Covid19/2021-22 OMICRON/ VIRUS "IHU" FRANCE:P13310/NEWEST VIRUS: "NEOCOV" HIGH INFECTION RATE+1 IN 3 DIE !?! P13315

If it works as they seem to expect, maybe as an effective prophylactic so that symptoms/asymptomatic becomes irrelevant,because the virus is killed before it can get a grip.

what was wordsworth predictions again under 30k cases by September 1st well guess he failed at predictions again that's why you shouldn't predict if your not a super computer AI. Will not count the weekend if the cases are around 30k so dunce cap should be put on at the moment

If I had said 7 day average below 45k you would have called bullshit too, currently we're at 43k. We were close to 70k at the start of the wager.

My detractors said that things were still on the way up when I made my bet... they've been going down ever since.

So I will miss it by a week... I may be wrong but like Dutchy said I'm still the least wrong.

Fireplace, well, and septic makes it very easy to drop off the grid if SHTF, especially if you've made alternate arrangements to power your well pump.

If you have just a standard fireplace, then it is definitely inefficient and a lot of heat does indeed escape up the chimney. However, if you have a wood stove or an efficient fireplace insert much more heat gets reflected back inside than goes up the chimney. Around five years ago when we had the "polar vortex" cold snap where it was -20 ambient temperature outside plus wind chill, we lost power for three days. Our new insert was barely a week old at that time, and we were able to heat our entire house with just the fireplace for those three days. The firebrick gets so hot that we can actually let the fire die down and it will continue to put out heat for several more hours.

As for well water, we have a decent filtration system in the house, but even without it, I never have to worry about my water source being contaminated due to deliberate acts of terrorism, accidents, or sheer incompetence. I do keep 90 days of potable water on hand just in case, but if my water ever becomes so contaminated that it is undrinkable, we have much bigger life-threatening problems going on.

When we were hunting for out first house to buy, I told Raffette that a basement, wood-burning fireplace, and well/septic were requirements I would not negotiate.

Given the state of the world, I would never under any circumstances move into a house that did not have those specifications.

Riff-Raff I bought a thick s/s thing in the fireplace that’s supposed to send heat back into the room. Is there a type of fireplace insert that does’t require expensive chimney liners?

My well is way too deep to work without power but I have year round running creek I can get water from. I do have the well’s holding tank in the crawl space but don’t know how to get to that water. I think it’s under pressure. Do you if there is a way to get to it in an emergency that won’t ruin the system?

I got my jars and lids from uline.com

Prices are up, but they are available for delivery.

ULINE has jars, lids. ULINE.COM, pricing is better on higher quantities but since I was getting other things shipped from them the cost of the jars and lids of the 36 I bought was maybe $2.00 more than it would have been from Amazon with prime free shipping.

I bought spices and sugar in bulk and am using them for storing those. ULINE has those packets of moisture absorent stuff in huge and tiny sizes, that's how I also fo3out they sell canning jars and other long term food grade storage containers.

Yah. I should know better. I always have uline catalogs laying around.

I just looked things up and you won’t need a 14” induction hub. Mine is a little over 10” and works great with my 28 qt pressure cooker so should work fine with the same sized pressure canner.

I bought mine, a Volrath, at Webstaurant store 10 years ago. They will help you pick one to suit your needs. Induction cooking won’t heat up your home, is energy efficient, and Since mine is portable and only weighs about 6 or 7 pounds I can cook anywhere.

Fully loaded, hot pressure canners can be very heavy. It will be nice to just do it on the floor, lol.

Also, you can use your pressure canner to pressure cook! You can even stack things in pans and pressure cook a three course meal at once if you want to. They are big, though, so take up some space.
