Political excitement depresses me.


Expectations. We all have them. His were not met. 😂


Right?! Will happily make that pilgrimage. 😂


Well.. this is exactly what a Mutiny looks like. 😂


Easy. My purpose in life is preparing my children to thrive and to make sure they have known love so that they’re capable to passing that on to their children.


Search Robert Galbraith.


My base case is that operators will be the coordinators for small communities and their security. That’s a practical exercise you got to run there.

Now to broadcast an on chain transaction.


Sounds like you had a damn good instructor. Some harp on the licensing far too much and only teach to pass a test. The ability and skills is what it’s all about.

My wife isn’t gonna be pleased if this conversation gets me back into it. 😂


Oh geez. What have I done. So book  1 isn’t book 1 then? Yay!


Acquiring book 1.


Forfeited, sadly. Was big into it early 2000s, region 4. When it’s truly needed.. licensing won’t matter. 😜


Now to attend some meets. These are the folks you wanna know when shit breaks bad.


2 of the 3 make a mean breakfast. Savings.. not so much.


Lack of communication usually makes things better, you know..

“Flipped” the safety on a Glock you say..  🤔


It’s not worth thinking about until someone mentions it twice? 😂


This is what I’m teaching mine. The art of opting out.


Absolutely! A healthy amount of skepticism and spinal fortitude to resist norms goes along way too.


I’m not guessing. Speaking from first hand experience. This is what I walked away from.

Future PR concerns are an issue, for sure but not that this point in the process. The main objective is to find candidates willing to comply with proving information (more eager the better). And then, and only after compliance, thinning the candidate pool by evaluating past ethics (criminal history/past employment references), then experience, and lastly personality (interview).


You’re provided days to provide all request information. The interview doesn’t come until after compliance.


Employers are looking for compliance during this process, obviously. Not just the information being asked for. A compliant employee is better than a non-compliant employee from their perspective.


Show me sand the floor.


Works for getting kids to do chores.. “who can get done first?! Ready, set, go!”😂


And there’s the kicker. Non-disclosure upon request is grounds to disqualify a candidate. Discovered accounts that are not disclosed is also grounds for disqualification during hiring process and if hired prior to discovery, termination based on “integrity” concerns due to failure to disclose.


Just from a being sick of advertisement stance alone.


My thoughts exactly. Just waiting for that pendulum to swing back towards sanity already.


Already an issue for employment contracts. Undisclosed social media  accounts being terms for dismissal.


Good looking tree. A little early.. but..  a good looking tree.


Too busy picking what’s for dinner.

I just press the little zap button. 🤷🏼♂


There’s hungry and then there’s just finished stacking another month of firewood hungry.


Baader-Meinhof at work. I suffer the same plight.


Food has always been at the center of how my family has interacted. We are one of those families that still sits together for every meal. I don’t exaggerate when I say “every”

Food was the love language I was raised to speak and I speak it well. I can fully sympathize with the sugar/card addiction.

Coffee too falls into this “how we interact” trap. It’s the anchor for so many morning and post dinner conversations.

I try to moderate but wouldn’t say I battle whole heartedly or even have much of a desire to.


Had the same experience.

I support this modification.


If you would infringe on another’s life, liberty, or property.. we are not the same. We are not allies. You can go fuck yourself. It matters not what your personal, political or religious ideals are. Differences in these areas are not justification.

I’ll make it simpler.

Personal differences do not justify the taking of another’s life, their freedom, or their property.

Political differences do not justify the taking of another’s life, their freedom, or their property.

Religious differences do not justify the taking of another’s life, their freedom, or their property.

For me.. it’s that simple.

Only the violation of this is justification. And even then.. only in equal measure. You forfeit what you infringe upon.

This is where I stand and how I measure the actions of others.


Sometimes.. I have uninformed opinions, so.. I keep them to myself. By the time I’ve informed myself.. never a regret.


Poke weed salads are a thing too.


Just finished up Guns, Germs, and Steel. Moving on to Collapse next.  Both are Jared Diamond (historian) books.

Autumn Leaves, N. H., Eliot Porter, 1956

https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/111/348/507/763/208/614/original/97e70affaf389a4d.jpeg


I think inertia is leading us toward a quantified state, in which the costs of tracking and categorizing objects — primarily people, phones, cars, and money — as they move from place to place becomes so low that most institutions are doing it by reflex, without either considering or caring for consequences. Eventually, somebody is going to exploit the gap in information (between what is available to ordinary people, and what is available  to organizations) in a way that causes enormous, historic harm, as happened in WWII when a particular state realized that IBM had compiled a database that was perfect for populating a list of names of those who would soon be marched off to camps. And that was just census data. Now they know what you read, where you go, who you're with, and how you'll vote.

The unfortunate reality of contemporary political thought is that consequences do not exist until they are felt. Rare is the chicken that fears the farmer. That means we've got two options: we either wait for the pain, or we stop waiting for political consensus.

My favorite part, “ and by the way, build to your heart’s content. as mentioned above, I don’t particularly care, and I think most people are the same. just don’t demand I like whatever bad idea you are working on. the problem is not “the builders” of reformist lore, it is their financial exploiters, of whom this is all downstream … “


Where I can bend, I do. Where I can’t, I don’t. I accept this for myself and for others as well. We each have our own narrow understanding of what we consider to be reality.

Everyone is isolated in their experiences. No two the same making no two views/understandings identical. An open mind is the only way to escape the isolation of our experiences.

Empathy and humility required.

Mind jumped to a blue and white marble top. Fun perspective.


No worries, I have time. Fairly certain there’s a simple misunderstanding or we disagree on something fundamental. The fundamental disagreement seems unlikely.

I’ll try again.. the folks standing in the line you mentioned.. they’ve yet to realize there’s another way. They lack the information needed to “opt out” hell, they don’t even know there’s even an opting out option. When they become aware of an alternative, then they can choose to educate themselves on that alternative. Once educated, when the work has been put in (much as you did, I’m sure. I know I had to) then they can opt out.

Until then, they’ll continue standing in line unable to opt out.


That’s the work part.. until they put it in, they can’t. Should, sure. But haven’t. So.. they stand in line. They accept the stays quo. As a bitcoiner, this a surely how it should be understood. What am I missing? How is this incorrect?


Those in line can’t opt out. Can’t act on knowledge you don’t have.


I have a gnome or two in the gardens and a bronze lady liberty on a book shelf.


No.. they can’t. It’s another of those proof of work things. The work hasn’t been put in yet. The line is the proof.

Taking solace from or finding virtue in being a victim is a sure path to lifelong misery. This is also a choice. The best choice though.. roll with what life throws at you and find a way to be happy. Adapt and thrive.


Hard not to once you do.


Just from a security standpoint.. yes and also just weird, so yes and yes.


Once we hit block 808,808, we are 80,080 blocks from block 888,888. Lots of 8s.


Bitcoin symbol scarf thing.. but no legs. 😂


Indeed you do. Loads of black walnut, pecan, and persimmon growing among the white oaks.


This will have to do..

Open spaces is where I’m most at ease. No grand views required.. just space. https://image.nostr.build/895d4048b7651788755c546fdee7f52435737d9d2abaaeaeb61e5661b9cad525.jpg


There are people who create and build and people who can only destroy. The latter think they are winning only because their task requires less thought and labor. Ironically.. they too are creators, building their own demise.


Life you may evade, but death you shall not.


Carrots, sweet potato, and butternut squash. https://image.nostr.build/9e0bc98d764b22565ae3167d3f5074d2894634f861dc3427616f9bd07b40aa14.jpg


It’s only envy, a sickness of the mind, that causes disdain of simple things and greatly overvalues extravagance.

Pleasure is all in the heart, a matter of delight rather than dollars.


And without humans to do all the heavy lifting.. damn.


19 days to hatch, 7 weeks to mature (egg laying), 8 weeks to harvest for meat. Quail are a self reliance cheat code.


Sand, waves, and sun.. it was nice and all, but I feel more at home around my trees, fields, and sun.


TWSS


It was in front of us the whole time.. all the CFA titles. Central Fraud Agents.


This one is a beaut. nostr:note1e77j9w9crprkpcp9n0rrh3ry60h4phng09t3a2f53rcqz79cncmqu8fqxh


Nope.. wasn’t that. 😂 nostr:note18vjsa5n0a2ndzve584yylsqzg77avq8ppyq2wx8lc2w0te6zxthsjrllnz


Requires zero shills. Paella is that good.


Tell people it’s not for them.. then they’ll definitely be interested. 😜


Paella


Definitely saved a farm.


Normalized or no.. this is the way. nostr:note1xnt8amuk454yqw23e54geksz2f8yu2lu9uqwk9943qxltvxe3q7sz3gfuc


Yes. nostr:note1mrfmn5zzjxg2xhrlskywylkjgqlg2vyruhuh67af6cqmy5r3xyhsgrqsh8


No worries. The coffee isn’t even cold yet. ☕


I get stuck behind a lens when I’m supposed to be relaxing.. dunno why. Always do. 🤷🏼♂ https://image.nostr.build/f9a8dca6049c3c205a988a50cd356aadc9507ed35882af3d38a300305b9aee42.jpg


Morning, All. ☕ https://image.nostr.build/56226317e74138817cc5c5aa2855c691b6588c92379b361dead27922052c6400.jpg

Morning, All. ☕

Not the only one waking up apparently. 🫡

My beach trip managed to dodge this one. 😅 https://image.nostr.build/7f6c17220aea1025c6028ee79bde2197a58500ff40c840f2254f2758e9dd6c60.jpg


Their 10” breaker is my go to.


As long as it’s not interpreted as snarling.. you’re fine. 😬


Yup. There it is.. and never cannot be now.


You’re invited.


Evening plans sorted. https://image.nostr.build/ae4fa395785cb52652bffa18972b46b8d1829797499770a12612d24710b4945c.jpg


Ditch the cities. Deep freezers and walkable fields are where it’s at.


And the story only ever gets better and more cooler.


Not a terrible evening under a not uninteresting sky. https://image.nostr.build/e639e3b6445ffa717432a332430f2d24f8b2cc85e543a6793cf11c0455fbad31.jpg https://image.nostr.build/07d9e324f28d73ea009262906dd35edda03391a30c10faf361fab4014b30e367.jpg

Imagine what your dog thinks.. completely oblivious to the mass exchange of information taking place from staring at a thing.

Makes you wonder what mass exchange of information we are oblivious to..


Morning, All. ☕

Some days my allergies completely kick my ass. Today is one of those days. 🫤


“Even a brief civil war would likely require the United States to stand down operationally from many of its military obligations around the world. That would invite bold initiatives by America’s adversaries to extort or invade US allies and dependents … An American civil war, accompanied by a sudden implosion of global US power, might usher in such ghastly scenarios as a multi-sided world war in which America itself is not a major participant.” - The Fourth Turning is Here

This, to me, more than any other scenario, seems the likely crisis we face in the next 10 years. All brought on by the impending (I believe unavoidable) financial crash. The result of “the debt can” being unable to be kicked any further down the road.

This is why I farm. This is why I run #bitcoin This is why I’m on #nostr


Never try.. never know.


Morning, All. ☕

Complacency allows for the cage to be built around you. Compliance allows the door to be shut and locked. Vigilance is the price of freedom. Disobedience is the means in which you keep it.


The cult needs its sermons.


“Just little theft please” 😂


Before or after government theft?


At this point..  there’s so much I “should” care about that I care about so little because of it.


Damn. Can’t win em all. Dark.


That got weird. 😂


Stab him Zach! 😂


I’ve always really liked Arrietty.


“Holy fucking mess”


That’s a decent set of steps.


I’ve always seen a kite. 🤷🏼♂


You GZY! 🤙🏻


Nice to see you Gigi. 🤙🏻


Hi. 👋🏻


5 and 7. Spacing between “rt” needs a tweak.


I’m reading a book where a young mycologist was just killed. Timings are weird sometimes.


You know good peoples. 🤙🏻


Damn those key words. 😂


With a single tap.


Current build for me. For some.. not sure they’ve sorted the “where’d my zaps go?!”


That TestFlight expiration really proving problematic.


<because


The waking up is the hardest part.


Obviously.


Thieves are the worst.


Cash in cars is given away.


I’ve even seen them plant themselves..


Fries dammit. Freakin french fries. And now I want some.. thanks.


Morning. ☕


Working great for the receiver. 😂


Shocked to see that about a third of the folks I was following have been inactive for over a month. Time for some fresh voices.


Sats grow on fields. https://image.nostr.build/1e317a870b46b7b5f96bc3fbf149ef89c8eb5cf542d2ffb1987bc20a8161d2d8.jpg


I also watched those close to me being controlled by their emotions and followed the example in my younger years. At some point I stumbled over the realization that I had a choice (definitely wasn’t taught) in how I responded regardless of what emotions I felt. Even realized that anger is powerless when confronted with indifference, kindness, and humor.


If both “sides” are dishonest actors.. engaging with either is a waste of time. Energy, attention, and time are best spent doing your own thing right down the middle where the polarized are blind to.


I was thinking the exact same. 😂


Nostr is the permissionless town square.


Opting out, for me, is the only play.


Please.


Morning, All. ☕

Work to do in the fields today. Always makes for a good day. 🌤


Facts.


Family group chats.. That’s a scary thing.


Clearly the group chats are riveting. 😂


Oops. Living up to and making up the rules as you go is hard. 😂


Bring back the intermission and maybe.. maybe.. movies might be worth the ticket price. Until then.. the value isn’t there.

Movies used to be an event. Now they’re 99.99% money grabbing garbage.

#filmstr


My dad had a one nice wake up call rule. The second was a glass of water. It was effective.


Found similar with US vs foreign libraries (specifically New Zealand) concerning the availability of books. Try to find books pertaining to bitcoin in US based public libraries.. slim to none. Same search using a NZ based library yielded significantly more.

Just an interesting observation concerning information availability that I observed.


Give no damns that it’s Easter specifically but rather that it raises a concern for all search results.

That said, it’s not as though there was tremendous faith in these information services to being with.


It’s the wet splattering sound that really does it. 😂


I got you. 👍🏻


Confirmation? 😂

No such thing as a bad time to read The Mandible.
