Question for anyone who has raised sheep. We just had twin lambs two days ago and the ewe is now acting really lethargic and just wants to lay down. She seemed fine this morning but doesn’t really want to move much now. However she is getting up for the lambs to feed and seems fine to do that. I’m hoping maybe just tired and lacking some nutrients but fear infection. Any thoughts?? I appreciate it!

What is katsu?

My wife caught a swarm of bees this morning at the local rodeo.

They were talking about spraying them with raid to kill them but luckily one of the staff told them not to and called her up..

Our kids got to put on suits for the first time so they could see her transferring them to a new hive up close. They were quite stoked.

Hopefully the bees like their new home and stick around. We need all the pollinators we can get!

My kid just came back from a trip to a museum with a transforming dinosaur, and…well… 🦖

Totally fair and is primarily how I use it as well. But the normies I talk to always think of it as a “when should I sell” type investment and not an opportunity to build an entirely new financial system and why that’s important. You have to start somewhere for sure, but I’ve been trying to stress to people that this is more than a get rich scheme. But no clue if that’s actually working lol

I'm nowhere near that level of hard yet 😅

I thought I was going hard but I didn't even know what hard meant.

Initially, I was more for the vote option, but I think you make some really good points. My biggest gripe with the inflation slogan is that I don’t think a normie is going to think of bitcoin in any way besides an investment with that slogan. I liked the vote slogan because it insinuates that you have an option and that’s a different solution to the problems we’re facing politically. But you’re right that bitcoin is separate from politics.

So now I’m on the fence 😅

The goal of this project is to redirect the attention focused on the US Presidential Election to the topic of inflation & #bitcoin

This will mostly be accomplished in the later half of this year as we distribute yard signs that you can put up near other political signs.

QUESTION: Which do you like better as content for the sign?

OPTION 1: vote for better money

OPTION 2: got inflation? get bitcoin

Please let me know. Zaps for helpful feedback!

My 3 yo loves cooking. I just give him a spatula and he does the rest. Stands and stirs, flips pancakes and French toast. Quite entertaining to watch. Little chef 👨‍🍳

Also, good morning ☀️ ☕️

Deflation anecdote:

My late grandfather bought a record player off an American GI leaving Taiwan in the 60s

The price? ~40,000 NTD which would have been enough for a plot of land in the heart of modern Taipei or a house+storefront at the time.

My late grandfather passed early so I don't have many recollections of him, all I have are stories. He seemed like a classy dude, smoked a pipe, played go, listened to opera -- enjoyed life. A well respected academic turned merchant, how could he have made the mistake to exchange money for technology which will only get cheaper over time?

Was it worth it to exchange money for a device that plays music instead of another plot of land? The elders bring up this question from time to time.

I've chewed on this a lot over the years. Hell yes 👀 "what is this noise?" "why is it so loud?" "what are they saying?" are the curiosities the money bought as my grandfather would blast opera records to wake up my aunts and uncles every Sunday. My aunts and uncles all have fond memories of the record player, even memories of how my grandpa was chastised for frivolous spending.

Was it worth it to get access to technology marginally sooner? The record player would have been infinitely cheaper just a short decade later. Whether or not by coincidence, both my uncles went on to work in tech, and one even contributed to many instruction sets used in audio decoding for CPUs. My tech background mostly comes from my uncles who let me play around with engineering samples to build computers, and got me on the Internet very early. Perhaps if it wasn't for my grandpa deciding to bring home a record player instead of sitting on another plot of land, I wouldn't have had the proper knowledge, skillset, and curiosity to be pulled into Bitcoin. The butterfly effect of my grandpa's decision put me in the right place at the right time. Maybe that extra decade of opera listening made all the difference, fun to think about.

Tl Dr; trying to find what this record player looks like, all I have are descriptions from 70+ year old Taiwanese folks. I spent hours on Google, the image above was the closest but the record player portion still isn't right. It was some sort of shelf instead of a top lid 🤔 any antique stereo experts on nostr? Will zap ⚡ a note that can help with details to help find the correct one

I don't understand how plain soap, baking soda, and vinegar are such powerful cleaning agents and we ended up with a sea of chemical cleaners instead. I even preferred the chemicals before and I can't understand why. They're neither easier nor cheaper nor more effective.

Two of my stainless steel pots are shiny brand new right now because of baking soda, borax, and vinegar. Unbelievable.
