A little more than 2 decades ago, people used to hold pictures of loved ones in their wallets. Wallet manufacturers found it a necessary feature to include the little clear plastic photo inserts, otherwise they would be passed over by consumers. This was considered a must have feature. And it was a common tv trope for a guy to whip out all his family photos from an accordion style book of photos in his wallet and bore the protagonist. This was an unquestioned thing everyone did.

Now it sounds almost crazy to hear. The smart phone clearly killed it.

But what I find most compelling is the idea that before any wallet manufacturers had established the status quo. One wallet manufacturer was the first. And before any manufacturer was the first, men must have been carrying photos of loved ones in their wallets just tucked into the pockets getting bent and scratched up through years of use. Inorder for that to have been seen as a possible wallet innovation the manufacturer had to have noticed the trend.

But for that trend to start in the first place, men must have at one point made the conscious decision to carry a physical photograph and someone had to start the behavior before it was a trend, likely when photograph prints were not so cheap.

As I consider the options, the most likely scenario to me would be the catalyzing event of men going to war. Likely slipped a photo of the recent wife, kids, etc into the wallet so it would always be with them through the long time apart and terrors they would face. And when they return from war it is an established norm. Sons see their fathers, and imitate, and they must find some utility to maintain its popularity

I think the criticism placed on industrial meat production has legitimate substance. When humans aren’t interacting at a human scale with anything, land, creature, animal or human, they don’t behave…humanely. Given that a humans ethical wetware is based on direct interaction the distance from production to consumption creates problems.


Every attempt at veganism I have borne witness to starts with making claims about how Unnatural, Unhealthy, and Unethical eating meat is. And then, as you point out here, eventually end with the same person within three years coming to the conclusion of the exact opposite opinions. Everything in moderation folks.


My 3yr old son and I have been playing a game recently where the bad guy steals something that isn’t theirs and the good guy wins when he defeats the bad guy and returns the stolen object.

Like most games we play, this one was emergent from something else we were playing that took a different turn and now has become its own thing.

That it occurred once is a trivial anecdote.

That he repeatedly pulls me from the couch, my cooking, work, or anything else to play it, i think, represents how it resonates with his heart. Maybe it’s just because it’s fun, you may say. But ask yourself precisely why he finds it fun, among all the other infinite permutations of behaviors which could have been the emergent game. That he finds it fun, is exactly what is meant by “resonate with his heart.” The form that the fun takes is no accident. It’s a reflection of the creature having the fun. There are a multitude of things I have and will continue to try to make fun for my kids. Me trying to make something fun doesn’t make it so.

If puppies and kittens play to form bonds and practice the essential skills they will need when they are adults. Are humans any different? What is my son preparing for? #grownostr #parenting #philosophy


#Thanksgivingstr #cookstr #thanksgiving I do not have a lot of Turkey experience under my belt, but the best Turkey I have ever made (not my only) was when I spatchcocked the Turkey laying it over the stuffing in a roasting pan.

Never forget, time is more valuable than Bitcoin.

Short term storage is in some sense more natural for more conversational stuff. Like talking to people irl, are generally a short storage event.

Btw, for huge relays another idea would be a similar que system; but counted in notes per npub. aka free storage 1k notes per npub the delete the oldest.


Yes, humans didn’t evolve within a state of having months of prior interactions, so it seems pretty unnecessary for normal interactions. in some sense the expectation of having forever data is created by or at least subsidized by the benefit of the platforms mining that data for something they can sell of you.


From time to time I consider my own relay and I think “short term” storage of notes to be sufficient for most use cases. This would be the kind of thing I would do.


I don’t come to the #Nostr expecting anything, but if you wouldn’t mind boosting this note I’d appreciate it. 🙏

I’m one of the founders of nostr:npub1hxfkcs9gvtm49702rmwn2aeuvhkd2w6f0svm4sl84g8glhzx5u9srk5p6t, a community of noderunners on the Nostr, currently with over 340 member nodes and an active Telegram group, where we help new and experienced users connect, share knowledge, and expand the Lightning network together.

I started my journey into running a bitcoin and Lightning node in early 2021, when I was one of the first 100 members of Plebnet.

Built on a Raspberry Pi4 with 8 GB of ram, my current node, Dan on the Moon now runs 60 channels with a total capacity of nearly 175 million sats.

In early January, 2023, soon after joining the Nostr, I realized there was no organized group of noderunners, so I decided to start one along with a few other people. Within 3 months, we had reached 200 members, and are on track to double that by our one year anniversary.

Due to the current high-fee environment, my node hardware is struggling under the load. With no way to expand memory and disk space in the current configuration, it's due for an upgrade.

Because it runs Umbrel, I've decided the path of least resistance will be to purchase an Umbrel Home, which sells for $500 US, and ships with a migration assistant to seamlessly move all of the existing node data and channels.

In the future, I plan to also build a second node on custom-built components, but the current need is to keep this node stable and not end up in a situation where any of my channels get force-closed.

If I am able to raise the funds through Geyser, the node will be renamed "The Nodestrich" and will provide more stability for my channel peers, who have been some of the most supportive and helpful people I have met since I started my journey.

Thank you! 💜⚡🫂

My son just woke up, when he does, he always shouts for us to get him, he is used to his crib, even though he has transitioned to a bed, etc. etc. I tried to go get him, he was furious, he wanted his mom. Thinking this is absurd, I picked him up to take back to our room, as is our routine. He is furious and crying. His mom can’t console him either. He has just marched back to his own room, climbed back into his own bed, and is now calling for mom again. I apparently did it wrong. 😂 #FML #parenting


nostr:npub1xtscya34g58tk0z605fvr788k263gsu6cy9x0mhnm87echrgufzsevkk5s On the “first post” action as a “new user” the post button did not actually post, and close the screen, so I spammed the relays. Not a great “first experience” if I had to guess I would say there may be a bug with @ mentioning someone, or posting an image in the “first post” as that may not be expected?

Anything that doesn’t scale, fails to scale because of increasing marginal cost, At some point with each additional quantity produced the next item is more expensive than the last.

Usually this starts to happen when you outstretch the capacity of your fixed or semi fixed assets. Try growing more of anything than you have space for or the tools for. You will reach a limit and beyond that point the marginal cost increases. But you can still find a new way to do something which breaks through  that limit to further expand production beyond the previous point where marginal costs increased. It’s based on current tech, skill, knowledge, space, tools, people, etc.

If a production method allows “a lot” to be produced beneficially it is said to “scale” atleast in the space of what is being produced. But regardless of what that limit is, producing up to that point can still be beneficial.

You may just need to change your expectations. You may not be able to corner the market in every grocery store, but you may be able to provide your immediate family with all the Basil they will ever need.

Here is a list of the things that at some point, do not scale: Everything


Are you recording basic health metrics through your journey? Just a few ideas:

I guess I would have imagined first people capturing and raising cattle for meat and skins then discovering them as useful for work animals and then finding a use for the milk they also produced after the calf is on grass. The way you described it sounded more like you thought they wrestled down a wild bovine for her milk which seems unlikely to me.

And no mention of vitamin D, I thought the lack of melanin made vitamin d production possible in a wider geography with less direct sunlight. Which is what I thought the selective pressure was for that particular mutation to take hold. Breaking down lactose just seems to be advantageous I’m not aware of a competing risk acquired.

Proof of work, you get it. 🙂


Mini scify thought: One day in the not so distant future: twitter, Facebook, instagram or TikTok will declare bankruptcy. And a judge will declare the creditors owners of the assets. The body of creditors will then auction off the personal information that had been amassed by those platforms as a means to recoup their losses. Photographs, videos, DMs, likes, texts, all of it. Celebrities will be brought into bidding wars with the tabloids. The government will bid on their citizens data in a two faced attempt to “protect the citizens privacy”. governments will attempt to buy the intelligence of their adversaries.

Regular folks watch as their long lost high school secrets are auctioned off for pennies on the dollar. Things they assumed safe in the hands of the platform they trusted, now being sold to entities they never would have given it to.


It’s true, if it really is important that will follow up.

Starting to get our sheep setup in their winter paddocks.
https://i.nostr.build/4z8G.jpg
Each winter, the sheep are in a static paddock from late December until mid April. We try to take advantage of the impact and fertility of the sheep when choosing where to locate the winter paddock each year. It's a great opportunity to trample down, fertilize and mulch an area of weaker pasture.
https://i.nostr.build/qelB.jpg
(Last year winter paddock)

We decided to put the sheep in the same area again this winter to help reduce the pressure of the rush grass growing there. We were able to make some progress last winter but there is still more rush than I'd like in the area. The sheep dont eat the rush and I want to maximize the food available to them while maintaining a diversity of plants.
https://i.nostr.build/5Alr.jpg
(Last year end result of winter paddock)

By putting the hay on top of the rush grass it encourages the sheep to trample it and cover it with a layer of straw mulch when they are done. I'm hoping that this technique works just as well or better than it did last year.

Ended up with over 60lb of squash from the food forest this season.
https://i.nostr.build/9L9X.jpg
https://i.nostr.build/kmrV.jpg
We have grown squash in the food forest for the last 4 years. The first year we grew very little but the second year we were able to get over 60lb. Last year was similar to the first, very little squash but this year we grew over 60lb again. There has pretty much been no consistency when it comes to planting times and techniques, so I'm not surprised by the inconsistency. It would cost almost $80 to buy at this much organic squash at the grocery store, right now. While the seeds were cheap, I did spend some time planting the squash. I didn't keep track of how long it took exactly but I bet it was less than 2hrs total to plant. Plus, by integrating the squash bed into the food forest I was also fertilizing the perennial plants at the same time. The only additional interaction I had with the squash was harvesting it, no watering or weeding. All things considered, even though squash is fairly cheap to buy at the moment, I think it was worth it to grow my own. There is also something special about eating food grown with homemade soil and the sunlight and water that falls on the homestead.

Are you familiar with the economic principal of ‘comparative advantage’? I may not be the best at anything, but since you are the best at what you do, (make furniture) you will specialize in that thing. And the ‘cost’ for you to do anything else other than making furniture is higher because for you to do anything else, means you must give up the chairs and tables you would have otherwise produced with your time. Which is why you would rather pay me (average guy) to do any other work other than build furniture for you so you have more time to focus on the thing you are best at. So maybe you will pay me to sell the furniture in your store or clean up the sawdust. Even if you are better than me at actually selling the furniture you will be better off focusing on the thing you do best and employing me to do the things which enable you to spend more time using your advanced furniture building skills. And then society as a whole is better off because everyone that is best as something, spends their time doing the thing they are best at, so more furniture is made than otherwise would have been if you had to stop and cleanup up all the time or had to stop to sell furniture part of the time.

“Against stupidity we have no defense. Neither protests nor force can touch it. Reasoning is of no use. Facts that contradict personal prejudices can simply be disbelieved — indeed, the fool can counter by criticizing them, and if they are undeniable, they can just be pushed aside as trivial exceptions. So the fool, as distinct from the scoundrel, is completely self-satisfied. In fact, they can easily become dangerous, as it does not take much to make them aggressive. For that reason, greater caution is called for than with a malicious one. Never again will we try to persuade the stupid person with reasons, for it is senseless and dangerous.”

Gotcha, I think I have about thirty and I think I write to about 14 of them. I use Damus, Nostur, and primal for the basics. But I’d like to experiment with some of the other apps. Like stores and what not. The concept of relays creates some interesting features but also more complexity i with the apps had more of a means to manage that complexity. There are probably some need for special case apps as well. Just a mass import and export would be desirable.


Alright off to learn Morse code.


I also read all terrorists breath air, we should no doubt find a way to poison all the air, so we can get every last one of them. 😮💨


What is this relay list? Are these mine?


It was a thing from nostraisia, Japan Nostr does it is my understanding, where they don’t @ someone to reply. They just repost it, then post their reply. So you see them sequentially. I’m not sure why or what sort of benefit it is supposed to have. It developed as a convention very early in Nostr my guess is that it filled the need for quote reply before the devs had made that work? But this is just what I have picked up from context clues I might be a bit off.


I would love a standard for #Nostr apps to read relays from either
1) A relays list stored in Nostr
2) a standard file format for import and export.
3) something else more cleverer

And all Nostr apps used these methods.

As a user I find it annoying to be presented with needing to copy / paste each relay.

The friction will push us to centralization and reduces the network effect of Nostr. npub / nsec is less portable if I have difficulty keeping relay lists synced. Results in odd behavior. #devs #asknostr

I have had some apps magically have my relays and others not and I’m not sure why or how I can do more. A step in the right direction would be if apps asked nsec bunker or nos2x for the lists. Then I could have them in one place and just upload whenever I wanted.

I’m going to give you a contrarian viewpoint I guess.

In a world where Bitcoin replaces all other currencies what do the businesses receive in exchange for the goods and services they provide? Obviously Bitcoin. What will they pay their dividends in. Obviously Bitcoin. The equities you are buying through your 401k are stakes in companies. Businesses aren’t going to disappear just because the dollar does. Businesses existed before dollars and before any fiat, before gold. Entrepreneurship is as fundamental as hey I think we can use this trap I made to get more buffalo meat and hey I will trade you my buffalo meat for those fine shoes you made. When you buy equities you are buying shares of companies, shares of businesses. Today they return dollars because that is what they collect but you believe in Bitcoin they will one day return to you Bitcoin. Future Bitcoin that you get because one day long before you exchanged fiat for a share of the business.

There is certainly a risk it taking current trends and extrapolating them. So your caution is wise.

1) failing to That would ignore the things humans would do to mitigate those perceived risks. In the case of the ozone, regulations phased out the use of refrigerants that believed to be a contributor.
2) and It would ignore the uncertainty with the trend changing with no reaction from humans due to our lack of understanding of the trend.

And I definitely don’t think it’s an end of the world scenario.

For what dread prediction has ever come true, maybe too early to say for certain but I would say the national debt may be one such prediction.


In 1894 the Times of London predicted that by 1950, New York would be buried under 9 feet of horse manure. And according to the 89th annual report of the board of health nearly 500 tones of horse manure were collected from the streets of New York daily.

Relief came in the form of the automobile which was not anticipated and changed everything.

I think a similar phenomenon is coming into view in regards to population demographics. The demographic winter is upon us. And the world as we know it will be radically changed. The world has never faced a drop in the population all predictions not taking this into account will be radically wrong and many predictions attempting to anticipate it are also going to be wrong. Policies and politics and economies will be turned on their heads. It will be quite disruptive.

Ah I see where you were going now though. If 230 was ever revoked then the platforms could be sued while you can’t sue Nostr, there is no one to bring into court. Nostr would provide the services that the platforms do without 230 being required. While without 230 all the platforms would likely have to lock down as they would be responsible. But in either case the user is responsible for their speech. Though it is true that a user of Nostr, if they chose could be completely anonymous and so ever enforcing a defamation claim would be practically impossible. One final quibble, Section 230 doesn’t reside in the US constitution, just federal law. How is defamation handled in other places of the world do they have equivalent “Section 230s” ?


40% of the time primal fails to post…


Platform or protocol. If I write something defamatory about a person and distribute it via Nostr the defamed can sue me for the damages in a court. If I deny that I wrote the defamation they can retrieve the note from the relay as evidence. Aren’t you asking if someone can sue you for something you write and distribute via the Nostr protocol? HTTP (the internet) is a protocol, SMTP (email) is a protocol. I don’t think anyone has protected themselves from a civil judgment claiming “they only emailed / used the internet to distribute the defamation so it doesn’t count.”


Sure, sued in a court with the note retrieved from a relay as evidence, yes.


A safety deposit box meets that need. It’s not immune from a warrant but if I understand your desire breaking up a pass phrase into pieces and storing across different deposit boxes and some at home is probably what you want but they can all be raided potentially.


I’m sure I will get some eye rolls but around me safety deposit boxes are provided by banks not the government. The government needs a warrant to open them.

This is a very early heads up as this won’t likely take effect in the next year, but it looks like the Fed may be adopting rules that will squeeze large bank’s profitability of debit cards. Which will put pressure on large banks to drop free debit and checking services for some people and likely increase fees derived from those services. There is a lot one could say, but for this audience what I would point out is, if this is true, that means there will be more friction introduced into the traditional payment methods from a consumers point of view. Which creates an opportunity for any not currently established payment method to gain adoption within that population. That could be BTC, that could be CBDC, that could be something else.

The standard paradigm for a payment method to grow in adoption is that it needs to provide something of value to all participants of the method. (Typically that is banks, users, merchants, and the network). In this case debit cards would be providing less value to banks and less value to consumers. More value to merchants, and no change to networks. (Visa, MC)

I sometimes wonder if the striving is what I'm after and not the ultimate achievement. This is why focusing on achieving my  highest ideal is important along with the continuous reevaluation of what the highest ideal is as I gain experience and knowledge throughout life. If I focus on the ideal, it is impossible to achieve or perfect but continuously possible to improve upon, continuous striving. Hopefully the financial capital Bitcoin provides will only create freedom to focus more on my ideals and less on achievement of idea of financial success.

Well said, I think that approach is good.

Always have something that you're working towards but not something so impossible that you're discouraged. The permaculture work that you do will never be finished, you have successes but there's always some problem to solve & some aspect to improve.

I think we thrive on having a greater purpose & meaning to our action. To be creating & expanding. We seem to wither when we lose that even if we have all our basic needs met.


Sounds like you are saying that working on the edge between impossible and already done is the most productive.

As you are the trucker I will let you decide what the likelihood of a coincidence is. How rare does something like a blown out tire happen.

I loath it when a journalist interviews someone and makes the article as a back and forth dialogue. Seriously how lazy? Instead of writing a story and finding your three sources who’s content from their interviews you weave into your article, which has a narrative and a point of view, and must defend itself from criticism, you do one interview where you ask all your baiting questions and then just transcribe the recorded interview. It’s like if a chef decided to serve you 1/3 of the ingredients for a meal instead of actually preparing a meal. I’m supposed to read this and do all the work for you? It would be different if the person being interviewed was a person of note, then that’s an interview with a person of note. But these are just source material dressed up. I’m no journalist, I don’t know the industry, my hope is when someone gets one of these  published their peers make snide remarks. “Oh, I see you've mastered the art of the 'copy-paste interview' piece. Who needs original content when we can just publish our email threads, right?”


I am slowly adopting the view that our species is becoming less human by the day. Losing not just skills but living a way of life which is alienated from our natural environment. If we have evolved over hundreds of thousands of years within an environment where you share space with a close tribe, hunt, forage, live intimately within a forest or field. All the inputs your brain would be adapted for have been changed when you wake up in an apartment in a city. Trading your hours for necessities by looking at a screen and typing symbols into boxes. What we do about it is up to us.

Original “box car children” was something I read when I was little. Narnia was also good.


If you start to feel tingly that means you are starting to hyperventilate, no worries just take a break from it breath normal and you will naturally slow your breathing. Above all try to stay relaxed, slow in and out. 👍


When I can’t sleep I use two breathing techniques to get back to sleep. 1) is to while laying down in bed breath in for four seconds, hold for four seconds, breath out for four seconds , hold for four seconds… breath in for four seconds, etc until you fall asleep. The numbers can be a little distracting but it’s an established technique to calm yourself in stressful situations and I found out it helps me go to sleep as well. 2) while laying down in bed, I Essentially I try to hyper ventilate quietly and slowly. As Deep as you can, sweeping breaths in  and then out until no air is left, with no pausing, all through the nose. And just be in the moment of the breaths no counting required , and try to think about something pleasant if you need to get your mind off of something and it it helps you, you can count breaths to ten then start over. (Which is a meditation technique, but it also helps me sleep) But the point is actually that you will get so much oxygen your body will want less oxygen and because it’s such a “unnatural pace” of breathing your body will naturally want to slow down breathing and when it does and you are distracted enough to you forget you are trying to breath this way, then you naturally slow down your breathing and in that period fall asleep. It is quite frustrating when you can’t sleep, good luck.


When I was maybe 15? My dad was doing work under our house in the crawl space which was when my brother and I called what we saw “spider crickets”. We saw one in the house the next day but it got away before we could catch it. Couldn’t find it that night. Went to bed, and I was awoken by the feeling of something crawling across my face. I knew exactly what it was and jumped out of my bed shocked and flipping out. Still couldn’t find it though. And that was the last we saw of it. Thank you for reminding me of that. 🎃😱🎃

So I made some new blunders with this one when I tried to scoop out the dough after the fermentation step, it just all deflated, so I think I need to change my technique. Also I didn’t really know how to kneed before I made this. I have now looked it up so I can expect a future improvement there as well. I haven’t tasted it yet but I think I got more of an oven rise, and it should have had a longer time to develop flavor. It’s kind of nice getting an understanding of how the end product changes (or doesn’t) based on missing steps or trying something new.

#podcasts #recommendations #policy #deepstate


Oh my! Going to add that to the list.


I don’t think we actually disagree friend. I think you think I used the wrong word. Which I may have. I perfectly agree all value is subjective. And when you say there is no such thing as “intrinsic value”, if what you mean is that there is no thing which has the same value to everyone. (Being a value ‘intrinsic’ to its existence ) Then I agree with that as well. I used intrinsic only to make a distinction between that value that comes from a thing being a thing itself from the value that you can get from a thing as a transaction. It’s my read that when people say BTC has no intrinsic value, their criticism is that there is no reason it’s price is what it is, it is only manifest by the hopium of the bitcoiners. And I think the rebuttal argument, that “fiat is the same” misses the opportunity to point out actual relative benefits which would explain why someone would trade dollars for btc because the “intrinsic” properties of bitcoin as money are advantageous to the “intrinsic” properties of fiat as money.


Yes! This is what I need, more popcorn recommendations. Have you tried other varieties?


In response to the criticism that #bitcoin has no intrinsic value, I see bitcoiners embrace the premise and say in response that US fiat has no intrinsic value. I think this is a mistake and here is why: What would you rather have $20 dollars worth of apples or $20 US fiat dollars. Unless you are in the market for apples right now and you aren’t delusional, your answer is $20 fiat, why? Because apples rot faster than the inflation rate. Apples are harder to carry than the paper bill. Apples are harder to trade than the paper bill in barter because not everyone wants your apples. They are both worth $20 but you would prefer the fiat than the apples. This is the intrinsic value of any “money” and it is true for most fiats.

The intrinsic value of a shovel is how it helps you dig faster than without one, and all the other things you can do with a shovel.

You exchange dollars for a shovel when you get more value from the shovel than you do for the dollars. (You don’t have a shovel and you need to dig a hole.) The store exchanges a shovel for dollars when they get more value from the dollars than they do the shovel. (They have many shovels and no holes to dig.)

Now let’s do BTC. Would you rather have $20,000 in fiat or Bitcoin. $20,000 fiat “rots” faster than #BTC both as physical paper and value (from inflation). It’s easier to carry $20,000 in BTC than in fiat, (It’s more secure, and requires fewer pockets.) Finally and especially online it’s easier to transact BTC for goods and services than it is to exchange dollars. I can zap you, you can zap me. It’s takes no effort or time across space and a zap is very cheap, compared with shipping dollars or paying an intermediary. Also BTC is more divisible than fiat currency so it can be used more precisely. This is the intrinsic value of Bitcoin as a money. And this is why you should prefer it to the same value in a fiat currency or apples.

So the next time someone tells you BTC has no intrinsic value. Don’t just accept the premise. #bitcoin has an intrinsic value  as money and it is greater than fiat money.

Nobody was willing to spend their sats in quantities sufficient to sustain a viable decentralized economy on the network. KYC’d fiat payment methods and ad-supported revenue models crept in and the economies of scale led to centralization of relays/servers until users realized they were now just using a shittier version of the major social networks with a smaller user base so they went back where their friends are.

10 minute bouts every half hour or so. Progress I guess.

Looks great, well done, how do you get him/her to stand still that long.


Well done


I was thinking about that just yesterday


They said it couldn't be done.  They said it's just highly inefficient json duplicates.  They said no one would use it.

Well, we are gonna push it to the red line.  We are gonna flood the internet pipes with the purest of signal until they burst.  Then we will push it some more.

Phones will be smashed and melted in the process.  Carrier networks will plead for mercy. Servers will cry in pain at the memory mapped instantaneous delivery of an endless json tsunami.

A coronal mass ejection will literally bounce off the undersea internet cables because they are so full of json notes.  The only electronics left alive will be the vast nostr library, dutifully protected in faraday cages by humble nostriches.

Then, we will rebuild the world with pigeon delivered json hand written on hemp paper.  And they will look at us and say, that'll never work.

Cards on the table I’m not really a car guy. But photos of rims on a car feels similar to the equivalent of #footstr , right?

If any one has an interest in supporting a Cub Scout Den my daughter’s Pack is here: https://www.trails-end.com/store/scout/LME9E079

We joined the cub scouts as a means to push back against what I see as the hollowing out of local community. And give her additional anchors besides her public school socially. So far she loves it and it gives us an excuse to camp with other families. And I hope it will feed into other scouts programs as she gets older to support a resilience mindset and skill set.

For anyone that would rather zap and doesn’t care about the thank you gift of popcorn, I will take all the zaps of this note or my profile for the next week and put it towards a “Hero’s and Helpers Donation, via this link

Good morning all, you know how they don’t make things like they used to, but you can still get some items from those last remaining artisans which are truly of a rock solid construction and avoid the planned obsolescence of the present commercial era? Yes? Well, does anyone know where I can get a guillotine? Asking for a friend.

He or she is just sick and tired of the flimsy, flat pack, guillotines I / they can get online. They just don’t hold up to life’s wear and tear. Besides the instructions are always written in French and they have all those little pieces that get lost when I’m putting it together… he’s putting it together. Thanks in advance for the info. #grownostr #itsajoke #humor #seariouslythoughDMme #gm


Honestly, other than air, water, food, and love, the idea of having everything, all the time, 24/7 365 is kinda weird.
Seasons, and rests are woefully under appreciated, and misunderstood.


God dammit nostr:npub13wfgha67mdxall3gqp2hlln7tc4s03w4zqhe05v4t7fptpvnsgqs0z4fun, no one was talking to you.


I was playing this game on my phone called snake.io, it’s kinda fun and meditative, once I got the hang of it, I was way better than all the other players. And I didn’t really understand why. Then my 6 year old wanted to play on my phone and she was doing decently well, and it hit me, maybe I was playing against children. I felt kinda guilty. The next day I played it some more and some of the other players were doing better but I was still dominating for long stretches … then I realized my phone was on airplane mode. So, I have concluded I was playing against bots the whole time. I’ve lost interest in this game, seems kinda pointless now. Any way nostr:npub1tsgw6pncspg4d5u778hk63s3pls70evs4czfsmx0fzap9xwt203qtkhtk4 I’ve missed our long talks and I’m glad to be back. Thank you for the lovely letter, my mother is doing fine. She told me to tell you “Hi”.


Pollarding the "weed" trees in the food forest
https://i.nostr.build/K6X2.jpg
Inevitably, unwanted trees grow wild in the food forest but instead of cutting them down entirely to remove them, I pollard them. By pruning the tree back to the main trunk, I get food for the rabbits. If I kill the tree, okay but if it lives then it will grow even more food for the rabbits next season.
https://i.nostr.build/V7R0.jpg
I do the same practice with the seedling apple trees that get too large to use as grafting rootstock. I didn't realize how convenient planting them next to the rabbit colony would be. Each year I cut all the branches of each of the trees and toss them into the rabbits. Each year the apple trees have more branches to cut.

If you can see from the perspective of an everyday person living in a Kibbutz in southern Israel, and really listen and feel it,

and then you can see from the perspective of a young person born and raised on the north border of Gaza, and really feel what that means,

and then you can see how politics and ideology are taken up as weapons of the State leading always to violence,

And then seeing all that, you pray that the Kingdom of the Prince of Peace would finally come to the earth, and you try to prevent the short sighted hate of the world from getting into your heart and mind,

you are a beautiful person and im thankful to be here with you.


Welcome


Interesting development, do you still think they will push the lines back 150 km? @note1uhrwlzzaxxy59tna0j0nw80d7d4qqndlh6vczpmyzvv8u09xegdsxpcpuv


This is how we stay human


I’ve been away from Nostr for so long that I don’t know what the current BTC price is. It’s kind of glorious. I’m presently in a Schrödinger's cat scenario. I wonder how long it will last? #nostr wait what are the good hashtags again?


Good luck. I’m not a Hunter, I have no practical experience, but a mild interest in  it in a “maybe someday” kinda way. But are the wasting diseases / zombie deer not a problem to be concerned about? Curious on the perspective from a hunter.


Welcome from October. I have not been plugged in the past month. And it was kinda great. But no flying cars on Nostr yet? What gives?


Also a fan


93% of all bitcoin is in circulation. https://image.nostr.build/06e31fb5bb25e668aeb72540e9c0ac5514403eb2f3382f2158b6731039cb93cb.jpg


Can someone clarify, that there was a moment in history where lacking air conditioning And therefore the need for fans and open windows combined with all the paper artifacts required for daily business necessitated the valuable product known as a paper weight? By my time these objects were novelty items, can anyone from the period confirm that they ever were truly valuable amendments to an office?
