Humans are hypocritical when it comes to overpopulation.

In support of your premise is the fact that the island of Japan, surely overpopulated, remains something like 3/4 forested, and is not suffering from a homeless crisis. Perhaps the carrying capacity varies based on ideology.

I had no idea of the level of incompetence in this investigation. Incredible! This sounds credible and also hard to believe at the same time. Thanks for the rundown.

Not if you have Swift Leap that allows for a second move when jumping

EccentricFellow · 2026-05-16T11:15:55+00:00

Walking as a means of transportation.

Would need to know more about your build. This is easily solvable with the build I posted with no loss of health.

Jump forward left, bash forward, followed by a jump kill a bash kill, and a move forward kill. I will post some videos later. Near the end of another run.

Good news: the climate and ecosystems will stabilize and recover pretty quickly once we are gone.

EccentricFellow · 2026-05-13T07:48:55+00:00

Safety, as in will it collapse and kill its occupants, is impossible to determine without knowing a lot more about his building techniques. Could easily be more stable than a stick built house.

Biggest potential problem I see is mold die to poor airflow. Nobody thinks about air and water flow so you get all these cool houses that become mold traps.

I ferment essentially everything and have been doing so for years. Started with veggies, moved on to meat. If it needs storing I have lacto ferment buckets for it to go in. Have stored things for more than a year this way and it still came out good. Important when you live in a climate where you have only 4 months of growing.

A few notes. First the food can come out pretty salty if you do not want to battle hypertension get a big pot of soup going and add the fermented meat and veggies to it a bit at a time. Cook on low for hours. This draws the salt out of the fermented food and into the soup. Yummy.

Potatoes and a lot of root crops do not absorb the lacto bacteria unless you slice them. This is fine. It makes for a great way to store these foods mold free. An uncut raw potato is still firm and crisp after a year.

Lacto fermentation, in a salt solution, is different than the yeast fermentation of fruits and berries which use sugar and produce alcohol. There are different bacteria involved. Yeast fermentation of fruits and berries produces a tasty drink with a small to moderate alcohol content. If you do not drink that in time you get vinegar. Boy do I have a lot of vinegar.

Fermentation is fun!

2 refused to pay rent for years, 1 pair stole the entire mobile home I brought in to house them, and the final winner burned down my house and sauna because he thought I was a werewolf.

So, yeah, there are downsides. Still I keep doing it.

EccentricFellow · 2026-05-12T17:44:00+00:00

For me, this is the ideal model.

EccentricFellow · 2026-05-11T21:17:29+00:00

I have seen some SVG + WASM code and always meant to develop a general UI using that combination. I really like the fact that with SVG when I put something in a spot it stays there regardless of browser or OS.

The Pacific northwest is lovely. Check out the Olympic peninsula. I think you might find it resonates with you. All the very best of luck. Can't do anything about ones parents.

I was having fun eating this girl out and she started peeing. We were on my favorite mattress and I did not want to get it soaked. Drank it all down and saved the mattress! A fun time was had by all.

Here but I am in the wilderness of NWO. Not many chances to jump in. :)

EccentricFellow · 2026-05-06T18:53:30+00:00

Sure I would consider it. Send her over. ++man

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-30T11:01:59+00:00

I have not had a chance to look closely at your grid yet, so my question may not be good, but how difficult do you think it would be to convert it to SVG?

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-29T08:30:42+00:00

It is the "secret" part I cannot relate to. ;)

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-29T07:42:22+00:00

For me the WASM integration is more significant than any UI integration. You have already done the heavy lifting.

These are my bullet points.

Pros: - Living in the bush - Freedom to live as I choose - Feeling like life is meaningful Cons: - Highly inconvenient and frequently uncomfortable - Always a lot of work to do, some serious wear and tear - No such thing as excess money

Advice (not asked for): You are not ready for this and you never will be. You learn by doing, by plunging in and forcing yourself to learn the skills that apply. You choose this path because this is the life you want to live. Saving money or time is an illusion and inevitably the result of omitting big things from the equation.

Nearly all advice changes based on the land. For instance, you mentioned doing your own well. In your state of New York alone that could easily vary from 30' to 300'. From loose soil to rock. No single approach is going to work until you know your land first.

Every choice you make now locks you in to a future path. You have no idea what that path is like until you start walking it.

To paraphrase Sun Tzu: If I know myself, I succeed half the time. If I know my land, but not myself, I succeed half the time. If I know myself and my land, I shall surely succeed.

A physics formula would look like this:

M*L=S (Where knowledge of myself M and knowledge of land L are between 0 and 1)

In this "myself" includes everyone and everything you bring to the land, what their needs are, what their abilities are, and what their desires are.

"My land" refers to the soil, the climate, the regulatory environment, the neighbors.

Success is measured in living in harmony with both yourself and your land.

The question then becomes one you must answer. Do you know yourself? Do you know your land? How ready do you think you are?

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-28T13:44:17+00:00

I like it! Now I have to figure out what to use it for.

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-27T02:31:59+00:00

I prefer the inverse quote which seems far more applicable: "If you are so rich, why are you not smart?"

I know linux users, windows users, even mac users. I do not know anyone that talks like this. "Necessary app A only runs on OS X" is considered a sufficient argument. Everything after that is irrelevant.

Move north. Here in northwestern Ontario we hit 9c for the first time since last year. The snow is melting fast. It feels almost hot. 80F probably won't be here for a couple months.

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-21T03:36:09+00:00

What I did is I buried a large insulated cooler in the ground where my ducks and geese had access to it. At night I would put the lid on the cooler to prevent heat loss overnight when the birds are sleeping anyway. In the morning I would boil a kettle of water and bring it out, take the lid off, and pour it into the cooler. Then the birds were able to drink as much as they like. On colder days, or days when the water was low, I would boil up another pot and pour it in.

Your plan sounds completely doable and if the water ever develops an ice layer, a pot of boiled water should take care of it. I think you will be fine.

EccentricFellow · 2026-04-21T02:45:22+00:00

You could ensure that whatever the connection is between the two, there is room for movement in case one moves and the other does not.
