We've got a melange of ducks, khaki Campbell, blue runner, swedish blue, Cayuga, and Ancona. My favorite might be the Anconas. Although, our khakis used to be very skittish, our drake just lets me pick him up now though lol

We actually got our first egg this morning!

I've heard muscovies are great producers, great foragers, and great reproducers. Has that been your experience?

We put in a bunch of trees and bushes this spring on our new property, so we had zero expectation of actually harvesting anything at all this year.

One of our raspberries has surprised by cranking out a couple of canes this fall. I'm grabbing a handful every other day or so, just collecting them in the freezer until I have enough to do something interesting.

I've missed eating things I grew. Our ducks should start producing eggs soon, I'm very excited about that also.

Just pull the trigger, we both know how this ends.

A hot bath being wasteful because you have to heat water and need a sewer is ridiculous.

Solar water heaters are a thing and grey water reuse is also a thing.

You don't even need electricity to have a private bath.

In addition, prior to the modern era regular bathing was often a privilege of the elite, not to mention the hygiene concerns of a giant bowl of people soup.

Bathhouses still exist in the form of steam rooms and the like, and you could make an argument about the inefficiency of personal hot tubs, but those are more specific examples of "bathing" as a recreational activity and not a hygienic one.

The state and corporations will absolutely protect themselves with extreme violence.

Also, it's nice to see a link to the anarchist library instead of Amazon.

I could be wrong, but I did finish a degree in EE even if I just do software now. But here's my quick take on it.

Probably because you're driving voltage on STAT from REGN.

STAT should have a current limiting resistor on it, go through your led, then ground.

REGN should have a 2.2uf cap between the pin and ground according to the datasheet.

Clearly witchcraft. Spells to make the kids gay. Definitely not a decorative method of adding texture.

The Geneva Convention is clearly Hamas.

I used to call myself a "left libertarian" but to be frank, after learning more I've found that "anarchist" fits far better. And there's a lot of interesting content out there that I enjoy. I'm not sure who all .world has defederated, but the solar punk instance is always great, our mods are great (Midwest social), some people may find them abrasive, but those are people who maybe don't understand that when you play in someone else's home, you play by their rules.

Also: blahaj, beehaw, and even hexbear is usually entertaining, even if I have some disagreements with them.

The point is, there's a lot out there, depending on who you're federating with.

Above everything, lack of curiosity. If someone is uncurious, it's a big red flag to me.

Capitalism!

I'm so glad that I don't live in a socialist country. If I did, I wouldn't be able to get the medication I need to be a contributing member of society, because of the mismanagement of a greedy few I'm sure.

I'm proud to ration my medication, because it means that I'm doing my part to buy a third boat worth more than my entire house for a legacy c student from Yale!
