Nothing better then rolling out of bed to already made coffee ready for my consumption, just add Heavy cream and butter.

Unless you're talking about my second cup that's hand pressed at work.

Cheers #coffeechain ☕☕☕

And all this was started over a much lower tax rate then we're currently experiencing.

This right here, this is what made America. This is the heart of Freedom, flipping the controlling government the bird!...then plucking it's feathers, covering the politicians in tar, and applying said feathers to said politician.

But we are too soft a nation. Men like this now are treated as terrorists, not patriots, and everyone else let's it happen. I'm just a guilty as anyone else. But this is how real change is made. Until we, at least as a significant percent of the population, are willing to commit on this level, we will continue to slide into obscurity and destruction. Voting one way or the other just slows or speeds up that decline.

Send some of that pale ale my way! Lol

Strong work!

Been waiting all day for this post-surgery #coffeechain

We're considering Texas. Have friends in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Last 2020 September was too hot for my wife when we visited, but since her Cancer Diagnosis and the medical changes we've made she's down about 50lbs, and feels a lot better, so willing to give it another try.

Working my way out. Can't stand the preference of money over health in the industry. The entire business is based on maintaining sick people, not healing them. Take this drug for the rest of your life (or these Jabs!) not stop eating all the carbs.

So much of our health is directly related to what we consume, and Big Ag, Big Pharma, And Big Government have teamed up to create an unhealthy population that requires chronic medications just to try to feel normal.

My goal in life is to move south to a warmer state, get as much land as I can afford, start a homestead, and eventually a ranch to provide not just my family, but my community with real health food.

That's a lot of time and money for 10# of sausage! Hopefully you didn't use up all the other ingredients!

Haven't made sausage yet, I typically throw them in the pressure cooker for 30 minutes, and make pulled white meat. Then save the bones for a broth.

Tanning hides was a challenge that took me more time then it was worth in the end. A couple hours spent on each one. I admit, I don't know what you m doing, so that time could be dramatically reduced. Hopefully you have someone besides Dr Google to guide you.

Got all of that except the calendula. Now I just have to figure out how to use it!

Looking into creative Ng a medicinal herb garden. What are your recommendations?

What's your recipe. Haven't tried sending my buns yet. I usually just toss them in an instant pot for fall off the bone shredded white meat, or smoke them for a couple hours.

I recently purchased a grinder for raw feeding the dog, and I'm now ready to make some sausage!

Good coffee and some light reading during my downtime at work.

“Should we keep people alive?”

The short answer, no.

But that depends on what you mean by “keep people alive.” If you mean “bridging the gap” between death and a return to function, I doubt anyone would argue that it is a great thing that we have the medical technology to do so.

Were it becomes problematic is when we “keep people alive” long after they would have died from natural processes. When a person's existence is torture, yet they do not have the means to refuse treatment. Death is as much a natural process as birth. We will never be able to stop it, only prolong life as long as possible. I imagine that is the question you are truly asking, At what point to we stop keeping people alive?

Some approach this from a religious experience, waiting for a miracle. I have seen plenty of this in my experience. Patient kept alive by mechanical means, while they slowly, and with much effort to the contrary, rot away.

Some approach this from a financial perspective, as a source of their ability to pay the bills (social security) lies in that bed, being kept alive artificially, as their wounds become necrotic and their body parts are cut off bit by bit by surgeons who will literally cut anything without a thought to the morality of it all. Unfortunately, I also have seen much of this. (Thank you government for creating this hell on earth for some).

Most family members, in my experience, when faced with making a decision to keep a dying family member alive, are not really presented with the facts of what that means. Often the only thing the medical profession is concerned with is IF we can keep them alive. The WHETHER to do it they defer to the family without giving them a truly informed reality of what that will mean for the patient.

Often when facing trying times for the hospital (like 2020 during the height of the Covid scare) they will bring in an Ethics consult, but in my experience the ethics committee has no authority or ability to truly help the family make appropriate decisions.

Add to all this the burden of maintaining the dying on the health care industry. Government assisted health care (Medicare/Medicaid) often pays out for these long term patients. Many nursing homes and long term care facilities function primarily off the money flowing from government to keep these people alive, long after their families have stopped taking any interest in them. This in turn increases the cost of healthcare as a whole, in turn increasing the tax burden on the people, and reduces the availability of healthcare workers and actual healthcare beds to help those that retain a decent quality of life.

And that is where I personally believe the line needs to be drawn, at quality of life. I am not saying that no one should provide care for these people, or that they should be treated poorly, but once you meet a certain medical standard for poor quality of life (and I mean that on a very extreme level) and are required to be sustained by artificial means, care of that individual should be through private insurance or private pay. So long as families are not held financially responsible for the care of these patients, they often opt to keep them alive and in absolutely horrible states long after they should have been allowed to die. I believe cutting the Gov funding of these cases would greatly reduce the suffering of these individuals, free up more financial assistance (if you believe in that sort of thing) for those who need quality medical help, and make available more trained healthcare workers for people who are suffering.

I'm using Bitwarden as a password manager. Works well, has been recommended by a lot of #spirko guests.

It's painful every time I do this...

My employer sends out an email with highlights of my Employer in the News. I happened to look today, and my State has issued a $150,000 grant with stolen money to my hospital to "support (my hospital's) work in making it as easy as possible for older adults and people with disabilities to get the updated vaccines nations and protect their health" as part of their Covid-19 and Influenza Vaccine Uptake Initiative.

If the State, and Health Care, cared about these people, they would be doing everything they could to prevent them from taking these vaccines, not robbing the people of the state to put more of that poison in people.

If you have not looked into "Winter Sowing" you should check that out. I did a hybrid version of that and the high density seed starting of Charles Dowding. Worked well.

These are some of the most important decisions you can make for your health. Keep up the good work. It gets easier as you adapt. Stay strong!

Looking great. Lots of work! And that Biochar!

I'm all in!

Yes it is. Starting with Jaws of the Lion. It's a streamlined intro and I believe you can continue right into the main game.

I'm playing D&D with my neighbors every Tuesday night, and getting my boys into Gloomhaven.
