BREAKING: U.S. sports journalist Grant Wahl collapsed and died while covering the Netherlands-Argentina game in Qatar

my sisters husband wants to join fedi but he's unsure what instance. He's:
-mildly racist
-says nigger IRL occasionally
-uses Arch Linux
-is vaguely familiar with 4chan
-plays the piano

do you guys have a recommendation on what instance he should join?

That is interesting. I wonder who would survive. The poorest people are already used to that lifestyle.

@spiritsplice@pieville.net why the stone age? Why not revert back to the 19th century era and build from there?

@EvilSandmich

That sounds like a good idea. It'd be nice to have your own fresh eggs to eat.
$7 a dozen is about the price for farm fresh eggs around here. Sometimes higher
Although not as good a product, at local grocery store 30 eggs for $9

@societyoutcasts @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @nugger @jeffcliff Yeah I've seen that too....well I've seen both. I don't care about being cheaper than the grocery store because I just want to get the stupid eggs out of our house*. A lot of people though just scale it against the market regardless of what their input costs are. The other anecdote I have is that the higher prices charged by the local butcher (for better product, natch) stayed largely the same while the prices for the inferior stuff from the grocery store rose to be about the same price (apart from the GloboPedo beef steaks from Mexico that taste like sadness).

*(Our plan all along was to have our own farm fresh eggs and to just charge people who buy eggs the feed costs because the other (large) expenses (coops, chickens, other infrastructure, etc.) is stuff we'd buy for ourselves anyway. I'd imagine most other small-scale farmers actually want to make money on them, which really isn't feasible. If I was able to charge $5/dozen then *maybe*. Somewhat related, the Vital Farms eggs sold at Whole Foods are the closest you can get to "farm fresh" from the grocery store (all the other ones are pretenders, work paid for me to sample them) and it looks like they're about $7/dozen around me).

In a future with much more expensive oil, which do you think will be more likely:

1. All food will be shipped in from far away and most people will starve to death.

2. Food will be grown locally and specialty/regional foods will be grown in highly-insulated greenhouses.

I think #2 is far more likely.

@nugger @confederatehobo @ImperialAgent @Ottovonshitpost @teknomunk @jeffcliff

remember back in the 60's when they claimed we had only 40 years of oil left, how'd that turn out
