When Trump buys Greenland, he should start a program to relocate all of the white farmers from Rhodesia and South Africa to Greenland and set them up in operations there.  Elon Musk is from South Africa. It was a beautiful, highly developed First World nation not long ago. Now look at it.... the chilling  results of DEI. The US should only be assisting people of European derivation. Those are our people. We do not need any more Third World beggars crawling under our fence.
They’ll die there. How do you relocate someone from Africa to the North pole?

Man. It is cold here. This sucks. They cancelled school. The animals are getting restless. They all like to go outside but it's just too cold. It'll be a little warmer tomorrow. Still, this shit is not as bad as a heat wave down south or out west. People die from that.

It’s probably the flu.
I probably got amoebic dysentery from the door handle at the weed store. There were some shady people hanging around.

Glad I don't work outside. I just have anxiety worrying about things breaking down when it's like this. The furnace runs nonstop.

It's 40 in my garage. I have one of these:

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ]

I don't even know how this thing works. There's no battery or electricity connected. Just a thermostat and a gas line. 
I paid around $350 for it and it can keep the garage 60 degrees even when it's below zero.

They are mudding drywall at the river house, I have the heat on there too. On my dime, insurance doesn't cover that.

We had a river house in St. Clair growing up. One time the hot water tank failed and leaked....for a long time. Everything in the house had to be thrown out, the walls were covered with mold, the carpet. That was a disaster. It was never the same.

Insurance is insanely expensive, they are always somehow justifying that, yet insurance companies are among the richest entities in human history.  I have a high deductible. I figure there's not a whole lot that can go wrong with a house like this that I can't fix myself.  I don't know how it breaks down but for 3 car and this little house, it's like $1200 every other month...7200 a year. That's crazy. On top of everything else we pay. It's no wonder no one can afford to save anymore.

That is why 3/4 of mine got gutted to the studs. When the back roof, wall, and windows went, the storm came in. They went a little far imo but mold is nothing to play with and you only get one shot with the insurance.

And considering some of the scary wiring we found behind the dry wall, it was a good thing. It is a wonder it had not burned down.

I saw a documentary about what would happen to modern society globally if there were a large solar eruption. It happens all the time but a really powerful magnetic storm could lay waste to human infrastructure. And in fact, there is a historical precedent....

"The solar storm that knocked out telegraph service was known as the "Carrington Event," which occurred in 1859, where a powerful geomagnetic storm caused disruptions to telegraph systems around the world, with operators experiencing sparks and even fires due to the induced electrical currents in the wires. "

That was when the only electronics in the world was telegraphs. Imagine the havoc something like that would cause today with all of our power grids, networks and satellites.
