tfw no beefriend to cuddle in a flower with

I'm getting prepared for the upcoming food shortage.

So far I have at least 3 weeks of food (about a month and a half if I ration) ready to go.
High protein and lots of vitamins.

I'm trying to make my recipes tasty, filling, calorie dense, and with a full spectrum of vitamins and minerals.

So far I can say the beef stew is delicious and so is the chicken soup.

Curious how the shrimp turned out.

The pickles are some of the best I've ever had.

If I can get more beef tips on sale (got 4 lb $17 off last time) I'll make another big batch of beef stew.

By the way, if you want to play old versions of Minecraft, I recommend Betacraft.

https://betacraft.uk/

It's a mirror of old versions of Minecraft with it's own launcher and stuff. But it fixes many of the issues with the older versions in the original launcher such as lack of audio, black screen, freezes, missing skins, etc. Plus, it includes way more versions (with their respective servers as well).

You'll need an account for it. You'll have to join their Minecraft server (it's just to check you actually own the game) and then register within the next 5 minutes. It's a bit of a hassle but if you really want to play the alpha and veta versions of Minecraft in their full glory, it's worth the trouble.

The End of the World Is Just the Beginning: Mapping the Collapse of Globalization by Peter Zeihan
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

This book is heavily biased pro-america can do no wrong, and with massive blind spots ignoring even the possiblity of resource shortages in America.
The premise of the book is that the "World Order" created by America's Military Industrial Complex is the only thing that makes it possible for nations to be kind to one another. And than if USA leaves an area then the whole world will fall into ruin and disrepair as they will all tear each other to shreds and leave America alone.

The author is under the delusion that American oil supply is forever, and is completely unaware that American shale has pretty much dried up, and conventional passed peak decades ago. He was making projections saying things like "when they enter the workforce in the 2040's" the workforce? What workforce? What the f"ck is he talking about? Can he really be so utterly blind as to believe the current state of masn wage slavery will continue after the oil supply runs out? I donno, it just seems all rather ludicrous to me.

Anyways, this dude is some kind of pie in the sky dreamer super optimist.

I do admit it was a pretty well researched book for the parts it covered. Mostly just demographic collapse, difficult supply chain geography and some effects of climate change.

But he utterly ignored the energy crises, the soil crises, the resource shortages ad naseaum. Like his fantasy world has infinite resources -- othen than young people, so it's really rather worthless as a projection in the real world.

In does have some gems, but the amount of bias and blindness in this book is only worth archiving as an exomple of the extreme hubris that some Americans can fall prey to.
So I'm probably not gonna waste the paper.

ALWAYS DELETE OLD EMAILS!

Did You Know...???

In the USA, Emails Are “Abandoned” After 180 Days
There are many good arguments for cleaning up your email account, even if you’re not particularly concerned about email privacy. But if you are concerned about privacy, know this:
>Emails older than 180 days are considered “abandoned” by the US government. The government can (and has) looked at these emails without a warrant, thanks to the Electronic Communications Protection Act - a law passed in 1986 when electronic communications were very different.

As far as I've heard, this is fake news as they never even bothered to certify their movie in these countries

This is a last ditch effort to sell a terrible movie
