The story of Tom Brown, the retired engineer that became 'apple hunter', rescuing over 1,000 'lost' varieties in the last 25 years

Retired chemical engineer, he began his quest to find and preserve lost apple varieties around more than 25 years ago.

The man who owns an apple orchard called Heritage Apples in Clemmons, North Carolina, USA has re-discovered over 1000 rare varieties of apples.

His Heritage Apples showcase at least 600 of them. He has been working so that the heirloom apples of Appalachia in the Eastern United States do not disappear with time.

Popularly known as the Apple-Hunter, Tom grows around 60 varieties of apples each year on his farm and sells around 1000 trees. To encourage more preservation, Brown offers to discounts on the purchase of rarer heritage varieties. Trees from Georgia, Virginia, North Carolina and a few other places have found their forever homes in his orchard.

I'm usually mildly annoyed by the presence of that powerline. Sometimes not.

First post here and this is how it feels to try something new!

What is your #1 favorite 90s song?

I forget how nice walking with trekking poles is, zipped out a 30 min walk this evening. Two walks in 3 days 💪🚶‍♀️, trying to get back into the swing of daily walks.

There is too much going on in my brain…..time to delete some stuff, but i forgot where the button is 😂

Thank you!

The Samourai case is more important to the longevity of bitcoin than people realize.

IMO, it is an attempt on the part of the corrupt SDNY to create an expandable precedent to enable them to go after software developers, which is the prime vulnerability of bitcoin.

Grow your hair and beard, wear worn clothes, use low quality webcam etc

meanwhile, on YouTube, people are starting to fake being offgrid and antiestablishment to get attention.

people will do anything to fill their hunger for fame and importance. devs will tell any lie to get numbers.

Parenting hack for young kids. Everything needs batteries and having a good supply of rechargeables saves a lot of sats in the long run

Thank you! Where does one pay for relays? I don't really understand them at all, and even the page in Amethyst where I can see the relays doesn't let me see the whole page so idk what's going on 😅

Is setting up my own relay something that would be feasible for someone not super great at tech?

If someone could zap me to see if my WoS integration is active that’d be awesome

I can’t seem to zap people on damus anymore directly

Welp I guess I’m workin on my mom’s car engine today… gotta change the serpentine belts… which means I’ll probably have to replace some other shit as well…

Try nostr.land.

But for that you need a scalable relay… and only NFDB does that.

If you guys have any lists of agorists, ancaps, voluntaryists, and other anti-statists on Nostr, feel free to comment them.

Cleaning them is a nightmare.

Yep

Interesting to think about offloading personal liability onto an independent AI agents.

Set the AI agents on a tasks to form multi jurisdictional corporate personhood, rent servers, run a whirlpool coordinator, a cashu mint and nostr relay.

There is a typo or two, i think. "gardee" ... and "fossibility" (I can't tell if that second one is a typo or not, because it's quite witty. If not, it may be better placed in "possibilities" at the bottom and "possibility" used alongside the acronym)

If you have :Nostr: Nostr:

- Private Groups

- Mail

Then, you don't need DMs.

I wish my mom would believe a single word I said haha. The more informed and happy I become, the crazier I appear to her.

Some people annoy me. Let’s say in the bus. They’re talking loud on the phone. I’ll not close my ears, because I need my hands on the phone. I must just manage somehow if I want to be a part of society.

Ignoring (actively not paying attention) is not the same thing as muting (locking out).

And I don’t think anyone should have the right to not see or hear stuff they don’t like. People have the right to be inconventient to others as long as it’s not targeted harrassment.

The nostr implementations highly weighing freedom of speech should penalize muting as well as spamming. Muting comes with social costs in real life. People censor themselves if muting is free.
