HAHAHA  I posted this in the Star Trek shitposting without commie admin FB page.  My feed reaction  if just a blur of notifications.

Chickens got a new home

Got paid today, so I used a little of the money to buy three more fence panels. They are 6 × 20-foot panels of 2-inch mesh.

I formed each panel into an arch measuring 9 feet wide and 7 feet tall. The arches were overlapped by 6 inches, and the wires were bent over to weave the panels together. Four pieces of ¾-inch rebar were cut for stakes, and a single 7-foot center post was installed.

The work went reasonably well, except that we were dealing with 4-foot-high weeds, so two of the panels did not join perfectly. It was raining, and the birds kept wandering out of the half-finished enclosure, so we pressed on.

The completed run uses four panels to create a length of roughly 20-odd feet, with one additional panel cut in two to form the ends and a door.

Oddly enough, this is the tamest batch of chickens I have ever kept. The Rhode Island Reds, Plymouth Rocks, and a couple of pure-black birds were easy to catch. My worker has trained them to come when he calls. I easily caught two of the largest roosters to check whether they were heavy enough for the table; unfortunately they still need a few more weeks to make good roasting birds. One of them seemed to enjoy being handled—Sexytary caught it and was petting it while the bird made no protest.

Tomorrow it is back, yet again, to the plastic pellet mill project that i posted previously. I know I need the large professional unit; however, I lack the roughly $8,000 required to purchase it. Hence the continuing experiments with the feed mill.

I also gave away approximately 15 tons of plastic this week from the old shop. I simply have no room for it without densifying it into pellets. I am also tired of paying rent on two locations.

In addition, the last time I was at the old shop, my nemesis—the Chinese forked-tongue devil—stood across the street glaring at me. I now have workers performing the heavy labor and another handling the logistics, which is a welcome relief from that stress.

Hopefully that chapter of the old shop will be closed in my life next week.

Nice Try AI

 

I called it months ago. SHTF. It has a name now.

 I cleaned up Matt Brackens graphic in Grok with the prompt:  Make this look like 1960's National Geographic map.

Short pointless lives.

While I am blessed to be able to interview some of the smartest people in the world, I remain aghast at the utter lack of knowledge among the "ignorant masses." Most people don't know a thing about food ingredients. They don't know where energy comes from. They don't know where their own organs are located in their own body. They don't know how mechanical things work, not even at a basic level (like combustion engines). They don't know basic first aid or emergency medicine for self-treatment. They are completely clueless when it comes to geography. They don't know what money is. (And they certainly don't understand compounding interest.) They don't know how computers work, or how storage devices function. The average person is a walking biological shell of cognitive emptiness. And their lack of fundamental curiosity prevents them from ever making the effort to learn anything that matters. But they are total experts in fashion, sports and celebrities, of course. They know all the latest trends pushed by shallow influencers, but they have zero knowledge of what's happening in the world and why their life is becoming more difficult by the day. Michael Yon told me in a recent interview that he believes these people will go to their graves never knowing what happened to them. Why they were starving. Why their currency stopped having value. Or why they could no longer afford fuel or housing. I think Yon is correct. The oblivious masses will NEVER know what impoverished them or killed them. Even in death, there will be no great realization. No divine light of knowing. It will just be ignorance, oblivion and death. Don't be like those people. Understand the world. Learn how things work. Think critically about literally everything. Otherwise, you will one day die as an obedient, oblivious, inconsequential shred of cosmic nothingness. Or, you could choose to live a life with purpose, with knowledge, passion, curiosity and wisdom. Choose that path and you will have lived a life that matters. And you won't have wasted your time in this sim.
