Off The Grid

Needed more chickenspace so put together one of these a frame types

I felled a 90ft tall large gum tree yesterday. Wow... now I know why we don't use this wood to build houses. The entire canopy of that tree shattered like glass. Every single branch smaller than my arm is broken and scattered.

Until society starts calling things by correct names, society cannot fix the problems. I do not wish to participate in a society that is broken. Devon Eriksen: Most people think of philosophy as an abstraction that doesn't touch the real world, but they're wrong. Most real world problems are philosophy problems, and most philosophy problems are "giving things the wrong names". For example, if you call feral drug addicts "homeless people", then you can't solve the problem. You can only buy more houses for feral drug addicts to destroy. In this case, we called the police and courts the "justice system". But they're not. They can't be the justice system. The function of a justice system would be to give everyone what they deserve. Now, I deserve a hundred million dollars, a private Caribbean island, and a foot massage from Lauren Bacall in her prime, but I don't see the "justice" system lifting a finger to correct any of this, do you? No, what we are supposed to have is a public safety system. The function of a public safety system is to keep the public and their property safe. If we understood that, we wouldn't care about what criminals deserve. We would care how likely they are to do it again. Or something worse. In a public safety system, retardation and mental illness are not migrating factors. They are the opposite. Because they mean that the criminal is more likely to pose a future threat. We all understand this. We all understand that the feral retard who stabs strangers on the train for being White and beautiful is a worse person than the man who murders his wife and her lover when he catches them in the act. Not because of some abstract calculus of moral agency, of who is disadvantaged and who isn't, but because one is certainly going to murder more people if he can, while the other is a lot less likely to. We've known for centuries, if not millennia, that it's the same small percentage of people doing all the robbing, raping, and murdering, over and over and over again. And we've known for centuries that if you physically remove them from society, that's 100% effective in stopping them from doing it again. The only hurdle is philosophical. Call it a "justice" system, and you have to argue endlessly about morality and redemption, and then some leftie thug-hugger weaponizes your own Christianity against you. Call it public safety, and you confine the argument to likelihood of reoffense. Then you are in the realm of statistics. Which you can compute. It all starts with naming things correctly, according to their actual nature.

Impressive. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ib7cCIYHVQ

I have one more large pine and two gum trees left.

Rules for when reducers are permitted in plumbing.

You can pickup fiberglass rebar at Lowes.... and it looks like they make fiberglass preformed corners as well. https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/concrete-cement-masonry/rebar-remesh/7-16-fiberglass-rebar-corner/4392-4c/p-1534314548194-c-12502.htm

This guy knows his concrete... The question gets to be... rebar. If you build flat structures you need something that can withstand tension. Concrete is great in compression. but not tension. So we are compelled to use rebar. But over time, rebar rusts and swells and breaks the concrete apart. What about fiberglass rebar? I started using fiberglass rebar on my fence H braces and corner braces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xDcs3mVh7iA

Here's a book I uploaded a few years ago about how to preserve wood for ground contact. You cna seach the archives here for the word "underground" and find more such books. https://t.me/OffTheGridOfficial/2838

More abuse of the Kobalt 80v electric chainsaw.... I had a pine tree laid on the ground held up by the tractor bucket to cut it short enough to carry and the log shifted upon completion of cut. The sproket in the far end of the bar exploded into 3 pieces and jammed into the motor sprocket. No harm, no foul.... just replace the bar and she's running again in minutes. That saw takes so much abuse and keeps ticking. I did look at hte motor sprocket today and it's showing some scoring on it but has lots of life left in it. Right now lowes has the 16" version on sale with no batery for $99. Something I learned this week.... they sell 2ah, 4, 5 ,6ah 80v packs... the 2ah pack hasn't got enough "umph" to really run the saw in way I've been running it. The battery voltage droops and the saw shuts off. BUT the 4ah and above are absolutely awesome. I'm cycling two 6ah packs a day... they hold up really well.

French police are now reportedly using drones equipped with thermal imaging to locate cattle hidden in the country whose owners (Farmers) refused to vaccinate their animals. Once located, huge teams of police and “vaccine” administers turn up to inject all their livestock. Follow @zeeemedia Website | X | Instagram | Rumble
