You presume wrong. I got stockpile of food in case of quarantine and got other precautions in place.

It didn't load, let me fix that right now

As seen in attached picture recent disruption in supply chains caused food prices to go sky high. In ukraine taters are sold out of back of rolls royce.

What is USA? And in most recent history what is Bundy standoff. Militia is made out of same people as government army. Planes and tanks won't stand on street corner and kick doors down. People will. If those people are opposed to doing it government has no power. If you have support of...

Ducks are way better than chickens, they can be left to roam free in garden. They eat slugs and snails, so natural pest control. Less destructive but different care requirements. People are able to keep chickens in 6x12 back gardens, you wouldn't get away with it with ducks.

When figuring out is it worth it I use £20 for every hour of my work+materials minimum. Unless its a project you do for fun its not worth it as a rule of thumb unless you build something not available anywhere else. If you don't have money and lots of free time £10/h might be OK for you. Still...

Habitat loss? Breeding species that won't survive in wild? Nah mate, its climate change, simple as. I hate this narrative that reduces everything to climate change like nothing else has impact on anything. World is simple, you have to start eating bugs and paying carbon tax or bees die out.

Pneumatic ones work forever, even when they fail they are easily fixable. Electric ones as long as motor won't overheat are fairly durable too. Just don't do 10k nails in one go. For most people cheapo one is sufficient, pro ones are made for high duty cycles.

If it smells like resin or is sticky it will have resin. Usually anything with spikes has more, with leaves less.

Fungi are critical for healthy soil From what I understand long story short is together with healthy bacteria they brake down and prerp organic matter to be absorbed by plants In beans and such they capture atmospheric nitrogen Read about no till and shallow till farming It's a lot of hippie new...
