The worst part is if you pay that mortgage off, in most states, you're still paying property taxes for things you don't benefit from. Though they claim it helps your property value. What if you want to live in that home for the rest of your life? Why would you care about property value? And, why would people want to buy a home with higher taxes?

Yet, if you don't pay the tax, they evict you from the home you paid off the mortgage on.

I use logseq + MarkText like that. Logseq provides the indexing for fast searches and let's you link anything with anything. But, I use MarkText for documents or when I want to work in raw markdown. And, I use them together, because the current version of Logseq is all markdown files you can open both from your filesystem and from within Logseq (open with external app).

I'm concerned about the next major release of Logseq, which will put it in a database. In theory, it will increase perf and scalability. But, my flow requires a lot of filesystem integration between tools, so I'm not sure that will work for me. But, the current Logseq 10.x is great with my current flow.

Trying to figure out how to create nice articles here. I love using #markdown.

Looking at one post, it looks very rendered from markdown. Looking at its raw data, sure enough, it has markdown headings, links and other things.

OK, so I created a test post with markdown. It then displays it, but as all literal, no conversion. Raw data looks like the article, all my markdown is in the content.

So, how do you use markdown to create a well formatted post?

Does markdown work in posts? Let's find out.

was a member since 1999. canceled in 2021. Haven't missed them once. There is so much free and better content online today.

That looks incredible! Love #foodporn

Beer, beer, and more #beer!

What app can I use to connect to Nostr on F-Droid? How come I can't find #iris on F-Droid, @Iris ?

What's your favorite #vape box?

Improving life is about developing new habits. Harvesting and planting your own #seeds is a nice step towards true freedom. Lettuce, green onions and kale are regulars now.

What can I say...

The economy sucks. Incomes are only about 30% of what you would make in the USA, fuel is almost 10x as expensive, and most imports are about 1x-2x as expensive. Most enterprising people (especially men) tend to leave New Zealand after school so they can make real money somewhere else such as Australia. Many of the men left are criminals, and the police do not have the gang situation very well under control. The women get to pick among these remaining criminals, which means the next generation is even more criminal than the last. I'm being very hyperbolic here. Luckily there aren't so many murders, but there is a lot of theft.

There are thousands of laws pushing an extreme version of affirmative action, many of which actually just give massive power to the heads of certain Iwi (tribes), and others give special treatment to people who claim to be of Maori descent, or pacific islander descent, but even though many of these have been in place since 1974 they seem to make no difference to the outcomes of those racial groups. You could call it institutionalized racism. The right-wing folk believe it is wrong, but kiwis can stomach quite a lot... it is not like white people are going to rise up and start a race war. But the population is getting sick of Labour so there is a good chance National will take power next.

The government is pretty ineffective at everything they try, so you can usually just ignore them.

The media are bought off. You can't trust them. But that is the same all around the world now. In every country (apparently) people have lower and lower trust of institutions. I think for good reasons. What I don't know is why the institutions have become so untrustworthy. I do not believe that it is just that their failings have become more visible, there is evidence that their behavior has deteriorated.

Among farm communities, people are as good as they come. It's great to get to know your neighbors and work together as a tight knit community.

Nuclear war will never come to New Zealand so that's reassuring. Neither will nuclear power ;-(

There is plenty of space, and lots of beautiful rugged and "deep bush" country.

There are no poisonous animals (except a beach spider) and no natural animals of size that could maul you. So the animal life is very safe.

There are a lot more earthquakes than in California, but I prefer lots of tiny earthquakes to fewer larger ones.

Most of the land is not good for cropping due to low phosphate and low sulfur (you would think volcanic activity would deposit sulfur, but nope) so the highest and best use of land is grazing of animals which is why we are famous for sheep and dairy exports.

I might be wrong on some of what I have said. This is off the top of my head.

Thank you for the breakdown. That is a very good summary.

I do have TG. I also get up with getalby.
