 Probably. I've always found the intersection of the hardcore fundamental religious types in Bitcoin to be really weird. 
 You tell me you're the priest. I'm a genuine heathen with extremely little knowledge on religion, but I see a lot of Orthodox people around here, and as far as I'm aware, with my limited knowledge on religion, I thought Orthodox was more close to the "fundamentalists"is in you take what's written in the book literally.

 oh, wow, this is cool on first startup. It's a desktop client for reticulum. Looks like it has an explorer for nomadnet, voice call support and normal LXMF messaging making it usable with sideband as well. Looks like I should bring back my nomadnet page. #reticulum

 Wait really? I havent used it yet. Im just starting to poke at this client.  
 I really love the entire series. 
 It gets progressively tripier, is all I can say.

 I muted that numpty. Cant stand political, high-horsedness. I've signed petitions and donated money for Ross. I've done my part. And I'm still not fucking voting for Trump if I vote all this year.

This might actually be one of the first years I just straight up don't vote instead of doing write-ins. 
 You know the sauce game is getting serious when you have to bust out the pot that barely fits on your stove. #foodstr

 I'm currently using namecheap for DNS, but I think it'd be interesting to try and host my own at this point. 
 Pro tip, if your knife cannot glide through a tomato skin, your knife is not sharp enough.

 GM and GN.  
 Fun fact, apparently the exact position where I've been holding my scissors for two days while trimming is also the exact position I used to stabilize my knife while cooking. 

I thought I burned my finger or something, but no, it's just trimming pains. 😂 
 I have maybe one more long night of trimming, maybe two. I've been up pretty late the last couple nights trying to get it all done, but we'll see.

 I would gladly trade corn for sauce. 
 This is me with satisfactory. 1.0 came out and.....well lets just say sleep and productivity dropped pretty sharply for about a week. 
 I do find it kind of ironic that I play the game with spreadsheets. 😂

 I wonder if grandma would be upset if she knew that I was trimming weed in her old rocking chair. It is a nice chair to trim in.

 I think I might break out the 150w grow light & try growing one weed plant indoors. 
 Doooo iiiit.  
 yup. if you really wanted something smaller to you can go with auto flower. Its also a shorter overall seed to harvest time.  
 It's really strain dependent. More popular strains will cost more. But if it's a popular strain, five seeds, seventy bucks, that's about average. Maybe a little bit more expensive for the convenience factor, but it's about what you pay on online for a really popular strain. And sometimes you only get three seeds for that price. 
 Always happy to chat about growing. 😁 
 Yeah, it's great how much the container really affects the size of the plant. You can grow literal trees in 200 gallon pots or if you dig directly into the ground.  
 Growing up a hippie kid who did a lot of weed trimming in his younger years, I never understood why growers hated trimming. Now I'm growing my own weed and granted I don't have a massive farm for it bit Even with the small amount of plants I'm growing I wholeheartedly understand why growers hate trimming. 😅 #weedstr  
 I would never abuse my weed like that. 😂 They do a total hack job. Realistically, I only have like two, maybe three evenings worth of trimming to do, but I'm still gonna grumble about it. 
 Sour cherry Kush, an east coast variant of bubblegum (More sativa dominant than the heavy indica I'm used to seeing on the west coast.), Hindu Kush, lambs bread, and then two test strains from a breeder called Black Patronus and Black Velvet. 
 I would like to take a crack at growing Sagan again. It's probably been my favorite sativa strain that I've grown so far. 
 Yep, I only do one outdoor harvest a year. It was a good mix of flavor and effect. It's also one of those strains that I think got better with age. As much as I enjoyed smoking it when it was initially cured after about a year it was about the perfect sativa for me.

 Lenovo thinkpads. I still haven't heard a positive review about System 76. 
 I just upgraded my daily driver laptop of 7 years to a newer generation ThinkPad and I'm very excited for it to get here. 
 One of these days I'll build a desktop again, but I've gotten so used to the mobility of a laptop. I haven't had one for years. 
 I used pop for my daily driver for about a year before switching back to Debian. 

And that's good to know about their laptops. 
 Email is such a clusterfuck.  
 About twice a quarter I get an email from a client worried about failed email due to block lists, specifically regarding AT&T. AT&T's email system seems to have an aggressive black listing policy and uses non-reputable black lists in its system. Specificly UCEProtect lists Who are hyper aggressive block entire IP ranges and then extort you to get off the list.

So twice a quarter I have to reassure my client that it is something on AT&T side. We are not blacklisted on anything other than Russian based or non-reputable black lists.
