No. You assumed all that. I read “death blow to mainstream media” and said good.

“Perhaps the biggest disappointment in my country right now is how often folks ask "is it legal?" I don't know whether to be angry at the regulation bureaucracy, the society that clamored for that bureaucracy--oh, right, it's called oversight-- or the cowed people who think we need to ask permission to pee.

What happened to our rugged individualism? What happened to freedom, to independent agency? To civil disobedience, courage, and proceeding with what is right and noble regardless of its being blessed by the powers that be?

The thing to remember is that government regulators are not agents of "yes;" they are agents of "no." In my years of dealing
with them, the one thing that seems consistent is that "no" is the default position.”

THE PROBLEM WITH VOTING

Or, How to cede your power in one easy step

----
There is tremendous energy wasted on electoral politics. At best it is a distraction, at worst it serves to suffocate any alternative.

To clarify, this isn’t an attack on voting per se, it’s an attack on what large scale political elections in the United States have become.

We are beaten over the head our entire life with the notion that change begins at the ballot box. That’s false. The reality of change is that it’s uncomfortable. Voting will never yield substantive change because it is designed to prohibit the very discomfort which is a necessary prerequisite to substantive change.

In the civil rights movement blacks that sat at segregated lunch counters did not wait for an election to create change — and that’s exactly why they were successful. When we look back, we think of those sit-ins as righteous and assume they were popular. They weren’t. Forcing change never will be.

Lunch counter sit-ins were effective because they disrupted business as usual and forced people to look at what many would have preferred to avoid. Change happens when the discomfort of its success is less than the discomfort of the present. That means that the push to create a better future will almost always be unpopular in the present. The great tragedy of voting is that it tricks us into believing we can have progress and comfort.

‘Voting is the most important thing you can do,’ they say. Another lie.

That attitude encourages us to neglect our real power, which is our everyday life. When we are told that voting is most important, by default that means all else is less so. It sends an unconscious message that we can neglect other avenues of change and minimizes their appeal.

Voting takes away the burden of responsibility. You did your part, it tells you, you voted for someone to make decisions on your behalf. It allows us to see injustice in the world and think it’s not our role to change it; or worse it allows us to become blind to it completely.

We have arrived at the present because of voting. If we want to stay on this path, then voting will keep us here. If we want to make a substantive divergence, then voting will never take us there. When you vote you are doing so twice, once for the candidate on your ballot and again for the system that placed them there.

We tend to think of elections in negative terms. We vote against people and causes as much as we vote for them. We are always trying to avoid pain and bad consequences. But it cannot just be about slowing the bad, it has to be about speeding the good.

Our power is not which politician you vote for, it’s what you do every day. It’s how you treat people, it’s where you spend your money, it’s what you do for work, it’s what you eat; it’s who you are.

The root of the problem is the concentration of power. Voting for president represents an entrenchment of that imbalance. The system encourages behavior that makes it more likely for certain traits to emerge. For example, the candidate that raises the most money is overwhelmingly likely to win and the candidate with the most money most often is the one that large monied interests prefer. At each rung up the ladder of political power these systemic biases that favor certain behaviors over others become stronger. Still, there are always exceptions and it is possible to elect a candidate that doesn’t fit this broad mold, but once in office they would be an island and have to choose between acquiescing to the dominant system in which they exist or being ineffective.

Voting isn’t necessarily bad. We can delegate others to take charge in areas they understand better than us. We should listen to expert advice. In the ideal, the experts would inform rather than dictate and we would be capable of using that information to make our best individual choices. This would require critical thinking skills, the ability to recognize our own shortfalls where we most need to default to experts and empathy for others to avoid a tragedy of the commons.

In our current state we are not capable of this — but strengthening the status quo by voting makes us even less so. Political parties act as tribes which make us less able to recognize our shortfalls, less open to admit mistakes and has tarnished the neutrality of experts. It also makes us less capable of critical thought as we don’t use that muscle much in a system which tells us to let others decide on our behalf.

Power will always exist, but it doesn’t have to be so concentrated. Our present system is top-down, it could be bottom-up.

This is an ideal and one that won’t come tomorrow. But the longer we hold onto the notion that a better world will ever come from the ballot box the farther away that future becomes. The goal isn’t to burn down this system, it’s to make it irrelevant.

Morning brother. ☕


What a typo though. 😂


visited a grocery store last week and it was too much. 😂


My condolences on the multi-day amusement park visit.


“I’ve already been up for 2 hours and I’ve only had 3 cups of coffee. That’s less than a cup an hour!”

Babe.. you need more coffee?


Brilliant! 😂


No problem. Good luck with it.


So many. Agreed.

Life Expectancy by Koontz was a good one. Bad Weather Friend too.


I once demolished a screen door in this fashion. Damn thing was like an invisible force field that wasn’t face proof.


That’s dangerous regardless of the venue. We all know those folks. 😂


I just laugh at myself and assume everyone gets it. Never anything spectacularly meme making yet.


Go with a plain jane to start. Depending on how good your honey is (whatever the bees got into), might even be all you want.

One Gallon of Mead

3lbs Honey
2g yeast
2oz chopped raisin
8oz black tea

Heat water to 100° F, dissolve honey, toss in your raisins and tea (raisins as a yeast nutrient, tea for tannins. Both add a little flavor).

Cool to 70° F and add hydrated yeast.

Finish ABV should clock around 15% if you use a champagne yeast.

Ferment for 2 weeks, rack and rest 8 weeks. Bottle and rest for at least 2 weeks.


Halfway there! Start small with a one gallon batch. 5 gallons is the sweet spot though.


This just needs to happen. Can help.


They were both really good for initial tasting.


Cup of coffee and done.


The two meads types are coming along nicely. Back sweetened the fire mead with 3oz of raw honey and  added 3 cinnamon sticks to each gallon. The Xmas mead was plenty sweet, just added the cinnamon sticks. https://image.nostr.build/52e935b3f3803a9940143e217e206c7d454be1ba6334cbe1afcfeee205dc227b.jpg  nostr:note162m7mypmw8amwrt6zry4mnalgrfrsu7kv594saejvncutk5as2vsj8acnj

Pesci and Stern in Home Alone.


Drinking on some right now, actually. Hopefully you find a local buyer. Getting hard to come by.


Definitely a fail. My War of 1812 knowledge is severely lacking. 😂


I respect the sentiment fully. Doing what is “right” regardless of permissions is the way. Consequences are a good guiding light for most of these decisions.

Love breaking a shit rule.


Thought those were bats for a second. They’re flying over my fields right now and look very similar.


When does your driver’s license expire? 😜


Honestly thought you were messing with me. 😂


Rights in this sense are just another word for permissions. Governments grant permissions. Permissions are entirely jurisdictional.

One can alway choose to act without permission. I highly recommend it.

Dude.. that’s some work! We put in 90 last year. Have about as many left to do. We are on the go slow plan. I still fancy myself young enough, but the body seems to have a different opinion today.


Spud bar got a work out for sure. Garden got a few more edging pieces.


A couple of these done yesterday. This one in particular took WAY longer than I care to admit. The fates were having none of it. Broken welds, forgotten tools, long trips back and forth to the workshop, ants, giant rocks in holes.. it was truly something to be a part of. It was a day in sharp contrast to how things normally roll and there was the appropriate amounts of 4 letter words and laughter. https://image.nostr.build/02099ec631db06ac0c68e70e9420ac7c14ba810778568fd78ade8d871eb4fd5b.jpg


Absurdity.. see. It continues. 😂


Fought everything single step of the way for damn near three hours to get a single fence post in the ground. 😂😂

If it could go wrong, break, or a tool could be forgotten.. it happened.

It got bettter from there. Kept at it and we laughed at the obscurity of it all.


And such a great time. Enjoy the hell out of it.

This is the only book that I recommend to folks that come asking questions. If they don’t take the time to read.. I don’t take the time to talk.

Exactly.


I mean.. the only truly innate “right” you have is the fight to survive. Rights are just another word for permissions and permissions are jurisdictional. Fuck permissions. It’s all choices and consequences anyway. The importance of doing what “is right” is far more important than arguing about what is a “right”.


You’ll only touch that stove once. 😂


The bad is yours to cure by action, the good to enjoy and share.


My face anytime someone sticks a camera in it as well.

It would have been impossible for me to have met my spouse without the internet. Without, we would have never known each other existed. We were on different hemispheres. No common connections IRL. Met because of a common intellectual interest enable by the internet. That’s not just hard to compete with, it’s impossible to compete with.


Glad you escaped and thanks for the advice. I’ll definitely do that. 👍🏻


Locking down contractors and trade workers for quotes and work is like herding cats and chasing chickens.

I do not recommend any of these activities for the weak spirited.


Honor is served only by combat that elevates the spirit.


Haven’t touched it for a few days since the first big run at it. Back to it soon though.


That’s great news. 👍🏻

It’s been all coffee and adrenaline up until about two days ago. The amount of full on go that we managed all week left like a high for sure.


If I can avoid it, no. Demo I’ll sort for sure. There’s foundational issues as well as electrical and plumbing from the well that runs near by. Many hands will be necessary. Plan to keep it as local as possible.

Check out the flame king hog. Super solid.


Good news, finally. Power returned last night. We will spend the day pushing remaining resources to our peoples still in need.

It’s been 20 hour days that have flown by and not exactly remembered with any real continuity. Will be nice to look back, make adjustments for future plans, and get everything put back together.


For sure and thanks so much.


Our word of choice has been a bit more explicit. 😂


Thanks so much.


Losing the bored well really could have been a big set back if water storage and a second open well hadn’t been available. Farms/households just can’t cope without water. A creek was our final fall back option and luckily not needed.


It wouldn’t be as teasable, if I used a single storage option, but I lean towards portability in case travel is necessary. Several 100lb portable propane tanks and six 5 gallon containers for both non-ethanol and diesel.


Hard to describe just how massive the tree really was. It was majestic. You just have to stand next to it. Or.. under it as we were so fortunate to be able to do for a time. Went out with an absolute bang too.


Thanks for the kind words, brother. 🤙🏻

Thanks for the advice. Food and water is sorted. These are simply just another option to have on hand. And good for the area we find ourselves. Redundancies, not single perfect choices.


Correct. Every provider’s towers. 👍🏻


For sure on the pricey side. Cost would be split 5/6 ways depending on those in our circle of support that opts in with us. One radio per household for critical incidents.

I’m guessing you paid the exact amount on the receipt.


To bring a little of my typical silliness back, I did promise the kids a tree house.. got a house tree instead. So close.


Good people and genuine kindness are invaluable. You’re good people.


Yeah.. haven’t made a dent in any of this yet. The property has such a different feel. Attempts at mentally processing the situation is a dizzying cycle of relief for all of us being unharmed, fear at the proximity of it all, sadness for the loss of such magnificent trees, a sense of ridiculousness for having such strong feelings about trees and property when loss of life is a reality for the community around us, and then back to relief for being unharmed. Rinse and repeat multiple times daily.

Little changed in the last few days. Individuals/small businesses helping has far exceed any of the state assistance and as it should be.

Interesting to me that disasters happen all the time, yet majority of folks are caught unprepared every time. 80/20 in action.


This is the way. Share what you can spare.


Confirmations and failures: event still ongoing.

-FRS radios are insufficient for communication within community. Not enough HAM operators to make use of locally. Boosted CBs seem the likely solution for my situation.

-my supply of gas/propane was indeed not as ridiculous as I was teased about prior to this event. 😜

-more chainsaws. more chains.

-dual fuel lanterns/stoves are invaluable.

-battery banks were insufficient.

-food stores/resources on hand were more than adequate.

-security and vehicle access seems adequate. Luckily not fully tested, but vigilant.

-water redundancy was crucial. Lost a well head at the onset. Open well and water storage proved necessary.

-additional generators needed. Had one fail almost immediately.


I’ve got nothing to say that badly. 😂


We’ve taken its loss much harder than the damage to the house.


and thank goodness too. On the bright side (and quite literally) much more sun for the gardens.


Yeah.. hot mess. That root ball is close to 12’ tall. The tallest branch there is close to 75’. She was massive.

Loads of firewood for sure. I have more than 15 just like this down on the property. This one took out the carport, bored well head, and a brick wall. A right mess.

Thanks for thinking about us. Aside from all the clean up (and its extensive).. we’re looking at it as forced camping. 😜


We remain without power. Folks are acting as folks do when they’re panicked. Looting closed business. Fight at gas stations. Wasting valuable resources on stupid shit.

Oh.. and emergency services are non-functional. Shocker. Always be prepared to take care of what’s important to you. No one is coming to save you.

A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical

And all the birds in the trees, well, they'd be singing so happily
Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

But then they sent me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh, responsible, practical

And then they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh, clinical, oh, intellectual, cynical

I said, watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical
A liberal, oh, fanatical, criminal

Oh, won't you sign up your name? We'd like to feel you're acceptable
Respectable, oh, presentable, a vegetable

-Supertramp, The Logical Song


See a need. Fill a need.


Ingredients
2 ounces Goslings Black Seal rum
1/2 ounce lime juice, freshly squeezed
Ginger beer, to top (about 5 ounces)
Garnish: lime wheel

The more kids you have, seeds you plant, and animals you raise.. the more forward you think.

Apocaloptimism is the way. Sure.. the stupid shit in the world is failing. But the good stuff.. it’s getting stronger.

If you are the CEO of a family, here are some questions to ask yourself:

If your bank account or credit card suddenly stopped working, could you feed your family next week?

If your tap water stopped running could you access clean water?

If a thief entered your property would you have the physical confidence and ability to defend your family?

If they were armed, do you have a weapon to defend yourself?

If it was winter and the energy grid went down, could you keep your family warm next week?

If search engines and freely available AI were riddled with lies, propaganda and censorship of truth do you have a library of books that contain truthful timeless wisdom that your family can learn from?

If cell towers go down, do you have a backup method of communicating with others? Do you have an analog radio?

If shit got very chaotic, do you have 5 people you could call and rely on for support?

As a father, I think of these questions often. Worth a ponder

Also there was Tikka Masala made on a mountain side and a really cool tent that was way too big for the bag it came out of.

I definitely enjoyed the series. Loved how in the first few episodes of season one everyone was frost covered when they used the gates and then after a few episodes the effect was abandoned.

Atlantis was fun. Universe was decent as well.

The movie definitely stands up well. The TV series was a once and done, so not sure.

I’ve always had great luck with Red Star Classique.


Good time of year for it. 10 gallons is haul. A straight run or did you go with something special?


Super active this morning. I’ll let it go like this for 2 weeks and then it’ll get racked into a secondary fermenter for ~8 weeks. During this process I’ll be able to get a first taste and check ABV.

The starting potential is 15% https://video.nostr.build/601147e683785ac47a609208b24ef75069df4ea555714f6beeca800c81ba989e.mp4  nostr:note106f986mvaadywlh9mk4uds5rech9dvvdq0rugkg8g03gcrjmaahsnegwcu


Alright. Today is the day. I’ve got the honey pouring into the fermenters now. I’ve got oranges (zest and juice), raisins (chopped), and serrano peppers (sliced into rings) all prepped. Cinnamon sticks will go in during the second ferment to round it off.

Think of it as a not shitty Fireball for the cold months ahead.

All that’s left for now is to brew a cup of black tea (for the mead, not me) and to bloom the yeast.

I’ll get some photos once everything is in the fermenters and the airlocks are on. nostr:note1aulg4hmlmu9pfhjz37eu0a9ffwwv684yhhcd9vzmszkd9r06vfhq5gg4fd

He helped the weak, attacked a god, his staff of Magius was awesome, he was a mess of conflicts but overall a hero when he chose to abandon his gained power to save his brother.

It’s the choosing to lurk when there’s little time.. that’s the issue. Seeing as I relied though.. you might just be on to something. 😜


For reference.. I only just rewatched IT after it ruined my childhood. Since then we managed the reboots and getting a little braver. Overactive imaginations are hell when it comes to horror movies.


That movie is great! I feel like you’re setting me up. 😂


I’ve heard good things. I don’t do creepy well, in all honesty, so I’ve been delaying.


Lurking and a lack of time are a vicious combo.


Seriously. Nothing beats these cooler evenings/mornings and some wood splitting. Fire season approaches.

Wife and I are making our way through our take on the top 300 movies of the modern era (1970-present). We are acquiring each as a DVD as we go. Hunting these DVDs in the wild gives us just as much entertainment as the watching.

In all fairness, the three meals a day thing has never sat well with me. I’m a solid two meals a day kinda guy. Mainly cause I’m working on the farm and ain’t nobody got time for three meals.

That said.. I love me some food. Love me some beer too.

did you know that you can run your very own nostr relay on your current computer? windows, mac, and linux can all run this simple relay software from your system tray.

find the correct relay software for your system here:

https://github.com/CodyTseng/nostr-relay-tray/releases/tag/v1.6.0

after installing, add the relay ws://localhost:4869 to your relay configuration inside your favorite nostr client.

continue creating notes and sending zaps as normal. you'll now have a local backup of all of your content. that's it!

#asknostr


"Nostr will fail unless everyone runs their own relay."

Nostr isn't designed to scale in that manner because it doesn't have routing like lightning.

This claim is similar to saying Bitcoin fails if everyone isn't running a node. While it's preferable, it's by no means necessary.

It need not be perfectly decentralized, just sufficiently decentralized.

Whether that means dozens / hundreds / thousands of relays is up for debate.


Is it the pen or the paper that’s at fault?

Here’s an origin story for you.. I woke up on a fishing boat with a few gunshot wounds, almost no recollection of who I was, or how I got there. Crazy thing was, the guy that pulled me from the water and saved my life also discovered 12 words in a little capsule buried in my hip.

I think medical would be the only reason I’d give drinking up all together. Making wines and meads is a hobby of mine. I’d have to lose the making and the drinking in one go.

Mini greenhouses and vermicompost for the win. Only way to start seeds. Vermiculite doesn’t hurt either. 🤙🏻


Field inspected and all was well apparently.

Don’t overlook calendula. edible leaves and blooms. Plus tons of color.


Definitely.


Definitely a choice.

Useful if you’re struggling with insects. Not great for seedling and germinating. Will add acidity.


We have ducks, guinea, and chickens.

Usually at around 20 weeks they’ll start laying for you. Keep em happy and they’ll keep you fed.


Crazy for sure. We just went triple digits on our bird count.


Humidity is so high at the moment. I just stay drenched and boiling. Shade and cold flowing water is where it’s at.


Never underground. Would.


A cold creek easily defeats a hot day. AC can’t even tough it.

Giving old neglected/abandoned items new life is a source of happiness for me.

New does not mean better.


Or.. some rock splitting wedges.


Nice overcast morning for removing some poison hemlock. We’ve done this every year for the last three and our pastures which were neglected for decades by previous stewards are nearly clear.  Some of these tap roots are 18 inches or longer.

Our solution has always been to plant out more. Fighting this same battle establishing our new place.


Was a lovely discovery. 😂

Sorted the script first thing. Thanks though.

Losing every bookmark is painful.


We had a fire going last night and caught a very similar sight from SC.

This deserves a dutch baby.


Having a healthy recognition of what’s worth the work doesn’t hurt either. Wasted time is wasted life. 🤙🏻


Good call on the Bell’s. 🤙🏻


Can almost see the hidden jack stand behind the front wheel there. Won’t be dropping anything heavy on myself today. 😂


Oil/blade change and a beer. Knocking out the maintenance and resting in one go. 🤙🏻 https://image.nostr.build/b4f404ccfe3f1d6ee27dc567d9ef89facf05b8ae5c05272aecaa2da199a3ab69.jpg https://image.nostr.build/bf676e77c94adc72da3205ae70b7470b559a12cfad50bf999e09442f61ed2d9f.jpg  nostr:note1swkvkqygantjr4qwy7qrgwmdjdev2rxl4ch3ezyemel5tnn59ctsuwxrz7


Rainy days are for maintenance and resting.

Sounds like a good day out. Do love some mead.


I’m a fan of storms. The mowing will always be there waiting.

This is what bliss sounds like for a goat. Best lawn mowers there are.

Paper sleeves and a pencil. Save only from the best fruit/veg/herb and only from the best plant.


Both are long if spent walking.


Americans think 100 years is a long time and Europeans think 100 miles is a long distance.


123rd day of the year. Worthless fact for you, you’re welcome. 🤙🏻


Both long ways and short ways. Consider them folded.

A week old today. Still as vocal as day one. 😂

Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by the corruption and control I see in the world we live in. It’s overwhelming to be aware of but I’d rather have awareness than the blissful ignorance I observe so many enjoying.
I’d rather know and prepare, to build alternate sources of sustenance, to build something that isn’t so easily destroyed.
It gets a little hopeless when I observe through the phone in my hand.
But when I go outside and feel the spring clover tickling my feet, hear the cicadas loudly droning, smell the roses, welcome the newest life, I realize there’s a great steadiness. And then I keep building, planting and growing, and I think that it can make all the difference.

Amazing the happiness that can be found in simplicity and grounding yourself in the basics. More folks will join us. 🤙🏻
