It does seem like we get a few people that use their sleaze tools to get our obedience for some twisted reason.  In the end, I think we have slowly accumulated a bunch of people that appreciate our flavor of decency and are willing to stand up for it.  

And if a decent human has a question or would like help, I think our community thoroughly enjoys the conversation that results.  Spoons for all!

On one of those threads somebody equated the sleaze to ai and i said

I think the sleaze I am suffering from is many flavors of human apathy.  A human doesn't care that there is an error in the (non AI) computer.   Several people involved in the software development and quality don't care. The human that is paid to care, doesn't.  For the newer blood donation organization, the (non AI) computer has several errors.   Again, developers and QA peeps do not care - even though it is their job.  The organization struggles to get donors, yet it is their (non AI) software that impedes this goal.  And their own human created policies and human created mistakes that prevent me from talking to a person.  Of course, they probably implemented these policies because they were flooded by people behaving poorly, because they don't care that they behave poorly to the lowly servants of the blood donation organization.  

Sleaze compounding sleaze compounding sleaze.  

It has nothing to do with AI.  It has everything to do with "gaming the system", rewarding hostility, and people working hard to find a high paying job where they phone it in.  And all of this lack of decency makes things sleazy.  

This is the problem I attempt to explore.  And in the podcast I think the solutions are excellent.

the blitz!



Sunday mornings at 9am we do a 60 minute cleaning blitz.  

Seppers don't have to do it, but melissa helped.

Cleaning isn't really a thing worthy of pics, but the blitz has turned out to be one of the smartest things we have come up with.  I think our homestead is a lot tidier than most.

Looks okay to me!  You must be crazy!  

:)


Actually, we have been working on fixing it for about 25 minutes now.  I think it is fixed.  Try again!

Samantha Lewis wrote:A Jamboree is an event that runs for a week or two.  We will be working on multiple projects simultaneously and each project will have an instructor.   This gives folks who travel from far away the opportunity to learn many things while they are here.  

For the rocket mass heater Jamboree, we have a bunch of different builds we would like to work on.  Someone who comes to this event will learn how to build a rocket mass heater to safely heat a home with very little wood.  They will also learn to build with this technology.  A rocket hot tub and rocket oven are two ways the same technology is applied to bring luxury to your homestead.  

Some of the jamborees of the past had 12 tracks.  So at any moment, there were 12 projects.  Attendees could wander between projects whenever they wanted, and participate as much or as little as they wanted.

For this event, we will start with 4 tracks.  3 rmh builds and 1 "homesteading track."  If we sell lots of tickets, we will add tracks.

Hello Allen!


Here is the link to our cabin rentals:

Thanks!

My wife is onboard, as long as we can bring our dogs (2 well-behaved great danes).  I'll show her the cabin options tonight when she gets home from work.

The dogstar has a place to keep dogs.

Allen Jackson wrote:I'd love to attend, but I probably need to start sorting out room and board now, or I might not be able to make it...

What options for such are available there?

I think that all the cabins are open except cooper cabin.

Is there any chance this stuff will be recorded and released for the rest of the world?

I feel confident that nothing will be recorded.  Maybe some people will record stuff for their own use.  

We have filled my youtube channel with videos that are largely ignored.  And I have full movies out there that get very little attention.  

I am thinking that this event will be a nice gathering of people.
