DiscombobulatedDunceIf I was in 1000 AD, how could I treat an infection with modern knowledge? I got into a really long conversation with some people about this on Reddit so I figured I'd do a full write up. There were a lot of suggestions in the thread like honey, garlic, wine, onions and so on but that's using knowledge of the time. Plus honey was really expensive and a very seasonal item. You can way more easily turn wood ash into lye/strong base, use that as a bleach to disinfect cloths, make soaps, and clean working surfaces and it'll be way more effective than the poultices and home remedies you're thinking of in your head currently. The general process would be, burn hardwoods to create ashes, sift the ashes so it's all an even texture, wash the ashes in copious amounts of charcoal filtered, boiled, and settled water (use more water than ashes as to not give yourself lye burns) then filter through a cloth to get the non dissolved particulates out. You can then boil off the water to get a powder and mix it in measured proportions to get a highly diluted bleach analog and use it in whatever soap making or cleaning processes you want. Find tree nuts like acorns to press into usable oil, or barter for grain oils and animal fats to make soaps. Buy some vinegar to use as a direct antiseptic (better than nothing), wax to impregnate cloths for water resistant bandages/wound sealant, and some copper plates or pans so that you avoid having your gauzes, packings, and bandages touching dirty porous surfaces and you're practically off to the races. I can go into more depth about actually how to make the soap, make rudimentary pH testing strips, and all that but this post is already getting long. If you have some input I'd love to read it!

go to BOKatTOOTdotCATJohn F Carr will turn 80 this Christmas, and it looks like he's retired from writing.¹ I've just finished <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#reading</a> "The Wizard Traders War," the final story in his 2020 collection, _Paratime War_.² <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/AlternateHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AlternateHistory</a>It also looks like Carr has put away his toys with this tale, wrapping up his additions to H Beam Piper's <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/Paratime" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Paratime</a> canon. Home Time Line has survived for ten thousand years living off of the ideas, resources, and people it has taken from other timelines. Not anymore. <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/AltHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#AltHistory</a>[Spoilers]In this story he has Hadron Tharn, megalomaniac little brother of Hadron Dalla (Verkan Vall's wife, and Paratime Police Chief since he decided he didn't want the desk job), lead a prole revolt on Home Time Line. It was meant to make Hadron Tharn the Leader of Home Time Line, but the prole generals betrayed him. He went scorched earth on them. The Paratime Police Tower, as well as most of the residential megatowers in Dhergabar³ were nuked. Same in other cities. <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/SciFi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#SciFi</a>Most of the Citizens who were on HTL are killed in the bombings, or slaughtered by blood-crazed prole rebels. Three quarters of the Citizenry were off-timeline when the revolt occurred, but transtemporal conveyors mostly drop people off and return to base, so they're stranded. Even if they had a conveyor onsite, those used by regular Citizens are inalterably locked to only shuttle between HTL and a set destination, so all they could do is return to Home Time Line and be killed by radiation or rebels.The timeline hosting the Paratime Police Terminal has also been thoroughly nuked, so the ParaCops are no more, but their unlocked conveyors allow many of them to flee to their prepared boltholes on other timelines. Some characters we care about – Verkan Vall, Hadron Tharn, Tortha Karf, and various associates – do so. But as a civilization, Home Time Line is dead.Thus endeth the Paratime stories. <a href="https://lor.sh/tags/ScienceFiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#ScienceFiction</a>[1] He edited a couple of War World anthologies in 2023, but it doesn't look like he's written anything since this 2020 story.[2] Later renamed _The Paratime Police Chronicles, Volume Two_, to go better with 2018's Volume One, but you'll see why I went with the original title.[3] The largest and most important city on First Level, which I always thought was in India-equivalent, but which in this story is revealed to be cognate to Nice, France.

(Her final story was written decades later.) It was popular in the 1920s to say that atoms were like solar systems, with electrons whirling about the nucleus like tiny planets. Many authors wrote stories where characters shrank down and ended up finding civilizations on one of these micro worlds. Two of CWH's stories did the reverse, and considered that Earth was but an electron in a molecule of a larger scale existence, and examined what happened if we had been part of a solid that suddenly melted, for instance.[3] Yes, Alan Arkin the actor.
