AI uses so much power just to give a slop answer, VS having an actual algorithm providing useful info for a fraction of power.

I feel like 6-7 is just another version of the made you look hand gesture.

I bought some gold a few years ago, the price has gone up quite a lot since. I invested in small little pieces recovered from a lake somewhere. I figured it’s easier to barter with a tiny piece than a huge coin or bar of gold. It’s only a small part of my portfolio. I decided to invest in a mix of stuff, as you never really know the future. A little bit of cryptos, gold, silver, bullets, canned foods, solar panels, batteries, rain catchment and containers, etc. I also worked on my survival skills, tool skills, crafting skills, etc. it’s a huge way to barter with people when you have skills they need. The biggest thing I invested in is raw land in the middle of nowhere. The land has an RV and working on systems to gather water, power, etc. 99% of the stuff will be solar powered, but we do have a diesel heater, it doesn’t use much fuel as we only use it when it’s really cold.

I think gold is just one of the many things needed to survive if things collapsed. If it’s even needed. It’s just one of those things that makes me feel better as an insurance / just in case. But I feel the other things I have done will make a bigger difference if it ever comes down to it.

I was so pissed off when that company bought stumbleupon and trashed it. I hunted and searched for an alternative and nothing was ever the same. It was a huge death blow to the internet I loved. 😭😭😭

I was really sketched out with my BLI-KVM. I had a server that was off, when I booted it the bios was in Chinese. Although someone did say that motherboard had a flaw that would do that, I wasn’t Sure if it was the KVM or the motherboard, but still…

I live in the middle of nowhere where, you would be surprised how much work it is. Plus the long long trips to town for supplies.

I do half of these and my neighbors do several of these too. What do you want? Want me to explain every dollar I make? Thats too personal.

There’s many ways, I have multiple income streams from several places.

Here are a few examples of income ideas:

Sell online

YouTube or twitch, only fans?

Do odd jobs for neighbors and the community

Sell at local swap meets, fairs, art shows

Air BNB

Sell eggs, meat, animals

Sell homestead tutorials, courses, online or in person

Remote teaching

Remote work, telemarketing

There’s tons of ways to make money from a homestead in the middle of nowhere.

It truly is a ton of work every day.

I’m sorry to hear that. I had a friend in college born without eyes. I talked a lot with him about concepts like shapes and colors. He was able to tell how much battery the electric carts on campus had by the sound of the motor, it’s quite interesting. I guess you might have an easier time than someone that lost their vision. I now have a friend that went blind after a car accident, he gets a lot of help from neighbors. He try’s very hard to do things himself, but often needs help. I hope you have a good support network for the things you need in life.
