Not presidential or super.

Hard to say. How old is it? It looks like it is flexed pretty well between the pump and the tank. Maybe when it was heated to go onto the insert fitting it got stretched thin. Even though it is plastic, that pipe sometimes will break or split. Not too common, but it does happen.

I'm getting a taste for what it's like being outside the system.

Yesterday I found out that if you aren't currently insured, car insurance rates in Spain start from point Xero, treated as a new teen driver.

Next step down from that, just been told I'm lucky to be able to pay astronomical rate because most insurers aren't even prepared to insure me.

For context I have had a full licence since 1982 in 3 different countries never had a serious accident, and according to official tables of accident rate demographics, Im in almost the safest age bracket for insurers. But I haven't had a car for 4 years...

I live off grid so you don't get post or courier service. A simple solution, you set up a drop off point with a local post office or courier agent in town. Nowadays try buying off of Amazon type sites, so many products are flagged not able to be sent to drop off addresses. Need a home address. So I'm what, knocking on someone's door asking if they will accept my packages?

A word to Nostr, the open solution to walled gardens. Try setting up a lightning wallet to work with some apps - limited drop down options are creeping in.

You can push back on Nostr. There's no point screaming at legacy insurance companies or e-commerce sites. But the sooner open minded companies move into every legacy space the better. Because this is developing into a road to nowhere, pay to play, massive exclusion and growing anger at faceless companies - and I still need to drive and I still need the products I can't get delivered.

You’re not off the grid. You’re on Nostr!

Look at that mullet! The Pennsylvania Farm Show in Harrisburg this week has a mullet contest.

Good eye! You are correct! We did not rough in the plumbing. The outlet in the wall is about 21" above the floor, a height I use for bathroom lavs. Kitchen sinks I usually set about 15" above the floor. Because it is so high, the sink waste and trap are too low, so we had to install the trap backwards. The only other option is to cut the back of the cabinet and wall out, cut the tee out and lower it. That is much more work that most people do not want to do. There will be water sitting in that center waste outlet. As far as problems down the road, if there is a lot of food particles and grease and stuff that goes down, it will probably have issues, but in how long, it is hard to say.

I ran cross country too. Find somewhere pretty and calm to run and enjoy the tranquility. Or run with a friend. That was the funnest part of cross country, was just hanging out with friends while running. And if you find a hilly spot, run there and push up the hills. Then running anywhere else feels easy. Start slow. If you go out hard the first day, you get really sore and then it sucks.

I use Frankferd Farms for bulk grain, but they are not nationwide. Centered around somewhere in western Pennsylvania. They deliver out to Ohio, down to Maryland. A few hundred dollar order and they deliver for a reasonable price.

If anyone has tried to zap me in the last few days and it has failed, I found out my 3 year old has been pressing the power button on my node because “[he] likes to press the button.” I wondered why it kept turning off.

Will exchange plumbing services for bitcoin in south central Pennsylvania.

Correct. That’s what they have at the supply house. I think A is for those expansion fittings. I don’t know what kind the cat prefers.

Anyone know what’s going on with Joe Rogan podcasts on Fountain?
