It’s an old problem. From the very start of the net, you had to sort the wheat from the chaff. Back then, the BS was human-generated. Now we have the addition of AI crap. But anyway, they solved it already. Its called wikipedia. (Or any other community curated data source as well.) I’m not some wiki fan, but that’s the world’s answer to encroaching bad data. An army of real, very corruptible, infighting, weird-as-hell wiki editors is our last stand against the BS.

Right on. I’m running searxng and whoogle. Whoogle is a low resource option, and it only sources Google. I like searxng for the deep results, all kinds of weird stuff pops.

I was recently recommended to check out YaCy. Haven’t done it yet.

That’s beautiful.

Genious!!!

UPDATE: The radio is a half homebuilt wooden box w lots of leads. It was powered, had speakers attached. There was another harness that had been cut. Its been unplugged and packed.

The antena tho … we got issues.

First, I’ve not verified that its not powered. Might need to crawl an attic. Trace some wire.

Second, this thing is a construct. Three poles w glass insulated wire strung between. One pole bolts to the house right where the power comes in. If the tree lost a branch and snagged the wire, and that bracket failed, it could take out their power.

I have some precarious work to do this summer.

We’ll have it towed outside the environment.

Oh, the prep is by far the worst part. Well … after you get over having to tell the doc that you’re bleeding out your ass. That can be a challenge. But the prep … sitting on the pot with projectile diarrhea while you drink that chemical lemonade for 12 hours is not a good time.

And in all sorts of ways …

;]

Fuk ya. Mine fell off. Way to be.

Ya, blue drinks make green poop!

Indeed. And water vapor belongs there. So there are no “chemtrails”.

Fair enough.

How much do you think rice and beans actually cost? Good luck eating more than $10 worth in a month. Pork loin ($12) is super-cheap, slice and freeze, got food for a couple weeks. Bag of mini oranges is $4 and that’s desert for a week. Add a (freakin huge) bag of Popeye fresh spinach for $4. So far I’ve spent $30 and have enough food to feed myself and even guests. Dunno who these “most people” are. These studies you mention … and all this navel gazing … that’s not real.

It can be hard to break out of the American processed food trap. Requires practice. Gotta do it in order to understand. Go buy some groceries and cook something.

The only bit of sense you made was mentioning meal prep. The time, money, and mental energy spent on your own health are rewards, not costs. Being responsible for your health can be difficult for Americans to fathom, but its cheap and easy.

You aren’t getting this. There’s a huge support community out there. People will get help if they reach out. And they should do so.

It’s a poop test. Its pretty good at finding cancer, but if there’s any blood at all its invalid. A good option for people in their 30’s and 40’s. Older folks probly just need the probe.

Um … nope. I sent me to a gastroenterologist. We just talked, no physical exam. He immediately scheduled the butt probe. After that he sent me to the hemorrhoid guy who only saw me once, procedure on the first visit.

I’ll add that every medical professional that I spoke to about bleeding out of my ass was understanding and concerned. At no point was I not taken seriously.

It’s shitpost, my friend. And a shitpost where I also chose to reveal uncomfortable details. I’m just teasing.

Don’t go look this up. You definitely don’t want to see the pics. No matter how curious. I warned you …
