You can almost feel the neon street lights behind you, teasing you with a wild night back where the city is still alive, but your eyes stay focused ahead, on the dark strip: the abandoned sprawl that lies on the way to the new shore.

You’re ready to get away from downtown because lately it seems like you can’t even hear your own thoughts anymore. Maybe when you get to the beach you’ll figure out who or what is blocking you from listening to your inner voice. But then again, maybe not.

All around you, sand and silt infiltrates the parking lots and the ground floors of otherwise sound buildings, stale bogs. The fine mud sticks to the soles of your boots, suctioning the pull of each step.

Small pools of water begin to interrupt your path at an increasing rate. It’s difficult to tell for certain, but they might be releasing faint light. Your eyes are only human, anyway. As you get closer to the shore, whatever hints of brightness you think you might be seeing in the puddles is drowned out by the brilliant intensity you’re here to witness, the view that can wipe everything away, the glowing surf.

The edge is quieter than you remember. Liquids fill the nooks and dips of the land without noise and in no rush. Then, folding over, they recede. In some places the broth mixes, though the colors remain true and somehow resist becoming a dull tar. In another place, a vibrating stream of pink forms a ribbon through electric yellow goop, refusing to assimilate.

The surf seems to both suffer from and be invigorated by a uniform phosphorescence. Likely the remnants of some tritium disaster from not too long ago, not too far away. The countless other isotopes saturating the gulf remain unseen, but you are well aware that the radiation has left real marks on the DNA of the creatures that cling to life below the surface.

A small crab rolls into an old soup can, neon markings on its belly like alien glyphs, its arms seeking something in an uncoordinated way. It’s choking on a thin, glitter-purple sheath of synthetic bacteria. You remember reading in the logs about these bacteria, designed illegally in some basement of the city a decade ago. A desperate bid to help clean up some of the mess. Not exactly a shame, maybe something worse.

Trash floats between broken parking blocks and twisted railing and many items keep their form. You recognize the outlines of beer bottles, a soccer ball and a refrigerator door. All of them painted over in bright streaks of color.

The end of a slow wave carries a newspaper leaf before you and it clings to one of your boots. It’s an antique. The surf works its best magic on paper, fortifying the cellulose with heavy metals and keeping the text and images preserved. It’s a bleeding page advertisement, pristine except for the color. A woman holding a toothbrush smiles up at you with lime green lips, a shock of tangerine hair and electric blue skin.

You realize how shallow your breaths have been up to this point and let the salty breeze enter your lungs with the rapidity its been asking for.

What would your father think of all this? If he were still around.

And that’s it. You feel you have your thoughts back. You exhale and advance into the glowing surf.

Now you’re ankle-deep and you bend over to scoop up a conch shell that’s the size of your fist. You push your hair aside and put it up to your ear.

No hollow wind, no airy breath of the sea. An unnatural silence. Almost like a glitch…

You use a keychain LED to help you to see inside of the conch shell. There’s a wire… something that you might be able to jack into your system.

You pad the outside of your vest with your palm, hoping you’re carrying the right adapter. The last time you connected to an unknown drive, you fried the adapter and your scanner was left wide open to hackers. You told yourself you’d learned your lesson. But did you really come all the way out here to stop taking risks?

You locate the right adapter under a mess of tangled wires and batteries in your pocket, still in its second-hand plastic bubble re-packaging. You bust it free and use it to plug into the conch shell.

A semi-transparent holographic window projects from inside the conch. The slow, thick waves behind it begin to appear almost volatile through the image.

The screen displays jumbled characters in a garbled list that doesn’t obey clean columns or rows. New text blazes forth, scrolling on its own as though consumed by some need to be seen but it’s much too fast for you to read.

It could be the remnants of a menu from a corrupted drive or maybe it’s something more exotic like dynamic encryption.

It stops and goes dark. Shit.

You check the adapter—it’s not obviously burnt. Still, you hate how you’re always taking unnecessary risks and for what—a random seashell?

Maybe there’s a hidden way to boot the data. What if your npub and key could unlock something good?

"Anger is just anger. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It just is. It's what you do with it that matters. It's like anything else. You can use it to build or destroy. You just have to make the choice.

Constructive anger, also known as passion. Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed slaves. Passion has brought justice where there is savagery. Passion has created freedom when there is nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their lives and build something Better, stronger, and more beautiful. Anger can help build if it's properly controlled."

-Partially paraphrased quote from the Dresden Files.

But this is something that I wholeheartedly believe.

Talk about an echo chamber though 🤣


My perspective is it’s good to speak out against things that are evil or unwise. It leaves room for people to choose many different positive things TO do. It is more respecting of freedom and individual choice.

Telling someone what TO do is important for guidance. But telling someone what not to do is important for boundaries. I see both as necessary in everyday life as well as churches, since you brought them up.


Is your reason not to just about what you said above, or something else?


Still check out the website, it’s really good.

How could I not list tea?  🤦♀
REALLY good black, green, and oolong teas.
Some oolongs could be perfumes in their own rights.

Also
Narcissus / daffodil and Carolina Jessamine (unrelated but smell similar to each other)
Probably lotus flower (never actually smelled one, but some lotus scented teas are beautiful. Others smell awful. Idk what that deal is)


In no particular order (and I may come back with more):

Hickory nut rind, it’s the smell of the forest for me (other good ones are sweetgum leaf and tulip poplar leaf)
Woodsmoke
Good fresh coffee
Cedarwood
Amber
Myrrh
Osmanthus
Bison grass
Rose and peony
Clove
Cardamom
All the citruses and their flowers
Sunflower
Hazelnut
Almond
Tomato leaf
Rosemary
Star jasmine
Jasmine
Gardenia
Jujube flower
Honey locust pod and flower
American persimmon fruit
Good vanilla
Leather
Clay and glaze tend to have a subtle particular smell (not reclaim, which is stinky, but the fresh stuff)

Now I have four of these hand-carved, braid-handled tree #mugs for #sale

I’m very proud of them!

They hold about a cup, and are dishwasher, microwave, and food safe.

Item price (all you pay if we can arrange in-person pickup in Northern Virginia, or at Anarcon Sept. 28):  $50 or the BTC equivalent of $45 each.

Shipping anywhere in the U.S.:  $10 or the BTC equivalent of $10

These match one of the soap pumps which is still for sale for $52 or the BTC equivalent of $46.80. One of you will be able to outfit your kitchen with matching handmade pottery!

If you order more than one item, shipping will need to be recalculated.

他的父亲撒迦利亚被圣灵充满, 就预言说:
“主——以色列的神是当受颂赞的,
 因为他临到了他的子民,
 并施行了救赎.
他在他的仆人大卫家中,
 为我们兴起了一只救恩的角,
正如他自古以来藉着圣先知们的口所说的,
拯救我们脱离敌人、脱离一切恨我们之人的手,
向我们的祖先施怜悯,
 不忘他神圣的约,
就是向我们的先祖亚伯拉罕所起的誓,
使我们从敌人的手中被救出,
在我们所有的日子里无所惧怕,
 以圣洁和公义事奉他;
而你——孩子啊!
 你将被称为至高者的先知,
 因为你将走在主的前面,
 预备他的路,
藉着罪得赦免,
 赐给他的子民救恩的知识.
因着我们神怜悯的心肠,
 黎明的曙光将从高天临到我们,
照亮那些坐在黑暗
 和死亡阴影中的人,
 引导我们的脚步进入平安之路. ”

Does one have to puff puff in order to paint?  Or is tea an acceptable substitute?


No, they are based on the kind of clay.


Kinda want one of my own now. It even has four different shrinkage rates you can view.


I feel like it’s a common sentiment here despite not being a common conversation topic.


Oh yeah 💪 I hit my #bowlgoal

The secret really was to start with more clay!

BUT I learned that centering six pounds of clay is ✨really hard!✨ Even when it is brand new, right out of the bag with perfect hydration, etc.

As the old joke goes, how do you end up with a million dollars?  Start with two million… I lost probably 1/3-1/2 the clay to centering issues.

But I do have my bowl 😁 and now I know to try three or four pounds next time.

Also, meet the shrink ruler, a cool tool that measures how big your piece WILL BE after it shrinks in firing.

I literally just finished a conversation about how hard it is to be patient when you feel you don’t have a lot of time left in life.

Wasted time can be objective, but it can also be a matter of perspective.   Rest, patience with your own limitations, enjoying an everyday experience, respect for natural pacing, and patience with others can seem to some like wasted time. Besides being important, they can actually be some of the periods where life flourishes most.

Cutting down on actual wastes of time is important. A time inventory can be helpful to make you aware of what you’re really doing and how long it really takes.

I’m guiltier than many of actually wasting time, but I try to be aware of it and change for the better.

None of us have all that much time to live, but we can make the most of it with presence, patience, and intentionality.

I figure first it will get less and less sweet, then it will go sour?  That would be my guess.


Sounds like mostly a symbiosis of molds and yeasts with some bacteria as well.

Thanks!  I’ve had some funky flavored ciders in my day, and they were selling them… it’s not just a wild yeast thing?


I will give the benefit of the doubt that they followed me by mistake 😁


My rice wine was about to overflow, so I pipetted some off and had a sample!

It is INCREDIBLY SWEET 🥵 too sweet to drink.
It also has a funky flavor I wish it didn’t have. But it also has a nice fruity flavor.
It reminds me of some of my less favorite makgeolli (I like makgeolli but some is better than others… unfortunately the tastier ones have artificial sweeteners I don’t want to drink anymore 😅.)

Wine makers:  I imagine it will become drier the longer I let it ferment, yes?
Will a longer ferment also make funky flavors go away?

Well, I’m making this hoping to make my own nigori sake-ish drink. The yeast ball kind of smells like that; smells very good. I imagine it will taste like the yeast ball smells. But as this is my first time making it and I don’t think it’s done yet, I’m not sure.
People say the jiuniang (rice left over after) is tasty and sweet, too.


I’ve followed some newbies with only a few posts if they were particularly interesting and satisfied my baseline criteria for following.

I don’t mind so much if people post infrequently. It’s a nice surprise when they do show up. I care more about what they say and do when they are here.


7 years ago, a friend and I were in the Chilean Andes, we hiked up a steep hillside to check out some local biking trails. At the top, he casually said, "I think I'll fly down." I was confused until he pulled out an ultralight paraglider from his backpack.
https://i.nostr.build/rd5UeWicGBrzgzaB.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/jgJWCggT6zmyCutw.jpg

I watched in amazement as he ran off the hillside and smoothly flew down to the valley floor. The next day, I sold my bike, bought my first glider, and adopted flying as a new sport for exploring the mountains.

My two close friends and I bought wings together and took classes at a local paragliding school. The first steps off the cliff into the breeze is a surreal weightless feeling.
https://v.nostr.build/3Z9cDjoubDdeWlYq.mp4

Our learning process wasn't without incidents and some very close calls prompted us to dedicate more effort to learning techniques, meteorology, and flying more often in easier conditions. I wanted to be safer through knowledge and experience. Risk to reward ratio became a major driver behind all flying missions.
https://v.nostr.build/JcXJXPZFozz3Y1k3.mp4

Mountains vary a ton in weather and conditions so paragliders come in various sizes to accommodate different styles of flying.  We quickly learned it was good to have a quiver to enjoy different weather conditions.

I started carrying a wing in my car trunk wherever I went, flying at official sites (where I could find them) and plenty of unofficial ones too. One of the coolest things about paragliding is hiking up a mountain and flying back down to your car.

There is something beautiful about traveling with a small extra backpack that lets you fly around and see new locations from above. It's a call to hit the road and go exploring with any free time.

If you're interested in paragliding, here are some tips to hopefully help you avoid mistakes I made:
•  Take lessons
•  Buy a wing matching your experience level
•  Fly with better pilots who can advise you
•  Always fly with a GPS beacon
•  Always carry a parachute & first aid kit with tourniquet
•  Fly in late afternoons for dampened, easier conditions
- Know that is is totally ok to pack your wing up and walk away from a flight aka take your ego out of it.

Paragliding is an incredible sport/hobby that offers unique perspectives and pairs well with hiking and skiing in large mountains or beach life. Keep present that safety and proper training are crucial to enjoying your time in the air. Happy flying!

Honey from when the bees mostly feed on sunflower.
As opposed to wildflower honey, orange blossom honey, clover honey, Tupelo honey, etc.

I think sunflower honey has a buttery flavor. It’s really nice!

I’m pretty sure the process for fruit wines is different. Though I did buy some lovely plums that turned out to be boring flavored and was very tempted to experiment with putting them in one of the jars 😂 that would’ve been too much experiment for a beginner, though, I think.

I cooked up roughly 3.5 c of sticky rice / glutinous rice (one recipe said 3 c, the other said 4 c). I took one jiuqu (yeast ball for rice wine) and crushed it in a mortar and pestle, then used clean hands to mix this wwith the rice once it had cooled down. Stuck it in jars and used fermentation lids, though I’ve heard of just using a cloth lid. The liquid that is forming is rice wine!
Supposed to be able to eat the boozy rice when it’s done, too, as a dessert (jiuniang).
I need to look up how long to leave this / when to stop 😅 mostly looking here

Spent a lot of quality time with the food processor today 😁

First I made cashew butter for the first time. It’s pretty good, especially with a drizzle of sunflower honey!

Then I made pesto, some of which became lunch. The basil in it is like a patchwork quilt, including my own garden’s as well as gifts from two friends and a co-volunteer in a food freedom group who had hosted an event at her farm.
I used extra nuts, including pistachios, and blanched a small amount of the basil. It came out super dark and oily; look at the incredible color on that oil 🤤

I was a unique case of homeschooling because I was homeschooled through 8th grade then went made the decision to go try high school because I was worried I might be stupid compared to other kids who I knew through sports, clubs, community, etc… My parents made it clear that it was my decision to make, so I made it.

Turns out I was not, in fact, stupid relative to the other kids… I was able to skip through math classes in high school and graduated valedictorian while being a three-sport athlete all four years. I discovered that public school is absurdly easy, because everything caters to the lowest common denominator. The focus was on time spent (in your desk, doing homework, etc) vs deliverables. Put another way, it was an “hourly” mentality instead of a “salary” mentality.

That said, I had some really great science and math teachers in high school that I am still very grateful for. They were also the type of teachers who thought administrative mandates were bullshit and just wanted to focus on teaching.

Things I liked most about being homeschooled:
- I finished all my work in 2-3 hours in the morning and spent the rest of the day outside — I was outside constantly.
- I was done when I was done. There was no “homework” because it was all at home.
- I could do my work from anywhere, or work ahead a few days bitcoin if needed. There were no arbitrary constraints.
- It taught me to work on deliverables.
- I read a shitload.
- I was never uncomfortable around “adults.” They were just bigger people to me. I showed everyone respect, but I was perfectly comfortable and happy hanging out with adults even as the only kid (plus my sister).
- I got to do a bunch of random shit because I my schoolwork itself took very little time.

On the subject of random shit, one of my favorite memories is when my mom set me up with a legit blacksmith to apprentice for a day. He’s the first person who taught me about Fibonacci. Seriously brilliant and badass dude. Made a huge impression on me and I will never forget it.

I also just played in the woods constantly. Started fires, built forts, used knives and axes and guns from a young age.

In terms of things I disliked, the only real thing was the worry that I was not going to be as smart as my peers at public school. Benchmarking was hard. It’s the whole reason I decided to go to high school, only to find out that a lot of people are complete morons, with zero initiative, drive, or grit.

I also spend a day a week at a Montessori school for a year or two. That was neat. Zero “schoolwork” was done. We just built shit and cooked shit and played outside.

My parents also helped found a small charter school (about 10 kids). We would get together once a week and had a couple tutors who came in. I had an awesome Mennonite algebra tutor named Edith. We got on swell.

Anyway, highly recommend homeschooling, and will be doing it with our kid(s). There are infinitely more online resources available now than there were when my parents did it.

Today at the studio, I finally started something I’ve been thinking about for a while — blue jeans mugs!

Or… ARE they mugs?  I haven’t attached handles yet. They could become mugs with handles, tumblers / mugs without handles, or planters at this point. (I’ll also be adding some other details like belt loops and buttons.)

What do you think?  Handle or no handle?  Without a handle, would you use this as a mug, or as a planter?

I made pawpaw curry!  Unfortunately, you can’t taste the pawpaws.

It’s still a delicious Thai-style curry with eggplant, green beans, and chicken thighs!

The Bible study just had its second meeting!  We meet on Cornychat on Tuesdays at 8:30 pm EST. I have been posting a link to the Cornychat room when it is live. Check # nostrbiblestudy for updates.

Simplex:  it’s an app!  After you get it you can dm me your simplex address and I’ll add you to the group


Damus has “mute temporarily” already.
Something I think would be great but we’ll probably have to wait for AI to get good:  topic-selective muting.
Then, if you like notes on subject A from a person but can’t stand it when they talk about B, your feed can reflect it.


Point


People may already think that if they are unfollowed 🤷🏻♀ this is already a problem


I agree, it would be nice to have more nuance and variety here.


Why so?  Follow and mute lists are already public.


If you’ve participated in the #nostrbiblestudy and have Simplex, there is now a Simplex chat for the group!  DM me if you wish to join.

Anyone ever made jiuniang and rice wine from a yeast ball / jiuqu?

This is my second attempt. You haven’t heard about the first attempt because it was very disappointing 😂

This time I’m using glutinous rice instead of normal rice. Recipes vary on how much dry rice to cook per ball, so I’m kinda between two recipes. It feels like one ball is so little for this much rice.

🤞 hoping for the best… any tips are appreciated

If you're going to take the low road, realize that it's an off-ramp from the discussion.


Yeah it’s weird. I shouldn’t have been able to see it


Thank you 😊 yeah reply guy makes it hard to notice everything. I’m sure I’m missing things here and there.

Tuesdays at 8:30 pm New York time on Cornychat for the actual audio Bible study meeting.
I am also going to try to make a Simplex chat group for us to chat and send links, etc. outside of that time. You can dm me your simplex if interested.


I will try to remember!


Thanks for joining, everyone!  We read through Luke 1 and discussed the Abrahamic Covenant which Jesus fulfills.
I hope you’ll join us next week at the same time for Luke 2!

You’ve been doing these for a while now. How many days did it take before it stopped being difficult?


Good evening #Nostr friends ☀

I'm working on a project that focuses on how menstruation is perceived among girls and young women, and I need your help! We've created a short survey that will only take 7-10 minutes of your time. By filling it out, you'll help us better understand your views and experiences with menstruation.
📋 The survey is anonymous, and the responses will only be used to develop a project aimed at supporting youth workers.
I'd really appreciate it if you could fill it out and even better, share it with others to help reach as many people as possible. ❤
Survey link: https://forms.gle/R1shZoepYWrxMHee6

Thank you so much for your support! 💪

Most of the time, it’s believing lies.

Lies like:
- The world is ending, there’s no hope, and it’s cruel to bring a child into this.
- The world is ending and it’s the breeders’ fault; having children increases the load on natural resources unsustainably.
- Having children / getting married means your life is over, you can never do things that matter to you again.
- No responsibilities and complete spontaneity is the best way to live.
- You have to have everything all figured out before you have a child.

I think the second biggest factor is trouble finding a suitable partner.


I’ll be praying for her, too.


Awesome, thanks!

我的教堂的每周一篇经文：

尼希米记1:1-4 (CNVS)
哈迦利亚的儿子尼希米的言行录：亚达薛西王二十年基斯流月，我在书珊宫中，
我的一位兄弟哈拿尼和几个人一起从犹大来到；我询问他们关于那些从被掳逃脱的犹大余民和关于耶路撒冷的景况。
他们对我说：“那些从被掳剩下的余民，在犹大省那里遭遇大患难，受到凌辱。耶路撒冷的城墙倒塌，城门也被火烧毁。”
我听见了这些事，就坐下哭泣，悲伤了好几天，在天上的　神面前禁食祷告

I am a hot food maxi and think heat-retention in a steak plate is also very important 👍


I love enameled metalware 🥹 so portable and somehow nostalgic despite not growing up with any.

But they do lose heat quickly. Nice thick stoneware can keep your meal nice and hot!


Your glazed ceramic plate probably isn’t coated with anything weird, but since it’s a matte glaze, it’s also not the best for food surfaces.

Mattes look matte usually because they are rough surfaces on a micro scale. They can be more difficult than gloss glazes to get thoroughly clean of food particles, and can hold on to odors and stains. I used to use a matte tea mug long ago that taught me this lesson… I had chai in it a few times and then the spice smell never washed out.

I always glaze my pieces with a shiny glossy glaze on food contact surfaces. Let me know if you’d like me to make you something for your steaks sometime!


I have a fun idea for slippers I should really catch up to someday

I can talk tea if you want.
If you want to send a pic of the box, I’m curious.
Go back to the Asian market and see if they sell stuff that is like a tea ball but a little larger. Meant to hold soup ingredients. May be sturdier and or better suited to a large mug. I also use them to infuse mulled cider/wine with spices.
This spring style ball I’m talking about seems sturdier which is why I now prefer it to the normal tea ball with the latch. I’ll try to remember to snap a pic when I  am home.

Interesting 🤔


I say not pictured because I couldn’t find a suitable picture. They are also favored choices I use frequently.


What kind did you get?  Welcome to #teachain 🫖

Being a tea nerd, I have different choices for different situations.
Here are a couple favorite choices.

Not pictured:

1. A stainless steel bombilla like is used for maté when you just wanna throw leaves in your cup.

2. A stainless tea ball with a spring closure and a weighty charm on the end of the chain. By spring closure I mean there is a little spring that slides onto the “beaks” of each clamshell half, holding them together. It took getting used to but now I like this more than the normal way these are closed, with a little arc of metal binding a section of the two sides together.
The charm keeps the thing from flipping around when you add water. https://image.nostr.build/365f07e8535d6a59910745ba859b35ea96cb9cd6755c6f6807b97c9a7859e368.jpg https://image.nostr.build/d48d0ac1e9ee9c105f625426eff72dd9ec8f05527d17de3fa00952168cd93567.jpg

I never showed the finished pawpaw ice cream! 🤤

Perfect texture, fascinating flavor. Pawpaws taste tropical, fruity, and sweet, but there is strong potential for savory applications.
I may use most of my remaining pawpaws to make something like a curry dish 🤔

Look how solidly custardy it was after chilling but before churning 😁

Enjoyed this bowl with a mug of organic Jade Cloud green tea from Rishi. I enjoy this tea most times I visit Trailhead Coffee Shop in Davis, WV and finally bought some for myself.

It’s all done with plastic molds!

You can also do it with apples, pears, etc.

But you don’t have to make them special shapes. The giant markup is also for very high quality normally shaped fruit. Completely blemish free, uniform size, perfect coloring, etc.

If you want a good money maker, try growing absolutely perfect peaches. Peaches are a longevity symbol and a box of expensive perfect peaches is a good gift for one’s parents.


Very expensive fruit including square watermelons is an Asian thing; it’s usually bought as a gift. With the large Asian population in Vancouver and holiday coming up, I’m not surprised!

Ooh well I’ll have to make one soon then 😁

I do joke from time to time that I’m ✨addicted to Crystal✨ 😂


I did it!  I finally got around to stuffing this little travel pillow!

I crocheted it out of 100% silk sari scrap yarn. The red side is very soft.

Couldn’t find a round pillow form of the right size, so I got a knee high pantyhose and stuffed it with fluffed cotton balls until it was the right shape and size, then tied off the top. Worked perfectly. I’m definitely going to do things that way when I do other stuffed projects.

Car naps will now be comfier and prettier 😂

I have worked on it together with the Nestr "decentralized GitHub" team. Nestr frontend and Iris are built from the same codebase using build configuration options for different branding and features. You can easily extend the configuration to make your own branded version. Source code to be released soon™.

The client is based on NDK. Full SocialGraph up to 2nd degree is downloaded on first login, and thereon only missing follow lists are queried. I'll be experimenting with options to go beyond 2nd degree.

The graph is serialized and saved locally in a compressed format, which is much faster to load than it is to reconstruct the graph from Nostr events. My graph consisting of 260 follow lists and 23000 users is 3 MB on disk.

It's still very much work-in-progress and mostly tested on desktop Brave, but it's already my favorite way to browse Nostr.


ReplyGuy spam sucks, however it's allowing for the emergence of a stronger and more robust Nostr. If we have a wide open communication protocol, that means that anyone and everyone can participate if they choose to do so. ReplyGuy is nothing. Trust me. It's so insignificant compared to what's coming in the future. ReplyGuy is a wake-up call to developers, but also to users too. None of us should be complacent when we need to be vigilant with our social communication. This is a mere scrimmage for what's coming down the road. Use this time to build solutions. Use this practice game to fine tune your relays.

You can choose paid relays or choose smaller community relays, such as those built on WoT or other metrics.

We have a lot of choices for paid relays. Maybe you'll use nostr:nprofile1qqsrmpp2lmx4u2fl9zmxy7fnwp9rlwxwz5a2j8tep2c376n494z2gtgpzamhxue69uhkxun9v968ytnwdaehgu3wwa5kuegprpmhxue69uhhwetvvdhk6efwdehhxarj9emkjmn9qyt8wumn8ghj76twvfhhstnwdaehgu3wwa5kueg6jsgtg's wss://nostr.wine or nostr:nprofile1qqs99d9qw67th0wr5xh05de4s9k0wjvnkxudkgptq8yg83vtulad30gpzpmhxue69uhkummnw3ezumrpdejqz9rhwden5te0wfjkccte9ejxzmt4wvhxjmcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujumn0wdmksetjv5hxxmmd8wgv5w's wss://nostr.land as your paid relays.

What are WoT relays? These are a semi-new concept. They can be invite only or they can be constructed via a person's personal Web-of-Trust follow list.

For example: You use use wss://pyramid.fiatjaf.com by nostr:nprofile1qqsrhuxx8l9ex335q7he0f09aej04zpazpl0ne2cgukyawd24mayt8gprfmhxue69uhhq7tjv9kkjepwve5kzar2v9nzucm0d5hszxmhwden5te0wfjkccte9emk2um5v4exucn5vvhxxmmd9us2xuyp if you are invited by an existing user.  Additionally, you can use wss://wot.utxo.one or wss://nostrelites.org if you're in the Web-of-Trust of either nostr:nprofile1qqsw9n8heusyq0el9f99tveg7r0rhcu9tznatuekxt764m78ymqu36cpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuat50phjummwv5hszymhwden5te0wahhgtn4w3ux7tn0dejj7znxpeu or myself. (Meaning one of us follows you or one of the people we follow follows you, going one layer deep in our social connection.)

More WoT relays will pop-up or already do exist.

As the outbox model grows and gains popularity, smaller community relays will become the normal way that people use Nostr the most, IMO.

If you're a relay operator that's combatting spam, feel free to shill it down below in the comments.


I’m thinking of it like Nostr has a cold. The immune system devs are probably going to think up a solution at some point and the problem will subside. Until the next one…

Amethyst does allow deletes, but as I understand it, it’s still up to relays to accept delete requests.


I’m just thinking that I’ve noticed Primal has a backlog sometimes. I’ll open it up and it’s only stuff from hours ago. It sometimes doesn’t update for a whole day.

Oh yeah he moves around. He shows up in three different places. The last one is where he stays the rest of the game.


Getting them is a pretty fun part of the game 😁 it was clever of the designers to incentivize exploration.
But what happened?  You could have had so many more inventory spaces!  Why not spend them?


You may want to plan a trip to the southeastern U.S./Canada for when these are in season!  You’re unlikely to be able to try them otherwise, as they don’t keep or ship well.
I think some states have a pawpaw festival which would probably be a good bet!


Like a tropical explosion 😂
Cherimoya x banana with occasional cherry, vanilla, or savory notes.
This is probably the sweetest food my baby has ever tried; she only had a banana for the first time last week. She clearly LOVES pawpaw.


Something like this could be a really good tool for someone like me who vets everyone before following 😂


Some people say they have a mango flavor note, but I think it’s overwhelmingly like a combination of banana and cherimoya or soursop. There’s a lot of variety, too. One of these is a little savory and has a cherry note, and the other is maybe a little vanilla-like.


It’s the fruit of a tree native to my area that tastes very tropical and delicious. Because they don’t keep or travel well, you have to find them yourself or know someone who has them; they’re not commercially available.
They’re related to soursop and cherimoya if you know what those are.

I make no apologies for repeating this message 🐝
If you see a bee of any description on the floor or not flying other than on a flowering plant, it is STARVING! You can help.
We are currently well into the 'June Gap' - the time between when the Spring flowering plants stop and the Autumn flowers start producing pollen and nectar.
You can help by mixing two parts sugar to one part water and offering the syrup to the bee. She (and they are mostly ladies) will happily drink from a teaspoon. You'll see her little black tongue as she drinks. It will take about 10 minutes for her to convert the syrup to energy, but she will fly away if you've helped her in time. The feeling you get on seeing her recovery and flight is well worth your time.
PLEASE NOTE - This is a temporary measure and 'First Aid' only. The Bees need diversity in their diet and need to pollinate plants in their search for food. I'm not suggesting we feed sugar to Bees as a regular thing.
NO HONEY PLEASE - Disease can be spread easily from colony to colony through this practice and you will do more damage than good. White sugar and water only please x
They can't thank you, so I will on their behalf.

I WAS just going to eat the six ones fresh. But now I have enough for fresh eating… and ice cream!
Time to inaugurate my ice cream maker!  The last time I made any was years ago, borrowing my friend’s machine.

I probably will still have some left over after that 😅 I hear the pulp freezes well, so maybe that. Or I could try making a pawpaw “pudding” recipe my friend made which is more of an eggy cake. Not my fav texture or appearance but the flavor really did shine through and it was very nice.

Checking out wofati design. It’s interesting.

Does anyone know much about his claims of how expensive straw bale and cob homes are?  I had thought part of the appeal was cheaper than usual materials. Unless you’re doing timber frame, of course….

Designing shelters is a nesting measure. Makes perfect sense to me!

My mom always says: you can’t reason people out of something they didn’t reason themselves into.

In other words: Conclusions reached through emotion are typically unbreakable.


Love is like fire, which can be spread without diminishing.

Haha as I type this I’m on the way to a meeting of a grassroots food freedom group, making me realize I didn’t even mention another big complex of interests, libertarianism/anarchy/building parallel systems


It might be faster to list what I’m not interested in 😅
But top interests are Christianity, nature (as a very broad term incl. the sciences, foraging, cooking, herbal medicine, and permaculture), anthropology/folklore, fiction and writing (especially hard sci-fi), music and composition, art (I do pottery and crochet), and my family (husband nostr:npub1jrx2fk666k5nt8vgak9xwyxlgcwh8fl9rvpwvvcpdthuqkcnptrqdfhtaq and our baby, and stuff surrounding pregnancy/breastfeeding and homeschooling that supports future plans)

Oh yeah, been meaning to try that for reposts. I know it schedules posts, didn’t really think about it but I guess it is a write-only client…


Noticing the reply guy bots tell you what relays they’re on.
Disconnecting from those relays should in theory fix the problem.
Just sayin’

I do have issues disconnecting from relays sometimes, so YMMV

#nostrtips


I started today with a goal of only posting and not looking at anyone else’s notes or replies.

Truly massive fail 😂 habits die hard

Anyone working on that write-only client idea?


Have a feeling I’m gonna need one of these someday…

This is so cool!


There are a few particularly good ways to get to know God, and its best if all are done together:

- Read about what God has done and said (read the Bible)
- Talk with others who know Him about what He’s doing and saying (become involved in a church, probably also in a “small group,” where you can do this)
- Tell Him you want to get to know Him, and spend some time each day speaking to Him and open to hearing from Him (pray)

A bunch of us are about to start a Bible study Tuesdays at 8:30 pm EST and you are welcome to join. The first one will be Sept 10.


thank you so much!  :-)

Deep breath. Even though we homeschool year round, my cultural default is to reset (mentally at least) in September.

This is my 22nd year homeschooling 😱

It has never been just "plug and play". Circumstances change, and not every child is going to thrive on whatever you did with the last one. Every person is unique and has their own interests, abilities, talents, and work ethic--and that includes our children.

My advice (not that you asked):

* Enjoy your kids and work to maintain a good relationship with them. That doesn't mean being their friend and not their parent; it means not purposefully driving them nuts.
* Let them have a childhood. They don't need more screen time, they need more outside and boredom time.
* Your kids are never too old to be read to.
* Academics is not the be-all end-all of a life well lived. Make sure to balance physical exercise, creative pursuits, animal husbandry, cooking, and all sorts of real life skills.

If you'd like more helps, consider reading my book Slow Schooling.

Happy educating!

You know what's good about the show alone? It's the people. You can't judge them from first read.

There are some with stupid sounding accents and a small vocabulary and they're absolute survival geniuses.

They can build, catch, read the weather, survive the elements and be alone with their thoughts for months.

Be careful how quickly you write someone off, you don't know what kind of genius they might be.


Weak how?
What about your life makes you trivialize the forgiveness of a holy God?


"They want to silence ME to control YOU" is an incredible way to summarize censorship.


I agree, there should be no restrictions on this book for private purchase, but it should not be included in taxpayer-funded government school libraries.

Since others are likely to agree, though, and you are seeking debate, here are some questions that might be a little tougher.

Given taxpayer-funded libraries and schools exist and aren’t going away anytime soon:

What if this same book had no pictures, but explicitly described scenes in text?

What if this same book had no pictures, but described situations in text as non-explicitly as possible?

How about this book’s presence in a taxpayer-funded library that is not in a school?  Large libraries often contain erotica as well as children’s books in different sections, and kids are able to roam anywhere.

How about this book’s presence in a privately-owned library or bookstore?  Again, bookstores often contain erotica as well as children’s books in different sections which are accessible to kids of all ages.

I was listening to a rich, US citizen say a wealth tax is beneficial because it would help stop the growth of the deficit.

I noted the assumption that politicians would not use the new revenue to borrow up to ~20x it's amount (at a ~5% interest rate), and increase spending, the deficit, and inflation. "Do you trust any politicians not to borrow against the new revenue and spend?" No answer.

The fundamental problem is not economic, it is political.

I’m not demanding anything from devs. I know they’re busy. I’m not a coder; this is the only way I can contribute: by saying, as a user, that this aspect of user experience is seriously bad.

Possibly the thing I most regret leaving behind in China:  this painting I made on an art outing with some friends.

I had thought I was coming back to China after a brief interruption and would be able to retouch a few details here and there, then take it home.  But I never went back... this is either still in an unofficially public art studio in an apartment complex somewhere in Shijiazhuang, or they threw it away...

Especially on the larger end of that scale, given y’all agreed on how it would be divided up beforehand, it could still be possible to pool your resources for the purchase price but then parcel it into a network of individual private properties immediately after. Best of both worlds?  I wonder if anyone has done this.
