i hope my friend dahmer has a happy ending

yeah. ive got the land, the barn, everything avaliable but I don't think ive got enough room to go really big.

the only reason i consider it is that the local lamb market in ontario is growing siginifcantly

beyond that i'd have to supplement it with market garden farming and rely on the kindness of hipsters.
how close are you to your customers and how comfortable are you with where you're living? (like can you say "i will not want to leave this property / this house for ten years minimum"? if so, go get some lambs, do it right now)

in my case i started out with meat sheep but then started researching commercial slaughter methods (because of food safety regulations it is basically impossible to sell home-slaughtered meat without pouring a few tens of thousands into getting yourself set up with a full sterile slaughterhouse, and going via butchers shaved basically all the profit off) and i honestly can say i'm only comfortable with kosher slaughter and the only kosher abattoir in australia is two states over (i also can't ethically support trucking sheep huge distances, knowing how they're treated) so welp. then i went dairy instead with awassi sheep and goats but surprise! food safety regulations are even stricter with milk products. and i wasn't into wool because i'm not really strong enough to shear a sheep. so you need to consider geography and your potential market very closely.

HOWEVER seeing as you already have the land i absolutely think you should get a dozen ewes and a ram. the worst that will happen is you have to sell the whole flock at a slight loss if you decide not to go through with it (or not even, you can make a profit if you very carefully buy individual ewes and select a ram and put your own flock together - i was lucky because i moved here at the rear end end of an el niño so people were selling stock for next to nothing)

farming is incredibly satisfying when things go well but it's so loving hard. at least i can now say that i tried and failed to run my own farm, it's better than most people can do

Communism will help more white people than anyone else. Any equal measures unfairly provide less to minority populations just because there's less of them. Democracy is truly the tyranny of the mob.

Catsitting, day five: the shy one knows I know his hiding places now, so he moves around silently when I turn my back. I found him under the bed again and pushed a treat at him, plaintively, to apologize for being so large and unfamiliar.

Catsitting Day 3 : I try to befriend the white cat Atlas. I begin by offering food twice a day.. it accepts. I scratch its head and pet it. It bites me. I worry because it has Feline AIDs.

I'm not sure how to befriend it. Hopefully tonight it will not punch me in the face.


The black cat and cats with shells are still chill.

Yesterday the non-shy one caught my hand with its claws and tried to eviscerate my forearm. I came away with an angry red scratch on my hand. Now I have the song "Cat Scratch Fever" stuck in my head.

thought it was logging and then fishing or fishing then logging

both are subject to accidents with little ability for immediate assistance

e: it's logging for 2015, which is more than 2x the fatality rate of the next one (fishing). Though in total numbers logging only has 67 yearly fatalities so it's still relatively unlikely dying doing it just more likely than other jobs

Is there a general USPOL thread somewhere? I used to follow "GOP Rebuilding", but obviously there's no need for that anymore.

Also I wish I was cat-sitting.

Find a dumpster and light it on fire. That's the current state of USPol. Fill it with those plastics that release fluorine gas when set on fire for added effect.

policing varies wildly in "most dangerous jobs" rankings based on whether you include intentional suicides

incidentally this is also why american liberal gun death stats are always three times higher than conservative ones
