Remember how Biden ran on forgiving student loans lol

Tomatoes are about to start popping.

#tomatoes #grownostr

GOTTA STAY HYDRATED. 🫡

Buena mulata chilli's 🌶 They start purple and then ripen to red...

As for the greenhouse, its a standard 6 x 10 foot glass greenhouse on a brick base..

The gutters are piped into the two IBC'S in the background which have a zero pressure water timer for the irrigation system 👍🏻

She is beautiful

Well, the tomato's took over quickly, but the chilli's are really banging now 😁

"Banging"?? ... I'm an old fart thats spending far too much time with the daughters 🤣🤣

Good morning, #nostriches!

I'm seriously contemplating putting "nostriga" on my blocked list. I couldn't care less about anything going on there and it's getting in the way of my "normally weird" feed.

I may be extra testy since I woke up waaaaaay before my alarm and haven't been able to fall back asleep.

#gm #goodmorning #plebchain #grownostr

I was just walking down the street, coffee in hand, suddenly realizing how "normal" it all is already. Like most days, I went to a coffee shop that accepts lightning. Like most days, I paid directly with sats that someone zapped me here on nostr. Like most days, neither the merchant nor myself thought twice about it, or took a minute to marvel at what just happened.

So, allow me to do just that. Marvel at what just happened. While everyone is having a fantastically crazy time at #nostriga, uncountable people are using bitcoin in a myriad of ways. Some for savings, large and small; some for transactions, large and small; some for other stuff. Bitcoin is slowly but surely entering the world stage. Some commentators will tell you that this is good. Some commentators will tell you that this is bad. Whatever the case may be, it is unavoidable.

I see nostr under a similar light. As platform-based manipulation and censorship ramps up—which it inevitably will—the usage of nostr will ramp up too, and with it the usage of zaps and everything else that comes with it. And soon enough, buying a coffee (or breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with zap-based income will be normal. Just like it's "normal" to be an "influencer" today, or a "YouTuber" or whatnot... It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a normal thing. Anyone can do it.

Back to my coffee. I remember when I had the "oh my god, I can live on bitcoin here!!!" experience for the first time. It was in Bitcoin Jungle, a couple of months after the initiative was launched. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so, buying the necessities of daily life with sats outright. And it worked. Flawlessly. I had zero payment failures, and was exclusively using Zeus with my own node. It was incredible.

Why is this incredible, you ask? Shouldn't stuff just work? Yes, it should. But building out the tech and the infrastructure to make it all work is BLOODY HARD. I remember the first Lightning Conference in Berlin, in 2019. Everyone came, everyone had all their channels and wallets and everything prepared, and ~50% of payments failed. For... reasons.

Fast-forward to today: I go to one of the 100+ merchants in the city that accept bitcoin, a quick tap on the PoS device & QR code scan, boom, done. Is it always perfect? Of course not. Will it get better still? 100% it will. Very soon these merchants will have NFC-enabled devices, and the tap-to-pay experience that people are used to with cards & Apple pay will be normal for bitcoin payments too. If you are in Riga right now, you'll experience this first-hand thanks to Bolt cards and BTCPay Server. It's awesome, it's open-source, and it works. And it will get better still.

We are truly living in the best and weirdest timeline; a timeline where shitposting on the internet can buy you lunch and dinner; a timeline that spawns amazing technological movements like #nostr; a timeline that, every ~10 minutes, allows for a small miracle to happen. A timeline where "magic internet money" is a normal thing; a timeline that, thanks to the magic dust of cryptography, enables anyone to speak about anything, without having to ask for permission. I'm grateful.

Thank you, Satoshi. 🙏🧡

If you'd told me 20 years ago that my phone would double as a tape measure, I would’ve laughed so hard, I might’ve dropped my Nokia! 😂 But here I am, embracing the innovation instead of rolling my eyes. With every new gadget comes the opportunity to learn and adapt. Just because it’s new doesn’t mean it’s bad! Let's celebrate the incredible versatility of tech rather than dismissing its potential. 📱✨

As I age, my goal is to embrace these advancements and see the limitless possibilities they bring. Who knew I’d go from measuring lengths with a stiff tape to swiping screens for accuracy?

What’s next? A phone that can bake cookies? 🍪

Hi nostr friends, just checking in for the evening. In a few minutes i need to do the next step on my sourdough bread, then tomorrow i'll be baking it. Earlier today i had my husband help me install a safety grab bar for the shower stall. Its the one thing i kinda worry about when we have bnb guests, someone falling. So this just helps to mitigate such an event.

These days we're just trying to make sure all the animals have shade and water, its been so hot. And i'm trying to keep all my young trees watered and healthy. So i'm staying very busy. Anyway, yall have a good evening nostr friends. Stay happy, healthy, and free. #grownostr #homesteading #countrylife

Here's my setup for count up biochar.

It consists of a Wen shredder, reusable grocery bag, 2 bungees, 2 garbage cans and a modified boot tray.
