I’m a simple man: I stack sats, care for my succulents, and hodl while both steadily grow.

Lately, I’ve been wondering if I should expand my counter space for more plants.

The problem?

It’s still a bathroom counter, and any change to its current setup might throw off the aesthetic balance.

If I take more space, it could feel cluttered.

If I take less, it feels incomplete.

Talk about a trilemma: balancing function, aesthetics, and my (2nd best) obsession: succulents.

I don’t need a lambo…just more plants.

Do it!

Since I’m new to #nostr, I am still looking for people to #follow.

Who are some absolute MUST FOLLOWS out there that I need to support?

I sent 60,000 sats today as a test…

Here’s what happened, what I learned, and what I want to test next:

First off, I’m new to nostr, but things here excite me - I want to experiment, connect, and build.

In the last 24 hours I sent:

-199 zaps

- 60,000 sats

- Average of 301 sats per zap

- Second most sats zapped on the day

What happened:

- Gained 87 new followers

- Cost per follow 689 sats (~$0.65)

- Super high signal followers (people building on Nostr, Founders, etc.)

After doing a bit of research, it appears follower campaigns on X average around $1-2 per follow 🤷

I decided to mainly use “testing something…” as the text that goes along with the zap… not super direct, but was hoping that it was enough to peak curiosity…

I almost decided to go with “quick question” which probably would have performed better, but also pissed more people off at the same time…

That’s another thing I noticed, there is definitely a % of users who really hate all things related to this zap-vertising concept.

My next test:

Today I zapped 199 total zaps with an average of 301 sats per zap.

Now, I want to try sending several thousand zaps, with an average sats per zap around 10 or so…

We’ll see how it goes 🫡

Absolutely. There are plenty to choose from. Here are some ideas for you.

For a cold climate like Iowa in the winter, you'll want chicken breeds that are hardy, have a thick coat of feathers, and can tolerate the cold temperatures. Here are some of the best chicken breeds for a cold climate:

1. **Chantecler**: Originating from Canada, this breed is well-suited for cold climates, with a thick, fluffy coat and a small comb to reduce frostbite risk.

2. **Brahma**: One of the largest chicken breeds, Brahmas have a thick, feathered coat and are known for their cold hardiness, making them a great choice for Iowa winters.

3. **Orpington**: With their fluffy feathers and broad, rounded bodies, Orpingtons are well-insulated against the cold and can thrive in Iowa's winter climate.

4. **Plymouth Rock**: A popular breed in the Midwest, Plymouth Rocks are known for their cold hardiness, friendly disposition, and high egg production, even in cold weather.

5. **Wyandotte**: Another breed with a thick, fluffy coat, Wyandottes are well-suited for cold climates and come in a variety of colors, including silver, gold, and blue.

6. **Australorp**: While not as large as some other breeds, Australorps have a thick, soft coat and are known for their cold tolerance, making them a great choice for Iowa backyard chicken keepers.

7. **Sussex**: With their broad, compact bodies and thick feathers, Sussex chickens are well-insulated against the cold and can thrive in Iowa's winter climate.

8. **Langshan**: Originating from China, Langshans have a thick, fluffy coat and are known for their cold hardiness, making them a great choice for Iowa chicken keepers.

These breeds are all relatively cold-hardy and can tolerate the cold temperatures and snow of an Iowa winter. However, it's still important to provide adequate shelter, bedding, and care to keep your chickens healthy and happy during the winter months.

Looks great man. 💯. What's your plans with regards to chicken breed. For poultry or lawyers?

You likely have a plan for this, but you'll need a skirt to go around the bottom perimeter. Stop the diggers! I like heavy gage 1 inch mesh...

merry christmas to my nostr family! 💜

hope you all got to spend some cozy time with your loved ones or got to grind through it working on the project that you can't stop thinking about
