Show notes

I have been saying recently that we do appear to be in a 4th turning, perhaps even a shake up taking us more into a 5th turning as the saeculum seems to be lengthening. One way or another though there is a massive shift happening. These shifts are wonderful, frightening, awful and unavoidable all at the same time. Today we discuss the fallout from the founder of Telegram being arrested, RFK Jr’s alliance with Trump, a federal Judge says machine guns are legal and a ton more. Join Me to Discuss… RFK has joined forces with Trump, what does this … Continue reading →

Urban “Ditch Fishing” as a Survival Skill – Epi-3544 Aug 20, 2024

Show notes

When I say “ditch fishing” am a using a common term amount anglers who fish very small bodies of water in urban, suburban and even somewhat rural environments. While some really could be called actual ditches, most are more accurately small creeks and road crossings are ideal places to gain access to them. This is a true survival skill, one practiced for a long as such small creeks have existed. It fed everyone from country boys, to poor kids like me in the 80s, and even the hobos of the 1860s-1950s. Today we look at this skill, how to find … Continue reading →

The Top Ten Real Dangers of AI – Epi-3543 Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

The movies, sci-fi books, etc. have all trained us via propaganda and clever narrative to fear AI in the Terminator or Matrix aspect of things. Sentient machines that wage war with humanity. The real dangers are more what sentient humans, either due to poor decisions or malicious intent may do with AI. Along with the harsh reality that many of societies’ systems are ill prepared for the disruptions that are coming. And I even through in a bonus 11th threat that honestly should scare the hell out of us. All of these scenarios are dangerous and all far more likely … Continue reading →

Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blades – Item of the Day Aug 19, 2024

Show notes

Every day I bring you an item on Amazon that I personally use or has been purchased by many members of the audience and I have researched enough to recommend. Today’s TSP Amazon Item of the day is the Diablo 12-Inch Pruning Reciprocating Saw Blade. I have always been a fan of using Reciprocating Saws (IE Sawzalls) as a tool for pruning trees or removing small trees where a chain saw would be over kill. It is especially nice for small trees that you want to cut off flush to the ground. They also make a less damaging cut when … Continue reading →
