  • I feel the same way. Is leavened bread science? Nixtamalization? Collecting raw materials with interesting properties? Observing river and ocean currents? Making plant based medicine, dyes, or clothes? Tanning hides?

    There are so many skills developed and improved on over time for us to have gotten to where we are. Ugg the cavemen or an early farmer or a stargazing shepard wouldn’t have called themselves scientists, but they were most certainly doing science.


  • Consumer Reports had been around for a long time and should be available at any library. There is the NYT Wirecutter and r/BuyItForLife. You can also see what friends and family have night and how it worked out. On YouTube, Rose Anvil cuts apart footwear of all price points to see what is worth it, and Project Farm tests tools and some household items.

    You’ll always find people saying brand A is great and brand B stinks and then someone who says the opposite, but after a while you’ll notice some names that just pop up as good or bad a lot. Also keep in mind some stuff will fit one person better or be more ergonomic for them, so keep that in mind when you see the brand A or B is better or worse discussions.

    Tldr, don’t buy the cheapest or the most expensive thing. One is cutting corners, and one has extra behavior and whistles that are nice but not necessary to function.




  • This one was also a pleasant surprise for me. Really liked how Henry was played. Characters felt fleshed out better than a lot of westerns. There were a number of good surprise turns, and it kept my interest the whole runtime.

    I don’t think you’d have to be too much into westerns to be into this because of the good writing and acting. You could probably call this a historical drama as much as a western.
