This is the anecdote I wanted to tell you: Five goat kids were born to us this spring, of which four were male. Not all of Thorne’s triplets were favoured with milk – Opal I needed to hand-rear – but Octavian and Olly, as well as Kama’s son Olaf, came in July to the point of needing to be weaned. Too large now for the “Baby Darling House” at night, (my goats know themselves only as ‘Darlings’ and refuse to respond to any other moniker), there was no other way for me to gain the milk than with separate pens.
Thanks so much for reading back John. That means the world to me. I find all the losses very hard to take. I really appreciate you caring enough to hear about them. I'll find time to watch the video - I promise!
This was lovely to watch, John. Pembroke isn't far from us - though its climate is slightly more conducive than ours. It put me in mind of how much the generations here have integrated. My parents came from London as hippy immigrants and, over the course of my life, I have seen the barriers fall until two cultures have become one. I would recommend Mid Wales to anyone. :)
"Welshmen never yield!" went an old battle cry over debt and payment long forgotten. In the end, it will be the Church of Science that self-immolates, for Science has only one core belief, that of Causation. Just as planting is the absolutely necessary step toward harvest, every repeatable experiment by which scientific knowledge is acquired, is based on Causation. It is Causation that makes Repeatability meaningful...if I perform steps A through G in order and get result Z, but omitting a step gets me no predictable result, I've learnt something. Just as a garden of potatoes results only from planting and cultivating them, knowledge only arises from trial and error.
So the WEF foolery is little more than an effort to turn "scientists" into gods that demand worship and "science" into a collection of holy-books written in an obscure language commoners do not comprehend. Freemasons came to ridicule that practice a few centuries ago with the phrase "Hocus pocus", mocking priests who screamed at crowds who never spoke the dead language called Latin, "Hoc est corpus!" while holding aloft a wine chalice and a plate of bread. They could have translated their words into plain Welsh and Gaelic so that everyone knew what was being done, but that would have defeated the purpose of making the religion mysterious and engendering fear.
So it is in WEFland. Having repeated the Big Lie that Debt Is Money until they believe it themselves, using fear to silence questioning of their premise is necessary because a qualifying statement has been left out. That qualifier is, "Debts on which the debtor pays interest and the principal, can be traded just like money". A debt that is in default is as worthless as shares in John Law's Banc du Mississippi, which nearly bankrupted Louis XIV of France. So smaller lies like the health benefits of AI-controlled farming and of eating crickets will be spread, in an effort to distract from the main issue: Politicians created social insurance programs to protect depositors who lost all their money in the 1919-1933 global banking crisis, but they saw surpluses accumulating in those programs, borrowed and spent the funds, and now lack a clear vision for putting the missing funds back.
We will get through this crisis somehow, and I'm betting on humans who farm for a living to outsmart gameplayers and con men.

I've gone back in your series to know "the pooper trooper".
Some years ago I used to watch the videos that Lammas put out, then they stopped coming.

Of course, I agree with your bet 100%.
