To reiterate, the sulphur seems to be working. If it does work, it is also a remedy I can sustain in the future. There are cheaper ways to get sulphur than the prepared remedy I paid $18 for. To emphasize, some of us don't have the option of spending hundreds at a vet. Your vet isn't going...

What you call garbage, I call leftovers. If time, temperature, and the wrapping job have sufficiently preserved them. One could worry about communicable diseases from eating other people's leftovers. I don't though. I have some trust that the odds are against other people being seriously...

Is that 4 mile wifi by an open line of sight, or bouncing around buildings? Does transmission work as well as reception? In the urban fabric, if such an approach really worked, I'd expect a lot of interference from many wifi sources. Sounds like more of a rural "can see a transmission tower"...

Seemingly because you are afraid of such things. Whereas a dog is a natural scavenger, and food that ends up in trash cans is typically well sealed in styrofoam containers and tightly tied plastic bags. I eat that food if the weather has been cold enough, if it's come out of a restaurant...

It's off-topic but I have to object. The problem went on for months, before I started thinking it could be mange. I didn't catch anything. Mom didn't catch anything when I visited her, nor did her cats. All dogs have the mange mites, but their immune systems typically keep them in check...

The value of what is stolen, the material conditions of the society that produce it, and the equity of how the society distributes it, are all relevant factors. Theft of ice is, for instance, theft of water, electricity, and a potential inconvenience to a guest's level of service. There would...

Consider up/down as well. Coastal conditions are milder than inland.

Sounds the opposite of cheap, unless you're doing the freeze drying yourself. When I do prepare dry beans for cooking, I soak them multiple times in the bottom of a plastic jug, to remove as many phytates as possible. Several days soaking, changing water. (That of course assumes access to...

I could stand to look into sprouting. Realize though, I intended this thread to help people with very little money (on food stamps for instance), who don't want to cook or want to minimize it, or other kinds of preparation / futzing, and still they want to be healthy. Also I'm in a car with...

Why can't / don't people hit the last PAGE of a thread? There is no reason for anyone to be starting from the beginning. Also if one is getting an email notficiation, it takes you to the most recent post you haven't read. Perhaps some people aren't experienced with web forums, but really the...

Romaine lettuce mainly due cost + ability to wrap itself around items like cheese, as an alternative to bread or sandwiches. Raisins instead of prunes because raisins have usually been cheaper. Many house brand raisins are of good quality, although I don't think much of Walmart's version of...

Fair warning: my current dietary habit can seem severe. This is not for people who thrive on being "foodies," nice preparation, everything this way and that, etc. This is for people who see cooking as a burden, but still want to lower costs, not have things suck, and keep things fairly...

Well, I guess you have to figure out how the antenna is going to work with your laptop. I didn't get into that so much. I was trying to add a parabolic "ear" to a USB plug antenna. Such a device is going to consume more power than what the laptop has on board, which could affect your laptop...

As a new member, I look at the 1st page of subforum posting topics. I consider anything on the 1st page to be "recent enough" in relative terms to consider adding my $0.02 to it. When I do, I believe I'm adding useful information, as I have 4 years of accumulated car dwelling experience to...

'84 Chevy Citation II V6 carbureted 4-door hatchback, carrying 1 man 1 dog and a minimum of gear for urban semi-stealth. When parked and tucked down, everything but the cooler is below the window line and people typically have to be right up on us to know we're in there. I get 25 MPG HWY @ 80...

If the issue with using an inverter, was not wanting to waste electricity going through DC to AC to DC conversions, I've been using a Wagan 200W power inverter for 4 years. I also had a special straight DC power brick for a Dell laptop. That brick was still converting from 12V DC to the 19.5V...

One might be missing some basics in all of this discussion, which is how much food you're taking with you and how fast you're going to eat it to begin with. I've generally been feeding 1 man 1 dog with a Coleman 6-day cooler. Meat for him has often been the reason for the cooler, as I don't...

Competent, joyless, able to leverage the experience of more interested minds on my gurus' mailing list. Patient, won't break anything in anger. Just makes more work if you do. Glad I've got the skills now, but would outsource this if I was rich.

I don't see why you'd have to mount it outside your vehicle, as glass is radio transparent. I don't think you'd want to mount it outside your vehicle, as any permanent external bracket would make your car or van look funny / attract attention, even if you mount and dismount the antenna itself...

I'm having a real hard time imagining how you fulfil 1. on public land. National Forests, Grasslands, and Seashores are out. BLM land that has no streams, no rainfall ever, no flash floods due to baked ground, no minerals or oil, no wind...? It sounds like what you'd want is a big, extremely...
