Episode 871 kicks off with a cabin build update after a weekend of bad weather, mud, and making progress anyway — plus the reality of juggling two-person build tasks when life and work schedules get in the way.Then we get into a local small-town story: a gas station attempted break-in that blew up across every Facebook group in the region… and ended with three suspects apprehended — all minors. The wild part? One of them showed up with a rifle.From there, Minnesota keeps doing Minnesota: protests, outrage cycles, and people watching the same footage and somehow arriving at completely opposite “truths.” We also hit Bitcoin price action, the weekly guessing game, silver going on a tear, and the ongoing propane regulator saga that should’ve been a simple fix… but isn’t.Partners, Sponsors & Resources • Signature Solar: https://signaturesolar.com/?ref=LOTS • Blockstream Jade & JadePlus (10% off): https://store.blockstream.com/?code=TheLOTSProject • Fold Card: https://use.foldapp.com/r/FANEWETX • Food Forest Farms: https://foodforestfarmms.com (as spoken in the episode) / https://foodforestfarms.com • Comfrey Roots: https://comfreyroots.com • The Bitcoin Standard: https://amzn.to/4qdKSyH • Bitaxe 602 Gamma Solo Miner: https://www.solosatoshi.com/product/bitaxe-gamma/aff/213/Affiliate Disclosure: Some links may be affiliate links.
