No rush, take your time and be pleasant? These moments might be all we have, why rush through them?

Less insulting, but if typing conversation with others is a waste of your time, why the hell are you here interacting?

Appreciated. I have lots of space, I’ll try a few and see how it goes. It does get really hot here. The price of admission is pretty low.

I ask because I want anecdotal evidence first hand, not because I’m a lazy moron who doesn’t know how to utilize the internet, or has an attention deficit. Thanks for your concern though. 😏

You know, you can simply answer without being a passive aggressive prick. I appreciate your input, but for some reason you always throw an insult on the end. Fear of rejection? We’re all nice here, no fear.

No worries. You’re golden! 😊

What is your best recommendation for a mostly meat chicken breed that could produce eggs while waiting for the need for more fresh chicken meat? Any suggestion cannot include Cornish X. #homestead #chicken

This is so true. I closed my business when I couldn’t be profitable and afford to maintain living wages #livingwage #wagestr

Thank you, I’ll see what happens come spring!

Question, I bought the bulbs late in the summer, they are sprouted, probably 8” tall, tertiary leaves, we probably have two more months before we will probably get a hard frost. Is the best strategy to move them indoors, or let them be in the ground? It never gets to be colder than maybe 25 here and only for short periods of storm weather in the winter. My plan is to scale them for pig food, so low or no maintenance is paramount.

I just started growing sunchokes. I hope they do well, so excited!

The flavor of celery and celery root in dishes though….mmmmm.

Once again, I can’t disagree, but if a semi automatic with spare mags is an urban necessity, why not 10mm or at least .357 Sig? When it comes to adequate penetration, proper expansion, and bone mass is concerned, 9mm doesn’t cut it. A decent layer of visceral fat stops a hollow point 9mm as effectively as body armor. Obesity rates in America again? Fifty percent at least? You wouldn’t hunt a 200 pound puma with your 9mm, are humans not dangerous game in these circumstances?

To each their own, I kill a lot of pigs, in different ways, different sizes, different shot placement, and I can tell you, 9mm is not enough to stop a 300 pound man with a knife at ten feet unless you hit center face, spinal cord, or one of five major arteries which would take amazing skill under duress that probably one in ten trained soldiers with combat experience could pull off. Good luck!

Disagree, have you ever shot a living thing with it?

Further than 15 ft? Get your rifle or shotgun!

Viva beautiful CA, hear, hear! Well said.

Defensive? Reloading very unlikely to be necessary. More than 5 shots fired? Likely you are going to jail regardless of circumstance.

This is true, I use handguns like a ten foot long sword. I think at ranges longer than 10-15 feet the use of deadly force is questionable unless the assailant is armed and menacing, and if that is the case, you are likely going to be shot drawing your piece. In defense, ftlbs of energy absorbed is really important, placement and number of shells mean a lot less when 1300 ftlbs of impact energy just blew your arm or leg clean off. Same thing with malfunctions. Give me a large bore revolver any day, or a 9mm magnum (.357). Semi automatic 9mm makes sense for police, but not defensive carry IMO.

9mm, no power. I kill pigs all the time and while a well placed .22 will do the job eventually, there is no replacement for tissue displacement. Even a .357 mag hollow point isn’t as effective as a .45 caliber hole. Shoot to stop, big holes stop things quick.
