I think it's great from start to finish, but if you're able to put it down when you get to Chapter 12, where Groves is relentlessly hunting Gideon down and killing him over and over, it may not be for you. That said, I'd suggest going ahead anyway, because the style changes abruptly in the next chapter, and it may be more to your liking.

Don't believe its blurb though, it's described as a sort of humorous reference book, but it's a fictional narrative. I really liked the premise of Liminal States and I liked the start of the book a lot, but it lost me as it went on. The last section in particular was just a really unsatisfying conclusion for me; I felt that it jumped ahead a bit too far and too fast and left behind the most interesting part of the story.

Those Oreo and M&M cosmetics lifehacks make me sad, because they remind me of when I was in jail, and fellow inmates would use Jolly Ranchers and Skittles to make makeup so they'd look good for their boyfriends on visiting days. Lifehack: spend time in jail, learn LOTS of lifehacks

JacquelineDempsey posted:Lifehack: spend time in jail, learn LOTS of lifehacks Amen. I call it "jailcraft" or "prisoncraft". Wedging shampoo bottles between bars to hold up a cover for privacy when making GBS threads, tearing threads out of mats, using broken comb teeth as needles to sew socks (not allowed socks in my county jail), making spoons out of broken deodorant containers (not allowed food or utensils outside of meals either), jamming pencils into cracks to make clotheslines, washing clothes in the toilet, toasting food by heating your metal bunk or shelf, rolling papers to make sleeves to lengthen those stubby crappy pencils, boxes out of folded cards, all sorts of crap. poo poo's austere, people get creative. And yeah, it's depressing as hell.

Apparently jailers do not have their poo poo together nearly as much as I thought, if prisoners are equipped to heat their beds to food-cooking temperatures

Lock a person in a box with some supplies for a while and they'll eventually build a computer. Or, well, maybe a fancy shank. I think we all know that people will disobey rules, and come up with poo poo like jail moonshine and shanks but, seriously, heating a bed for food? I'm not even saying it's not true (it'd be a weird thing to make up) I'm just wondering if he just explained it badly because I can't understand what possible source of heat he could use to heat up a metal bedframe enough to cook food in it.

Ignite Memories posted:I meant the part where you're not allowed to have food but you're still cooking and eating food. Also, how the hell are you heating your bed enough to toast food? Yeah sorry that was pretty poorly written. Anyway, the jail in my county is kind of a special case. In *most* jails, as I understand, you can order food through commissary and eat it at your leisure, though utensils are still a no-no. Here they banned food outside of mealtimes and nixed it from the commissary menu (there are various legends explaining the origins of the ban). You could however buy certain toiletries, and some of it would come in what passes for reusable containers in those conditions. People would save and trade food in them (usually empty "hair-food" jars), and utensils improvised from shards of broken containers (deodorant was popular choice due to the scoop-like curvature). Otherwise you get a honey-bun and milk box for breakfast, hot lunch in a tray with a plastic spoon (collected and counted half an hour later), and dinner - at 4:30 - is a single slice of cold cut on white bread with stale chips and cookies in a styrofoam tray (cookies for prisoners?!? with MY tax dollars?!?). You tend to get hungry between 4:30 PM and breakfast at 7:30 AM the next day, so stashing food was a big thing. Normal blocks were 8 cells each maybe 4'x12', two metal bunks (top & bottom), each with a mat comparable to laying on a newspaper and a wool cover, two small metal shelves and an efficiency toilet/sink. Everything is all smooth and abuse/tamper proof, it's impressive the things people come up with in spite of such considerations. Toasting was done heating the beds/shelves by literally lighting a small fire beneath the thin metal shelf/bunk. There was one camera pointed at the wall, as if it was even on or monitored, it wouldn't have seen into the cells anyway. You had at least half an hour between walk-throughs. Necessary contraband (e.g. lighters) gets smuggled in. Dreadlocks, prosthetic limbs (dude had a crack pipe in his leg...htf they missed that idk), and of course you-know-where combined with a lazy jailer and it happens regularly. It tends to get crazier and crazier until someone pisses off a guard and they do a shakedown. They throw everything out and you get a day or two on "lockdown" where you're confined to your cell, a literal bathroom (don't like sleeping with your head 6 feet away from a toilet and making GBS threads the same distance from your celly? too bad). As if the tiny hallway and day room about half the size it ought to be were much nicer. Also jail and prison are very different. In prison you have a lot more options, sometimes things like electric water boilers are OK. Electrical sockets are rare in jail. Though one dude cracked my poo poo up trying to light a cigarette by jamming a something in a socket in the middle of the night in a dorm block. Big ol' flash/pop.

Modern jail moonshine is a feat because they don't have access to much raw fruit and the foods and drinks that are starchy or sugary are chock full of preservatives which greatly hinder yeast growth. Look on ingredients lists for benzoate, sorbate, or sulfate. Prisoners can overcome this problem by first making a yeast starter with the little bit of preservative-free sugary liquid they do have, and then adding it. The yeast will ferment, but not reproduce as quickly. Preferably, they'll use yeast from another active ferment to inoculate. What happens is that, by transferring yeast from another successful ferment and doing this for years, they've selectively bred a yeast strain that is highly resistant to common food preservatives. And probably done this inadvertently. Even if you were to remove all the yeast mothers and active ferments from the prison, and prisoners had to start over by capturing wild yeast, there's a good chance that they'll recapture their hearty strain from the environment. After one ferment, that yeast strain will be the most prevalent one. Then cider homebrewers hear stories about prisoners making booze from loving cans of soda and think they're full of poo poo.
