>Mutuals arguing over egg laying yields on the TL
No joke, this is 100x better gondent than "DAE NOT LIKE BLACKS AND JEWS!?"

@Zergling_man I would like to play vidja with you friend but I have to do some minor chores and then family time. Doom scrolling was just while I took a quick break. What are you playing BTW? Anything that I can run on a laptop with integrated GPU?

@BowsacNoodle Bird thread? Give
Also, just come play vidya with me instead of doomscrolling.

@BowsacNoodle no i'm arguing that the nigger is making shit up about me cuz i had a mental breakdown and depression a few months ago and made an ass out of myself

@givenup I see that. I appreciate the substance of the disagreement being something other than politics or racism even if it's ultimately a character attack / defense.

@BowsacNoodle Which lays more egg tho? Blacks, or jews?

@ForbiddenDreamer Jews I would think because sin chickens.

@givenup You did nothing wrong. Your logic was sound for how you built up your egg sale pipeline.

@BowsacNoodle well, there wouldn't have been any argument if he didn't specifically ping me in a post spreading his LIES, cuz i've made a concious effort to never bother responding to him any other time i see him around.

@BowsacNoodle @MK2boogaloo Pudge Wars is good at 3am in the middle of a LAN, but I played it too much in my own time and made it boring (competitive).
Lighthook is top-tier strat, everything else is for fucking around.

@givenup @BowsacNoodle I don't know why, (i blame you) but iv watched a couple of vids,, And now i know how to make chickens roost in the correct place and not sleep and shit over their eggs, what bedding to use and how to make the wire mesh more transparant.. I don't even have chickens nor space for them.

@BowsacNoodle its' backyard chickens, i wasn't trying to become an egg empire, that's all a meme, i literally just wanted chickena dn eggs for my personal use and selling what i had extra on the side for pocket change, which turned out at 15 bux for a 50lb bag of feed, is just about right, i don't evne eat a lot of eggs in general, i like taking car eof the chickens, i'd rather breed htem and have more roosters to cull, speaking of roosters to cull, it's seeming to turn out that, every baby chicken that survived is a damn rooster

So you have more chicken meat to eat, that is nice.
>i don't evne eat a lot of eggs in general
You can have 2-3 a day if u work out some, also helps avoiding depression a bit.

@BowsacNoodle @givenup I dunno where to start, any directions in that.?
Find land and map the slopes etc. find ways to improve on that so water moves slow in a zigzag from pond to pond.
Build the house against a hill half in it, same for green houses.
erect some stone walls for plant that cant stand frost.

@Appelmoesje @givenup How does the water table factor in here? I'm assuming that land with multiple ponds would have a high water table, so building partially in a hill creates potential (although not a guarantee of) flood and hydrostatic pressure challenges? Perhaps land management and even the use of thirsty shade trees near the home can mitigate this. What do you know about slope modification organically or without heavy machines? I've heard of using straw and manure to build artificial hills; a season of wildflowers and normal ecological creep is usually all it takes to get things moving. Also using straw in ponds to change pH and other beneficial effects to change water to be more potable. I've heard of using logs in soil to increase micronutrients because fungi will digest the damp wood and release underground. I want to learn more about synergistic planting.

@givenup @BowsacNoodle there is a ancient planting method called "three sisters", fun to look up. corn, climbing beans and pumkin, or something.

@givenup @BowsacNoodle The idea behind raised beds are:
-you can fill it up with good soil.
-natural path separation from existing ground.
-have to bend less deep while working (these can be higher)

@Appelmoesje @givenup Yes that's what I referenced in my long other post. There's something involving nitrogen fixer and nitrogen hungry and tap root plants and thirsty plants that can't dig.

@givenup @BowsacNoodle potato's i would do in potato bags, for ease of harvest.
-
Embed this notice
@Appelmoesje @givenup Just don't ever try the infinite potato cube. It's a meme and it's fake. You can add potatoes in two or MAYBE three layers but not 15. Once you force them to grow longer stalks, you're taking energy that would've gone to making bigger and more spuds, and you're taking room in the soil and accelerating the nutrient ∆. Straw or hay bales are a good alternative to bags for spuds. They hold moisture really well and you can plop a bit of soil and fertilizer in there to accelerate if needed or just set it on grass (it'll kill the grass and dig down).

@BowsacNoodle @givenup sloped land will get rain down the slope faster than it can penetrate the ground. you want to stop that, so yes i think.
You can dig by hand, small gutters 90degree opposed to slope.
find 'contour trenching" peter westerveld
(green) house partially in ground or hill is for temperature management, cools in summer and warms in winter. a little.
you can use all kinds of plants that grow fast for mulch to cover the ground. mulching works.

@Appelmoesje @givenup The partially underground building technique makes a ton of sense to me. It's geothermal in a nutshell. I think it would make sense to use closed loop heat pump systems for a small scale geothermal directly below the house (under the basement) and I often wonder why this isn't done at building. Seems it wouldn't cost a ton more to just dig another foot or two down and drop a few coils of PEX full of alcohol in water solution, another foot or two of dirt and then normal foundation or French drain work.

@BowsacNoodle @givenup >hungry and tap root plants and thirsty plants that can't dig.
Yes, raised beds fix that imho. Can have loose soil that has never been walked on. Can add fertilizer per bed and organize plants to have the same or opposite needs.

@Appelmoesje @givenup You can do passive (radiator only) cooling with a ground loop as well. People get really weird on the heat pump thing, but it's like 400% efficiency. Small battery bank and solar panels can run for "free" as a supplement heater or cooler or simply to mitigate humidity.

@BowsacNoodle @givenup You want to use all things that are passively beneficial. You want no or very little mechanics.
So heat pumps im not a fan, and building engineer.
-
Embed this notice
@Appelmoesje @givenup There's math reasons for why they can be very good. The smaller the delta the better they work, which is why using one with geothermal (ground loop water radiator) is so good. But to the larger point, building your house into a hill gets you a natural heat sync and can help a ton with keeping it cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

@BowsacNoodle @givenup Heat pumps suck as way to heat or cool your house, only thing it does is lower the amount of base heating cooling needed because it takes the edge of incoming water/air temps.

@BowsacNoodle @givenup a fridge is like a heatpump and they do not do better with small differences or deltas. so i doubt the math, but fine.
-
Embed this notice
@Appelmoesje @givenup Fridges do actually do better with small deltas. If you've ever done a grocery run at a beach condo, you'll know what I'm talking about. Most of the time a fridge is working against 60-80°F surrounding air. Geothermal heat pumps typically have COPs of 3 to 5, AKA 300-500% net efficiency. Ground water doesn't freeze in most habitable zones, so you just tap into that instead of trying to pull from the cold air. Some systems will actually run the water loop into the well to get more constant temps. Not trying to argue with you but geothermal is amm separate animal from hippy nonsense heat pumps.

@Appelmoesje @givenup You can just do it with loops in a "small" area. Ideally running through a well, but that's not always feasible.

Embed this notice
@BowsacNoodle @givenup To make a heat pump work you need a reservoir of water pretty deep underground to get some temp difference. The size of the reservoir needs to last a winter or summer, or it warms up if u add more water during use.
Just have a deep basement for cool storage of food, and have ventilation air tubes installed though that for use in summer.
