Candles can be made from animal fat, such as beef/mutton tallow. Also used for soap.

Actually that makes sense: after all ancient Greeks had invented some steam engines but never really used it for anything. Similarly, internal combustion engines seem to be a solution to a problem we don't have yet. I suspect this helped Jason put in place the logic to other complex techs.

I read that before gasoline engines were created/mass produced, gasoline was just dumped in a river to dispose of it. #RockefellerProblems

Well. Lesson I learned... I'm bad at dice rolls, and I was literally the worst mom on the server.

Also, maybe it's natural selection's way of making sure I don't reproduce. big_smile

I definitely think that if you have a baby girl and she /dies you should get a girl on your next child. I don't know. Call it destiny, instead of re-rolling the dice again.

I had a life last night where I died at 60 as a woman, and I had zero children the entire time. Even checked the family tree, next generation was 2 nieces. Weird?

I used to work with this woman who came to the US from Ghana. She told me people got malaria 2-3 times a month there. Drugs are cheap to cure it though. But there's no such thing as a malaria vaccine. It's a parasite.

Oh yes and I almost forgot probably the most important things that allowed modern industrial revolution, big cities, etc: discovery of penicillin.

I'd argue the discovery microorganisms cause communicable disease moved us into the modern age. It led not only to antibiotics, but also vaccines and public health systems (water sanitation, sewage disposal, food safety, etc.).  Until 60-70 years ago, the top 3 causes of death were infectious diseases.

The problem starting out with aluminum is that it was traditionally very hard to make.

Aluminium was difficult to refine and thus uncommon in actual usage. Soon after its discovery, the price of aluminium exceeded that of gold and was only reduced after the initiation of the first industrial production by French chemist Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville in 1856.
