for most people, that requires to be educated on how the ways the data is collected and the eventual stats formulas used impact the results.

Yes, which makes AI all the more troubling as it's so ubiquitous many people aren't even aware of it, never mind watchful.

Feel good this morning. Got the dogs up and gave meds. Got the chicks up, my oh my is that frizzle so cute. I ordered Sweet PDZ for the coop and plan on putting fresh shavings in there for the chooks and clean the tent for the chicks.

Thank you so much for the video!!! Not only was it entertaining, but educational, too! I've been toying with the idea of getting bamboo....and after your video played, the one that came up as the next one to view was an interview with a homesteader regarding bamboo!!!! It allayed some of my fears about spreading, and I will be definitely planting a small grove in what will be the second 'pasture' I build!!!Shade for the summer, 'greens' for them, and young shoots are edible! The ones I had in mind for them were the shorter ones, but now I am interested in a small grove of larger ones for small building/utility projects (like garden stakes, chicken platforms for higher perching and shade under, etc. I'm going to get the first book he recommended so I can find appropriate varieties for use and climate. (I want to establish a small planting in their 'permanent/soon to be winter only' run, too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

Is there a link to the bamboo video? We all get different recommendations. I too am very interested in growing controllable bamboo.

Happy Easter! But, it is such a weird holiday, isn't it? I am always confused. Why the association to full moon, why bunny and eggs??? Bunnies don't lay eggs...

Don't be sorry ! Actually it's not THAT bad. Yes, we are required to eat stinky cheese, drink wine every day, wash only every three days, work less than 36 hours a week including of course at least a day of strike. Some of us are even forced to hear cocoricos from dawn throughout the day!

Thank you so much RC.
For me the synopsis is wonderful as it is, I find it very easy to see what I have missed.
I find it a really good idea and I would be willing to contribute if it's less than once in a month, but I'm not sure that would be helpful as I would probably need a proof reading for language mistakes.

Stats are a construction. Without a (human) critical outlook on the methodology it is too easy to see numbers as a scientific truth. I think for most people, that requires to be educated on how the ways the data is collected and the eventual stats formulas used impact the results.

Cocorico tax

Love that Cocorico! And the background of the valleys and steep slopes - so beautiful! It looks like he is calling to the world from the top of that chair

(Regarding stats: I find that numbers can be creatively manipulated to the benefit of a situation!).

We would love to have your assistance, we can ensure it is only occasionally, and not to worry “votre anglais est excellent” where as “mon français est terrible”! (and my English at times also ha!).
