Had this bottle of distilled water in the basement from when we used to have lead acid batteries. I noticed something.... it says DISTILLED with minerals added for taste... thats NOT distilled then. arrrggggg...... and it's destructive to a lead acid battery.

Don't ya just love when doctors say "let's pull the kid's tonsils". yeah, the tonsils are a symptom of another problem.

Setting up gate openers today. I need to target a point that is 6" in the x axis and 7" in the y axis relative to the centerline of the hinge pin. So how can I find that imaginary point in space? With a square clamped on to my gate .

I got a topens dual gate opener... the brackets are readily adjustable, the actuators have hall effect limit switches on the cylinder stroke. it runs my 24v latching lock and staggers the opening of the two gate panels. The motors are torquey enough that they can start slowly and not jerk the gate.

Neighbors combine caught fire in front of the house. It melted the neutral wire on the power line. Eventually the tires blew up from heat... thats quite a boom.

And hte power compnay just shut off the power to the street.... and guess who's still got power!

Damn the cost of that makes me sad and my head hurt.

Hv neutral missing and sourced instead from loop at other end of street. This is just begging for a surge to zap everything.

Lubricant Shortage Will Grind Agriculture to a Halt [VIDEO]

The well-oiled machine of American agriculture may grind to a halt due to widespread lubricant shortages triggered by the Strait of Hormuz disruption. From Toyota and Nissan's warnings to a leaked internal memo from AutoZone, the crisis is now hitting retail and industry hard. Experts warned this was coming in March, naming agriculture and trucking as critical sectors at risk. In this video, I break down exactly how the shortage hits our food supply and how the technocrats are already positioning synthetic “food as software” as the solution.

Now is the time to stock lubricants, grow your own food, and build real resilience!

Farmers have figured out that the cheapest pesticide is a strip of flowers.

When you plant wildflowers through a crop field, not just around the edge but in strips running through the middle, you get ladybugs, lacewings, hoverflies, and parasitic wasps living in the field instead of visiting it.

They eat the aphids, the caterpillars, and the mites for free, all summer long.

In controlled trials, fields with tailored flower strips had leaf-beetle numbers 40 to 50% lower and crop damage cut by around 60%, enough to drop below the threshold where spraying was even considered worth it.

The flowers attract a standing army to our fields.

We spent decades engineering chemicals to kill the insects eating the crop, when the insects that eat those insects would have worked for the price of seed.
