  • To understand how seriously the British take the NHS we did a thing in Scouts where we went around the circle asking the children (aged 10-14) what the liked most and least about Britain. Out of around 20 of the kids, 5-6 said the NHS for what they liked most. The first child to mention the NHS was 11 years old.

    The weather was by and far the least liked thing about Britain.



  • Aye, this is the problem with a lot of invasive edibles. Too few people are interested in foraging and usually you can only eat so much foraged stuff.

    If everyone went out with tubs, bags and baskets on their days off and did a bit of foraging to make their diets a bit more varied and healthy then we might be able to make a dent in things like Himalayan Balsam and American Signal Crayfish. Realistically though we’d just have to limit foraging of easier to identify and prepare plants and fungi from easier to access areas.












  • Again, you keep commenting on these things so you keep getting offered them and you seem to think blocking communities to curate your experience is in some way an insult to you?

    I likened you to a group of people on a social media platform doing exactly what you do. You are straight up using verbally offensive insults against me.

    I’ve been patient enough with you as it is. I will use the block feature to curate my experience now and rid myself of your nonsense.



  • There was nothing inherently low quality about using iron sand anyway. Impurities were carried away by slag and the iron in the sand was easily recovered using washing and later electromagnetism. Imports were used as demand increased.



  • What century of katana are you speaking about? Many katana were used with modern metallurgy technology and imported steel. Do you think modern Japanese created cars are also made from steel refined from sand? Do you think the guns Japanese Samurai used were made from steel refined from sand?
