Bluesky is a kettle.

I told my friends and they went there anyway -- well, a minority of my friends. Most stayed firmly glued onto Facebook's game board.

"Y'know, there's Mas..." "Nope. Not 'picking a server, whatever th'heck that is."

EROI of subsistence lifestyle sufficient to maintain successful reproduction and empowerment of a succeeding generation to the same level is said to be "1.2 to 1." It wasn't clear to me whether that included imported (hand-carried) soil fertility, for example from nearby forest, or relocation and slash-and-burn. Use of #TerraPreta" might improve the ratio. http://www.paulchefurka.ca/Thermo%20Reading%20List/Odum&Kylstra%201980%3b%20EnergyTransformation&EconomyofUS.pdf

Some of these solutions are clearly for the very rich, but I'd keep looking -- the young couple running this site and YouTube channel are very smart, and they give equal respect to extreme voluntary-poverty interviewees, such as the gentleman who runs a flock of sheep from his home-on-a-bicycle. >>

True. A point of the info is that not enough people know what happened, so they go there and "Th'heck is this??"

Quite a bit of South Florida was knocked on its fanny by Katrina but New Orleans got most of the press, impacting service to visitors and extending the long shadow of the damage.

Seeing images of Korean gardeners with right-angled trowels (ho-mi) inspired me. I used to make my own by bending cheap hardware dept. trowels but discovered (during the brief time that they made them) Oxo's idea of a ho-mi and bought one to last. It did. I'll be handing it down.
