Seriously, consider manufacturing a gassifier.

At the very least, it will let you continue to eke out some needed electricity using small generators, and if you have old hoopties in the area (which will probably get abandoned without fuel to run them) that use carburetors,  you can run them on the wood gas, albeit at much lower horse power.

Been watching some animal rescue videos recently. Like who the fuck does this:

Generally animal rescuers will be people who don't want animals to be neglected or abused

[Reelya]

I mean the people who sealed a bunch of cats in boxes then dumped them, not the rescuers.

Owww that video... really I cant wrap my mind about how someone could even do that to some animal like that. That is a psyco alert rigth there.

And for the gassifier... I have seen into somethings but well, people have been jailed trying to do that kind of stuff based on being dangerous, unlicenced and fire hazards.

Got stitches from a mole removal. They sting a bit and itch a lot, and I can't scratch them.

At least they've stopped bleeding.

Mole removal? Was it a cosmetic thing or removing something dangerous?

It looked a little funny. They basically said "Probably nothing, we'll remove it just to be sure"

Moles can be pretty vicious. Their powerful claws can dig through flesh as fast as through earth. Removing them from their lairs without protection is dangerous

Actually I got to thinking that they might have been "excess stock" from some kitten farming operation.

On the 6 April, the Government introduced new legislation to improve the welfare of pets by banning third-party sale of puppies and kittens in England.

This is known as Lucy's Law and means it's now illegal for commercial dealers to sell puppies and kittens unless they have bred the animals themselves. Anyone wanting to get a new puppy or kitten in England must buy direct from a breeder or consider adopting from a rescue centre instead.

The cats were in too-good condition and 10+ kittens with identical coloring?

I'm regretting not nipping my OCD in the bud sooner. It would've been so much easier to do 4 months ago or even 2 months ago. I was even going to treatment for some of that time. I feel like I didn't do enough and like a moron.

This dude was actually trying to make gasoline somehow.... he had oil (as in petroleum) and all.

The physical principles aren't that hard, but I definitely don't recommend it. If you want to homebrew your oil, you really should buy a diesel instead.

Of course I recognise this is not helpful in your situation, but I'm speaking generally. I'm afraid I don't have any good advice for you personally, though I have been paying attention to your story and continue to wish you luck.

Thanks! And yeah, diesel cars are very rare here because gasoline was so cheap and all, in fact cars from the 60's and 70's are kinda common on the streets and their high gasoline consume was not issue because of it.

When the first nationwide black out hit us many how could bougth gasoline power plants but soon after the gas scarcity became a problem rendering them useless.

Diesel on the other hand is easier to produce and is still being made at some capacity by PDVSA, but not as much as needed anyway.

The thing about diesel engines, mainly, is that they can trivially be made to run on other oil-based fuels without the serious side effects that your standard gasoline engine would suffer. A guy on my road runs tractors on used cooking oil, which is actually a really commonplace thing because restaurants throw out so much of it.

Not true anymore. Those are *old* diesel engines. Modern diesel engines arenīt fuel-interchangeable anymore.
