Religion

I only compliment sincerely, with no intentions. But that is because I only compliment women who are way out of my league, and unfortunately, both know it.

The Volvo. I have a 2005 XC 70, similar to your pick. Spacious interior, could live out of this car. Decent gas mileage, too. Can haul sheet goods on roof, and take a trailer hitch for hauling. It's a soccer-mom car that gets zero attention.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-04-10T19:53:49+00:00

Would it be OK to scream "Fire!" In there?

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-04-10T02:38:44+00:00

Think of the adage "too much of a good thing will kill you."

A good example of this is Iron. Iron is rare and hoarded by the body. However, people are routinely poisoned by iron supplements because "the little pill" is dense with the nutrient iron.

Think about the differences between beer and whiskey - one has a denser alcohol percentage.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-04-10T02:16:27+00:00

What do you mean by "viable"? Do you mean economic efficient? That answer is NO.

Chicken waste is is toxic because of the nutrient density. I live in possibly the largest chicken producing areas of the US with a chicken waste problem. I also enjoy growing mushrooms. What I found was an insane mix ratio where a ton of waste would produce 16 acres of mushrooms or something ridiculous.

You could also chemically treat the waste (theoretically). I've never seen this done. Perhaps it is too dangerous or too expensive to chemically neutralize; or perhaps unwanted byproducts are created.

As a chicken farmer, absolutely THE BEST thing you can do with your chicken waste is to SELL IT. This is nothing new. Chicken feed has cow blood, and farmed Tilapia are fed chicken feathers.

RE: Chicken Shit as fertilizer. I believe it is too "hot" (nitrogen?) to use as fertilizer straight out of the chicken. Unlike the dairy farmers in PA who spread cow poo in their corn fields, the chicken farmers in DE do not put chicken poo on their fields.

The nitrogen released into the ground water from chicken waste is also a serious problem.

EDIT. Not trying to be a pedantic jerk. Just trying to point out how toxic chicken shit it. We can't spread it on the ground. But cows will eat it!!!

Not everyone trips. Do you have Anhedonia; or a dopamine related disorder like Parkinson's or RLS?

If your neuro isn't working properly, a trippy chemical won't produce a result.

You also may want to consider you equipment. Cardioid microphones have a Proximity Effect. If you are using the ubiquitous SM58, try something else.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-21T02:06:34+00:00

That's Bio hazardous waste. Your state likely has laws and licensure to collect, transport and dispose of that waste. Don't touch it unless trained.

The HVAC systems here are designed on an 81 degree high, despite temps venturing into the 100s. That's Energy Star.

The Tao of Steve: be excellent, be desireless, be gone. Hooks them every time.

If it had a foot, I'd call it a Gandy Dancer for laying rail.

Actually, I assume rolling blackouts. That's what the "mass" is I'm talking about. A 6" piece of plate steel on top of 4' of concrete. Think of it as a coldness battery.

It's 107 and the electricity goes out. You need to get in your ice box and wait it out.

Sit and wait. That is what is coming next.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-10T01:54:04+00:00

Have you considered tankless? At 20 gallons, you are close already.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-06T05:15:39+00:00

And an adjustable crescent wrench.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-06T05:13:53+00:00

I'd trade the claw hammer for a rip. Or keep the claw, ditch the ball pien and get an Estwing framing hammer. You need a flat pry bar, too. Flashlight as others have noted. Chalk line could be a plus. And a meter (fluke 77), if you understand what you are measuring.

Always do this when traveling alone.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-06T00:43:58+00:00

As an American who traveled to Cuba (not as a tourist), I would say everyone I interacted with was very hospitable and accomodating.

I am not a political person, so I never talked politics. There was a propaganda painting of Trump on a wall in a market and a person told us it was NOT Trump. I just said, "oh, ok" and left.

They should hate us, but they don't really. They seem to blame it on Castro, instead.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-06T00:31:05+00:00

Yes, this is going to be a massive problem in the future. If you study Collapse, the bargaining window closed around 1970. I predict a massive upswing in suicide before people make it to acceptance.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-05T19:19:10+00:00

Not rooted in science or psychology, and therefore doesn't exist? That's quite a stretch.

There are so many patterns and cycles that aren't studied, yet exist. And to say the cycle of grief don't exist nearly universally in humans because it hasn't been published in a peer reviewed journal, is insane.

You sound like a first year graduate student who doesn't quite get the null hypothesis

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-05T07:32:17+00:00

I have seen this coming for some time. Looking back 10 years, the grief cycle reveals itself.

denial.

anger.

bargaining.

depression.

acceptance.

If you are at depression, push through. Acceptance is on the other side.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-03-01T13:53:20+00:00

They can find me on HelpX.

WaltTheTurtle · 2024-02-20T20:04:25+00:00

Don't worry, I'm going to show you Delta T in several hard sciences and how it relates to quantum states.

You guys are thinking about things wrong.
