Yesterday I completed the foundation level amateur radio training day and exams. Scored 100% in the theory exam. The practical exam isn’t scored but just assesses some basic competencies. Overall it was pretty straightforward the only cost will be for the licence and call sign once the results have been registered with the ACMA. While I don’t have any interest in buying a lot of expensive equipment and spending a lot of time taking to people over radio, I am interested in the technology and particularly some of the digital data modes.

NOSTR is soooo cool 😎

You can just do stuff.

Still the usual scamminess.

"I found the problem! But make sure you buy my book to read more about the problem you are having now that I told you about it. I might even throw in how to solve this problem you didn't know you had. Bitch, just buy my book."

I think I get your point at the autistic level but doesn't that leave a vagueness to the definition of custodial?

Wouldn't giving my money to Tom to hold for me be a riskier endeavor than giving it to a local board that now has reputational risk spread across it's members? Maybe Tom is a dick but probabilistically wouldn't there be a lower chance that the consensus of Tom, Peter, Frank, George and Lisa are all dicks since it increases the total reputation on the line across all members?

As you build up your ecash balance, we’re going to encourage you to upgrade to self-custody with a proper Lightning channel.

At a certain threshold, you’ll also be able to swap out from your Lightning channels to an on-chain UTXO, or even go from ecash to on-chain directly.

my rhr used to be 42.

Lunch at a brewery 🙃

I actually prefer it unscented. It's just tallow and a lye solution. I melt the tallow, make up the lye by adding it to water then pour the lye solution into the tallow and blend it until it's the consistency of pudding. Then into the mould to set. 48 hrs later I cut it up and leave it to cure for 6 weeks.

There are soap calculatorsonline you can use to work out the right amount of lye solution to tallow.

Second batch of soap today and burned out my first stick blender 🤦🏼‍♀️

Todays project: Honey Tallow Face Cream

Super easy to make!

80g rendered tallow

40g local raw honey

20g castor oil

50 drops pure Frankincense oil

Add them all in together and blend with a stick blender. You can melt the tallow if you want to and mix the honey into the warm tallow first but then you need to chill it for 30 min until semi firm before whipping for the best results. I'm really happy with the chuck it all in method.

I've found I only need the very smallest amount to get a lovely silky feeling when it's all rubbed it. I'm excited to see how my skin responds to it over the next fortnight. I might make a few tweaks to the next batch based on my results.

We need extra love at home today so I’m going to make pizza :)
