Merry Christmas Jack, great video, very informative and interesting. Thanks again and I'll be back down there at the end of January. Let's get together when I'm there.

1:05 - FYI, be careful having chickens inside the house. My mom got Tinnitus presumably from a chicken virus she got 35 years ago. Chickens transmit viruses.

[@JackPitmanNica]

In my POV all living creatures transmit viruses, same is true for people... but this only matters when the environment is not healthy and thriving... sickness occurs in creatures that are missing something they need... usually the sickness is not the actual cause. In my experience so far, I can bring in a sick creature at a time, and slowly integrate it into the environment. It will either become healthy, or die. So far nothing has died... One of my cats was incredibly sick, he had been living with some other people. He has FIV and wasn't eating and wasn't really moving, basically dying. The other people gave him back to me to take care of him. All I did was give him a space in a quiet, healthy environment. Within a few weeks, this "dying FIV cat" was totally back to normal. Neko lives like any other happy cat now. My point... we look at the viruses, bacteria, and illnesses as the problems.... usually, they are not.... the problem is something else... this something else causes a weakness in the body, which opens up a space for illness to thrive... To look at the bacteria as the problem is to ignore the environment that allowed the bacteria to become a problem in the first place!

@@JackPitmanNica And, chickens are naturally cannibalistic.

[@JackPitmanNica]

@@archimedespelago Most of what people say is "natural" for a chicken, is not really natural... the chickens people talk about are raised in horrible conditions, with almost no space... chickens who have been abused and fed agricultural waste, sure, maybe they are naturally canabilistic but chickens living together in a small group, with enough space, and enough insects and food to forage? They are not cannibalistic. They do not attack or harm each other, nor do they eat their eggs. Most of what you see online about chickens, is about abused sick chickens... not healthy thriving chickens! Afterall, we could make the same argument about humans right? If we put 10 humans on a deserted island, and we then observe cannabilism, can we say all humans are canabilistic?

Feliz Navidad 🎅☃🎄 Merry Christmas

[@JackPitmanNica]

Igualmente!!

[@oscarespinosa810]

Merry Christmas Jack.. I hope your doing great! By the way I will be arriving in Nicaragua, on the 29th in the Afternoon... I will give you a call or text. So, we can have some coffee on the next day ...

[@JackPitmanNica]

Cool! That sounds good.

[@RealNewsChannel]

Learning how to feed yourself is going to be a necessary skill as the global economy enters an economic crisis. Yes, it's coming. In fact it's already hiting many countries... What I'd like to see is more information on how to live economically and save money in Nicaragua.

[@JackPitmanNica]

Hell yeah, gotta take care of ourselves cause nobody else will :) I'll work on some more videos getting into the details of life here and whatnot, sounds like something others want too!

[@chrislabate4549]

Merry Xmas Jack, question,are parasites like tapeworms and other creepy crawlies as big of a deal in Nicaragua as some websites claim,or is it overblown ?

[@JackPitmanNica]

Its overblown, worms are a constant in all populations of wild animals in every country... same with Nicaragua! If you take care of animals you need to deworm them no matter where you live. And occasionally, it might be good to deworm yourself jajaja but I haven't heard any personal experiences of humans getting worms, just cats dogs and chickens etc

[@archimedespelago]

In Nicaragua, how popular will digital nomadizing be in 2023?

[@JackPitmanNica]

What do you mean exactly? For Nicaraguan people or who?

[@archimedespelago]

@@JackPitmanNica Well, in response to what you asked at 18:05. An update for on digital nomadizing in 2023 would be useful for foreigners. From outside the country, it seems hard to predict how popular digital nomadizing will become in Nicaragua in 2023, since so much depends on the state of the global economy and keeping up to date on the latest policies of the Nicaraguan government. Luckily we have a guy named Jack, to help us learn about the increasing availability of internet services, whether or not is it expected that digital nomadizing could become more popular in Nicaragua in 2023 in and the next few years? Currently, Nicaragua has some of the lowest living costs in the world, making it attractive for digital nomads. What is the latest on a number of remote working visas options recently introduced which help to encourage the growth of the digital nomad community in the country? Thanks for your response!

[@JackPitmanNica]

@@archimedespelago Nice, I see where you are coming from now so I can better help answer First off, Nicaragua will never "look" like the best option for digital nomads online. There is too much negative propaganda that has influenced the online world's portrayal of the country. Most of what people think about Nicaragua is wrong, especially if you are talking about the capital, Managua. In Managua, you can find high quality goods, services, and healthcare. You do not need insurance. You can afford "expensive" private healthcare. If something serious happened, you could go to a hospital in Nicaragua as a foreigner on an expired visa and you would still get treated for free. But the quality of the free care is lower. So, you can use private healthcare, which is usually "expensive" by Nicaraguan standards. For you, expensive private healthcare will feel impossibly cheap. For example, to go to a good dentist in Nicaragua and get a tooth pulled costs $30 per tooth or less... You can go get a good cleaning for $20... no insurance... Insurance exists in Nicaragua but it is by no means necessary. As for the internet, these days "good internet" is some bullcrap number being sold to people. You do not NEED a 1 gigabyte per second internet connection to have "good internet" but I've talked to people who believe that. In practice, all you need is a 40-100MB connection, a backup UPS, and a phone with 4g so that you can use its data in the scenario where the internet goes out But again, this is mostly just in Managua. As soon as you go into more rural areas, the access to internet and healthcare and material things all goes away. Lots of tourist areas exist in these more rural areas. Managua itself though, is an incredibly convenient place to live.

[@MrThomasAnderson7892]

Merry Christmas! Can you take us on walks in the streets? It does not matter where. Take us outside!

[@JackPitmanNica]

Sure, I'll show some streets in Bolonia there are some pretty places there

[@MrThomasAnderson7892]

@@JackPitmanNica I love going for walks, thank you.
