Thread: Need some help with a comment

    Need some help with a comment

    Why does this strike me as, well.... braggadocios bullshit?

    Right now I can hatch a dozen chickens per day from the 20 or so birds I have. It takes less then 4 months for my chickens to reach harvest size. I also have rabbits, turkeys and sheep which reproduce easily.


    Incubating eggs daily, with a 60% success rate 100% of the time?

    And mortality on turkeys is known to be high because they are friggin stupid.

    Or is it just me wanting an excuse to call this boy out because he irritates me?
    I fear the nation I loved may be gone. The best I hope for now is to die with honor in the coming civil war, and that my grandchildren be spared the pain of a tyrannical government.

    Some of their conversations are juvenile in the way that newbies envision themselves as being the lone survivor in an apocalypse because they have mre stores and an AR15 with an instruction manual.

    Nice guys for the most part..

    I try very hard to be pleasant over there.

    I'm tired this evening, and just wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly...

    Hard to tell without more context. If he was answering a question maybe not so braggart but if he's just throwing it out there saying "look at me, look at me" then flame his ass.

    Yep - the classic IT example. If I screw 9 dames tonight, I can have a baby in a month. Bullshit! You know the drill...

    I think I will ask him how many incubators he is running.

    Then ask him how he will run them without electricity, when all of a sudden it takes 28 days to hatch...
