Happy Candlemas, everyone!

I agree, never seen anyone change their mind in a debate. But many times, I've seen people change their minds, myself included, when having an amicable discussion with caring people that were patient and had different perspectives.

DIFFICULT! Doing a carnivore challenge with nostr:npub1u2vu695j5wfnxsxpwpth2jnzwxx5fat7vc63eth07dez9arnrezsdeafsv right now, this next week we're cutting high carb veggies.

Hey nostr:npub18m76awca3y37hkvuneavuw6pjj4525fw90necxmadrvjg0sdy6qsngq955 my mute list works, but I still get notifications from muted npubs

I had the same issue on Primal, but it cleared up when I restarted the app

GM, rainy day here. 2 inches in the last 24 hours, and it looks like we've 12 hours more rain today.

We sell around half to herdshare members ($7/gallon), which pays for the feed, hay, chicken feed, and garden seeds. The other half we keep goes to butter, yogurt, mozzarella, sour cream, and occasionally ice cream. We used to make farmhouse cheddar, too, but the second wine frig didn't keep it cool enough, and it's all fairly sour, so we stick to mozzarella now. We skim the cream for butter, then used the skimmed milk for the mozzarella.

It's a great life, isn't it? Our cow is approaching 3 years of solid milking after giving birth to her last calf. This last year, she averaged 4 gallons per day (15L), and she's started to slow a bit, so we're getting 3.5 gallons (13L) per day now. We love having all the fresh butter, cream, yogurt and mozzarella.

We all tend to live in echo chambers because it's less effort, less discomfort, less stress.

Scripture has a similar but slightly different take. Proverbs 12:26, Proverbs 13:20 and 1 Corinthians 15:33 all recommend surrounding yourself with good people, people who will challenge you and help you grow, but who won't lead you astray. This is the advice I take; it seems to be the wiser path.
