Absolute disaster. Houses were built in the 70s. Next fun project is the asbestos abatement and demolition.

Gave both tenants a 60-day notice today.

I've owned the two properties for a hair over 30 days now.

- Rat chewed through PVC pipe under the house leaking gray-water

- Sewage line to septic was completely open (clean out) leaking raw sewage in crawl space

- Capped sewage line, line to septic is completely backed up

- 3 companies have been out to find the septic system for house #2, fourth coming out today with cameras, a backhoe and a truck to pump god willing they find it

- Water line burst in house #1 yesterday with the hard freeze

Lesson? Buy bitcoin, not real estate.

#homesteading

The economics of homesteading for our family (7people living ar home right now):

Jersey milk cow and beef calf cost $1000, eats $700/yr in feed, plus $450 in hay. Fence was $1000. First year cost $3150. Milk cow on average has produced 4 gallons milk per day, we sell half @ $7/gallon, $5100 income. Plus we keep half the milk, making yogurt, butter, sour cream, and cheese. And we get about 240# grassfed beef from the calf plus dog food and tallow.

Seeds for garden $100/yr. not selling any at the moment, consuming about 75%.

15 egg chickens were free, cost annually $4000 in feed, produce roughly 3000 eggs. We consume all of these.

Rabbits are fed with leftover cow hay and garden greens, produce roughly 70 kits, 2# meat each.

Milking the cow takes 2 hours per day

Caring for other livestock and gardens take 15 minutes/ day on average.

Butchering takes about 30 hours /year.

Total out of pocket cost to us: $2100.

We still buy some things at the grocery store that we can't grow or raise here, or produce during the winter.

What's the conceptual difference between silk road and nostr marketplaces?

Asking for a friend.

Maybe the best picture of the decade.

#RossFree

Our account on X has just been suspended.

We're moving to Nostr as our a primary source of information during the conference, until further notice.

The way I feel now, fuck X. Never going back there.

This is shaping up to be a hugely successful conference, tickets are basically sold out, we have some two of the largest political parties involved with senior leaders participating, there's huge excitement...

...and two days before the conference, we kicked off from Elon's pet project, for undetermined reasons.

We hit 900 followers. Thank you guys. 🧡💜

Would you wear a shoe on your head? Of course you wouldn't wear a shoe on your head. A shoe doesn't belong on your head. A shoe belongs on your foot. A hat belongs on your head. I am a hat. You are a shoe. I belong on the head. You belong on the foot. Yes? So it is.

“He saved my son” so happy for Ross and for Lyn. This is going to lift the faith and spirit of many people, myself included, but I cannot imagine or understand the joy and emotions that they must feel, Lyn kept fighting when all hope seemed lost, truly amazing

Looking for some other Christian family men to connect with. Got two little ones and another on the way. Hope this adds to my life rather than a distraction/black hole of time like most media. #plebchain #coffeechain #familyman
