SPECIAL FORCE DESTROY DIRECT ENERGY WEAPON PLANE. UNITED STATES SPECIAL FORCES, DESTROYED an AIR FORCE BOEING 747 that had BEEN AIRBORNE over the TEXAS PANHANDLE when INEXPLICABLE FIRES ERUPTED on February 26, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office Said. March 10, 2024.
United States Special Forces on March 5 destroyed an Air Force Boeing 747 that had been airborne over the Texas Panhandle when inexplicable fires erupted on February 26, a source in General Eric M. Smith’s office told Real Raw News.
The YAL is a modified Boeing 747 with an airborne laser (ABL). It was a collaborative project conceived in 2004 by the Department of Defense, the Air Force, and DARPA as a testbed for intercepting and destroying tactical ballistic missiles while in the boost phase. In 2011, then-Secretary of Defense Gates announced the project’s cancellation, claiming the airframe would need a more potent laser (20-30X) to prove viable on evolving battlefields such as Iran, and adding that the development of such a weapon was financially and technologically infeasible given the current state of technology. In February 2012, the prototype—ostensibly the only one produced–landed at Davis-Monthan AFB, Arizona, where it was purportedly placed in storage at the “boneyard” operated by the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group until it was ultimately scrapped in September 2014 after all usable parts were removed.
Our sources, however, said the decommissioning story was a ruse to conceal a catastrophic accident. As the story goes, technicians were evaluating an upgraded chemical oxygen iodine laser (COIL) when the platform misfired and vaporized the airplane and six workers. What the Air Force placed in the “boneyard” was a plastic and Styrofoam mockup, our source said.
Moreover, the DOD built four YAL-style aircraft for $26 billion, including development and research. YAL­-2, of which there is no public record, caused the Texas Panhandle fires.
On March 4, White Hats learned that YAL-2 took off from Fresno Yosemite International—a joint military-civilian airport—at 3:00 a.m., February 26, and flew southeast toward the Texas Panhandle. It reached Amarillo airspace approximately 2.5 hours later, loitering there at an altitude of 37,000 feet for another 45 minutes. During that time, the plane circled above Pampa and Fritch, Texas, uncoincidentally close to what would be named the Grapevine Creek and Smokehouse Creek fires, the most devastating in Texas’ history. YAL-2 then climbed to 39,000 feet and flew northeast, landing eventually at Wright-Patterson Airforce Base in Dayton, Ohio.
Since a YAL holds 64,000 gallons of fuel and can remain airborne for 16 hours at cruise speed without mid-air refueling, the roughly 8-hour trip was well within its tolerance.
Our source would not share how White Hats obtained evidence of the flight’s existence—it does not appear on publicly available flight tracking applications—but said the proof compelled General Eric M. Smith to orchestrate a surgical, boots-on-the-ground operation, hopefully before YAL-2 again took to the skies.
“General Smith considered inquiring with supposedly friendly forces at Wright-Patterson, but then figured he better not. If any of them were double agents, they could’ve told the Deep State and got that plane in the air right away. Discretion is the better part of valor,” our source said.
The general asked 5th Special Forces Group commander Brent Lindemen to task his best soldiers with infiltrating the base and finding and destroying the plane.
Special Forces clandestinely penetrated the base at 1:00 a.m., March 5, and identified a hangar they believed housed YAL-2, as it was the only one guarded by four United States Air Force Security Forces members, the branch’s equivalent of Army MPs. Special Forces immobilized them using non-lethal force prior to entering the hangar and rigging the airframe with incendiary charges and accelerants attenuated to render the aircraft and laser worthless, without triggering a concussive explosion. YAL-2 burned to a crisp, a fitting end for a plane that itself caused unimaginable destruction.
White Hats received official confirmation of the plane’s destruction that afternoon. U.S. Army Cyber Command overheard a phone conversation between a high-ranking Air Force officer and a Democrat in the House of Representatives who is also a member of the House Armed Services Committee. The officer said, “Looks like we lost one.”
Our source was disinclined to share additional operation details, saying doing so could hinder the hunt for YAL-3 and YAL-4, the crew of YAL-2, and officials who had foreknowledge of the flight.
“We’ll destroy those planes and get the responsible parties,” our source said. “I think it’s safe to say anyone involved will get a rope around their neck.
Real Raw News is aware that other airborne or orbital DEW platforms exist. It’s broadly accepted among qualified researchers that similar tech was used against the Murrah building in 1995 and the Twin Towers in 2001. This article focuses only on the specific plane responsible for the Texas inferno.
Our source said YAL-2 caused the Maui fires, but we have not heard enough about that incident to write an article.
As an aside, it’s both frightening and amusing that reality mimics Hollywood: Airborne DEWs were first seen in the 1985 film Real Genius, in which a group of college nerds build a fifty-megawatt laser for the Air Force, only to sabotage it after realizing the government planned to use it as a weapon of mass destruction.

2024.05.16 12:03 TaliGrayson Australia's biggest beast in the bush may have just committed serial killing. I am not sure if I can show all of you that, so I will tell you.

Being eaten.
No, I do not mean being on the receiving end as someone goes down on you. Sex seems to be popular in fiction these days, if the shitty Fifty Shades of Grey is any indication, and I sorely, desperately wish what I was about to write was all fiction. Then I could sprinkle some gratuitous sex on it, go to a publisher, and hope that it would sell. Then I would be not risking my job altogether sharing this so that strangers on the Internet would at least know of my suffering in having to watch human beings die brutal, bloody deaths to satisfy a desire even more primal than sex and far less pleasurable.
Yes, I’m talking about eating. And about being literally, bona fide eaten. An incredulous notion in modern society, where we live in concrete houses and walk on asphalt streets. Where the animals we encounter are anywhere between little quacking ducks and crotch-high geese. We live free of our early ancestor’s fear of becoming something else’s food. Crocodile, tiger, lion - pick your customer. It, in most cases, starts with the intense pressure of clamp-strong jaws, driving teeth into parts of your body where teeth should not be stabbing into. Depending on how lucky you are, there will likely be hellish pain lasting anywhere from seconds to minutes (that I am willing to bet feels much longer) before death takes you. What happens to your consciousness after that is a popular debate. What happens to your body is not. You get chewed into a consistency similar to hamburger patties in some cases, swallowed whole in others. Different vehicles to the same destination of an acidic stomach. Your useful parts are broken down into a mushy soup. The rest are ejected from the back end.
A shitty way to go, literally and metaphorically. A living human being, full of emotions and dreams and hope, turned into lifeless steak, soup then shit. At least three out of five young men and women whose last days I will recount below went that way. The other two… well, let’s say that it has been three weeks at this time of writing, and I do not have much hope.
The day started with Matthew dropping several paper files in beige covers on my desk. When I opened it and saw a report complete with pictures of grinning people on the first page, I knew right there and then that it was going to be anything but a normal day at work.
“Missing?” I asked, eyebrows raising. It was the single possibility. Police could have pictures on their desks for all kinds of stuff, but not us rangers. Only then did I notice the tight line Matthew’s lips had pressed into.
“Not like that, no.” He shook his head. “None of them got lost. All five came down here from Sydney, stayed at Winston Ward’s place. That’s Ward’s daughter, Madeleine.” His fingers pressed on the picture of a girl at the top of the page. Hair dyed blue and with the brightest smile of the bunch, I noticed. “She and one other, Cathy, their Indigenous guide, are the two still missing.” Matthew pointed next to the picture below Madeleine. Cathy was dark-skinned and had a hiking stick resting above her shoulder, clearly posing for some sort of promotional photo. “And these three, well…”
I took a quick glance at the other photos. Steve Wilson had the build of a runner, wiry and dressed in a tank top to match. Lisa Mooney, blonde with gold-rimmed glasses. Ashley Lo - his curly dark hair tied back into a ponytail. I knew I would not have to pay extra-close attention to their appearance. Two missing.
“I don’t know, man. Kind of wanted your input on it, too.” Matthew shook his head. “Best you see it for yourself. The police could not decide if it was murder or an animal attack, so they requested us. Found all three of them ripped apart. Caught, well, a suspect, I suppose, on their own cam-”
“You kidding? A suspect and they could not decide if it’s an animal attack or not?”
“I know, Tom, watch it for yourself and tell me I’m not crazy. Hells, they didn’t just have the pictures. Caught the damned killings on film, and still can’t decide if he, it - whatever - is man or animal. I will send the footage over in a bit. Some photos are in there, too. Just don’t puke up your breakfast. I’m seriously thinking of going vegan.”
What the fuck?
I frowned. Matthew could not wait for someone to share his hell, I supposed, and quickly retreated back into his office, leaving me alone with the papers.
Here are the facts.
Winston Ward, your typical real estate rich guy, bought some bushland last year next to our park. His plan was straightforward - setting up lavish air-conditioned bungalows amidst the Australian bush, complete with five-star hotel facilities such as private pools and a fine dining restaurant. A luxury retreat amidst trees and shrubs, letting you enjoy the best of nature and avoiding the worst. No insect stings, soaking rains or blistering heat that the normal campers had to suffer. Just a couple of hours drive from Sydney to boot. All well and good, except for the fact that it came alarmingly close to intruding on national park’s land. So Parks and Wildlife Service took notice and kept a close eye on Ward’s project. So far, even though he has not opened his retreat and nothing illegal had been done, Ward became a popular name among us rangers. Just in case.
I certainly did not expect his name - or his family’s name, rather - to come up this way.
It had been Ashley’s idea. An Ecology graduate, he wanted to make a documentary about Aboriginal people’s way of sustainable living among nature. He got his girlfriend, Madeleine Ward, into it, alongside fellow graduates Steve and Lisa. Madeleine easily secured the filming spot with her father. They hired Cathy as the expert for the film, and the five of them occupied two bungalows. Living in the lap of luxury while trying to promote sustainability. Three cameras were installed. Two security cams for each bungalow, expectedly. The third was a camera trap, the kind used on wildlife trails to capture pictures and videos of animals. Likely intended for fun.
As much as I respect the purpose of their never-finished documentary, I find twenty six-year-old Ashley rather hypocritical, and rather gross given how Madeleine only turned eighteen three months ago. But not to speak ill of the dead, I suppose.
I braced myself as I turned the page for the photos, and failed to stop the dry-heave that came up. Three bodies, gnawed clean of flesh. Strands of dark curly hair on the first mangled head identified it as Ashley’s. The skull was smashed open, its insides, empty where a brain had been licked clean, caked with dried blood. Shattered pieces of his bones were strewn over muddy soil, brown rain water filling in troughs where the marrow that had been sucked out. Steve and Lisa was in roughly a familiar state, and I shivered at how disturbingly clean the bones were. Take away the skull that clearly showed the remains to be human, and it could have been a smokehouse’s dump - filled with finished ribs and chicken wings.
And yet, the final photo proved even more unsettling.
It was a still taken from one of the security cameras. At night, judging from the grey filter. It was still bright enough, however, for me to make out the grassy front of a bungalow. Bushes and shrubs lined the far end. A dark figure loomed over them, casting a long shadow.
I shivered once more.
I had walked into the bushes hundreds, if not thousands, of times. I knew how dense they could be - reaching up to your chests in many places. That figure - standing on two legs with long arms drooping at its side - barely had its knees covered by the shrubs. The photo, even though grainy, was clear enough for me to make out a domed head resting upon a neck so thick the figure might as well be said to lack one. Matching broad shoulders held up that neck, deltoids bulging. The… thing, apparently, had little hair as far as I could see.
I did not notice how hard I had clenched my jaws until a cramp-like pain made me grunt. Matthew could not be fucking with me, could he? I had worked with the guy for years. I called the local police station. The woman on the other end confirmed it. Unless a whole station was in on the prank with Matthew - an idea equally impossible as what I was seeing - it seemed like we had won the reverse lottery of missing and dead people cases.
As much as the Internet likes to make fun of its deadly wildlife, most of Australia has no large land predators. Dingoes are pretty much your average dog. The huge crocs live way too far to the north and sharks do not magically appear in the middle of bushlands. Neither looked like some psychopathic, cannibalistic basketball player wearing a shaved-clean, badly proportioned gorilla suit. The police’s best option was us, I could tell, but as far as me and Matthew went, we were equally clueless.
I shook my head and rubbed my temples - for a moment questioning my sense of reality. That was until an alert jabbed into the screen of my desktop. Matthew’s email.
Here is the footage, Tom. Crazy stuff. I got them to send us a scan of Madeleine’s journal, too. Found where those kids were seen last.
An unholy amount of files came in a link he attached.
The rest of my day was spent going through them all. I still know not what to make of what I saw, and I need time to collect myself before I can write of what I have seen on those tapes.
I need a nap. And dinner. But no meat. I agree with Matthew. As much as I loved a nice scotch fillet, I’m probably going vegan for a while.

2024.05.13 23:57 Old_Intactivist Citizens were randomly hanged and shot: The eyewitness testimony of Alice Campbell and others

Introduction to Chapter 8 ("Heralded by Columns of Smoke: Pee Dee River to Fayetteville, North Carolina"):
"Once across the Pee Dee River, General Sherman's army marched in the direction of Fayetteville.
"Resistance from Confederate cavalry under Generals Hampton, Butler and Wheeler was steady and continuous. Wheeler attacked at Rockingham on March 7, and Hampton surprised and captured Kilpatrick's camp on March 10. But Sherman's army marched steadily on.
"General Joseph E. Johnston, with headquarters at Fayetteville, was following General Lee's first instruction, 'Concentrate all available forces.' He moved his headquarters to Raleigh and directed the assembling of his army to Smithfield.
"Eighty-four years earlier, in January of 1781, North Carolina had suffered another march by an invading army. Lord Cornwallis and his army followed almost the same route on their way to Wilmington. This army had come three thousand miles to put down 'a rebellion'; and to pursue retreating 'rebels' through a wild and thinly scattered country. His army had passed through Cross Creek, which was now called Fayetteville.
"On March 11, General Sherman and his army entered this town. 'We have swept the country well,' he reported. 'The men and animals are in fine condition.'"
--------------------------------------------
"Miss Alice Campbell was President of the Fayetteville Knitting Society when Colonel A. H. Hickenlooper, of Sherman's army, chose her home for his five-day sojourn. Bummers also visited her."
--------------------------------------------
"'Sherman, with his hordes of depraved and lawless men, came upon us like swarms of bees, bringing sorrow and desolation in their pathway. For days we had been expecting them, and our loved boys in grey had been passing through in squads, looking ragged and hungry. We gave them food and clothing, especially shoes and socks, for many of them were bare-footed. The enemy seemed to be pouring in by every road that led to our doomed little town. Our Cavalry were contending every step, firing and falling back, covering the retreat of our gallant little band, Hardee's forces, with General Wade Hampton, Butler, and others -- the scene in our town baffled description, all was consternation and dismay. In less time than I can write this, Sherman's army was in possession of our once peaceful, quiet homes. Every yard and every house was teeming with the bummers, who went into our homes -- no place was sacred; they even went into our trunks and bureau draws, stealing everything they could find; our entire premises were ransacked and plundered, so there was nothing left for us to eat, but perhaps a little meal and peas. Chickens, and in fact all poultry was shot down and taken off with all else. We all knew our silver, jewelry and all valuables would fall into their hands, so many women hid them in such places as they thought would never be found ....
''They went into homes that were beautiful, rolled elegant pianos into the yard with valuable furniture, china, cut glass, and everything that was dear to the heart, even old family portraits, and chopped them up with axes -- rolled barrels of flour and molasses into the parlors, and poured out their contents on beautiful velvet carpets, in many cases set fire to lovely homes and burned them to the ground, and even took some of our old citizens and hanged them until life was nearly extinct, to force them to tell where their money was hidden; when alas! they had none to hide. They burned our factories, and we had a number of them, also many large warehouses, filled with homespun, and dwellings, banks, stores and other buildings, so that the nights were made hideous with dense smoke and firelight in every direction. The crowning point to this terrible nightmare of destruction was the burning and battering down of our beautiful and grandly magnificent Arsenal, which was our pride, and the showplace of our town.
''On our vacant lot behind our home .... were a number of Confederate prisoners who had been captured by Sherman's army, and placed there under guard. They numbered about one hundred, I think. They were hatless and shoeless and ragged ....'
"One of General Howard's young officers chose to stay in the home of Sally Hawthorne whose father and uncle owned two large cotton mills in Fayetteville. General Howard appropriated one of her uncle's houses and his men camped in the surrounding fields and grounds."For five days, Sally, her mother who 'refused to leave her room,' her father, and a houseful of young brothers and sisters and servants were under strict orders from the officers of invasion.
"'Never will I forget,' said the little girl, Sally, whose story follows."
--------------------------------------------
"'Those last days were busy ones for General Sherman and his staff. The beautiful arsenal was destroyed and, as it happened, several private residences also caught fire and burned down, no help being given to save them, and the helpless owners rescued little, thankful to escape with their lives. Also the office of the town paper was blown up, as the editor was an especially obnoxious person in the eyes of the invading army, having waged a bitter fight against the North, and as his office was in the centre of the business part of town, more buildings were burned. (2) Then came the last day of the occupation; the troops were gathering and horses and supplies were being moved. All horses found there were taken along and many in the surrounding country were rounded up. Then there were the warehouses of cotton and rosin. The cotton was brought out, the barrels of rosin piled on them, and all set afire in the street. If houses caught, they burned, and that was all; many did. So a pall of black smoke hung over everything and the people were in a sad state of excitement and nervous exhaustion. As many houses were without a man to help or advise, the men of the family having been killed or being still in the army, the women and children were alone with the servants. The servants, with very few exceptions, proved true to their trust; they had been left to take care of the mistress and children in the master's absence, and though much excited, and sometimes frightened, they looked after the household faithfully. Of course there were some foolish and giddy young men and women who followed the army as it moved on from place to place, but they were the exception, not the rule ....'
"'No spot seemed safe from Sherman's bummers, but homes in the country or suburbs usually suffered more keenly than those in a town or city. The experiences of an unidentified woman who lived near Fayetteville were shared by many neighbors who were visited by the men from Sherman's army."
---------------------------------------------
<< Fayetteville, N.C., March 22, 1865 >>
".... Sherman has gone and terrible has been the storm that has swept over us with his coming and going. They deliberately shot two of our citizens -- murdered them in cold blood -- one of them a Mr. Murphy, a wounded soldier, Confederate States Army. They hung up three others and one lady, merely letting them down just in time to save life, in order to make them tell where their valuables were concealed; and they whipped -- stripped and cowhided -- several good and well known citizens for the same purpose.
"There was no place, no chamber, trunk, drawer, desk, garret, closet or cellar that was private to their unholy eyes. Their rude hands spared nothing but our lives, and those they would have taken but they knew that therein they would accomplish the death of a few helpless women and children -- they would not in the least degree break or bend the spirit of our people. Squad after squad unceasingly came and went and tramped through the halls and rooms of our house day and night during the entire stay of the army.'
"At our house they killed every chicken, goose, turkey, cow, calf and every living thing, even to our pet dog. They carried off our wagons, carriage and horses, and broke up our buggy, wheelbarrow, garden implements, axes, hatchets, hammers, saws, and burned the fences. Our smokehouse and pantry, that a few days ago were well stored with bacon, lard, flour, dried fruit, meal, pickles, preserves, etc., now contain nothing whatever except a few pounds of meal and flour and five pounds of bacon. They took from old men, women and children alike, every garment of wearing apparel save what we had on, not even sparing the napkins of infants! Blankets, sheets, quilts, &c., such as it did not suit them to take away they tore to pieces before our eyes. After destroying everything we had, and taking from us every morsel of food (save the pittance I have mentioned), one of these barbarians had to add insult to injury by asking me 'what you (I) would live upon now?' I replied, 'Upon patriotism; I will exist upon the love of my country as long as life will last, and then I will die as firm in that love as the everlasting hills.
''Oh,' says he, ' but we shall soon subjugate the rebellion, and you will then have no country to love.'
''Never!' I interrupted, 'never! you and your blood-handed countrymen may make the whole of this beautiful land one vast graveyard but its people will never be subjugated. Every man, woman and child of us will sleep quietly in honourable graves, but we will never live dishonourable lives .....'"

They burned our factories, and we had a number of them, also many large warehouses, filled with homespun, and dwellings, banks, stores and other buildings, so that the nights were made hideous with dense smoke and firelight in every direction. The crowning point to this terrible nightmare of destruction was the burning and battering down of our beautiful and grandly magnificent Arsenal, which was our pride, and the showplace of our town.
''On our vacant lot behind our home .... were a number of Confederate prisoners who had been captured by Sherman's army, and placed there under guard. They numbered about one hundred, I think. They were hatless and shoeless and ragged ....'
"One of General Howard's young officers chose to stay in the home of Sally Hawthorne whose father and uncle owned two large cotton mills in Fayetteville. General Howard appropriated one of her uncle's houses and his men camped in the surrounding fields and grounds."For five days, Sally, her mother who 'refused to leave her room,' her father, and a houseful of young brothers and sisters and servants were under strict orders from the officers of invasion.
"'Never will I forget,' said the little girl, Sally, whose story follows."
--------------------------------------------
"'Those last days were busy ones for General Sherman and his staff. The beautiful arsenal was destroyed and, as it happened, several private residences also caught fire and burned down, no help being given to save them, and the helpless owners rescued little, thankful to escape with their lives. Also the office of the town paper was blown up, as the editor was an especially obnoxious person in the eyes of the invading army, having waged a bitter fight against the North, and as his office was in the centre of the business part of town, more buildings were burned. (2) Then came the last day of the occupation; the troops were gathering and horses and supplies were being moved. All horses found there were taken along and many in the surrounding country were rounded up. Then there were the warehouses of cotton and rosin. The cotton was brought out, the barrels of rosin piled on them, and all set afire in the street. If houses caught, they burned, and that was all; many did. So a pall of black smoke hung over everything and the people were in a sad state of excitement and nervous exhaustion. As many houses were without a man to help or advise, the men of the family having been killed or being still in the army, the women and children were alone with the servants. The servants, with very few exceptions, proved true to their trust; they had been left to take care of the mistress and children in the master's absence, and though much excited, and sometimes frightened, they looked after the household faithfully. Of course there were some foolish and giddy young men and women who followed the army as it moved on from place to place, but they were the exception, not the rule ....'
"'No spot seemed safe from Sherman's bummers, but homes in the country or suburbs usually suffered more keenly than those in a town or city. The experiences of an unidentified woman who lived near Fayetteville were shared by many neighbors who were visited by the men from Sherman's army."
---------------------------------------------
<< Fayetteville, N.C., March 22, 1865 >>
".... Sherman has gone and terrible has been the storm that has swept over us with his coming and going. They deliberately shot two of our citizens -- murdered them in cold blood -- one of them a Mr. Murphy, a wounded soldier, Confederate States Army. They hung up three others and one lady, merely letting them down just in time to save life, in order to make them tell where their valuables were concealed; and they whipped -- stripped and cowhided --several good and well known citizens for the same purpose.
"There was no place, no chamber, trunk, drawer, desk, garret, closet or cellar that was private to their unholy eyes. Their rude hands spared nothing but our lives, and those they would have taken but they knew that therein they would accomplish the death of a few helpless women and children -- they would not in the least degree break or bend the spirit of our people. Squad after squad unceasingly came and went and tramped through the halls and rooms of our house day and night during the entire stay of the army.'
"At our house they killed every chicken, goose, turkey, cow, calf and every living thing, even to our pet dog. They carried off our wagons, carriage and horses, and broke up our buggy, wheelbarrow, garden implements, axes, hatchets, hammers, saws, and burned the fences. Our smokehouse and pantry, that a few days ago were well stored with bacon, lard, flour, dried fruit, meal, pickles, preserves, etc., now contain nothing whatever except a few pounds of meal and flour and five pounds of bacon. They took from old men, women and children alike, every garment of wearing apparel save what we had on, not even sparing the napkins of infants! Blankets, sheets, quilts, &c., such as it did not suit them to take away they tore to pieces before our eyes. After destroying everything we had, and taking from us every morsel of food (save the pittance I have mentioned), one of these barbarians had to add insult to injury by asking me 'what you (I) would live upon now?' I replied, 'Upon patriotism; I will exist upon the love of my country as long as life will last, and then I will die as firm in that love as the everlasting hills.
''Oh,' says he, ' but we shall soon subjugate the rebellion, and you will then have no country to love.'
''Never!' I interrupted, 'never! you and your blood-handed countrymen may make the whole of this beautiful land one vast graveyard but its people will never be subjugated. Every man, woman and child of us will sleep quietly in honourable graves, but we will never live dishonourable lives .....'"
"When Sherman Came: Southern Women and the 'Great March'" by Katharine M. Jones (1964). Chapter 8: "Heralded by Columns of Smoke: Pee Dee River to Fayetteville, North Carolina." New York: The Bobbs-Merrill Company, Inc. Pages 273-286.

2024.04.27 16:06 PurposeDrvnHomestead Question about processing and preserving meat in warm climates?

We recently moved back to the Southeastern US and are exploring ways to preserve animals we process. Decades ago, the locals would have processed the animals in January or February when it was reliably cold (didn't get above 40's F) and used salt and a smokehouse to cure the meat. Nowadays, no locals cure or salt their own meat because it's common (almost guaranteed) that there were be numerous days/weeks in the 70's in January and February and the meat spoils before you can get it cured.
This got me to thinking... how have people in warmer climates like Latin America preserve animals that they process for long term storage? One solution is to build a climate controlled meat hanging space but who has that kind of money? Does anyone in this thread have experience preserving larger animals like pigs or cattle in warm climates using traditional methods?

2024.04.21 02:18 Vipratus My guide to winning settlements fast.

My guide to winning settlements fast.
0/ INTRODUCTION
Whenever people on this sub ask what the best blueprints or cornerstones are, the answer will always be ‘It depends’. And although it is true that you can’t write a guide with a detailed build order that will always work. There IS a certain mindset that will let you win fast, and I will try to describe this mindset as detailed as possible.
For the most aggressive and fast playstyle, I will assume you have access to the forsaken altar and all citadel upgrades. But I will also describe an alternative somewhat slower playstyle at the end of the guide. At the end I will also write an explanation for the screenshots.
Note that a settlement will always take at least 3 years in the cycle. I will call the fastest style Y3-Y4. This means you aimed for a victory in year 3, and you may succeed or win in year 4. I will call the slower alternative Y4-Y5.
1/ SETUP AND EMBARKATION
Difficulty level: Prestige 2. Prestige games give acces to the altar and the longer storms will give you more time to get things done. A Y3 victory is actually harder on veteran or viceroy than on P2. The P2 setting also means you will get a lot of mileage out of this guide. You can do two full laps around the city on P2, and then go for the seal in a straight line.
Embarkation:
  • Use your reserve points, no need to hoard them.
  • Must-haves: extra people, bricks or stone or clay to build the altar.
  • Nice to have: raw food, amber, provisions, building materials
2/ YEAR 1: BASIC SURVIVAL
Pick your blueprints. Disable all consumption and only allow the raw food that you don’t need for those blueprints. Build 2 or 3 woodcutter camps and a trading post, send trade routes. Then build all camps for your starting resources, build a makeshift post and crude workstation. If you picked a good blueprint for food or building materials, build those too. In the first year you want to focus on woodcutting and production of building materials. I don’t gather from other camps unless I get a +1 cornerstone for them. The other camps and buildings are only built so you can respond to timed orders faster.
When everyone has a job and you are done building, open the first order. For a Y3 victory it is vital that you complete your 3 orders in the first year so you can pick a stormforged cornerstone. If for whatever reason you pick an order that you can’t complete in Y1, then don’t pick the other orders yet and revert to the Y4-Y5 tactic instead.
The rest of Y1 is spent completing orders, building houses, building the forsaken altar, sending trade routes, and chopping paths near glades so you can immediately open them when needed.
3/ END OF Y1 AND EARLY Y2: DECISION TIME
Now we need to discuss perks and cornerstones. For a fast victory you will always need to find a good combo of cornerstones, perks, and blueprints. In general, cornerstones will be the most important part of this equation.
The most defining moment of the run will happen now. You need to find a winning combo and now is when you have a lot of information to process and choices to combine:
  • Perks you gained from the first three orders.
  • Perks you will gain from the fourth and fifth order.
  • Rewards you will gain from glade events if you have opened a glade.
  • A stormforged cornerstone during storm Y1.
  • The perks and goods you can buy from the first trader in Y2.
  • A legendary cornerstone at the beginning of Y2 (including your 3 rerolls, use them now!).
Now when I say ‘winning combo’ I am mostly talking about combo’s and production chains that result in lots of packs of goods. Some cornerstones (such as ‘trade hub’) will directly win you the game, but those are not required to win. Do not worry about resolve yet, focus on efficient production.
4/ YEAR 2: THRIVE BY EMBRACING YOUR COMBO
Now you need to organize your settlement so that you can exploit your combo as much as possible. If you have the smokehouse and +2 to meat, then everyone is now only eating jerky. If you have the lumbermill, +3 to planks, +1 to packs, than make packs of building materials.
The important part is to really embrace your advantage. If you have +2 to meat in the marshlands than ONLY gather meat and ignore the eggs. Don’t spread out, only produce what you can produce efficiently and trade for the rest. If you have a great production chain than build 2 or 3 of them and ignore everything else. Remember you can often kickstart the combo with resources from traders or rewards and snowball from there.
Sidenote: do not open glades yet unless needed for orders, and don’t touch the crates.
5/ YEAR 3: WINNING
The important part of this phase, is thinking of it as an entirely different phase of the game. Everything before this step is about gathering resources and perks, now it is time to spend those resources in order to secure a win. This transition should be abrupt and should be a conscious decision, not something you roll into.
You want to transition into the final phase at the last minute of storm or the first minute of drizzle. If it is too late in Y3, than just delay until Y4.
It requires some experience to know when you are ready to secure the win. If you have 50+ packs of goods and 2 buildings continuously making more packs, then you are probably ready. A building that makes tools is a huge boon too, even if have to buy the bars from traders. Also note that you do not need to start with a high reputation, you will probably only have 4 or 5 from orders.
To secure the win:
  • Remove all consumption restrictions.
  • Trade for food and luxury goods to start a resolve push.
  • Pick the remaining orders (pick the easiest ones, you no longer care for the rewards)
  • Open 2-5 dangerous glades (you should have prepared by chopped paths to them).
  • Start solving the glade events, always pick the option that gives you reputation, avoid options that hurt resolve or hostility.
  • Start to deconstruct your production chains, starting at the bottom. For example if you are producing berries > wine > luxury goods: first remove the folks gathering berries and assign them to the glade events. When you run out of berries, move the wine producers to glade events, etc. You can even destroy the buildings you no longer need and sell the materials.
  • Keep calling traders, buy tools (or bars) if you get the chance. Remove more workers and start working on the crates with those tools.
For a fast win you will need reputation for resolve and orders and glade events and crates, you can not gain 14 points from resolve alone in a single year. Even with everything in place it will still be difficult and you may end up winning in drizzle Y4 instead.
ANNEX: A Y4-Y5 WIN
When do I pick a safer but slower Y4-Y5 win:
  • At P6 or above. The extra cost for buildings makes it very difficult to complete 3 orders in Y1, not to mention building the altar. Sidenote: P10 is the next difficulty spike but not as bad as many people say. With a good combo, a trade focussed victory at Y4-Y5 is still very much possible.
  • When facing a difficult map modifier. Especially no trade or no orders.
  • If I want more time for secondary objectives from world events.
  • If I know I will be unable to build the altar or complete 3 orders in the first year.
What is different compared to the Y3-Y4 win:
  • Don’t pick orders until storm Y1, this is safer as it gives you better odds for completing timed orders.
  • You will only get the altar at storm Y2, you can still follow the guide but most of it will be delayed by one year.
ANNEX: SCREENSHOTS
Remarks on screenshot 1, a successful Y3 victory:
  • The combo was +3 packs of goods and +1 resolve / 50 value sold. This may seem like an extremely lucky combo, but remember you got 3 rerolls for your cornerstone in Y2.
  • I am sacrificing coal for even more resolve. Remember: the last phase is when you spend your resources.
  • I have 2 smiths and a press to produce packs of goods and almost nothing else, most resources are bought from traders.
  • I haven’t picked the last blueprints. I wouldn’t have time to build those buildings anyway. This also shows that you don’t need to spread out production in order to win
Remarks on screenshot 2, a Y3 attempt that turned into a Y4 victory:
  • My stormforged cornerstone was mediocre. For the Y2 cornerstone I chose the free blueprint and picked guild house.
  • The guild house gave me a decent amount of resolve, but the main issue was the low amount of people I had, resulting in a very slow resolve push.
  • I was also unable to complete the need for jerky and need for luxury orders before Y4, because my low population couldn’t spend those resources fast enough.
  • Note how I have built the camps but haven’t really touched my starting resources, again relying on trade for most resources.

THURSDAY, 4/18
  • Visit Tallahassee (old Amtrak Station): Understanding the LGBTQ History of Tallahassee. What would a queer history of Tallahassee look like? What are the most important developments in the writing of queer and LGBT history, and how can they be applied to interpreting the queer experience in Tallahassee over the past 200 years? One of the first academic authors of gay and lesbian history earned his PhD at Florida State in the early 1970s and taught some of the first university courses on LGBT history and culture in the nation on the Florida State campus. Why isn’t this story better known, and how can we build on this legacy? How can theory help ensure that we write histories that acknowledge the centrality of race, class, gender, and gender identity, while also always foregrounding issues of political power, labor, coercion, and class? Theory is not about making what is simple obscure, but instead about helping us to see mechanisms at work, and lives lived, that may have left only faint traces in the archive, rounding out and completing the evidence that has survived in greater abundance. Join Professor Charles Upchurch, Professor of British & LGBTQ History at Florida State University, for a 40-minute illustrated exploration of all of these themes as they relate to Tallahassee’s queer history. 5pm/free

This early spring bloom, commonly known as creeping phlox or moss phlox, also bears the charming name "moss pink." Visitors can enjoy an after-hours self-guided tour of the Keeper’s House Museum and see the exhibit for the lighthouse’s original, historic Fresnel lens constructed in 1894 in Paris, France. Guests can browse the unique nautical gifts and souvenirs in the gift shop. Visitors may also enjoy the glowing bonfire in the park (weather permitting). Bring a chair and enjoy the evening. For those brave souls who are bold enough to venture to the top of the tallest lighthouse on the Forgotten Coast, evening tower climbs are scheduled at 15-minute intervals throughout the event. Climbers will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the bay. Evening climbs cost $10 and climb reservations are encouraged due to limited availability. Climbers must be at least 44 inches tall and children under 12 (FREE) with ticketed adults.

2024.04.17 04:21 Less-Safety-3011 Smokehouse! Smokehouse? Where to Start?

Hey Y'all!
So I've been following the group awhile, started out getting pushed over the edge into the sausage making niche to save money on breakfast sausage. Then I realized how easy ground Itialian is to make.
Next thing I knew, I was buying a bigger, better grinder and my buddies were bringing their venison over to grind in with pork shoulder and brisket.
Now I've gone off the deep end and gotten a sausage stuffer, and I'm about to do my first batch of brats.
But the grail for me is smoked sausage. Kielbasa would be awesome, as my wife grew up around all the Poles in her family, but I grew up Czech and German, in southeast Texas. For those that know, the sausage from Jr's Smokehouse or Prasek's or Bucee's is the target.
I currently live in one of those neighborhoods where you can walk out your front door and touch your neighbor's house. So I can't build a permanent smoke house.
I do most of my cooking in a Pitts and Spitts pellet rig, but the lowest temp in the controller is 180.
Anyone care to share their smokehouse pictures and plans? If I could make it work in my current situation, that would be awesome, but even of it's something that I need to wait until we have more real estate, I'm open to ideas! I think I'd like to be able to smoke about 100 lbs at a go.....

2024.04.08 05:32 Low_Bar_Society Trip Report: [Busch Gardens Williamsburg] & [Kings Dominion] April 6-7, 2024

Trip Report: [Busch Gardens Williamsburg] & [Kings Dominion] April 6-7, 2024
Our most recent trip comprises the typical 1-2 punch D.C. area weekend trip—Busch Gardens Williamsburg and Kings Dominion. We visited these two parks as part of our amusement park honeymoon road trip last year, but Busch Gardens was practically dead on arrival with rain that blanketed the park all day, kept several rides closed, and brought the park to send everyone home by 3 PM. Fortunately, we received free tickets to return as a consolation prize, so here we are. Of course, Kings Dominion was not going to go by without a visit while in the area to revisit some of our favorite rides.
Busch Gardens
Atmosphere: Both times we’ve visited the park, the experience felt a bit hollow, for lack of a better descriptor. The narrower paths, tightly knit buildings, and eye catching architecture absolutely does carry some form of charm, sure, but it sometimes feels a little congested and falls a little short of expectations. It’s nice, but feels a little tacky at times. The generic country-themed merch, like a cheap-feeling Italy apron for $47.99 or a plain grey T-shirt adorned only with a 1.5” embroidered pizza for $37.99, seems out of touch. The depth of the theming is amazing at times. Germany, Oktoberfest, France, and New France all feel fairly nicely done (the Festhaus is quite a gem). Other sections feel a little cheesy and somewhat off-target. I get the idea, and I know many love it, but it isn’t our favorite.
Food: oh boy. If one were to exclude Cedar Point’s Panda Express and the god awful tire rubber Turkey Leg they tossed on the menu for the last day of Halloweekends 2023, BGW takes pretty much all the rest of the spots at the bottom of our park food rankings. The lo mein was reminiscent of Chinese takeout duck sauce packets drenched over rubbery spaghetti. The tenders were okay, but the fries were undercooked and under-seasoned every time we had them. The barbecue sampler at the Smokehouse wasn’t any better. The turkey Pretzel bun sandwich and German Salad at the Festhaus were decent light options, at least. Beer selection is good too. Most of the restaurant crew members were absolutely miserable, and I totally get that even this early in the year they are probably subject to stress and mistreatment by management and rude guests, I never hold it against them, but they often just sucked to be around, try to speak to, or interact with in any capacity.
Rides: It’s a solid lineup for sure. It took us one and a half visits before we were able to ride Pantheon. From sitting in the station for 90 minutes waiting for drizzle and a light breeze to subside last year until they just shut the entire park down early, to waiting in line for 30 minutes only to have it go down for another half hour while we were one train out from boarding while they addressed a faulty restraint issue, to finally being able to ride only to have the ride go down again while we were on the break run (okay this one was just comical). It never reopened after that. It was a great ride—the multi-directional launch and beyond vertical drop off the top hat were both astounding, but we felt the rest of the layout was just decent. It’s obviously not bad by any stretch, just leaves a bit to be desired as a major park’s marquis ride. Apollo’s Chariot is an absolutely smile-inducing hyper with an airy, adventurous layout. Tempesto eluded us due to the weather both times (it seems that it along with Pantheon are abnormally susceptible to even light sustained breezes, even among other sensitive rides, or at least that has been our observation). Verbolten is a really cool and varied experience. DarKoaster is a decent novelty. Griffon and Alpinegeist are solid B&M loopers. Loch Ness Monster is an absolute gem of a time capsule. InvadR is an okay layout for a small family ride but it was quite disappointedly rough (Mystic Timbers must be maintained by actual deities in the offseason compared to this thing). We did not ride the kiddie coaster. Finnegan’s Flyer is decent as a feature flat ride. Operations were generally okay. They weren’t the fastest or the slowest. It is nice that their loose article policy is consistent across the park, as is bin availability.
Kings Dominion:
I’ll keep this one a little shorter as we’ve been here several times before, and I don’t want to just keep rambling like a KD simp. We just flat out love visiting this park, and we’ve never had anything less than an amazing time here. Today in particular, the staff was exceptional at all times. I had a fun rant with one of the P305 crew members for a while about our love-hate relationship with Intamin coasters at different parks and about P305’s unfortunate status as Cedar Fair’s moss-riddled and sun-bleached bastard child. I’m still convinced Twisted Timbers has one top ride crews in the country (beating goal dispatch time just because they can when there are only three people queueing, for instance).
Rides: P305 is in a different class from other “roller coasters.” The first drop is unmatched (opinion, obviously), and I get to meet our Lord and savior Jesus Christ at the bottom of it every single damn time I ride for several seconds, and I don’t even have to pay tithes or reach rock bottom with an addiction to do it. It is the final lift hill that still triggers an adrenaline dump for me every time I begin its ascent. Coasters like Steel Vengeance and Fury are, in every capacity, just as fun, but I liken this ride to skydiving, motorcycle drag racing, or swimming with white sharks in a cage. It just slaps every time. I’m having some folks over tomorrow for an eclipse cookout back home as we’re in the totality zone, and they won’t be able to hear me say much of anything because I lost my voice screaming like an absolutely giddy child every time I rode this from start to finish. If there is a comparable experience to be found at any amusement destination, I have not found it yet.
Twisted Timbers is my wife’s favorite, and really not incredibly far off for me. It was still a treat today, but it is murderously powerful on those hot 90 degree nights. When describing this to friends or family back home, I liken it to Steel Vengeance’s second half, but with a bit more variety and three copies of Maverick’s first camelback crammed after the first turn. It’s been a little slow to warm up sometimes during past trips, but we rope dropped it on a chilly 50ish degree morning and it was already a little pissed off and chomping at the bit. 10/10 would go for 3 laps around the orchard again.
Dominator is another solid looper. Racer 75 has oodles of (very weak) floater in the front row as always, but they fixed the nasty pothole entering the turnaround! Anaconda has some janky-fun moments at the beginning and end but the middle is simply bad. Berserker, a fully inverting swinging ship, is one of the baddest flat rides out there with tons of hangtime (more than Pantheon and it’s a dry rotten boat lol). Flying Ace is a cool first taste of greater thrill for little ones, but the 25 minute dispatch time was a little odd. We finally remembered to try it yet now find ourselves sadder having endured it. Grizzly is solid with plenty of fun floater airtime, a fun back row drop, and some drab moments that luckily don’t completely kill the ride.
We elected to get going after this. On the way out, we gave Grain and Grill another try. The food at either G&G has always been very flavorful yet drier than desert sand. My pork and rice fit the bill. Her shrimp and squash was actually tasty and managed to retain some moisture content. Bravo.
Uh, thank you for coming to my Ted Talk. If anyone will be in Sandusky getting launched backwards at 101mph on May 1st or 4th, see ya there!

2024.03.24 05:19 thegreatestpitt Is my vocabulary limited or is Shadow of the Gods by John Gwynne a little difficult to read?

TL;DR: the shadow of the gods is super cool but it’s filled with words I don’t know so I keep having to stop reading to Google these words, and while I do want to read the book, it feels like a chore to read and stop, read and stop, just to Google the meaning of words. What should I do or how can I make it feel like less of a chore?
——
So English isn’t my first language but it’s the language that I like to read in. I’ve been reading this book (shadow of the gods) and idk what changed cause I was enjoying myself a lot but I reached chapter 5 and now I find myself stopping what feels like every paragraph to Google what a word means.
Examples:
Prow, Bows (naval), Stern (naval), Tiller, Promontories, Toil, Vaesen, Prowed, Brynja , Riveted (although there’s many definitions for the word and I’m not sure which one the author meant to use), Mail (as in coat of mail, as in like armor), Heaved, Seax, Handspan, Nålbinding, Dour, Boss as in shield boss (a section of a shield, not an actual boss in the common sense), Smokehouses (didn’t know what they were), Terns and herring gulls (didn’t know what terns or herrings were but I know gulls), Shingle, Hefted, Torc, Glowered, Milled (as in a crowd moving), Bounding, Wattle, Daub, Fringe.
There’s also a line that says: “twisting through a snarl of buildings” and I couldn’t find anything on what “snarl” in that context means, as the buildings were not snarling like a dog.
Listen, I’m really enjoying the vibe and the atmosphere and all that, but omg it took me so long to finish this chapter because I had to constantly stop and google these words, which in turn keeps pulling me out of the story.
I can “forgive” some of the naval words and armoweapon related words cause that’s just the name for these things, but idk man, it’s just difficult to read when in one chapter I got bombarded with a bunch of new words.
I like learning new words, but this chapter just felt like a barrage of words I had never seen and it really did make the reading experience a bit bad for me personally.
I have two questions: for those who have read this book, do words like that pop up a lot in the rest of the book?
And for people in general: does anyone have any advice on something I could do to read this book and enjoy it even if it’s full of big or strange/uncommon words? Cause the idea of the book, the vibe and the world building is really cool, and I do want to see where it goes next, but I feel like it’s just gonna be a chore to finish the book if I have to stop multiple times every other chapter just to Google what a word means.
Like, I don’t want to be mean but this chapter felt like a mixture between reading a dictionary and reading an awesome Viking fantasy story.
Also, I mean, it could just be that English isn’t my first language, and maybe a bunch of these words are a little more common knowledge for native English speakers than I’m aware of, but if that’s the case, I’d like to know.
Idk, I want to read this book, but don’t want it to feel like a chore, but at the same time I feel like it could be an educational book cause I could learn a bunch of new words, but while that would be cool, it wouldn’t stop being a chore to do so in this context so then idk if I should keep reading cause I am both enjoying it and dreading it so I really don’t know what do do. lol.
Edit: formatting.
