The Old Knight

A youtuber carries out a social experiment on the underground.

Strange i've never had kale go to seed in the first year before as it's a biennial, carrots, onions, garlic, beetroot, leeks are easy to grow in plant pots or grow bags. However this year about half of my boltardy beetroot went to seed which was a shame, can't even keep the seed as I would be promoting that bolting behaviour.

Made me think of this lecture by Jordan B. Peterson - "2017 Personality 08: Carl Jung and the Lion King (Part 2)“ "The higher the prevalence of infectious diseases, the higher the probability of totalitarian political attitudes" Here's a short clip:

So i watched a Black Mirror episode that made me wonder about the future, season 3 episode 5 - "men against fire". In the future roaches are a perceived enemy and soldiers have brain implants, but not everything is what it seems. Worth a watch, made me think of neural link and how it could be abused.

Made me think of this from a few years back, people were collecting genetic samples from Russians including the Pentagon. If you had genetic data collected from all around the world you could make specific bio weapons to target certain ethnicity's, if you wanted them all targeted you'd have a complete genetic map.

Haven't found anything myself although I haven't had a proper look for it. Direct link to the vaccine stats I used in above post: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine-adverse-reactions

14th June Update:

Roadkill deer sounds good to me and you can get an air rifle without a firearms license 12 ft/lbs being the limit. Using a .177 will keep the fps up. Catapults can be deadly accurate you just need practice. https://www.pellpax.co.uk/airguns/air-rifles/nitro-piston-air-rifles

I expect most wouldn't forage as they have no clue what foraging is, i'm actually shocked at how many people can't cook as well. My guess is a couple million at the maximum would be out picking things seriously, most would turn to fishing and hunting pigeons. I've heard about wild boar in the forest of dean but there's only a couple thousand in the country as a whole, illegally released or escaped. Best thing to store is white rice, hard grains and dried beans. White rice can go 25+ years if kept in the right conditions. Also get yourself a gas ram pellet gun or a slingshot with loads of extra ammo and bands.

Two things this forum's missing is a prepping, gardening section. Food preps, gear, food storage, CB radio, ham, learning how to use old satellites would be good. On top of that a gardening section where people can share what they're growing etc.
