Chickens free ranging in olive groves lay great eggs, fertilise the soil, restore biodiversity and keep the cash flow. going when olives are on alternate fruiting

A beautiful autumn day to be a free range chicken in an olive grove #Spain

#asknostr Can bots set up a full nostr profile with Nostr address and wallets linked to their account. Asking for a friend!

Not a nefarious friend, just trying to work out if Nostr has the layers to provide definitive proof of a human existence and excludes bots from doing the same.

Could a bot run for President?!

At last some groundcover recovering. It's been so dry for a couple of years, but a few downpours the last month has started to pay off. It only grows when it has a reason to grow, right!

What is the most barebones Nostr app you can think of, so that when I send a newbie to sign up, they don't think "Nostr is ..."

By that I mean, the focus is so much on social media. Newbies finding Nostr via Twitter or on youtube etc are almost pre-programmed to think "Nostr is social media", which is not the reality, it's a whole fricking internet in the making.

So I want my (go to iris.to) instructions to be:

- Go to "nostr-no-name" (little clue what Nostr is)

Add a nym

Press Go!

Settings > Keys - Copy the key pair into a password manager

- Open browser settings

Search for getalby

Install

Add key pair.

That's the trouble with thinking aloud on the internet :) Sorry for barging in :)

Absolutely. Plant your first veg garden as close to your house as possible. And don't stop having ideas, write them down, but learn to prioritise them.

I think the recipient of your "donation" has to be able to offer you a gift aid type option to give you something the taxman views as a write off.

Mystery solved. Thought I had an egg eater, been checking nest boxes several times a day, no joy until just now.

Seem that one of the flock has a mega calcium deficiency issue. This egg is paper thin, so been breaking on laying.

Will chuck in some more shell but it's only one not an underlying nutrition issue. Always something.

Been thinking about your points. Deep.

By comparison my opening words sounded glib, not my intention.

Long carried the weight of seeing, feeling what colonialism is all about.

I do and I don't recommend all young people from the rich west spend a long time living in places where the boot is on the other foot.

It is recommended and fulfilling and grounding while you are immersed, but a curse when you return to the rich man's shores.

Like those repeated words, memories and experiences can't be unseen. It has been a constant struggle to live and listen to ones contemporaries completely oblivious to reality outside the bubble.

Malice towards the benefactors of colonialism, it's "us". That isn't fair on me not good for the soul.

Malice towards the mega powers keeping colonialism 2 0 going, my stand is I will never have a good word to say about monarchies and more useful, I will always stand on the side of those fleeing the effects of colonialism.

I think as immigration gets "worse" the everyday person here will start to grasp the truth and see through the propaganda and the lies. And then they can live with the uncomfortable truth and try weave a path accordingly!

Yeah, the hijos are big enough. The originals must have been something.

I know, I know, it's a cat pic. But I never had any time for cats, especially when this little sucker, as a kitten, crept into my bed and shat just by my left ear. We had words and it's been rosy ever since.

I've mellowed and she's a "campo cat" outside all year and follows me round like a dog, almost into the town sometimes. Freaks my daughter out, should we take her home, Dad... The cat's more savvy than some of the people in town.

The cat never complains, raised two small litters before the op to save us all from the trials of another litter. I must be getting old and sentimental.

I recall a saying about your attitude to animals says a lot about how you are with people. oh well, I hope nobody takes it the wrong way when I tickle them under the chin.

These trees could tell a few stories

My current health plan is:

-Eat real nutrient dense foods.

-Intermittent fast for 12–16 hours per day. Vibes based. And sometimes go multi-day.

-Go for long walks or bike rides in the sun daily. Touch grass and do stuff. Often you can combine this with business meetings.

-Sprint a couple times per week.

-Do cold plunges a couple times per week. Seriously, this seems easy to skip and it’s hard. But if you want to triple dopamine levels for the working day without later downsides, putting yourself in freezing water is the thing.

-Do some squats and pushups. And then deadlift your own body weight for several reps.

-Even then you’ll potentially fail. This isn’t one of those meme posts. I used to be utterly ripped in my competitive martial arts days in my late teens until my mid twenties. But then I got distracted, mainly due to a broken leg and lack of direction. Over the past several Covid years, I’ve weakened, and had trouble hiking mountains. I still have visible abs but they feel fake now. But I focus on a couple things amid my crazy work, which I have ingrained now. The first is intermittent fasting. It literally fixes all my other errors as a baseline. I can fuck up for a year and not gain weight because I only eat in 6 or 8 hour windows. Or even 10 hours. The rest of the time trains the body to burn fat. Next is I do a reasonable baseline of pushups, squats, and sprints per week. Nobody can make me choose to. It’s just my baseline. Last is I do a lot of squats and bicycling to keep my leg muscles interested, which have been mediocre. So if a new martial arts leader has a plan, I’m happy to listen.

You are on a good trajectory. The appeal of intermittent fasting/proper food mix is you can screw up one day and it really doesn't matter. Just dust down and get back to it. Ideal :)

Found this picture of the last olive harvest. I don't know if you can see, but the trees could not have found room for one more drop of fruit. It was literally mad. So the trees need a breather big time. More accurately,they have taken a breather, I have no say in the matter:)

Pomegranate bush grown from seed. Started in a pot and transplanted into not very good soil. Native and took well.
