Re: COVID-19 Chat Thread
People, I just don't understand something about vaccination. People have to remember that the medication that you were taken 20 years ago is now showing side effects and making people very ill. They have not tested this long enough. If people take this vaccine what happens to them and say five year...

Re: Lifestyle Changes for Health
Ugh...now it is suggested on one website that I weigh my food for accuracy sake for my portions. Anyone weigh their food? Should I invest in a kitchen scale? The way I generally cook is "a spoonful of this, a pinch of that method" and what I cook tastes good to me (and to anyone else that tries it)...

Re: COVID-19 Chat Thread
Interesting visualizations here solely on all cause deaths this year:
https://public.tableau.com/shared/73WY8 ... k&:embed=y
Some states (California for instance), are actually reporting fewer deaths total than in the average year, some far, far more.

Re: Food Insecurity 2019
Pretty much the only thing I've noticed being short around here is random frozen items. Vegetables, tater tots, that sort of thing. Meat is plentiful (definitely more expensive though, saw flank steak for $13/lb!), fresh veggies, pasta, grains, etc. all seems to be fine. Weirdly, just realized, don'...

About 5% of my work is currently out with a positive Covid test. Definitely seems to hit some worse than others, 60 some odd with a heart attack earlier this year pulled through fine, while we have a healthy 30 something in the hospital with it. Everyone that's had it and come back has spoken of the...

Re: Adventures in rice, beans and bulk dry milk storage
Another option is Converted Rice Basically they parboil brown rice, dry it out and then remove the husk. The boiling process drives a good amount of the vitamins and minerals from the husk into the rice itself. It's nutritionally similar to brown rice, cooks faster than white rice and stores just as...

Re: permaculture suggestions for a useless bit of land
I'd agree with blackberries and mulberries. Currants, rhubarb, and Jerusalem Artichokes all spring to mind as well as plant that take little care. You might also think about mushrooms. If you can haul in some woodchips, you could easily grow a whole mess of wine cap mushrooms . They're happy to grow...

I don't think that the a lot of critical infrastructure isn't being maintained (any more than usual).

The refining industry pretty much across the board deferred shutdowns ...

Re: COVID-19 Chat Thread
An interesting study by the CDC. In it they said only 6% of the deaths in the study listed COVID as the sole source of death. Clearly this statement applies to the studied deaths and is not meant to be a blanket statement. However it is clear that comorbidity issues are a key in COVID fatalities. T...

Re: Kimchi for preserving cabbage?
Just as a side note, if you're looking for ways to preserve cabbage, shredded cabbage dehydrates really well. Not going to make a convincing coleslaw, but for soups and the like, works fine and rehydrated very quickly.

Montana is opening back up, but I suspect we'll probably have an uptick in the nearish future (we avoided a big wave in the first place).
