Of course, nothing is ever wasted in the forest. :caf Transport was done by water on long trips, but she mostly let the customer deal with the S&H themselves.

You'll be able to find charcoal easily, sulfur, not so much, and unless you know how to filter nitrates out of natural materials, it'd be practically impossible to find that.

Indeed. The ditches were dug into the ceiling of the tunnels, bamboo was used as usual for the pipes, any fans were water powered, and held up by an assortment of panels.


(I would attempt to do that multi-quote thing but I don't know how :p)

Fantastic, that's a lesson many industries could learn from nowadays. We could make our natural resources stretch out for a bit longer, rather than the 40 years or so they have on the books. lol.

Hmm, gunpowder might be a bit hard then. Would you have any way of making ammonia? You'd need 400*C temperature and a pressure of 250 atmospheres. (Come to think of it, I don't even know how they do that nowadays. o.o) And some iron to use as a catalyst. All sorts of useful stuff from ammonia...

Water power is quite interesting actually. We have to do these design practicals for physics. I'm choosing the hydro power topic.

( :p I do things the old fashioned way, aka copy and paste...ing. )

I really don't think things will disappear that quickly. But the problem is, resources here aren't going anywhere, whereas Red usually pays for returns of anything. Less work to forage out new materials, even if it's junk.

Getting the temperature that high will be easy. Finding ammonia is a different matter. Red uses the precious little supply she gets to make ice during the summer for packaging traded food on long-distance routes.
Iron....if only you could somehow get it into a chicken's (Brownbar's) head an convince him to randomly fire up rocks.... :lol:

Nice. It's one of Red's favorite ways to get some odd yet necessary plans to work.
 
:yuckyuck

Is Chubbs a cat? My exchange family in Germany has a cat. Most enormous creature you've ever seen. He used to lie on my bed and sharpen his claws by walking over the pillow. :p He was epic.

I have to go to chemistry. I hope we will be frying things, literally.


Well... Mr. Chubbs is almost a cat... If you remove the C and replace it with an R.....
Before you go ewwwwwww, I would like to say he is the most adorable rat ever. I have even taught him how to fetch, unlike Boogerhead.
lol, he sounds epic. Boy-cat, our actual cat, does that. He likes to need everything insight, especially strangers. When they aren't looking.

Sorry I poofed last night, I got caught up with catching up on things I should have caught up on earlier.

So, did you end up frying all sorts of wondrous things?

(Oh okay. I will attempt to stretch my brain back into its dim and distant recesses some other time when my laptop doesn't have only 2 remaining minutes of life. :p)

Really? Well, actually, you do have a point. Apparently when it comes to crude oil we are currently only accessing about 20% of available reservoirs. They think that with time the technology will develop to the point when we'll be able to tap into deep ocean floor deposits or whatnot.

Okay. No, I meant you could get the temperature that high to make ammonia. :p Although I think you have to extract the hydrogen from natural gas too... but the nitrogen just comes straight from the atmosphere so that's good.
Ice for packaging. Clever. How would she stop the ice melting and water soaking into the food?

Oh, just make Brownbar a secret pyromaniac at heart. :p

No, not ewww. I have heard of many nice pet rats before.
Mr. Chubbs just sounded like a feline name. I am probably slightly biased in the fact that the German cat was like the size of a television? He was huge. :p

Boy-cat sounds lovely. Felix would often lie down on his side and expect somone to kneed his stomach. lol.

I fried many complete, however not so wondrous, things. For example my King Lear commentary, on which I got a 5/7. -.- (And my teacher wrote that it was the best commentary she'd ever had from me) And also a physics practical, which I think everyone failed. :p And, last but not least, another quarter of my extended essay, through which I have been develpoing a very alarming and quite disturbing interest in the geography of urban areas.

And you, fair knight of Ooj?

Yeah, and with allt he new stuff that's coming out nowadays, that just might be very soon.

Oh, just to make ammonia? Red doesn't have a still, so solar heat will have to do...but she doesn't have any reflective items due to the lack of polished metal. :/
The water gets drained off. What with the lack of plastic or glass there isn't much to actually hold water in without tremendously raising the trading price. Plus, this is only done for fresh or semi-processed food. Dried foodstuff don't need refrigeration.

Lol, that sounds like a good idea. I just got a new recipe for a forge, so he'll be good to go. :p

Okay, I hope I've done this quoting thing right, although I don't think I'd have the patience to do it every time. :p

I hope so too... I mean, I do worry about the effect all this greenhouse gas might eventually have on the planet (right now the numbers still seem a bit distant, just my opinion.) but living through the complete economic collapse and all the riots that would happen if crude oil ran out... I'd rather try and think of a solution for the environmental problem. :lol:

Oh okay. Well, that's a shame then! I suppose.. hmm, I was thinking about some crude homemade explosive but I guess you guys wouldn't have much peroxide around either. :p
I heard you could make coal dust or very fine flour explode under the right conditions. heheh.

Okay. Ah yes, I see. All right, I was just having weird visions of all this food enclosed in an enormous wall of ice, then I just realised you'd probably not do it like that at all.

Excellent! Well, give me a shout out when you're ready, I want to watch too... :p

Oh, lol, sorry. I thought you were talking about the multi quotes, not the nested quotes. Since you know about the BBcode editor, just go to that 'Preferences' page and change the 'Remove Nested Quotes in Replies' from yes to No.

Ah, same here. But I was talking about resources other then crude oil. Mostly because both Red and I believe in the abiotic theory of out

Nope, so doesn't have any of that either. >.>
:hmm Well so could popcorn, but I don't see how that would work for mining!

No, she definitely does not have ice in such large quantities.

Lol, first I have think about and draw up a diagram of how he could do it without inorganic materials....which would be hard because IRL a tarp or some other collection device is necessary..

Thanks Spock. Now it works.

Did you finish that second sentence? Or am I just being befuddled and failing to exert a grasp on the english language today?
Okay, then. Crude oil's the only one I'm really worried about right now... although I suppose overfishing is a problem too. *stretches brain back over three years of geography*
Coal is apparently going to last for another 500 years. Rare earths... not so long, which is kind of a problem for our planned development of renewable energy technologies. Too many iphones out there. Hahah.

Popcorn. lol. It doesn't have to be involved in mining I guess... it's just one of the example of things that explode. If you could get ammonium nitrate that would solve a lot of problems, but as you say you have neither ammonia or nitric acid that might be an issue. :p

Do you mean to make a fire? I saw something cool on Mythbusters about making fires in the wild with sticks and grass. I tried that once on camp (shhh :p) but it didn't work. Whenever I'm on camp the leaders use matches for the campfires.
 
No, not ewww. I have heard of many nice pet rats before.
Mr. Chubbs just sounded like a feline name. I am probably slightly biased in the fact that the German cat was like the size of a television? He was huge. :p

Boy-cat sounds lovely. Felix would often lie down on his side and expect somone to kneed his stomach. lol.

I fried many complete, however not so wondrous, things. For example my King Lear commentary, on which I got a 5/7. -.- (And my teacher wrote that it was the best commentary she'd ever had from me) And also a physics practical, which I think everyone failed. :p And, last but not least, another quarter of my extended essay, through which I have been develpoing a very alarming and quite disturbing interest in the geography of urban areas.

And you, fair knight of Ooj?


Seriously?! lol
Around here everyone thinks I am crazy for keeping one. :lol:
They are truly the best pets I have found, even without training Mr. Chubbs has not once gone on my floor! Unlike Boogerhead.....

Daww, well! Still, :p
O0O <- Face of disbelief.
So how is that essay coming now?

Well, I am severely delayed apparently. :th I thought I posted this two days ago, but no! It's been sitting here on this tab waiting. For two days. TWO DAYS.
I am the slowest person on earth. Although, in my defense, I do have about a dozen and half tabs up (Working on a project).
....And no, I haven't shut my computer off in three days now and it is very displeased with me. Very. It sounds like it wants to eat me.
