True. But hopefully we will all have the opportunity to pass on our Freedom virtues to the next generations who will carry that torch 🔥

Unfortunately I was “very late” to Bitcoin… but in the broader perspective we are all very, very early.

Good nothing morning, #nostriches!

Today I'm going to write about some lessons I've learned about running a wood stove over the last few months.

1. The first fire of the kicking morning is not about warming yourself up. It is about warming up your chimney/flue. This is essential for a good draft, especially in colder weather. The temperature differential in the flue vs. Out of the flue creates the pressure differential that drives the whole system.

2. I use more kindling than most to get the fire going quickly and I I have learned to arrange the wood and coals so that most of the time, I don't need anything else to get the fire really going, especially with the mind to get the secondary air system heated up as quickly as possible in order to ensure the stove heats up into its best efficiency range as quickly as possible. Thus, I use less wood overall to achieve this.

3. Running your wood stove takes time to fiddle and learn. I read a bunch. I experimented. My dad never did that and has been loosing out on a lot of heat over the years because he didn't take the time to understand modern wood stoves and how they are supposed to be run.

4. Different types of wood need vastly different airflow rates to burn optimally, and this affects the temperature that is optimal for the that type of wood. Don't be afraid to run things hotter that the generic indicators may suggest, as long as you aren't hearing the stove up past the recommendations from the manufacturer.

I'm sipping tea before I head out to the fiat mine again. (Walmart, until my second fiat mining job starts next month.)

Have a good day, all!

GM! Wood heat is wonderful. Thanks for sharing

I found that adding a lot of thermal mass to a greenhouse can help buffer out some of my human foibles and inattentiveness

Why am I not surprised? 🙄

Why are we needing to #MAHA when we obviously hold the record for the most people living past 100?! 🤪

It almost feels like it’s not about health but control 🤔

Oh well, gotta trust the Science™️

Interesting 🧐

Sometimes it takes me 2-5 tries before a zap goes through

Wasn’t sure if it was a Nostr issue or a lightning issue

I run into this all the time.

It Means that while lightening is awesome technology we’ve got some development work to do to scale it 🫂

^ok, not my most nuanced take but its pithy and it rhymes 😅
