Section 24220 of the 2021 Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act directs the Department of Transportation to develop a safety standard for technology in future passenger vehicles that can passively detect impairment and restrict operation of the vehicle. People call it the kill switch provision. It isn’t a remote government button; it’s technology built into the car that monitors the driver and makes a determination about whether you’re allowed to drive. That distinction matters, and so does the broader question of how much decision-making authority we’re comfortable building into the machines we own. This is why I’ve been looking at older vehicles differently. A new truck can reach a price that would have sounded absurd not that long ago, and that’s before a single sensor fails and a repair balloons into programming, calibration, and dealer-specific equipment. An old truck has an ignition, an engine, a transmission, and a driver. Nothing analyzing your face, no over-the-air updates, no internet connection needed to do its basic job. The privacy side, the repair side, the ownership side, physical buttons, and a real key still win for me. If you’ve been eyeing an old truck lately, you’re not the only one. And yes, I have thoughts on Cash for Clunkers.

TikTok pulled my video on how American medicine was reshaped, and that reaction alone tells you this piece of history still makes somebody uncomfortable. I'm a first-time homesteader, and the more I dug into old hospital photographs, the harder it was to ignore how much of an older approach to medicine was pushed aside within a generation or two. Hospitals used to be built around sunlight, fresh air, and enormous porches where patients could recover outside. Heliotherapy, hydrotherapy, mustard plasters, copper surfaces, wool blankets, cross-ventilated wards. All of this existed in real hospitals and was used by real doctors, long before sealed windows and artificial lighting became the default. Then in 1910, the Carnegie Foundation published Abraham Flexner's report, which redefined what a respectable medical school was supposed to look like. Between 1913 and 1929, the Rockefeller-funded General Education Board poured tens of millions into a short list of institutions, enough to build the laboratories, hire the faculty, and fund the research programs that many competing schools, including homeopathic, eclectic, osteopathic, and naturopathic ones, could not match. Those institutions trained the doctors. Those doctors became the professors, hospital administrators, journal editors, and licensing officials who decided what counted as legitimate care.  If that chain of influence is real, the hospital you walk into today starts to look less like progress and more like a decision somebody made for you.

Baking bread, canning, sewing, keeping chickens, making butter, drying herbs. These were everyday skills that stopped being passed down in the span of two generations, and now they're making a comeback at a time when people seem burned out by modern life. I want to talk about why that's happening, and what we can actually learn from it instead of treating it like another passing internet trend. My farmhouse has a meat locker in the basement. Households used to raise and grow much of what they consumed, and their homes reflected that. What matters even more is competence. The first time you make butter, you realize how simple it is. The first time you bake bread, you realize it doesn't have to come from a plastic bag. That knowledge builds confidence. I also caution against turning grandma hobbies into another form of consumerism. You don't need a curated kitchen or matching linens to start. Pick one skill that would actually be useful in your life, and give it a month. You are capable. This is your little push to go and do it. You’ll Learn:  [0:00] Introduction [1:58] What people actually mean by grandma hobbies [3:41] Grandmas made clothing from wool instead of recycled plastic [6:32] Tangible results feel different from vanishing screen time [8:02] The competence shift that comes from making something yourself [11:04] Gardening can be as simple as you make it [12:41] Older household items were expected to age, not be replaced [15:09] How communities were dismantled in two generations [17:06] The warning against turning grandma hobbies into consumerism [18:49] Pick one skill and spend a month learning it Related Gubba Homestead Episodes: Are Modern Homes Designed to Keep You Dependent?

I live in a 75-year-old farmhouse with a root cellar, a giant pantry off the kitchen, and an old walk-in meat locker in the basement with all of its equipment still there. The more I learn about how older homes were designed, the more I realize how much the house itself used to do the work for the people inside. Before central air, deep porches shaded exterior walls before heat ever entered the home. Windows sat opposite each other so air could actually move. Deciduous trees shaded the house in summer and dropped their leaves in winter to let sunlight back in. Sleeping porches caught the evening breeze. Root cellars held food without electricity, and summer kitchens kept cooking heat out of the main house. Modern subdivisions skip most of that. Homes get jammed together for speed and resale, without much thought for the position of the sun or the seasons. Then some owners move into brand-new homes and discover water intrusion, HVAC problems, and finishes failing much earlier than expected. There's also a tangent about millennial gray, personality-free interiors, and why I'm going to paint a mural of my farm in the laundry room regardless of what a future buyer thinks. You’ll Learn:  [0:00] Introduction [2:37] What the layout of an old home reveals about its people [5:14] Wraparound porches shielded the house from heat [6:52] Sleeping porches and catching the cooler evening breeze [9:16] The millennial gray pandemic and losing a home's personality [11:39] Modern kitchens with nowhere to store 30 jars of peaches [13:21] Dense materials that moderate temperature through the day [15:59] Whether homes are optimized for longevity or resale [17:52] What happens when a single household system fails [21:25] Relying on grocery stores as the new root cellar Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Website Gubba Homestead Products | Shop

A few years after Wilhelm Reich claimed he'd greened part of the Arizona desert, he was dead in a federal prison, and his publications were being destroyed under court order. In late 1954, Wilhelm Reich took his cloudbuster into the Arizona desert to test whether it could reverse drought in the driest conditions he could find. What he claimed happened next is the part of the cloudbuster story that never gets told. After building my own cloudbuster in my garden and watching haze and wildfire smoke clear within twenty minutes of powering it up, I went digging into his journal, CORE, which describes dozens of atmospheric operations: direction, duration, targets, timing. Reich wasn't only trying to make rain. He was trying to break up what he called DOR, deadly orgone energy, a condition he believed made the atmosphere stagnant, dry, and hazy. Then he went to Tucson, where Mount Catalina grew clearer, humidity rose, and clouds began forming in areas he'd recorded as dead sky. January 1955 came in unusually wet for the region. Photographs from the expedition were even cataloged under phrases like 'The Prairie Reborn', as parts of the desert began greening. A few short years later, Reich was in federal prison. His publications were destroyed under court order. By 1957, he was dead. That sequence is worth questioning.

Seedless grapes, seedless watermelon, seedless citrus... almost every fruit at the grocery store has been bred to remove the one part that actually makes it a plant. I only started noticing this when I went to buy grapevines for my garden and saw "seedless" listed as the top selling point on nearly every variety. Growing up, I would have picked seedless every time. Now I deliberately look for seeded ones, and this episode is about why that changed. Seeds carry the plant's genetics, the nutrients we're told to supplement with, and the option to grow food again next year without buying anything new. Grape seed extract is sold in capsules while the grapes themselves are engineered to remove the same seed those capsules come from. That contradiction runs through the whole food system. Heirloom and traditional varieties don't get banned. They get replaced when shoppers stop buying them, growers stop planting them, and nurseries stop stocking them. A variety can disappear without anyone deciding to remove it. I also raise a bigger pattern in the episode: Fertility is dropping in people, and it’s being bred out of the fruit we eat. Both are worth paying attention to.

After bringing back an old television, building a physical DVD collection, and cutting off appliances that want an internet connection, I started looking more closely at what "smart home" actually means for your privacy. In a 2017 FTC (Federal Trade Commission) case, Vizio's software was found to have tracked second-by-second viewing across roughly 11 million televisions. The tracking pulled information from cable boxes, external streaming devices, DVD players, and over-the-air broadcasts. Then there's the Amazon case, where children's voice recordings were kept indefinitely, and thousands of employees reportedly had access to Alexa users' recordings without a business need. Convenience is how nearly all of this gets through the front door. Preheating an oven from an app sounds harmless until you ask what you're trading for it, and how many points of failure you've added to your household. People are outraged about Flock cameras on the pole, then walk past a doorbell camera and a voice assistant to get to the couch. That disconnect is the whole conversation. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:15] Technology stopped serving us and started learning about us [6:32] The Vizio case and second-by-second viewing data [8:32] How voice assistants actually record and who listens [10:08] Amazon kept children's voice recordings and geolocations [13:35] The strange disconnect between Flock cameras and home devices [16:48] Convenience is how all of this gets through the front door [19:38] Backdoor upgrades and the two iPhones that failed the same day Go Deeper: Explore why I’m trading smart-home convenience for more privacy Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Website Gubba Homestead Products | Shop

His name was Wilhelm Reich, a physician and psychoanalyst who spent decades studying what he called orgone energy, a force he believed moved through living things and the atmosphere. Reich designed arrays of hollow metal pipes connected to water and pointed them at the sky. He claimed they could shift atmospheric conditions, dissipate clouds, and even bring rain. In 1953, blueberry growers in Maine paid him after rain followed one of his experiments. In the mid-1950s, he ran the same tests in the Arizona desert. Then the FDA came for his orgone accumulators, a federal court issued an injunction, and quantities of his publications were destroyed under court order. He died in prison in 1957. I've been running my own backyard version of his work. Copper pipes in the garden. A gravel basin with water. Blackberries and strawberries responding on the copper side. Skies clearing after wildfire smoke. And posts about it getting flagged and hidden online. If copper in a garden is harmless nonsense, why work so hard to make sure people don't hear about it?

Let's explore what I’ve been reading about the modern fertility crisis, and why so many people around me are struggling to conceive. I'm not a doctor, and none of this is medical advice. It's a walk through the research in relation to what I'm observing in my own life. Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA and phthalates keep coming up in reproductive research. Phthalates hide inside a single word on a label: "fragrance". That one word can represent dozens or hundreds of compounds, which is part of why many fertility clinics won't let you walk in wearing perfume. Microplastics are another piece of this. A 2024 study found them in every human testis sample examined. Others have detected them in ovarian follicular fluid, blood, placentas, and breast milk. Then there's food. Diets high in ultra-processed foods have been linked to lower sperm concentration, reduced motility, and poorer morphology. Similar patterns show up in women. No single cause explains what's happening. That's exactly why I wanted to talk about the cumulative picture. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:41] Declining sperm counts have researchers asking whether human biology itself is changing [6:04] How endocrine-disrupting chemicals mimic hormones and why sunscreen ingredients started my investigation [9:10] The BPA replacement pattern where each "safer" chemical turns out just as bad [12:53] The cocktail effect of applying hundreds of chemicals to your body before breakfast [17:42] Trust your own eyes over waiting for science, and the copper garden lesson [21:28] Why oxidative stress damages delicate sperm cells and how antioxidants may help [23:23] There is no single cause, so return to the fundamentals and tune into your body Explore More: The research behind the modern fertility decline Related Gubba Homestead Episodes: Your Wardrobe Is Killing Your Hormones.

In this episode, I share what I found in old books, Latin dictionaries, and dragon artwork, and outline why those sources contradict what we learned in school. A 1946 dictionary defined dragons as "now rare". My 1700s Latin dictionary lists female dragons, water dragons, and baby dragons as if they were distinct animals. Medieval manuscripts placed dragons next to elephants and wolves, not in a separate section labeled fantasy. Ancient China, medieval Europe, Japan, the Vikings, and the feathered serpent cultures of Central and South America all recorded dragon-like creatures independently across thousands of years. The Chinese zodiac uses eleven real animals and one dragon. Why? My argument with Dr. Phil about carbon dating comes up. So does the Triceratops skull I once stood next to before a museum whisked it away, a 1500s book on the medicinal use of the unicorn horn, Marco Polo's writings on dragons and griffins, and why I think rare book collectors are acting as gatekeepers of a version of history most people will never see. I'm not telling you dragons existed. I'm asking why the answer feels so protected. You’ll Learn: [0:00] Introduction [3:45] How a 1946 dictionary defined dragons as "now rare" instead of imaginary [5:48] Dozens of disconnected cultures recorded strikingly similar dragon creatures [9:01] Why medieval books listed dragons alongside real animals like elephants and lions [12:52] The newspaper accounts of flying reptiles that historians still debate [17:46] Why the Chinese zodiac lists only real animals, except the dragon Resources Mentioned: The forgotten books that described dragons Related Gubba Homestead Episodes: These Secrets Hidden in Mainstream History Reveal A Dark Pattern Find more from Gubba: Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | Website Gubba Homestead Products | Shop

After five years of growing blackberries on the homestead, this year's harvest has been the most abundant I've ever had, and it lined up with the season I loaded that bed with copper wire and antennas. Electroculture is the practice of placing copper stakes, wires, and antennas in the garden to interact with the natural electricity in the atmosphere. Some gardeners swear by it. Others insist there's no science behind it. My response to the "no research" crowd is simple: my eyeballs are the research. The beds with copper and the beds without look nothing alike, and the difference is obvious. There's a bigger story tucked inside this too… Old French books on electroculture that people say disappeared. An element called aether that used to sit in the dictionary and doesn't anymore. Antennas on the old world's fair buildings that I've talked about in the “Secrets Hidden in Mainstream History” episode linked below. None of that proves anything on its own, but it makes you wonder what we've been trained not to look at. If you've been curious about copper in the garden, or you're tired of being told a good harvest requires a paywall of fertilizer and sprays, this one is for you.

Five years ago, homesteading felt like the beginning of a movement. Now Marketplace is full of chicken coops, freeze dryers, incubators, and canning supplies, and I've been noticing the shift. People who once posted daily about their gardens haven't planted one this year. Some are openly saying they're done. Others have moved on without much explanation. That got me asking why so many jumped in around 2020 only to walk away a few years later. Fear is a strong motivator. Empty grocery shelves pushed millions of people to learn skills they'd never considered before, and I think that was a good thing. Once fear fades and life gets comfortable again, most people drop the lifestyle… but I'm still out here living it. The goats still yell at me on Saturday mornings. The weeding never ends. Canning butter at 2 a.m. is a real thing that happens. There's also a comparison problem worth naming. You can't see the family money, the inherited knowledge, or the nanny behind the picture-perfect homestead you're measuring yourself against.  This episode is my honest read on why people quit, what the ones who stay have in common, and why starting small in your kitchen matters more than trying to run a full operation on day one.

Your clothes and bed sheets touch your skin more than almost anything else, so why have we stopped asking what they're made of?  For thousands of years, clothing came straight from nature: linen from flax, cotton from the plant, wool from sheep. In the last century, synthetic fibers like polyester, spandex, and acrylic took over our closets, and most of us have never stopped to ask what that shift might be doing to us. In this episode, I break down the difference between natural and synthetic fibers, and why our skin (our largest organ) reacts so differently to each. I also share a surprising study linking polyester garments to lower fertility in dogs, and dig into the chemical treatments hiding in modern textiles, from flame retardants to stain-resistant coatings. This isn't about tossing your whole wardrobe overnight. It's about small, sustainable swaps, like linen sheets and wool blankets, that add up over time.  If you've never thought twice about the fabric touching your skin all day, this episode might just change that.

I'm a first-time homesteader who spent most of my life buying tomatoes instead of growing them, and this episode is the honest reckoning I had once I started putting seeds in the ground. Two generations ago, gardens weren't a hobby or a lifestyle. They were a basic household skill, right alongside cooking and cleaning. Then convenience arrived, supermarkets grew, and the knowledge my great-grandparents took for granted disappeared inside a single lifetime. I want to talk about how that happened, why the Victory Garden Movement produced more than vegetables, and why the perfect lawn might be one of the strangest trades we've ever made.

Returning to a '90s household is about noticing how much ownership we've handed over to streaming services, smart devices, and cloud servers without realizing it. As a first-time homesteader, I've spent years learning to stop depending on grocery stores. Lately, I've been applying that same thinking to the technology inside my home, and it started with one small decision: bringing an old CRT television into the house. The response I got online told me thousands of people are hungry for the same thing. Vinyl records, film cameras, DVDs, camcorders, and libraries are all having a moment right now, and it isn't because everyone suddenly became sentimental. Convenience is not free. Streaming replaced ownership. Smartphones replaced dedicated cameras and brought constant distraction. Cloud storage replaced photo albums that your grandchildren could hold in their hands. If we can pass down canning jars and gardening knowledge, we can pass down movies, music, and photographs, too.
