When I was a kid, I was taught that Sweden rises 1cm each year.
I was also taught that H2O takes up more space in ice form than in liquid form.
So, whenever I've heard people claiming the ice cap will melt and flood the earth, it's never made any sense.
Also, having grown up with 3+ feet of snow all over the place, that melts each year, sure, some creeks will flood, but no where close to the amount of snow.
Just got this message. The reply is me trying to be blunt 🤣🤣 how did I do 😇🤣
I didn't do any physical exercises today, but this cat is a great visual of how I'm feeling after today 😅🤣
Waking up to Zaps is one of my favorite things. It shows that even if I'm sleeping, other people are awake and finding my thoughts more valuable than their bitcoin.
Thank you all!
Cool! Thank you, now I know 😎
Throught my life, I have tended to end up in groups of mostly men.
Makes sense I'm on Nostr 🤣😎
It's interesting how the government wants your money in taxes, unless you give your money to a charity.
Just as long as you don't keep the money yourself, they seem happy 🤔🤨
Out of all the social networks I'm aware of, I think Nostr is the one with the most committed husbands. It's also the one with the most committed fathers.
This is a refreshing place to be, even if not many wife's are on here.
No, I'm actually pointing out that depending on who is in charge, different things are considered deportable offenses. It used to be by calling a man a man, but now apparently it's about being negative aniit Israel. I'm more aligned with the current administration, so that's why I feel safer right now.
But I do think there is a difference in how one conducts themselves as well. A greencard isn't citizenship, and they have the right to revoke it. If I leave the country for more than 6 months, I risk losing it. If I don't ask for permission to be out of the country for a specific reason and leave for 2 years, it's automatically canceled.
I can't vote, and I still need to adhere to American laws.
A marriage greencard means I only need to wait 3 years before I can become a citizen, while it's 5 years for all other greencards.
The current Administration doesn't want people here who don't like America, but I do like America, so yes, I feel safer, but I'm not bragging.
Funny and sad at the same time! 🤣
Thank you. Yeah, we are both naturally pretty bbrave. I went to Mongolia on the transibirian railroad with 2 people I'd met for a week 6 months earlier when I was 17. It was a missions trip, but still. I wasn't nervous then, so traveling through America now is pretty easy.
We do avoid actual dangerous areas though. We had to drive through Chicago once, but the only stop we did was at red lights and in rush traffic 🤣
I like my life, and I don't like pain, so as long as those are likely to be intact/avoided, I'm up for most adventures 😎
We've been in both and no thank you. The driver's in Tennessee are crazy and oblivious to other cars, and I like to be alive 😅
Texas is really flat, and humid, and not really for us.
Plus, my husband's family is all on the west coast, and we want some distance, but preferably 1-2 days drive and not 3+, and we got land in AZ for $5000, and we don't do debt, so for that reason it's great!
Also, AZ are at least contemplating a bitcoin reserve, so that's pretty cool.
Yes, we can only make enough to barely survive in our town, so we went to the big city just over 3h away, where we can make over $200 per day if we put the effort in, but that also has coffee shops where I can hangout and work on book projects and be in AC while my husband suffers in 90f+ temps in our van without AC 😅
I used to think something like unexpected expenses might come up where the newly earned money might need to be directed to my future kids.
I'm pretty sure our van is that kid 🙄 we have a goal and we work hard (by "we" I mean my husband works while I tag along and write on Nostr 😇) and then we make a chunk, and then the van wants something.
The latest being how we were not expecting the insurance to go UP by like $400 when transferring OUT of California. Registration was so easy and cheap, that the insurance prices left us dumbfounded!
I'm having a hard time writing on my book, so I'm writing on Nostr instead.
It won't get the book finished and published any faster, but my words are instantly "published" with the potential of getting paid for them, so... basically samesies?! 😬😅😇😎 🤣🤣🤣
So, as long as I don't go I to that topic, I'll be fine? Good to know. Not that I'd be getting into that type of topics anyways 🤗
If they deported people who thought men are men and women are women, I'd be in bigg trouble, but this administration knows that's well, so I think I'll be okay... plus I'm Swedish and don't have an accent when I speak, and married to a citizen, so those things speak to being less noticable by deporters. 😎
We did get stopped once by border patrol, in mid November, between Phoenix and Kingman Az, and some lady came walking up on the side of our van, knocking on it or something and kinda yelling/hollering in Spanish, and we were both like, excuse me, what are you saying?!
She ended up looking at my greencard like a week after I recieved it,and then they let us go. Oh and some male voice had asked what was in the back, and my husband answered Solarpanels, cause we had a stack inside,as well as a bunch on top, with a CA license plate.
Now our van is incognito without solar panels, and with a local license plate 😎
Oh I see. Was there any reason they jailed him/her, or just that the person wasn't a citizen?
Well, if they didn't go through the process to get in, why go through a process to leave? 😅
I went through the process and it's hard, but worth it.
