Is Oscar Merry of Fountain on Nostr? I can't find him and I have a question why all clients except Fountain recognise my browser extension. Im running out of tunes to whistle while the wheel of death keeps spinning at login page. Fountain is ace btw, I can wait.

Looking at egg timers, as you do. We have come a long way. Found one from the 60's, the classic hour glass, calibrated for 3 minutes and 2 seconds. Never realised my boiled eggs and soldiers as a kid were so precisely prepared. Those old folks could teach us a thing or two!

And now you can get wind up egg-timers, equally fascinating.

And an egg-shaped pod that you drop in the pan and they change colour as the eggs go through soft, medium to hard. Not sure about that one, if you wear glasses, you are going to steam up checking progress.

Personally, I'm a "take it as it comes" boiled egg eater these days. Although everyone else says my eggs definitely taste better, I can't really tell the difference any more because I never eat shop bought.

However, whenever I do eat a boiled egg I am immediately transported back to childhood, watching Spiderman cartoons and dunking soldiers often burnt to a crisp, because my mother didn't have a toaster time.

Probably Nostr 101 but how can I find a conversation between me and another npub, if I know the approximate date

Over the years I have seen many new roads in rural areas run alongside varying degrees of remains of original tracks. The minor roads aren't necessarily defunct. Travelling through France or Spain, unless you are loaded or in a hurry, secondary roads are very useful

Sign me up for that:)

If you are thinking of getting some chickens for their eggs, I suggest 8 ad a sweetspot number. naddr1qqxnzdejxsergdpexgmrzv3sqgs8ksa3ewj00rvwdp9grgx0tlx5laq7pvryzxaggrt8tj4mncx5tgcrqsqqqa28epaq93

"They say" if every third home had a few chickens, factory farms would be gone tomorrow. A little idealistic, but you get the idea.

Modern intensive animal farming is such a fiat construct. Ignore the billions of hectares of land that could flourish if animals were around fertilsing and disturbing the soil. Instead get in as many tractors as you can outside, while cramming as many animals into an interior space as possible, be that a cage, a pen or soft-focus barn.

But keeping such a density of life healthy is no easy task. It creates problems that need solutions that generate economic activity that ushers in other problems.

Just think how many vets are prescribing all sorts of products that keep hens from keeling over, but the medications stay in the animal and pass through to the animals that consume it, mainly homo sapiens.

Or behind the scenes, you may not be aware of the literal shit show going on to store, and dispose of effluent. The expense, the processes, the nonsense to keep it out of the water supply, often unsuccessfully. Madness.

And consider the side effects on human health as we are drilled to eat three square meals a day (or in Spain, eat something 5 times a day!) On top of that constant food craving, we are sold ever less nutrient dense comestible "stuff" to sate those cravings. It seems we don't eat to feel literally full, we eat until we have enough micronutrients to meet our body's needs. So we have to eat so much more than our ancestors to find those nutrients, and so we get obese, and so it goes on.

This circle can only be broken by backyard chickens. I'm kidding, but you get the idea. Start somewhere.

Last night I offered a simple tip about walking on gravel to assess your gait.

What stage is the moon at tonight, and do you know where it is in the heavens now, without looking?

GN.

It has to be said, Nostr folks are so helpful and positive and encouraging. Much to share, shining lights on so many rabbit holes, stimulating, eye-opening.

I'm sure the tone of any network is set by the earliest adopters and if they refuse to budge on their principles, whoever follows is going to feel that vibe.

It's very obvious with forums that the tone is set by the owner. I was in an industry where the forums were animal houses. Owners setting up threads designed to provoke arguments. I set up a forum, called it a reading room, it got quite busy and I literally never had to moderate a thing. People just came along and saw there was no BS and vacuous lol comments , just great info and obligingly adopted that mode.

I will let you know, thanks very much for the gesture. Although it's eggs for sats, I need the chickens alive!

As Michael Saylor says, inflation is a vector so your inflation rate will vary! Im looking at charging 15% above the BTC price for fiat customers.

In principle, since 2017, Google's terms explicitly say they do not scan emails for ad targeting. https://www.theverge.com/2017/6/23/15862492/google-gmail-advertising-targeting-privacy-cloud-business But they do have a long list of 3rd parties who they vet (and then don't police) who have access to read emails https://mashable.com/article/google-reading-your-emails-response

Google say they can scan emails for "security purposes".

So, screw Google every which way. Much easier to delete the whole empire from your digital life than play their game of whackamole trying to find the right combination of settings to be shielded from their invasions of privacy. And if there is such a combination, you can bet they will move the goalposts to make sure they still have a way in.

As KArnage says, It's the Nostr Address name verifier that is another layer of proof of who is the real you in that list of impersonators

8 chickens, a sweet spot for a backyard flock

To be precise, healthy hens will each provide you with 0.82 eggs per day average over the year! That is about 4 dozen eggs a week from 8 healthy hens. That yield covers a lot of scenarios.

Talk about slowly, slowly suddenly. Yesterday #Proton released encrypted notes/doc sharing, which is a huge deal to get off of Evernote and any OS notes apps that auto sync to snoop doggy dog Googles or Apples.

Today Proton have their bitcoin wallet up and running. Shame I can't see a Lightning option to go with their one-click email sending option, but I am sure that will come.

And now #Fountain App have just filled my inbox with glorious news that they are now a Nostr client.

This is visionary times.

It feels like everything in my workflow is getting encrypted now!! Thank god for Password Managers.

#asknostr But is there an obvious hole in the plan, an obvious weak spot.

Even PDFs have been added to the current list. https://www.tomsguide.com/how-to/how-to-password-protect-a-pdf-on-mac

Proton mail, Drive, Calendar. Proton Docs, what a gem.

VPN

Whatsapp is encrypted by default and now my archives on Google Drive are too.

I hesitate to password protect the passwords to keys on Amber signer. Seems a bit much!

That's a very inspiring article. I'm on that path. Accepting BTC is not a marketing gimmick, it's how a business has to be, else it's really not worth being in a business in a system designed to suck you in and suck you dry through inflation and bankers. Fiat is accelerating us along a road to nowhere. Yuk.

Hi, very interested by your honey for sats initiative. What's the deal with the #420 order? When I scale up an egg enterprise I will be focused on orange and purple-pilling my customers, hence curious for any clever angles you have found.

I'm at charging top rate for fiat, offering discounts for BTC. And to get them to follow me on Nostr, so I can message them and keep them informed of progress with the farm, I am going to offer a small discount or maybe bonus "special eggs" .

aesthetically your blueberry syrup looks fantastic. I'll skip the ice cream, waffles and pancakes, if you don't mind. Straight into a vein will do me.
