Follower of Christ. Defender of liberty. Aspiring cypherpunk. Atypical homesteader. Nostr only, mostly because I had already dropped everything else as a toxic mess.

Who thought Steak and shake would be the ones ushering in the future. What an odd timeline. Also loving that they have beef tallow fries 😇

Published almost 8 years ago, this fictional dystopian short film about autonomous drones is eerily prescient

I’ve been feeling uncharacteristically bitter and cynical lately 😔

If you’re low time preference, you’re already planting for this fall

This past month I’ve been gorging myself on satirical and dark humor writings. Loving this deep dive into Kurt Vonnigut and Joseph Heller.

Who else would you recommend I read?

Great answer!

I have an OXO glass dish that I use 3-4 times a week in a hotlogic cooker and another glass container set I use for everything else. So much better than plastic crap!

Great call on the shoes! Anything that can be resoled is a great candidate. I don’t own any AE but I have some leather shoes Thursday Boots that I love and think will last me a very long time.

I love the solid wood furniture suggestion! A thick, quality kitchen table is a fantastic heirloom piece

#BuyItForLife aka #BIFL is a fantastic concept for anyone who values their time, life energy, and #SoundMoney

Treating most things as disposable is a very #Fiat mentally

What are a few of your favorite pieces of gear that are built to last a lifetime?

A few of mine that I’ve used essentially everyday for over a decade:

A GoRuck backpack

A leather belt and leather wallet from Hanks Belts

I’m pretty sure Bugle News is a satire site.

I can’t believe this is the best way forward.

I’m like 2,000 miles from ‘home’ today but— what a world we live in

This sounds catastrophic 🫣🤣

If you have people in your life with whom you’re close enough that you can form a “alert circle” in a time of chaos or crisis, you’re doing pretty well 🤗

~2,500 years later and still almost no one understands reality

How hard it is to see beyond the shadows!
