 I keep getting surprised by discovering folks I’d lost track of in the Great Pseudo-Nuke where I lost about 2/3 of my follows. 
Part happy to find them again, part sad I lost them for a while and didn’t think to realize why. 
I put a lot of effort into vetting folks; for some accounts, reading all posts and replies 1-2 weeks back is a significant amount of work. Losing the results of that effort really sucks.  

All this to say, I should really go back up my profile 🤔 
 Considering I’ve already played some with listr.lol maybe that’s the way to go. 
This happened a while ago and I think it was explained to me, but my mind is usually a sieve for technical details. 
 #asknostr anyone use stainless steel baking sheets (no nonstick, no enamel or ceramic coating) that stay flat at high oven heat?  My most used temp is 375 F but I’d be more comfortable if it could go much higher without warping. 

I’m very ready for new baking sheets 😅 I use them for EVERYTHING

#cooking 
 I hear them go “bang!” after I put them in the oven and then they’re bent diagonally 😂 I suppose it could be because of the temperature difference there, too. 
 Ok! I don’t think it lives up to the hype, but it’s a pretty nice squash!  Thoroughly decent. Baby likes it, too. 
Inspired to take this sweet dark juice it threw off and make caramel with it and some milk, maybe.

 I definitely would have waited much longer if I hadn’t broken it 😢 
 Love ‘em ❤️‍🔥 highly underrated 
 Score!  I found a Candy Roaster squash at the store!

Darn!  I dropped it and the tip broke off, so it won’t keep!

Guess I will be finding out what it tastes like soon instead of procra— um, testing to see how long it keeps 🙂‍↕️

 It’s in the oven now 🔥 
 Every time I start feeling like a victim I remember the car crash analogy.

 This is the best perspective. 
 That’s what I love about cherry tomatoes 😁 
Yeah I would harvest solanums well into fall as well when I had a garden. And the cherry tomatoes naturalized in my apartment complex (which I tried growing in a container this year) are still bearing loads of fruit, as they did last year right up to frost. 
 What do other people do, when you've got more browser tabs open than you can navigate around, yet... 
 So what I do day to day: 
Brave browser has a search tabs function, at least on mobile. I make tons of use out of that. 

What I do from time to time (more seldom than I should):
Go through all my tabs, close ones I really no longer need (always surprised how many of those there are), and send the URLs of the rest to myself in Signal. 

I miss having a really good bookmarks system, but lost momentum a couple computers ago; besides, I now have three devices to coordinate across, and I like being able to use Signal’s searchable Note to Self on all of them. 
 I want to know too!  Sounds cute 
 Now inspired to make a bean blanket with different bean colors of yarn
Black bean
Kidney bean
Yellow bean
White bean
Spotted beans 
 That sounds rad ☕️ 

Ok then… it’s Bean Time 😎
Right after I finish these other WIPs 😅

 Hmm, what’s the difference between reactions and like/dislike? 
 We need a "Klingon Mingle" style dating service built on top of #nostr 👀 
 Sounds intense! 
 Really appreciate reading your thoughts on fiction writing. Every new note makes me more hyped for your novel!  It’s gonna be something special. 
 speaking of friendship, who is your nostr bestie? what friends have you made through nostr?

 I am honored 🥰💖🙏 
 How did you meet your best friends?
How did you meet the friends you spend most of your time with and enjoy being around?
Do you have any good friends you met later in life?

#friendship #asknostr 
 You mean you don’t have any friends that fit in the second category?  Or you don’t have any friends from later in life? 
 How, though?  In what kinds of situations are you meeting them? 
 Damn, that sucks. 
 Mostly why I asked is I know an older person who has not kept strong ties with their friends and is feeling really lonely now. They’re finally trying to get out of their shell, but not very satisfied with their progress, and still very lonely. I’m wondering what kinds of things to recommend they do that they aren’t already doing. 
 Mid twenties sorta counts, I guess?  Many folks meet their best friends at some point in school, so it is later than all of that. 
 I found my husband on OkC too, but got off the site in the midst of Covid; they were starting to make some odd changes at the time, but as far as I know it’s still the best one. 
There’s a lot of room for improvement, but it did work for me and @boatingaccident 
 Sophia is eleven months old today!
It was a little difficult to get her picture because she kept trying to eat the ring 😂 

She’s probably going to walk any day now, and fills her days pulling up to stand, crawling everywhere, babbling long strings of repeated syllables (dadadada, mamamama), smiling and clapping, and screaming at the highest end of human hearing capabilities. 
She also seems to have grasped a rudimentary concept of “playing a game” (I boop her nose, she boops mine) and interacting with other babies. 

What did y’all do for your baby’s first birthdays?  I need ideas!

 So exciting!!!  I hope you’ll tell us all about it 😊 
 第一次吃茭白笋!很有意思的蔬菜 / 蘑菇

生熟口感都很好,很温和。
生的味道有一点像柠檬草,熟的像小麦或者燕麦

 My baby daughter is turning 1… I’m not prepared for it to happen so soon. 🥲 The year flew ... 
 In the same boat. Mine is 11 months just today, but yesterday, she was 6 months.
It’s been the most incredible time. 
 Congratulations. I only caution (from a friend’s experience) that fresh garlic gets weird unles... 
 Oops, too late now! Haha
Idk, I’ve seen so much garlic fermented in honey, it must be ok. It looks like whole cloves to me. I recently tasted some of the infused honey and it was really good. 
 Last night during @Companions Corner I made my first attempt at hot honey!

It will probably ferment some, so I gave it lots of headspace to bubble up. 

IIRC, thanks to @Filou for telling me rough proportions by weight of honey:other stuff.

This is a pound of unheated, unsprayed Virginia dandelion honey combined with ~2.5 oz mixed garlic and shallots (I cut garlic ends off after weighing and replaced a guess at that mass with 1/8 tsp organic cumin seeds), 0.05 oz mixed mint and thyme from my friend’s garden, and 2.45 oz mixed organic shishito and serrano peppers (as non-green as I could find). 

Smells amazing 🤤

 If you would like to listen to a great Bible study podcast, though, I highly recommend BibleProject

Superlatively great show

 Damus now showing full text replies from people I’ve muted. Not in the notifications pane, but in the push notifications. 

@elsat #nostrability 
 Thank you for the clarification! 
 I’ve turned all notifications off for Damus so I can’t tell. I can run an experiment turning them back on for a while and get back to you. 
 I’ll go turn them on and report back tomorrow. 
 Though there’s no guarantee I’ll get a reply from a muted person by then 🤔 
 I have a whole in my cavas shoe.  if someone points me to a little bitcoin patch, I will adorn it. 
 And mathematicians. 
Topology sez it’s one hole. 
 Fuck globalists. 
 I think the difference is in our microbiome. A study I heard about showed that the gut microbiome of recent immigrants assimilates to that of their new country very quickly, I think it was within a couple of weeks, even if they continue to eat their own cultural foods. Their microbiomes lose a lot of species diversity so quickly. 
Conversely, you and I had the same exact experience living in China. We quickly went the other way and probably had healthier microbiomes while we were there. I always find it very easy to maintain a healthy weight while I’m there, among other benefits. 

Glyphosphate is just one of the underlying problems. It disrupts mineral uptake of plants as well as plant and human microbiomes.  For sure other industrial farming practices are involved, that’s just an easy one.

Have you ever found pistachio cream?  There’s an Italian store near me selling it. Could be divine added into the buttercream…

 Bitcoin art is too good

 I’m actually quite surprised we don’t have anyone from such places in our Nostr Bible study. 
 Just seeing this now. Tuesdays at 8:30 pm EST we meet on Cornychat. You can check out #nostrbiblestudy for updates. You’re welcome to join!

 Creativity is definitely more challenging. You weren’t wrong! 
 Would anyone like a listening party that involves an author writing a book in real time. For exam... 
 I would absolutely tune in, provided I was enjoying the story 😁 
 The fact that Bitcoin isn't yet accepted everywheree and for everything really underlines for me ... 
 The normal people I talk to don’t think about transaction time. To them, Bitcoin is either:
1. An unpredictable investment
2. A scam
3. Evil ocean-burning capitalist decadence
