    Prepping for Armageddon - my list of chemicals, any suggestions/modifications?

    1. anyone know where we can buy guns - it's expensive as well (in BLR) 2. why not use soap instead - hand-wash is alcohol based whereas soap's cheaper and tears apart the outer layer of the virus (it's the cleaning mechanism of soap - stripping the oil film) 3. a lot of my stuff is storage of...

    Prepping for Armageddon - my list of chemicals, any suggestions/modifications?

    (Edited to add this: You will note that my list contains Glacial Acetic Acid at 90%+ concentration - if the Chemist had sold me some, I'd be dead by now. So.. it's a list I could never actually use because of my lack of knowledge on how dangerous some of this stuff is. PAY THE EXTRA for...

    Gardening: what do I do with Coconut Husks?

    So I made a lot of stupid mistakes that were very painful to recover from: 1. I put pots on the terrace and filled it with mud - stains the wall, low yield. 2. I put Zinc sheets+pots in the mud as a barrier - attracts rats - mud binds to everything, leaves get in - difficult to sweep. Now I'm...

    Any Reddit fans here?

    actually I find r/indiaspeaks just as awful as r/india - why can't Indians ditch their agenda and work for the common good? actually work - like write a program or share technical knowledge/books

    SSD IOPS - sequential vs 4k rw?

    wear-levelling - but SSD-page wise right? (+even if it does place it wherever.. the sequential access values still hold since SSDs don't do physical-sequential-storage anyhow.

    Any Reddit fans here?

    You can't conduct an intelligent conversation on Reddit/*india* - either Indians are prone to abuse/bad-behavior, or Reddit only attracts such people: (for completeness) silly comments in the extreme

    A new but very serious threat is showing up

    I found some info on WHO here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-52230833 The WHO approved a coronavirus test in January - but the US decided against using it, developing its own test instead. However, in February, when the testing kits were despatched, some of them did not work properly, and...

    A new but very serious threat is showing up

    Trump is a draft dodger - I suppose you are referring to the political war - not sure what that has to do with the common/real men? Or is it supposed to mean that he's a scumbag and typical of the American white male? (what I know of that is Russia couldn't have won World War single handedly)

    Well that's still pretty vague - you don't hang someone on hearsay and this is just non-existent data. However there are various issues with world bodies that are well understood: 1. take for example $ as the reserve currency (SWIFT network) 2. Asian oil premium You are claiming that China is...

    What's the average age of people on TechEnclave and Erodov - how come Indian colleges don't have their own board/forum?

    1. ah yes, thanks, I had no idea regarding whatsapp and telegram - I don't use a smartphone so.. 2. well broadly I agree and I do post on reddit, studentroom UK, USENET, IRC etc but it's still nice/essential to have something local..
