you mix your stop bath with tap water.

I don't know what kind of shipping restrictions there might be on stop
bath. I just buy it at my local camera store. It's not very expensive.
However, if you're in a rural area, I suppose that could be a problem. If I
run out of stop bath, I just shorten my development time by about 10
seconds and use a 30-second water bath after the developer. The results
seem identical, and the fixer life seems to be about the same.
Not that I do b&w developing at all these days, but I've been wondering since back when I *did* do it -- as a point of interest, is there any variety of vinegar pure enough to substitute or to prepare a substitute? since it's effectively the same chemical?

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
