I'm a bit new to this saga but I'm trying to parse what the fuck these people are trying to do.

They're trying to LARP as competent women.

So what exactly is going on in this place? I'm a bit new to this saga but I'm trying to parse what the fuck these people are trying to do. Does their concept of ranching boil down to "food goes in, wool and baby animals come out?" Where the fuck did they learn how to care for farm animals, Stardew Valley?

So far as I can tell, that's pretty much it. They let them freeze to death or starve, doesn't matter, to them, it's just click some buttons and out comes money.

A quick read-around indicates that alpacas usually deliver during early daylight hours. The fact that they have a couple dozen sheep they're wanting to breed is very concerning itself, though; my understanding is that sheep are much more likely to run into complications when lambing.

Depends on the breed, really. Some breeds will run you ragged during the lambing season and you'll end up with a bunch of bummer lambs despite it all that will have to be bottle-fed for weeks, and some breeds are so hardy that lamb losses are rare even if you don't do anything. I recall reading a Shetland miniature sheep breeder comment that he saw one of his ewes go into labor, he left to get the birthing supplies and came back 15 minutes later and the lamb was already delivered, licked clean, standing up, and nursing vigorously. They're very hardy, have excellent mothering instincts and rarely reject a lamb. But they're small and not very prolific, so they're not raised commercially very often (although they are probably the most popular breed of sheep kept as pets). Most sheep breeds are not that self-sufficient.

None of them have any experience with farming or rural living; they have a failing power system ran off of cheap generators and car batteries that break down constantly because they overload the system by gaming basically 24/7, along with having overkill for cameras and other useless shit; they cannot cook for the lives of them; they have already killed any good relations with their neighbors; spending thousands of LARP guns (5.7 pistols and other terrible rifles); and basically are neglecting the animals. Oh, and they're all troons who dialate daily and fake Magamilitia attacks to grift off of donations.

From the previous ebegging;

Did they buy the place without having it inspected or just fucked the wiring themselves as @Jump suggested was possible with the jank batteries?

They got it inspected by the guy who did all the halfassed work. And he said it was "fine".
They later got new batteries. The cheapest wet cell golf cart batteries you could find. And did nothing to fix the design of the system or move the plant to an outbuilding so it isnt venting in their little house.
I never saw where they fixed the burned out wind controller. That thing is just up there for show now I guess and the panels are to few and shit. So the battery plant must be getting charged off the chyna genset if its even used at all anymore.
I kinda think they are just running the genset constantly and guzzling propane. They are on at least their 3rd one.
Washing machines, microwaves, and multi screen gaming rigs are not something you normally think about running when you are off grid solar.

They want sheep? Sheep require so much more care then alpacas. And they are much more sensitive to minerals. I don’t know about alpacas but one of the problems with running sheep and goats together is the fact that goats need much higher trace amounts of copper in their diets which will kill sheep.

Yes

Edit:
If I recall correctly the problem with the PV system was in the wiring and inverter. As to the batteries in the basement. I work in an industry where we have a room full of wet cell batteries for emergency backup to some critical valve systems. Those things need to be checked regularly and topped off or replaced as needed. This is not like your car battery that you install and forget about.

Edit 2:
Some quick research shows that camelids (alpacas) require a higher lever of copper then sheep. If they are feeding them the same mineral blocks they are in for nasty surprises as the copper will build up in the sheep’s liver to the point of death.

oh fuck, I forgot about how those are lead-acid batteries that give off Hydrogen. That's another thing that is a ticking timebomb, because hydrogen, of even 4% concentration is explosive, and knowing their wiring, its going to occur and is going to explode.

This thread taught me everything I need to know about alpaca ranching and dilating a gaping crotch wound.

I'd ask if that Day of the Dead themed bong was culturally appropriative, but the general excuse would involve Bonnie being Latinx, despite Peruvians not celebrating the Mexican Day of the Dead, which is separate and aesthetically different than the general RC All Saints' Day.

 

[Gone Ham]

An interesting look into this place is to see where exactly their donations are coming from. The amount of money they're sent, along with the average amount someone would send to this type of place doesn't exactly add up unless they have a rich sugar daddy. When you also include Kevin's insane purchasing habits, it's even more mind-boggling. Call me autistic, but this shit could be a money-laundering scheme.

All "Latinx" people are obviously the same, bigot.

 

[Russketeer]

The amount of absolute bullshit in the picture triggers me.
Why are there 4 pill bottles just haphazardly strewn about with coins, a pocket knife, whatever that yellow thing is?...just, clean up a little. I'm willing to bet the pill bottles are old empties that are there for no other reason than pure laziness.

What does he mean by getting a bong that bounces? All the bongs I've ever seen have been glass. Do they make plastic ones?

I wasn't paying close attention to that ugly thing. But upon closer inspection it's a silicone bong. Almost as good as glass and squishes and bounces, almost indestructible, and fairly cheap. Makes a good dab rig or something to hook to a forced air vaporizer or something dog proof for the lazy.

That would be the quick timebomb.
The slow timebomb is the subtle hydrogen sulfide poisoning.
Found the post with the new golf cart batteries and the scary charge controller setup.


Add battery leads through sharp metal enclosure with no grommet to the timebomb list.

The whole schtick that extremely assimilated white hispanics like Bonnie have about how they're oppressed, indigenous PoC is as funny as it is sad. I like Steve Sailer's coinage of "Conquistador-Americans" for people like him.

I'm no electrical engineer, but I know that the left side of that board has more issues than not being grounded. And the right side of the board looks off as well. Dunno if it's just because it's dirty, but I don't think that the screws are supposed to be rusted in an electrical area, especially as the system looks relatively new...

Also lacking that Grommet, that's dangerous. I know that the picture are about a year old at this point, but the likelihood of them fixing any of it is slim to none
