I'm kicking the tires on #primal lately, and I think the UX is much better than #amethyst. Amethyst has just a touch more ability to tweak settings.

Both make my keyboard wig out when I have to backspace, and primal does the whole zoomer "don't auto-caps at the beginning of a sentence" thing.

Am I missing out on any feature differences between the two?

Day 114

250ft of hand trenching, laying, and burying electric lines

We have power!

Next up: water

#offgrid #homestead

China hacks the Treasury Department, and normies say, "Evil China! but the dollar system is sound."

But also normies: "Bitcoin is too volatile and isn't quantum resistant so ha"

mmkay.

#Bitcoin reaches 69k vs 95k

Day 113

I wish more people would admit this to themselves. Elon has made a career out of government subsidies.

I keep randomly getting sats to my ln address, and I assume it's zaps. But when I look at my notifications/metrics on #amethyst, it doesn't show anything for zaps. Am I missing where to see this? #asknostr

1 Corinthians 13:4-7:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Hey nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd, what are you thoughts on a premium version of strike that reduces fees for us plebs doing bill pay? Guaranteed monthly revenue for you, lower cost for us... Winwin *bounces eyebrows*

Day 111

Mud, no run again. Maybe tomorrow?

Hung insulation, and plywood sheathing for the shed... About 9 hours' worth

Oh, and egg production has increased as well.

The transition from backyard chicken to #homestead chickens is pretty interesting.

We had one that was beginning to look a little sickly, but since bringing her out and free ranging, she's back to healthy color.

The whole flock makes the trek every day to come check on us to see what we're up to, and Richard (the new rooster) has assimilated seamlessly.

Turns out: dangerous #freedom is better than secure slavery.

Does this include nostr:nprofile1qqsvf646uxlreajhhsv9tms9u6w7nuzeedaqty38z69cpwyhv89ufcqpzamhxue69uhhyetvv9ujucm4wfex2mn59en8j6gpzemhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuurjd9kkzmpwdejhgqg5waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxgctdw4eju6t0t25cfd for posting his pod on YouTube?

Day 110

Still mud, more rain tomorrow. 22-hour fast while doing homestead work.

How much did you get this for? I bought a 2500-gal tank for like $1900 after tax

In the words of Michael Scott: "Oh how the turn tables..."

I've been actively avoiding bringing #bitcoin up with friends and family who aren't in it, especially because I tried to have those conversations with them when the price was a quarter what it is now.

1. I don't want it to come across as "I told you so."

2. At a certain point it's a "pearls before swine" situation.

3. Everybody gets the price they deserve.

Day 109

Still muddy, and rained more today, so no run again.

9 hours of trenching, laying electric lines, and clearing brush on a 20-hr fast.

Probably won't be able to run for the next couple days til things dry out.

Still getting good exercise, so I'm still counting it.

Day 108

Moving and homestead work. Counting it.

#proofofwork

Good job!

18-22 hours of daily fasting plus running at least 1 mile every day has gotten me down to the lowest body fat of my entire life, regardless of diet. I haven't measured, but I'm probably single digits, mayyybe 10-11%.
