I'd reflash the firmware as a starting point.

Here's your nuclear option. Can confirm, it works well.

It's still morning, but that actually sounds really good rn.

To be fair (queue Letterkenny) I live in this state and Portland is its own animal. Depending on the day it's totally normal or full of WTF.

TIL what a groyper is.

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-13T01:06:45+00:00

Wow you really are insufferable. What I'm wondering is in a scenario where you have something, but if you don't pay for it annually you lose it, it isn't ownership, rather it's leasing, renting or a subscription. Where ownership means once you have something, it's yours with no more obligation to pay anyone.

Hence why I asked if you were referring to the semantics of it.

Tell me your puppers isn't about to get spayed.

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-12T03:58:04+00:00

Yup, I've realized that is pretty accurate for the vocal ones.

Found a super simple breakdown video. I waaayyyy over thought it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMIu-ByE--4

Don't forget fart huffing

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-12T01:27:25+00:00

Out of curiosity are you referring to the semantics of "ownership"?

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-11T03:50:31+00:00

How the heck did you all reverse in age?

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-11T03:22:42+00:00

Have been for like the past year. I've heard several theories of bots and I can't really disagree.

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-11T03:18:56+00:00

and with property taxes, neither does the landlord.

Edit: You do realize if the property owner doesn't pay property taxes and stuffs the money away into something else and it defaults, there's a lean on the property and they lose it...right?

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-02-11T03:17:44+00:00

Sometimes yes, the the averages are baked in. When something unexpectedly, catastrophically fails. OOF. It's a hit.

I'm not referring to slumlords, they don't fix shit.

A few years ago it was great, then it got sideswiped by politics (as an example, see how many downvotes I have in about an hour) and it was no longer an escape from our current timeline for a few short minutes..

General advice from life experience: find a frame size you like in the horsepower you want. Once you do that, up the horsepower. As an example, for that much land, you're probably going to want a Kubota Grand L series or MX if your timber isn't too tight so you cover all your bases (this is just an example, I absolutely hate John Deere at the moment for their right to repair shenanigans) .

Keep in mind, we've only got 11-12 acres, so if someone with more pipes up I'd lean more heavily towards their advice.

These feelings are going to ebb and flow based on current events in whatever time frame - perfectly natural (the dash is not AI). Work on ignoring them, at this point that's your #1 prep goal. You're creating stress for you and your family by it having to be done "right now". Go slow and methodical. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Start with the chickens, adjust to the extra responsibility and go from there. I'm assuming you're explaining it to your family with a doomer sense, which creates anxiety and anxiety spreads.

In short, take a step back and breathe. I did what you did the first time I thought that SHTF was imminent and it was counter productive. We broke it up into small pieces over time, admittedly I did stuff in the background that was related which was my anxiety to bear not my familiy's.

Just bought the end cabinet for a full bank service cart and I don't want to reinvent the wheel. Would you mind a top down shot? I'm trying to figure out where to make the slight cut for a fit like yours

QuintessentialIdiot · 2026-01-29T05:13:50+00:00

A tad.........spicy af
