    frequently including sand, clay, egg white, goat’s hair, lemon juice, ash, and a technical water-

    The fuck is goat’s hair? Isn’t it called fur? Unless it’s specifically fur on their head?

      No I don’t think so. For instance we say cat hair but they have fur. I think it’s just a weird English thing.

      Usually hair is long and typically sparse on animals like us, fur is short and covers the whole body like a moose.

      Horse hair is very much a thing and used for insulation. I lived in an apartment in Boston built in the 1890s that had horse-hair insulation.

      I do think it’s from the mane and tail and not the fine fur of the body. But that would just be an assumption.

      I think it’s rather to distinguish between fur as being understood from skinning the animal and using the resulting hide including the hair versus cutting the hair from the skin and receiving the single hair strands and using those strands in construction.

      But just how I imagined it is meant, no idea if that is true.

        Seems like loose goat hair with clay could be used similarly to fiberglass with resin, or steel reinforcements in cement, just a different use case.

      A game is forcing me to cross-dress to gain access to an all-female area, inhabited by tall beautiful mommies? "Ohnooo"

      It was the Gerudo icehouse quest! It’s amazing to me how close to history I am sort of. When my grandma was little, they didn’t have fridges, and they used to pile snow and ice and compact it and then cover it with sawdust, behind the sauna where the sun wouldn’t be shining. She said it usually lasted till around June. Perhaps even later can’t remember and can’t ask anymore. RIP.

              Your very judgy for someone who has done nothing to make their own country great. Your only tie to greatness is that you were accidentally squeezed out of your mom’s junk in a convenient country.

              If you were born in Iran, you wouldn’t have done any better than they did.

                Project much? 🤣🖕🏼 For all you know, I could’ve done positively impactful things for decades before you ever squirted onto this tiny blue speck of a planet. You do you, keyboard ninja. 😚

                  Literally impossible. There is no way you could have done anything to move the needle on this country in any meaningful sense.

                  Your life in this country is insignificant. You’re one of hundreds of millions. You have done nothing of note. And our current status as a world power has nothing to do with you.

                  So stop trying to take credit for something you were accidentally born into. Be happy that you have the privilege of living here. Lord knows you wouldn’t be able to get here on your own as an immigrant.
