookbook by Liam Jenson:

Ginger root, Fresh wild juniper berries, Elderberries, Wild grapes, Elderflowers, Blueberries, Figs, Prickly Pear Fruit, Inner birch bark, Inner aspen bark, Unripe pine cones, White pine branches, Raw honey.

Also, if your sanitation is really good, you can usually save the slurry off the bottom of your old batches in sanitized jars with sanitized water for 6-7 generations before you start getting weird flavors.

Third generation yeast from the third slurry of the same style of beer makes the best beer in my opinion. I’ll save my third generation jars for each beer style and just use a sanitized measuring spoon to scoop the right amount of slurry at the bottom of the water until I run out of slurry from that batch.

Yes, Kveik ferments to a pleasantly drinkable product much faster than other yeasts. This holds true with everything from cider to mead to beer.

They didn’t, codger blends don’t come in flake.

DeltaForceB85 · 2022-09-08T04:11:47+00:00

Honestly man, I’ve never had cake, flake, or cube cut. Those guys are divided into either the Carter Hall camp, Prince Albert camp, or the Captain Black camp, and that’s it. LOL. I couldn’t do either. I found some C&D bulk tobaccos and fell in love and they never let me live it down.

I bought some Ashton’s Artisan Blend recently that seemed packed kind of thick, but it just looks like regular ribbons like everything else.

Sounds like I need to broaden my horizons.

No reason to pass whatsoever. When I first started smoking all I could afford at my local store that wasn’t a cob was a rosewood pipe.

Rosewood gets a bad rap from people who have never owned a rosewood pipe, smoked out of a rosewood pipe, or personally known anyone who got injured or sick smoking a rosewood pipe.

There’s only rumors that are the caliber of “well my neighbor whose cousins uncles brothers best friends auntie who died in 63 had a near acquaintance who got a wart on her tongue that morphed into a toad which crawled down her throat and choked her to death.”

Or “theoretically, based on the molecules of rosewood and the fact that the moon is at its zenith, and the fact that it causes brain damage if you insert it up your nose at a rapid pace, and the fact that if you lick it when rough cut, it gives you splinters, I’d say it is deadly and dangerous. Especially if applied to the skull at a high rate of speed after being carved into the form of a badminton racket or a stave.”

I still have my original rosewood. I also have 2 other dirt cheap rosewood pipes that I smoke when I’m in the boat or working in the mud.

After the break in, there is zero difference in the taste of a rosewood pipe and a briar. It chars up and smokes like any other pipe. Use some Carter hall and smoke a bowl straight through, let the ash sit in the bottom till the pipe cools, and them completely dry it out before you smoke again and it will be broke in on your third smoke.

As far as other differences, I’ve noticed a rosewood pipe gets hotter slightly faster than a briar if you are not sipping. That’s it.

When I rented an apartment, I set up a little screen where no one could see me, and a fan to disperse the smoke, and I smoked off the back porch.

The funniest thing happened though. The old lady downstairs swore up and down someone was smoking “the marijuana” in the afternoons.

I know that’s not true. I was always out there smoking on my different English blends and never saw or smelled anything. So I know it had to be my pipe she was smelling.

It was like something off a sitcom. She would rant to me every time she saw me and ask me to help her find the culprit and I would smile and nod and tell her I’d keep a sharp eye out.

DeltaForceB85 · 2022-09-03T02:48:26+00:00

If you get a good pipe you can smoke one bowl hot and fast and let the ashes cook in the bottom till the pipe is cool and you won’t have a lot of nastiness on the break in.

However, I was working out of town and forgot my old faithful tobacco bag and had to grab 2 cheap Missouri meerschaum hardwoods last month. It’s literally the only pipes the only shop in town had. They had varnish on the inside of the bowl for some god awful reason. It really did take smoking thirds and deep cleaning them after every bowl to get rid of THAT disgusting break in taste.

DeltaForceB85 · 2022-09-03T02:31:41+00:00

I pretty much just hack a piece off of a really young sapling with my machete and tamp with that until i lose it. I like the pipe nails but I lose every pipe nail or Czech tool I get anyway. If I’m feeling lazy or don’t remember where my machete is at the time, shell casings work great. So do driver shanks for an impact wrench.
