While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease. I hold fast to what I believe, til I see my name in stone. #faith #chickens #gardens #gsd #selfemployment maxi

In a great purple app, there was a bunch of crazy freedom lovers

There were #farmers

And #bitcoiners

There were girls my mom warned me about.

There were assigned agents watching for conspiratorial activity

But no content moderators whispering “hush.”

Goodnight purple app.

Goodnight #freedom lovers.

Goodnight #permaculture freaks.

Goodnight toxic maxis.

Goodnight #footstr.

Goodnight federally assigned agent (sorry for being so boring you won’t get that raise)

Screw off content moderators.

NMI works. There are direct competitors like it, but I can’t speak to them. It’s more of a real merchant service. They offer both card-in-hand and online services, as well as even recurring contracts. My dad uses square, and when I compare square to a real merchant service the user experience is really unprofessional with the ones that try to be easy and simple. They sacrifice too many features, but the more commercial solutions treat you like the intelligent salesman you are.

I also despise several of the “small business” alternatives if they have a business side as well as a personal side. The lines blur when personal accounts are allowed, and they lock your commercial account unexpectedly and strand a week’s + worth of money for the actions of others. I know multiple people on well known trusted platforms that have had problems with this. None were doing anything illegal nor breaking merchant ToS, but ultimately most didn’t recover the last of their money, and none recovered their account.

That said, I would recommend having multiple income pipes online at all times. A “real” merchant service, plus Venmo Business, plus Square, etc in the combination of your choice. Remember when Etsy servers were down and all the soccer moms were complaining about how they had no income? If they weren’t locked into a single service like that, then this wouldn’t have happened for them.

You don’t have to flop all of their little signs out on the table as options every week, just on your backend use whatever works best that week. I don’t remember if anyone has ever said “oh I don’t like square” and ruined a sale, they just care if you can take a card, and if your only payment service is down that’s when they walk.

About the extra fee from cards, just pad it into your regular price. It’s insulting to tack on a extra card charge, and more importantly it doesn’t do any good. People roll their eyes and pay it.

If you offer a discount off regular price, magically people DO have checks and cash. It’s goofy, but that’s how I found the game is played.

With patience, I’ll end up with some daikon this winter! Oh and clover because who doesn’t love a good patch of volunteer clover with their radishes.

Oh bro… I’m backwards of that. Got a perfectly good thing going with residual income for the year centered around actions taken in August.

I have about 10 side hustles in mind but they also also require a heavy month of August. Too many business ideas, too few Augusts. 😆

You know what.. you can’t be deplatformed from nostr, so why not be specific. This article highlights the problems with centralized social media platforms. If this letter was sent to nostr, where would it go? Who owns a protocol? Bitcoin and Nostr etc have a high level of pushback because they are freedom incarnate.

I don’t know if Brand did this stuff. The timing seems odd but whatever. Zoom out. Should some government exert business influence over a private company in a whole other country? No. This is why we told King George to shove it.

Should someone in a far away place have the ability to remove your income when you haven’t even been convicted of a crime. No. Blackstone’s formulation was born out of thousands of years of us attempting to become civilized.

Literally any small fry, Hollywood outsider, or two bit social influencer that the media machine is using to distract from the fact that the Epstein client list has been held since late 2019.

The big fish are out there. They are not who Guy is talking about, because big fish are big because they don’t get caught.

Right now? Less probably 15 a week. For that I can thank two racoon attacks, a possum, and a groundhog that doesn’t eat eggs or chickens but is basically on the demolitions team for the bad guys. 😆

Oh, then maybe a couple more for when they molt or winter comes. Scramble and freeze the extras, or use limewater or wasserglas (sodium silicate), or salt cure the yolks.

I can eat 20 eggs a week. It’s not enough to sell. We got about 10 a day when we were selling, and it was about right. You need enough clients, and you need enough eggs to keep them happy, or it’s not worth it.

You quite literally asked how I do it, and I answered with how I do it. Sorry to do it wrong 😜

Sometimes I wonder about all this #homestead business.. I love me some ramen and old habits die hard.

Agreed. They want to excuse their hedonistic debauchery by making everything into women’s fault. Fine. Let them. I just hope they don’t drag too many people along with them.

Someday 50 years from now, I’ll die in a boring house that smells nice and is freshly cleaned by my boring wife, with a belly full of her boring home cooked meals, looking out the window at our boring #garden with my boring wife holding my hand. Sounds miserable! 😜

Lol, my brain conceptualized this headline as Tactical Redneck blew his stack on the podcast, and got you taken down or something.. 😆

Sounds like I need to study up on my personalities because Pat is unfamiliar to me.

A little bit of midnight #myco last night when I put the #rabbits to bed. .. 🤔 I wonder what rabbit with mushroom tastes like?! Yum probably.

The #homestead has me happy today.
