Hello everyone !
Well, it's been a week since I disconnected from blogging and it's all good.
...it's been quite the eye opener....(or is that 'mind opener'?)
Lets see what the future brings.
Breaking news!....
(no satire or humor in this 'breaking news article')
We've 'provisionally agreed the terms for "Blurt House" !
After talking to a very nice farmer man, He's agreed to sell us a 30 x 30 yard plot of land - with a 'lifetime rental contract' (at very good rates) for two acres of adjoining land attached to the plot, for growing our own food, running some chickens, and our own fruit trees food. (ie all ours until we die).
But wait !
There's more...
Not only have we agreed on that part - We'll also have free water, and electricity (solar) - totally off grid!
Not only that - we also have lifetime fishing rights to at least two lakes (for fishing ).
....Happy days indeed, if everything works out.
We'll be laying the foundations in the next 12-18 months with a bit of luck.
I'm now trying to get motivated to actually doing some work to make some dosh (not much in real terms - only $40K).
I'm not sure quite how active I'll be on blogging sites , for various reasons (on which I might write a psychology post)....
The week away has really clarified some things.
(I'm still writing on my subscription platforms).
....No matter what happens , we'll be calling it 'Blurt House' ....
The house will look nothing like this....
Have a great weekend everyone !
Stepping away from the computer, detaching oneself from nodes tens or hundreds of miles away, seems to be going around.
Congrats on your acquisition and future plans. They sound very promising!
I'm looking at a property today too, a cabin in the woods that also comes with a share in a 1800 acre hunting, fishing and nature lover's club. Nearly 2000 acres at my disposal (one acre of my very own) and the club does the land management. I sure want to love this place!
How did that go? the property.
The cabin was great and the property was lovely, but it borders a heavily trafficked truck route. I'm looking for peace and tranquility in the woods. Big trucks zooming by all day doesn't cut it. The search continues! Thanks for asking.
It's all 'up in the air' at the moment - We don't have the resources to go further right now - but it looks very promising and the owners of the land are very sound individuals (not 'wishy washy' types of people).
We have an ongoing business relationship with them also, via Luce's other business.
It's all good.
I too was away fro about 4 days. We have farmland but not a great area to live - looking at mountains - I'd even buy a cave but not seen any for sale.
Where we've 'negotiated' is perfect for what we want....plenty of space to sustain ourselves and no neighbors ! (not that we have that many close , now , tbh)
The mess in Thailand are all the various "deeds", ranging from totally worthless, to marginally useful, to an actual title. ;-) Have had to reject many interesting places coz of that - unless was stunning.
You know how it all works, I'm sure....Me too.
My kid has been learning the land "laws" - says she finds it fascinating, as now she understands why I've had to reject so many seemingly fine properties.
I'm pretty lucky in one way - I don't have any legacy to look out for after I've gone
In this case - with this property - it wont be 'mine'.
(.....And no, I'm not 'another dumb farang', I can assure you ! lol).
I understand, same here - have almost nothing in my name - I barely exist here ;-)
Awesome… I started my Steemit blog as @offgridlife almost 5 years ago with the idea I would blog about my journey going off the grid here in Canada … then I found out how expensive all the batteries, generators, solar panels, and other systems were. And the fact I’d need to spend a lot of time driving to pick up supplies. … That was the end of that. But I’m stuck with the name @OffgridLife . Anyway, now I just blog about anything else.
....hopefully they'be no change of minds before we put the dosh down.(which I very much doubt, tbh)
Many things are pretty cheap here relatively speaking.(and heating systems of any kind just don't apply)
We know guy who did all of it for only 30k - fully sustainable.
A new adventure I hope it works out great.
It's not exactly new (been on the back burner for a couple of years).
We're having bee hives to, but I'll be fucked if I ever mention that name in my new house! lol
Less time on the net is a good time, smash it bud, make it what you want.
We'll see what happens...
Oh!....Here's something you might be interested in.....
https://hutchersonlaw.com/what-are-the-penalties-for-copyright-infringement/
....is a hardfork 'copyright infringement' if all the 'property' that belonged on another blockchain, and was then transferred without explicit permission ?
I dunno, and can't be arsed...
... but as @practicalthought said, if it was the case, then class action lawsuits by several thousand of people being paid out at least $700 per item may well get someone like yourself investigating it.....kerching!...if this is the case, and it seems like a slam dunk (blockchain time stamps etc) ......just needs someone with the resources , motivation and a sense of justice to explore it...
Blurt started with a clean slate, so no content was forked, just the coins etc.
Funny thought tho... getting more free coins is good, but getting more free content exposure is bad. Call it syndication. I know, the flaw in that thong of an argument is that the creator did not ask to be syndicated.
Oh, I wasn't referring to Blurt, I can assure you...
sure, but I think then a few people were disappointed that they didn't port their whole history.
Can't win.
Well, one can win, by ignoring everyone ;-)
Yes, I've been astounded the whales at Hive make any pretense of being against taking anothers work when they pulled off the largest instance of it I've ever seen. One might almost think they have the cognitive abilities of many on the far left who believe all facts are a form of oppression created by the white male patriarchy.
IF ( a big 'if', as I'm not sure at all)....
IF there wasn't explicit consent given prior to the transfer, then it seem like a black and white case of copyright/plagiarism/whatever....
Cognitive abilities?..Where?...I've yet to see them on hive...
We all know there was no consent asked. No one asked me, all my posts were just there.
Now i don't believe any of us who went over there and blogged as though all was well have any form of case. But all of those folks who never went to Hive yet all of their writing is there, yeah, they have a case for sure.
I will get on it in the PM, got a minor case of I need to do silly shit sideways in a BMW, snow and all, got to love taking the piss out of life, the snow gets me down, so I abuse it to my advantage, lol, fuck it, got to live it to enjoy it.
Snow ?...jesus h christ, you're a heathen !
I just spent 30 mins sideways, you heat freak.
Fucking great for sideways driving, can do a mile sideways, ya rag a muffin.
You dirty over heated heathen you
I see, you are getting ready for the great reset
lol - I've been getting ready for since 2014 (well, mentally at least - not done bugger all about it) I ain't exactly scared too much.
How dare you. Missing my daily/weekly dose of laughter
Oh, I'm sorry! ..lol
I will try to write another post will the commensurate amount of titillation just for you - as soon as I 'readjust' certain things...Pesky time constraints ....
yeh get on with it, chop chop
....there's a meme on my post ! - just for you ! lol
I hate memes with typo's is that why it was for me?
I’ve been feeling the same I’m trying to limit my use to a few hours a day and then focus on real world life
