@epoch The issue is that to make fuel you need fuel. We can buy biodiesel, not certain our older engine would like it tho, still need to do research, weigh pros and cons.

@magni Yea I know which blogs/videos you mean.

@oak I feel you. Hope you find something that works :<.

Yesterday a sailboat burst their diesel tank, and it emptied out into the harbour. The entire area reeked of it. Today, the coastguard was out there, trying to clean up the mess.

I really wish our boat did not carry fossil fuels, it would kill me to be responsible for a spill like this.

@aynish Yea, straight out, am just careful to use clean tools when I take some out.
If by dry brine you mean just using salt (no water), than yes, dry brine :>.

@wendy Nice, waterlocks are fun. Have one from when I used to make beer.
Because I used a dry-salt method I don't need weights, but I do need to pack the veg. 1L jars with a rubber seal and metallic spring work well. They allow for some 'burping', and don't let air in.

@dualhammers Online bank? I just have a Canadian bank account, which I can access online and now in person since we're back in the country.

Left is fermented carrots with spices—already started this jar and it is delicious. Right is the beets, having a messy temper tantrum.

Pickling some red beets right now, and it is a very violent fermentation. Could hear it fizzing and bubbling last night. Glad I put a container under it, because it's spitting red everywhere.
I may have over-filled the jar :>, in any case, some spillage is normal.

@mrus @neauoire here https://100r.co/site/liveaboard.html#costs and https://100r.co/site/sailing.html#costs (just realized we had two 'cost' sections, heh). But there are so many factors, maintenance will cost more on an older boat (like ours), and will cost even more if you sail a lot.

@oak Ha, I did not know that. I haven't yet re-visited this film as an adult :P.

@jameschip I made some pretty legit ones once, no special tools, just needs enough fat and heat.
I usually opt for simple breads too, but I do crave nan now and then :>...

@oak Watched this movie a lot as a kid :>.

@jameschip Taste of seared skin, lovely.
Looks like a nan~

@suvij Looks great, so much life in your sketch.

@oak Ferngully?
