Welcome to /ub/ - Überhengst

No.3
German for "over stallion," and a reference to Nietzsche's "Übermensch," /üb/ - Überhengst is about bettering yourself physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. It is about self-improvement, constructive self-reflection, and seeking advice from others. You may discuss here those personal hobbies through which you develop your creative energies, and the efforts you take to improve your talents, artistic and otherwise. And of course, this is a board for fitness and literature, as they are parts of the backbone of physical and mental wellness. This is also a board where we may discuss Western culture - history, literature, architecture, and philosophy - as when imbibed, culture improves the mind and spirit, sharpening mental faculties, and providing a greater connection to those around you and to civilizations millennia old.

As this is a self-improvement board, discussions of personal problems should be constructive. No wallowing in self-pity. We are here to become better, and while seeking company in misery may be a helpful part of the process, the process does not end there.

Enjoy!

There are a few things I'd like to do in this thread
- document my soap making process
- document process changes and upgrades to equipment
- detail common problems when making soap
- answer any soap making questions
- eventually let everyone know when and where product can be purchased
Basically everything to do with soap.

I'm not concerned about telling somebody how to make a product that I'm selling either. There are a few reasons for this: Some people won't be able to receive such a product overseas, or it wouldn't be feasible to ship. I'm not so petty to think that trying to conceal information somehow results in "job security". The soap making process is already quite well documented. Finally, I didn't start making soap to make money with, I started because of the memes, but also to have a product to better prepare myself for economic collapse.
I wish to share this with you guys so (you) too can better prepare yourself for whatever is coming.

Lets start with the boring stuff, like what is soap?
I would define soap as a surfactant. A surfactant is a molecule that will bind to water, oil, and particles.
The US legal definition is 'soap made from natural ingredients'. Synthetic soap is often sold as 'beauty bars' or 'body wash' instead of soap, because they are not made with natural ingredients.

Most modern engine and transmission oils, and heavy grease used for equipment will contain detergents. Don't let the word detergent mislead you, it means the same thing as surfacant.

Lye harvested for soap making in ages past is called potash. The potash lye soap making process is a fair bit more involved, and the chemical reactions are a bit different. https://classicbells.com/soap/woodAshLye.asp
Potash soap has been made for a very, very long time. If one of you decides to try this out, please let us know how it goes!

"modern" naturally made soap uses either potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide for the lye. Sodium hydroxide is used for making liquid soaps, sodium hydroxide for solid soap bars.
The easiest way to get sodium hydroxide is from a hardware store selling containers of "pure lye" drain unclogger in the plumbing section. For example https://www.homedepot.com/p/Instant-Power-Crystal-Lye-Drain-Cleaner-1650/204374017

Soap made from natural ingredients is a very sloppy chemical reaction. There are untold numbers of different chemicals and compounds found naturally in any given type of oil. Most of those oils will react with the lye to make some rather complex reactions that result in "soap". It is not uncommon for the soap to change color as it cures for this reason.

Oils are typically mixed and matched to make a nice bar of soap, as no single oil has a good mix of the fatty acids necessary for a good bar of soap.

When making your first batch of soap:
Start with solid bars of soap, instead of trying to make liquid soap. Liquid soap is much pickier about what kind of oils you use.
Use an existing recipe for your first batch, then try to make soap using as much local products as possible. When economic collapse happens, getting those foreign oils will be much more difficult or impossible.
Start with a 2:1 water:lye ratio. If your recipe calls for 12 ounces of lye, use 24 ounces of distilled water. Ignore however much water the recipe calls for.

When building your own recipe, or modifying an existing one, use the following two web pages:
http://soapcalc.net/calc/SoapCalcWP.asp
https://classicbells.com/soap/soapCalcNumbers.asp
And when in doubt, ask in here.

This first post is just a boring autistic dump on chunks of important or related information. I'll post a lot more (actual making) soap stuff when I get the chance. I think this is a pretty good start though.

Be sure to ask whatever in here about anything related. Over the last year I've been pretty autistically going over how most people make soap, refining my own process, and doing fairly deep-diving research on the topic and general chemistry.

shorter shitpost this time
https://sweethaven-soaps-and-sundry.storenvy.com/products/36734801-morning-in-the-library-bar
Got one of their bars at harmonycon and while I was trying to search for their web page I had their soap sitting on my computer desk. In the short amount of time its been sitting here, I got a bit of a headache just from the shitty fragrance they use for their soap.
I'll probably use it once, maybe twice, but I expect to break out in rashes from the shitty fragrance.
Apparently they use a pre-mix of oils sold to soap makers because they can't brain hard enough to figure it out themselves.
They only list a couple of bars of soap on that page but they had a lot more, including bath bombs, at their harmonycon table. They were also one of the only ones wearing a mask other than the furfags.
Their soap is also freaking tiny, less than half the size of a "I Can't Believe It's Not..." soap bar.
At least the colors are interesting with swirls and stuff I guess. Mica is expensive to use for soap dye, but it does offer more control over color and is generally more vibrant.
Their soap bar was somewhat squishy, which means either they did not let it cure long enough to let the water evaporate, or they didn't use enough lye.

Gave them a bar of "I Can't Believe It's Not Appul" soap, maybe they will drop their soap making thing out of shame.

I know I sound like I'm out there to destroy everyone who tries to make pone-themed soap, but its really not the case. There was a lot of dialog while I was talking with them and was never rude about it. They were just starting and were trying their best.
They mentioned they wanted to make some proper old-school soap by collecting ashes and extracting the lye and selling that at a renaissance fair. Good luck Sweethaven Soaps and Sundries, its a lot of extra work on top of everything else.

sure
made a batch a couple weekends ago, about 7 gallons. Need to bottle it now. Probably going to try a few different things before getting something good to take to mare fair.
the yeast isn't working too good, mostly because there isn't a way to regulate the brewing temp and the swings tends to kill the yeast.
I want to get a cheap costco chest freezer and put a temp control probe in it to keep the temps around 66F. Or maybe I can find a used chest freezer.

I'm coming to my wits end with this shit. I'm getting tired of feeling drained and passionless towards what I used to love. I want to write again. I want to enjoy playing games again. I want to wake up and not feel like I got to fap first just to get out of bed. I want to feel something other then nothing.

The thing is when I try I always fall right back in. I've made it three days and I saw some cleavage and suddenly got horny I thought I would collapse. I left and had to drive home but the urge would go away! I couldn't fight it and I felt so disgusted with myself. The moment I got home, I had to jerk it.

How do you guys deal with these urges? How do I get a life back?

Thanks Anon. Similar to you I find it almost impossible to go more than a week. Guess we're both pretty far down the rabbit hole. Climbing out will take effort and will. Glad you're here.
>Hiding the root passwd like that is a great idea
Thanks, it was going great all week except today I clicked for a terminal window and saw that I never logged out of my root session from last week. I was blindsided with unexpected root access and I tore down my barriers. Another afternoon lost to the goon. DAMMIT DAMMIT DAMMIT

Today's disaster aside, the plan is still solid. Keeping busy is helping. I'm developing a personal finance plan (which I could have finished today FUCK). I have some crypto and this week has been good. Thinking the bulls are in charge for a while, for stocks and crypto.

>repelling urges by doing a set number of push-ups or sit-ups each time instead
Good idea. I also like the idea of praying to St. Michael.

>I have a long road back to God but I will walk it.
<Too long didn't read. You're already with God. Rest in Him.
Sorry bro, but I have to correct that misunderstanding.
Ackqually, Jesus already finished the work. It's all on Him and what He did for you (us all).
Come home.
Talk it out with Jesus as soon as possible. One thing is that the fruit of the spirit includes self-control, it is Him working within you (us all).
While anyone can say and try going and doing it alone, making an attempt, it's better to cooperate with God.
That being you believe in Jesus' finished work on the cross and accept His payment in blood and that applies to you. He's got the heavy lifting, His yoke for you is lighter than without.
>What do I mean?
He's covered your sins, He said it's finished He did it on all sin ever.
Just walk boldly into the throne room son of God, friend of Jesus, saintly sibling, dwelling place of The Holy Ghost of God.
His work remains and lasts forever.
You're already home, He brought you at His own expense, rest in Him.
Take off those heavy weights, Jesus already lifted them for you. You never have to have to obey the lies of the world ever again.
He is with you, inside and outside and within and even deeper and more.
Spend a moment to realize that God, Jesus, The Holy Ghost, The Father is with you always.
Even in the midst of sin, look to Jesus. Even as whatever is playing or being done, He's stretching out His hands to help you and have you realize you're home with a holy hug.
He'll place it under your feet, you partake in Jesus' victory because He's sharing it.
He washed you.
He wants you to have the inheritance. He wants you in His family.
He's continually knocking, you only need to open up for Him.

Will try that. I have prayed before to God but shall do it more frequently
>Genre?
Some (fairly generic?) very fast electronic music, in the style of 2000's action racing games. For me it took quite a while to start, and the goal is to make myself used to using a tracker (schismtracker). I thought about making a thread, basically like bale, where anons could come together and we could make an album. Depending on how many would participate I think everypony would be free to have multiple songs. But it's just a thought
>Language?
C, though I will finally start doing POSIX shell scripting because it's ridiculous to have gone so long without it. A little art project is underway too, getting into pencil drawing again.

It's not worth throwing your endocrine system out of whack. Your endocrine system is adaptive and fluid, but that means that if you stimulate it artificially it can be thrown off balance as it tries to account for the artificial inflation of growth hormones. Hormones are for trannies.
Work hard and you can bodybuild without chemical assistance. There is no substitute for diet and exercise.
>a lot safer than road
Barely. They have fewer short-term issues, but potentially much more long term detriment.
"Athletes" like them because they're difficult to detect.
>What peptides did you use and who are some good suppliers?
If you're that desperate, go on tranny discord servers and tell them you're a trans man trying to transition but you're poor with unsupportive parents. They'll hook you up with the strongest shit.

I think I have an idea for everyone here, with or without homes, to take control of their finances and/or lifestyle. /nomad/: Homeless/traveling advice, personal stories, finances, what have you. If you've seen someone talking about homeless living on this site, that's usually me. I've done it before but now I'm seeing all kinds of opportunities and fun from it since I'm not being bled dry by debt. So I think I'll share a little advice:

Can't fit everything in a car or bag/cart? Buy a storage unit; between $25 and $75 depending on quality of storage. Put anything you don't want stolen in there, lower your back seat, and sleep with your legs in the trunk. With a blanket and pillow you can get a comfortable rest, and with a simple black fabric long enough to cover your windows/windshield, you won't need to worry about the sun or onlookers. You can also get a dolly for your car, or a trailer. This can also be taken advantage of if you want somewhere to sleep other than your car, since teardrops can be under 1000 pounds (light enough for a small sedan to tow), or even as light as 500 pounds (light enough for a bike to tow).

Want clean and ironed clothes? Get a fabric dresser; I found one at the Lidl grocery store (pic related), comes with a bunch of metal rods and connectors with little fabric shelves. One piece is a hanging bar you can put ironed shirts on. It fits in the aforementioned 5x5 storage space perfectly, and fits more than two duffel-bags' worth of clothing easily and neatly with several shelves for underwear, undershirts, or what have you.

Don't want to waste money on fast food or stick to shitty canned goods just to eat and survive? A butane or propane coil-stove runs a very small fee and fits damn near anywhere; I got a collapsible stainless-steel charcoal grill that is about the size of a Swiss Army duffel-bag and has space for almost anything. It can be used to boil impurities out of water, brew tea or coffee, grill foods with a heavy patty press or a broiler basket, all kinds of stuff. You can also get a cooler and get a bag of ice each week for anything you need chilled like meat or dairy. I'm going to read Cooked: A History of Transformation to accompany my own culinary journey~

Need to keep your hygiene on point? Don't want to waste a bunch of money on baby wipes to keep your face grime-free? Get a gym membership. At $10 a month, Planet Fitness' base membership lets you hang around one specific PF location with showers, sinks with mirrors for shaving at, and of course all the goodies you'd want at a gym. Upgrade said membership for I think $12 extra and you can also get access to a damn sauna, on top of being able to go to any PF you want, ideal for traveling while remaining fit (and in my case, getting cardio in without a sunburn).

Need a residential address, not just a mailing address/PO box? Go to the Salvation Army in your area; many of them offer amenities such as a temporary residential address/forwarding address, and if you ask, they can even set you up with an address not outwardly affiliated with them, so prospective employers don't think you're living in a shelter and may be more likely to hire you.

I gotta tell ya, guys, going homeless (intentionally and not just out of desperation) was the best decision I've ever made in my life. Ever.

Saw this, and figured I'd drop some things to be careful about -if- you decide to go nomad, boondock, or other living-travel stuff.

https://invidio.us/watch?v=EQPIM7lwpaE
This vid is mostly for RVers, but it's a good resource for anyone living in their car too.

PF is a cheap membership, but they also have EXTREMELY predatory cancelling schemes. They basically tie you up in hoops and ropes to jump through just to get free of them, and hope that you would rather be stuck with a forever-debt that you'd never want to quit. If you use it and need it, that's fine, but beware of the cancellation fee.

To add onto gym memberships, if you have insurance that allows you to get Silver Sneakers, Most gyms that have Silver sneakers are basically free (aside from all other costs other than membership). If you're lucky, the gyms that have Silver Sneakers could be even better than PF ever will be.

Driving bigger vehicles means bigger problems. Skoolies and step-trucks require specialized mechanics and parts, and shit can get STUPID expensive FAST. The Department of Transportation (for US citizens) routinely stops step-trucks and other for inspections. You'd probably have to put "PRIVATE VEHICLE, NOT FOR HIRE" on your step-truck if you use one. But then again, this thread is more for the frugal lifestyle.

The Bureau of Land Management and National Forest Service has places that you can camp for free at (usually up to a week or two at most), as do some Rest Areas and stores allow free overnight parking. HOWEVER. the quality, safety, and actually-free-price of the areas can be wildly-inconsistent. Not all BLM or NFS places completely free, and most of the time, there are ZERO amenities there, as in, you're out on your own in the middle of nowhere.

Even then with other costs, paid-for campgrounds can be cheaper to stay than a hotel, even if the booking requirements are far steeper. Camping in winter is easier to reserve, but they need to be open in the first place, and more often than not, quite a few campgrounds aren't open in the winter.

Need to stay warm? Is there snow on the ground and it's cold as fuck outside? Get a heavy sleeping bag and one or more wool blankets 100% wool if possible, but otherwise get what you can. You might be able to find 100% wool at jo-ann fabrics, hobby lobby, or other craft stores with sewing as the mainstay.

If you need to buy stuff online and have it shipped to you, get a PO box at a post office. This will minimize the problem of Porch Pirates too.

If you're gonna spend a lot of money on anything, splurge on boots for your feet and tires for your car. research boot brands and nerd the fuck out on them to find the good shit. a good pair of boots that is well-maintained will last you a long time, and a good pair of tires will keep you safer on the road.

IF you're bored and need a constructive and time-consuming hobby, I recommend crocheting or knitting. The crafts take a long time, but you can make some nice and cozy shit with it. You could even create a waterproof sleeping mat out of cut-up-grocery store bags too.

One problem plaguing a lot of people these days, especially burgers like myself, is that many people eat out at restaurants too much instead of preparing home cooked meals. Eating out is frequently both more expensive and less healthy for you than a home cooked meal. Furthermore, many people live with a limited library of meals that they know how to prepare and don't realize the culinary possibilities that are right in front of them.

The purpose of this thread is to try to break that habit of eating out and to make cooking at home become the norm in our lives. Please share meal ideas and how to prepare them here. All meals are welcome, although preferably we should post meals that are easy to prepare so that novice cooks will not be intimidated by the prospect of preparing them for themselves. Even simple sandwiches are fair game. Sometimes that may mean cutting corners with pre-made mixes instead of preparing everything from scratch.

Remember that the goal isn't necessarily to post the most inexpensive meals or the healthiest meals, although those meals are certainly very welcome. The goal is to encourage people to dust off their kitchen appliances and flex their atrophied cooking muscles. I realize that this opens the door to culinary nightmares like /tg/'s infamous meat-bread, but so be it. Let's get cooking!

I rarely eat fast food anymore, got out of it during the covid lockdowns and when I tried to eat it again it was all so PACKED with salt that it made me sick. had a chik-fil-a chicken sandwich and fries and it took me all day to recover from all the salt, no wonder we have a high blood pressure and heart disease epidemic, not too mention it all got hit by shrinkflation so not only is it way more expensive but they cut the portions in half

Good point, although I feel that if sex weren't a physiological need but instead a social/psychological need that would put it even higher on the pyramid.
It's arguable that people don't actually need sex, but it's still in the same category as the rest of the lizard-brain physiological impulses (eating, breathing, pooping, shelter, etc).

Resolutions for 2020 and beyond

Happy New Year /ub/. We all know New Years' resolutions are a popular way that people try to effect positive changes in their life. This board is all about that, so tell me, what are your resolutions for 2020 and beyond? It is even the start of a new decade (depending on who you ask), so all the more reason to view today as the start of a new chapter in your life.

Here are mine:
>NoFap 2020
My best streak last year was 29 days and it was doing me a great good. At the very least I need to go 90 days this time around.
>Limit internet usage
I have blocked most time-wasting websites for most hours of the day. That includes 4chan, after all nothing useful happens there anymore.
>No background music when working at the computer
It's either distracting or I don't notice it's there, so why even bother? I can focus better in silence anyway.
>Read more
Despite taking the redpill I have yet to read any of the suggested literature to form an intellectual foundation. Three days a week, one hour a day, should be easy right?
>Go to church
I am not religious by nature but it seems like the best time to find a family-oriented young woman would be Sundays.

I think that to increase the odds of success you should make multiple resolutions and make effort on all of them. Hopefully at least one will stick. I was able to keep one resolution from 2019 (lifting) which has already improved my life significantly. So let's hear them, /ub/.

Dunno why but I thought about how we skipped Feb 29 this year which reminded me of my last post here Leap Day last year. Neat to see some new activity.

2020 retrospective: 1/5.

>NoFap 2020
Never exceeded 47 days.
>Limit internet usage
Nope.
>No background music.
Turned out okay, mostly. But I started up with this again six weeks or so ago so almost shouldn't cont.
>Read more
I reread LOTR. Still not good with this.
>Go to church
lol COVID

For 2021 (here on) I'll try the first 4 again, and substitute church with financial planning. I've had some luck and crypto's been good lately so no excuse to not start building a capital base and passive income. Also for NoFap I'm on Day 22, though in a moment of weakness I browsed porn 2 days ago. Turned away but killed more of my day than I want to admit.

Still lifting. The habit is now a mental pillar of mine. Never giving it up.

Remind yourself that it's just that, fear. The sensation is fleeting anyway.

I have gotten over the fear of missing out on new food. Eating a consistebtly healthy diet is comforting and pure.

Does anyone even make New Year's resolutions anymore? I know of no one that even made mention it this year.
Anyway I need to be more organized in my life. Bought a record book to start an achievement diary to record what I did each day to help stick with it.

not really, or at least I don't make any resolutions. In general I'm way too busy to make a resolution that would hamper future issues that need to get fixed/made/addressed should I be strict about following the resolution.
Normally I'll just review what needs to be done for the year and have a small mental list that I work on as time marches forward. Generic things like "replace the old plumbing, fix car, do things to help keep food around when the economy dies..." most things on the list are such large projects that to do all of it all at once would be a month or more only working on that, but I still need to go to work for cheap jewbucks.
So stuff gets done as I can get to it.

At this point in time, taxes made being a specialist unsustainable. I can't work my highly skilled occupation (outside of union or government) enough to pay for somebody else to do all the things I need to get done.

I know it's a christmas tradition for me to post here but I'd rather not. Then again, fuck it.

My life is going good. I tried talking to my little sister, but my parents groomed and brainwashed her, she's still hating me because they told her to and refusing to talk to me about it. No change there, she's still gone. Choosing to be my parents daughter, not my sister. I don't resent who she chooses to be but I wish she didn't resent me for being hated by abusive groomers. I have a woman and I like this woman. I finally know what it's like to have a genuinely positive relationship with a woman. I thought I did once or twice before but looking back I was just in denial about how she treated me and how little I knew about relationships. Now I definitely have a good relationship with a woman. We read books. Her taste in literature isn't the same as mine but it's still valid. If I was an insecure child I think I'd try to find an excuse to dislike it. Looking back I regret calling my roommates gay retards, they're cool now and they've been cool for a while. Except for the guy who got himself arrested for something retarded, he got replaced with a different cool roommate. It's fucked up that I posted here ranting about that Chatoyance douchebag whenever he pissed me off when we talked. I wasn't trying to get anything to use against him, I just wanted to befriend the guy even though his irrationality and casual hatred of my race pissed me off so much. That wasn't a healthy foundation for a friendship. What was I thinking? Did I really expect a moment where he said "wow for a white human you're really non evil, maybe I misjudged your species and should stop drinking libtard koolaid and playing damage control for epstein island aristocratic jews"? I didn't consciously expect it, I just wanted to see where it would go, but now that it went to a gay retarded place it feels pointless in retrospect. The bitter boomer hates all white men and embraces libtard's toxic conceptualization of femininity and fanatical materialism and escapist pseudointellectual "transhumanism" because he failed to grow into a genuinely good man and by the standards of western masculinity he is not a genuinely good man, his parents and upbringing can be blamed for this, he resents his father and views him as the devil, the representation of le toxic masculinity, and it's retarded. My mother and father were pieces of shit too and I don't hate all white people over it. My own mother raped me when I was a boy and I don't hate all women over it. Tragic that modern therapy doesn't view Chatoyance as somebody who needs help to become sane and should get some help. Still fucked up that when he found out about this place he posted private messages from our conversation on his page then deleted it later after his friends laughed over the gay shit I said in private messages. That's fucked up. I didn't post anything here he hadn't shared publically already. I'll never know what he considered worth reposting from our conversation and I don't care. Fuck that guy and fuck trying to hide parts of yourself to befriend people who want you dead. Leftists want whites dead or conquered. That won't change. There is no reasoning with them. If reasoning with them worked the 2010s era Gamergaters would have successfully debated all feminists into seeing the light. I've met some overly online people and my new year's resolution is to avoid repeating their mistakes. And also finish my work on some of the games I'm passionate about making. That's important too. So far my break from being so online is going good. I'll let you all know how it's going if I feel like coming here next year.

I can tell you've never been to a small town in Pennsyltucky, stopped at an Amish farmer's market, and seen half the family come shambling out to lick your car's mirrors and windows. Many such cases.

This is true. Petroleum is useful for a lot of things. Synthesizing organic drugs from Petro chemicals has enabled people to produce them in far better quantities and purity than, say, grinding up willow tree bark into a paste.
