Do you have a contingency plan?

:lol: Tell me about it! I just set my pepper plants out a few days ago, and the squirrels have already dug them up. I was able to replant them but....
 
I found a very interesting forum online here:

Frugals Squirrels

you have to register and a moderator checks you out before approving. It is moderated heavily. It is a very Christian based survivalist type website.

It has some very good information accompanied with the crazy end of the world type posts. :giggle:

I'm not surprised that you don't get it. It's paradoxical and confusing for many. there are only 3 Laws of Thermodynamics (I'm glad I paid attention in physics). It violated the First or Second of the laws or both. Simply put - the idea of perpetual motion machine is that it can produce more energy than it consumes...... from nothing... and it goes on indefinitely. That exists..... only in movie or paper.

Steinhauer asked - is windmill powered electrical generators one of them?

the answer is no because it consumes more than it produces. it doesn't start from nothing. a wind has to blow at it for it to start. if it is perpetual motion machine - once it starts to spin around, it will continue to spin around and continue to produce energy indefinitely. how is that possible?

below is a famous example of P.M.M.

if you can explain how that wheel can continue to spin around indefinitely while producing energy and not violate all law of physics.... then you just solved the Free Energy mystery.

Gravity?

lol that's it? what you think why this mystery is unsolvable and unexplainable for many years? even Einstein knew it was wrong but he knew how to produce a cheap energy ;)

and weight.

Gravity and weight ;)

oh ...oh ... and G-Force.

The weight differential would keep the wheel spinning.

if that's the case.... how come this one doesn't keep swinging forever?

How to eat acorns (for the kids)

1. Pick up several cupfuls of acorns. All kinds of oaks have edible acorns. Some have more tannin than others, but leaching will remove the tannin from all of them.

2. Shell the acorns with a nutcracker, a hammer, or a rock.

3. Grind them. If you are in the woods, smash them, a few at a time on a hard boulder with a smaller stone, Indian style. Do this until all the acorns are ground into a crumbly paste. If you are at home, it's faster and easier to use your mom's blender. Put the shelled acorns in the blender, fill it up with water, and grind at high speed for a minute or two. You will get a thick, cream-colored goo. It looks yummy, but tastes terrible.

4. Leach (wash) them. Line a big sieve with a dish towel and pour in the ground acorns. Hold the sieve under a faucet and slowly pour water through, stirring with one hand, for about five minutes. A lot of creamy stuff will come out. This is the tannin. When the water runs clear, stop and taste a little. When the meal is not bitter, you have washed it enough.
Or, in camp, tie the meal up in a towel and swish it in several bucketfuls of clean drinking water, until it passes the taste test.

5. Squeeze out as much water as you can, with your hands.
Use the ground acorn mash right away, because it turns dark when it is left around. Or store in plastic for freezing if you want to make pancakes later.


Acorn Pancakes

Break an egg into a bowl. Add:
1 teaspoon salad oil
1 teaspoon of honey or sugar
1/2 cup of ground and leached acorns
1/2 cup of corn meal
1/2 cup of whole wheat or white flour
2 teaspoons of double action baking powder
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of milk
Beak all together. If the batter is too thick to pour, thin it with milk. Pour pancakes into a hot, greased griddle and cook slowly until brown on both sides.
Serve with butter and syrup or wild blackberry jam. Delicious!!


Or, you can add acorns to your diet by just eating squirrels :giggle:

wondering if anybody has tried tasting acorn. I did long time ago and goddamn! It tastes like......... a tree! :lol:
 
I wish I could draw a chart.

Imagine a roller coaster for this written illustration. Suppose a roller coaster type of device is built with even peaks and even valleys. Its in a perfect circle. Put a heavy ball at the peak and push it. Will the ball ever stop?

in a world with no friction or resistance, the ball will keep going indefinitely.

I am curious if the gravitational pull that pulls the ball into the valley would have the exact opposite reaction (law of physics) to push the ball back to the peak, then the cycle would repeat indefinitely.

Around here, only squirrels, deer, and hogs eat acorns. I say use the acorns to fatten them up.

In a survivalist scenario, where are you going to get butter, syrup, or jam? If you've been reduced to eating acorns, you probably will be in short supply of those other items.

It's too bad because my yard is buckets full of acorns every year.

same answer as above. I gave you an answer with that consideration in mind. the same answer that physicists would say. btw - it's Newton's Laws of Motion to be exact :o
