Fifteen HARD lessons I learned from the “Texageddon” blackouts and collapse of critical infrastructure
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
The problem is that folks doing rural living have it all. Not so for urban living. The most dangerous risk there is a lack of a back up heat source not dependent on electricity at all. We all have work arounds for most else including lighting. Real power packs or backup generation would be wise always but pretty difficult in a city. The second real problem is the real risk of food spoilage. That still takes time and is usually a problem in a flood. Cold weather, not so much. *Fifteen HARD lessons I learned from the “Texageddon” blackouts and collapse of critical infrastr...
'Bitcoin Is the Biggest Jailbreak in Human History,' Says Philosopher Stefan Molyneux
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
Without question, Bitcoin is a revolution in money. It is also an ongoing revolution. The market value has now exceeded one trillion dollars. Now understand that this is now around three percent or so of the market value of all gold ever mined.. It is also way more convenient so long as we have access to electronic money transfer. The only form of dilution possible is the creation of competing crypto currencies which will also prosper for the same reason. They all compete in the dollar market as an ongoing store of value. In the meantime governments print money and also s...
How do radishes work as a cover crop?
arclein, Terra Forming Terra - 1 day ago
Cover crops have become a thing and i can not imagine a more responsive plant than t\he radish in all its varieties. They are even great eating and are under used. cooking easily takes out any sting if you care about that. I do think that actual planting is best done in bed form.leaving space for growth. The leaves do not spread out hard until they are well established and a late packed bed is ideal.. Here we see them planted after the corn has been harvested. *How do radishes work as a cover crop?BYSUS...
