Here’s a rough graph showing milk production over a 3-year period. Each lactation cycle lasts 10 months, followed by a 2-month dry period. This results in 6 months without milk over 3 years.

Here’s a rough breakdown of the lactation cycle of a dairy cow over a standard 3-year period:

1. Lactation Period (~10 months per cycle)

• After calving, a cow produces milk for about 305 days (10 months).

• Peak milk production occurs around 60–90 days post-calving.

• Production gradually declines after that.

2. Dry Period (~2 months per cycle)

• About 60 days (2 months) before the next calving, the cow is “dried off” (stops producing milk) to allow her body to recover for the next lactation.

3. Gestation (~9 months per cycle)

• A cow is usually bred again around 60–90 days after calving.

• This means she is pregnant for about 7 months while still producing milk.

• The last 2 months of pregnancy overlap with the dry period.

Three-Year Overview

Assuming a consistent breeding cycle, the pattern repeats every year:

• 10 months of milk production

• 2 months of no milk (dry period)

In a 3-year span (36 months):

• 30 months producing milk

• 6 months dry (not producing milk)

Me too. We used to drag our PC’s out to the comp sci lab at UBC in the late 90’s where my buddy was a network administrator, and play Quake 4 vs 4 deathmatches on stanford.edu till 4am. At home we were on 28.8 modems but UBC had a T1 line that served the whole campus. Pinging sub 30ms to a server 950 miles away in 1996 was mind blowing. Now I have 3x that bandwidth at home lol.

It’s crazy but you can wear a good pair of merino wool socks in your work or hunting boots for up to three days and they don’t smell like something died in there. Plus they are super durable.

Great interview and amazing info on how stocks get rehypothecated. nostr:npub1xwmyzp64xx03kw9ecd7fzsj3e9dgwah6an0rdng0cc6ux4dswwjs28pyyc knows his stuff.

Look at the size of that tribe! Beautiful

Great read and article. Living the Bitcoin ethos and striving for anti-fragility in one’s whole systems stack needs to be mainstream

Gratz! Another BTC baby enters the world 🌎

So much prepping, so little time. But I’m moving in a direction as my gear budget and time outside of the mines allow.

Mesh is next. My main ally in RL has an electronics background working on jets and he is excited about it too. We both took note of how this technology shone after Helene.

I want to get a couple of nodes up in the area. But it is unique geography here. Flat with river valleys below the horizon. I might have to scale a microwave tower or two lol.

When I was reading about the origins of the cypherpunk movement and Paul Rosenberg’s book, I immediately thought about how we can get around metadata trails and make connections with likeminded people without any traces. And filter out moles. That’s the big one.

I don’t like what I’m seeing in the EU. It’s coming this way. We need to build around it.

The thing I’m wrestling with right now is whether we can hope to do the things we need to do to effect change in this country without getting picked off.

We really need to have a general strike IMO. Historically it’s the only thing that has changed the direction of nations without a lot of casualties. But most people don’t even have 72 hours of provisions laid up to weather missing a single paycheck, let alone a dozen of them.

Maybe I should just focus on the garden and teaming up with locals and leave it to the next generation. But I want to make a difference.

Do you guys use PGP

Cool. You found me. Now just disconnect that series of tubes connected to my spine and brain stem and hit the button on the side of the pod that says “flush” in reptilian. I’ll be floating in the sewers awaiting pickup lol

Hi nostr:npub1z4y76jl8r5d8p63defzedngv2nrp46jgt3hyuk5v533htrycm49q66zpx6

You don’t have to be a math savant or a supercoder to make a huge difference in the fight against a pending dystopian technocracy.

I was a preparedness maximalist (“prepper”) long before I was a Bitcoiner.

I was thinking today about the benefits of that. Especially when it comes to surviving, thriving, and transacting value if SHTF.

Day to day survival, private communications, data security, sovereign computing and off-grid-capable transacting of value could one day not be as easy as they are today.

Here are the pillars that I think such an approach sits on:

Immediate defensibility of your family and property. Shelter, heat, and guns….lots of guns.

Bugging in vs bugging out planning

Proximity to- and plans to safely/conveniently access viable water sources.

Establishing a couple weeks or months of rations, and practicing producing/preserving food at home.

Building your team and your within-walking-distance network of friends, patriots and trade partners

Filling in the gaps in your supply chain via creative means

Acquisition, storage and protection of tradeable hard goods in advance of SHTF

Cultivating skills you can trade

Uninterruptible Power

EMP protection

Backup Power (long term)

Computer, operating system, mobile device and Bitcoin hardware selection for SHTF. Including considerations for any device battery dependencies.

Options for fixed, portable satellite, radio, and Mesh network solutions for internet connectivity and personal comms

Strategies and team building for re-establishment of order

Does anyone have any others?

I am optimistic that we may see a restoration of the promise that was the American dream, but if we don’t, let’s not get caught with our pants down. 🤙🏽

Naw I’m just used to listening to ATIS and eyeballing things from the ramp when flying a bit back in the day, or from the deck before loads at the DZ. I love meteorology.

This series is an absolute must read. Part of knowing where we are going is knowing where we came from.

Who’s going to #bitcoinrodeo in Calgary June 28/29? Looks like I might actually make this one. And I’ve got the whole week after it off.

Chokepoint 2.0 was just a warmup. Time to dig in our heels and get that big middle finger ready.
