Oak gall ink made last week

Maple wood pen ebonized by soaking In the oak gall tannin water and then dipping in iron (same process to make ink but onto the wood). Took about 3 days with a dull saw, an old rusty rasp, a pocket knife, and sandpaper.

brass holder was confiscated from a cheap pen, and used blue pumpkin or hunt 101 nib

Day 2 of learning copperplate

I’m going to make another pen because I have ideas about handle design/weight distribution/tail length, sanding it better, finish process, etc. as much as I love this one and the look, it taught me all the things to do better

Oregon Oak Gall Ink

My brother and I went foraging I found some oak galls and he collected magnolia leafs.

I made the oak gall ink with iron and gum Arabic, and it’s really cool because it goes down light and darkens over 5-10 seconds into pure black.

His magnolia ink turned out to be a very golden light brown

mc-hg is back

hardcorekits.com

I am a DB/Web Programmer for my main job, and I used to play mc-hg. com back when I was a teenager.

I haven't been able to find anything remotely close to it in last 5 years so I rebuilt a 1 to 1 remake of it with all of the classic kits and rules. This is basically like if you opened mc-hg back in 2013: pretty much the same thing.

Come play. There is only 1 server for now, so if you try to join and a game in ongoing you will have to wait for it to end and join on next game just like the original.

notebook found help

Found a notebook at a park with some strange writings about computer programs, governments, tree structures, etc. Kinda looked like a fine line between a genius and a schizo.

Anyways, found this Latin page. Could any of you read it? I noticed it looks similar to The Great Seal of America and Nomen means name. But beyond that I’m stumped. Thanks!

Proper Spread Mechanics

I’ve intuitively known why most barefoot shoes are wrong for a couple years now. This is my attempt at trying to share my knowledge as drawings.
Comparing the structures of the foot to the hand to intuitively connect it if you don’t understand anatomy. I hope everyone can understand and find the right shoe for themselves.

Note:

one thing I forgot to write is this simple experiment:

squeeze around your palm tightly with one hand so that you squeeze the palm bones together. Then try to spread your fingers out as wide as they’ll go. They’ll be restricted?

Then release the grasp so the bones can free and see how much further they spread.

Now imaging if your palms were always wrapped and your fingers became useless and couldn’t spread even when unwrapped. That’s most feet.

Does anyone remember this being Chic-Fil-A all the way up until a week or so ago?

I ordered it so many times in 2025 and always typed chic fil a. asked my brother and mom and they both spelled it with just a ‘c’.

I looked at the internet and it’s like every thing changed overnight

Budscraping

Definition: using dry herb to scrape off and soak up various things like sticky oil off fingers or leftovers in jars.

I used to get a lot of oil stuck to my fingers when packing hash/oil bowls, and I developed a method to grab the oil with a bit of dry bud on my fingers, and then use more bud to scrape it off into the bowl.

Then you remove all the sticky oil, and get extra oily herb on top. And then any leftover stick I’ll rub my fingers into my grinder to get it all unstuck to me and stuck to the bud I’ll smoke tomorrow.

I love bud scraping. Almost 7/10

If you could rewind time, but

If you could rewind time, but

A) not go back to present or fast forward

B) keep aging to get back to the moment you went back from

Would you?

Say you rewinded back 20 years. Then you would basically lose 20 years of the end of your original timeline because you’d have to “catchup” but your body would keep aging.
Every past moment you replay is a future moment you’d lose.

Wait, that’s just what thinking about things that happened before is like rather than living in the moment. Every moment thinking back or forward in time is an “act” you don’t get to append to the chain of your outside acts. Basically losing time.

Has anyone ever finished a canister of Salvia?

I bought some 50x, and smoked it 3 times in the same week.

Everytime I did it I thought “I never want to do that again.”

After the third time I stopped, and it’s been 10 years. Still not urge.

I started thinking about the size of the salvia canisters you get from smoke shops, and was wondering if anyone ever finished one through.

I suspect that 99% of those canisters get like 1 or 2 hits from them and then end up in trash because it’s just too much. Even after you and all your friends use it and stare at a wall for a few hours thinking “what the actual fuck was that” there is still so much left.

TLDR: There is too much power in one canister of salvia. I want to hear the crazy people who enjoyed it enough to smoke it all, or the people who tried it and were “completed” and understand what I’m saying (share your experience).

My one friend after begging to use salvia for days and I kept telling him I do not recommended. In fact I said don’t do it it’s not fun. He was like a happy little boy tho begging non-stop super excited to try something new. At the very end he looked like he was sent to 20 wars, so shooken up and like he hated me for ever even bringing up the idea of salvia. He said “I realize how chill weed is now. I love weed so much. I’m never doing that shit again”. It’s hard to stop someone who is excited and curious, but they also will wish you had stopped them once it’s over. It’s this weird loop.

It can actually be terrifying. And not in the way you’d expect to be able to handle. Out of body terrors that your animal body would never experience and probably shouldn’t. You get ripped out of reality. If you’re at a social party and anyone trying to get you to do it, they want to fuck you up and have fun watching

Final point: rip to all the one pinched salvia canisters sitting in random drawers all around the world

Inter Being Protocol - friend called it the Matrix

Sibling to W-W-W/H-T-T-P, but for beings at positions. Most people do not think this deeply into protocols and base internet, so this may breeze over many. But the video is an example of it in action looking through a portal (new protocol browser). If you like deep system thinking, the IBP docs will go deeper.

Old verbs: get, put, delete, edit. These are operations on resources. Documents. Files. Records. The web's mental model. There are things at URLs, and you manipulate them with CRUD operations.

verbs: see, do, talk, be. These are operations on a world. You observe it. You change it. You engage with beings in it. You manage who you are within it. Verbs about inhabiting rather than about manipulating.

The video is the new browser to interact with ibp. I have a traditional browser that is more W-W-W oriented (document based and H-T-M-L) but realized this protocol opens up a whole new interface, so I built this 3d world in 2 hrs to begin to show it from a new perspective.

This is 2 years of my deep system design studying hierarchy, LLMS, and computer history/systems in general. It is very early but for those who know what to look for, they will recognize something here.

Link to protocol in comments but its early
