And that..bandages can be improvised without superglue would be a good suggestion. Just would heal even less than a normal bandage would (clean water + rags as an alternative crafting formula?)Well, to a certain degree you can do that. You can use rags to stop bleeding, if you don't have bandages or a first-aid kit. But then, it doesn't do anything other than stop bleeding, so yeah.
I find bandages to be far more common than superglue...On the other hand, superglue has few other uses and it's not too hard to find the ingredients for it, assuming you've enough cooking skill.
No, see, they made their bottle opener with SCIENCE and RESEARCH. Totally different from your grandma's.I spent every dollar I had and what do I have to show for it? A piece of bent aluminum. Please help me.
That bottle openers not new. My grandma has one screwed to the underside of a cabinet.
Spot on, GG. If you seek out the proper tools(lessons, online guides, books, or hey, even an already skilled friend), it is entirely possible(well, save for situations where it's literally impossible(person lacking both their arms wanting to draw(then again, with a little creativity...))) to gain some skill in whatever thing you want to do.Most people CAN be good at most things (not at the same time obviously), and this is specifically talking about a thing most people can explicitly be good at.just keep trying and you'll get better eventually.Comments like this always make me as-close-to-angry-as-I-get.
When people who are good at things assume that anyone can be good at a thing.
Mind you, practice along isn't usually enough - it needs to be studious practice. Practicing poorly won't get you anywhere, and the whole "teacher" thing is pretty much explicitly about enabling studious practice, after all.
Thanks guys! Would it surprise you that I'm not sure what "PTW" means? But I assume "play to win".Heh, that's what I thought it meant at first too.
