Off The Grid

The Atlas brand greenhouse has the curtain attached at the top like others, but the roll up mechanism is in the center of the curtain. It has metal anti billow "hairpins" not all shown installed here. Here the curtains are partially rolled up. note they roll in such as way to not collect rainwater. and it has a 13:1 gearbox. And the "hairpins" attach to the runner channel along the bottom. Overall a much better design for a curtain.

Most green houses have roll up sides that roll up at the bottom... the problem is that the crank handle ends up at the bottom, they won't track straight when lifting, and if you roll them up with the plastic against the vertical wall they will collect water in mildew inside. Also you need anti-billow ropes to keep them against the house in the wind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ei3eePwdpyM

Dr. James Salisbury, 1860s Civil War physician. Union soldiers were dying. Not from bullets. From dysentery, scurvy, and typhoid. The military diet: Hardtack, beans, coffee. Minimal meat due to cost. Salisbury observed: Soldiers with access to beef recovered faster from everything. Wounds healed quicker. Infections cleared. Energy returned. He started prescribing pure beef. Three times daily. Nothing else. The results were so dramatic that officers started requisitioning beef specifically for sick soldiers. Salisbury published his findings in 1888: "The Relation of Alimentation and Disease." His conclusion: Most chronic diseases stem from improper fermentation in the digestive system caused by eating starches and vegetables. His prescription: Minced beef, three times daily, with hot water. For weeks or months depending on severity. He documented successful treatment of: - Tuberculosis - Rheumatism - Mental disorders - Digestive diseases - Obesity - Gout His work was hugely influential. Salisbury steak was named after him. Originally it wasn't a convenience food. It was medicine. By 1920s: Pharmaceutical companies developing antibiotics and drugs for the same conditions. By 1950s: Salisbury's work is ignored, mocked, or forgotten. Today: "Salisbury steak" is a processed meat patty with gravy served in school cafeterias. The medical application has been completely erased from history. A physician who cured chronic diseases with beef was memory-holed because his cure couldn't be patented. The pharmaceutical industry didn't just compete with his methods. They erased them from medical history entirely.

Speaking their language 🐮
