Soil programmer and code pruner. Gratitude is one of the most powerful tools you have. Liberty over freedom. Community is security. The antidote to fear is confidence.

If you're growing outdoor, they should be flowering. They'll always need some nitrogen, but too much will decrease the flower production.

If you're growing indoor, and they're still in the vegetative phase, load them up with the stinky fish stuff.

Unless you're growing indoor, you don't want to give them much nitrogen at this point in the season. Having said that, Alaska is a good brand for quick nitrogen uptake.

If there are any left, let them sit a week longer. The sweet/malty flavor might have converted into more alcohol.

Most of my home batches were finished right when they started to taste "good enough for distribution" 🤣

It looks healthy to me.

The real question is, "How does it taste?".

Is it high on the Drinkability Scale?

Can you taste notes from the grain(s) and hops?

I've been using Nostr for over two years. I still have no idea what I'm doing. Welcome to the protocol!

I start reading your note.

Trickster trolls load content above your note, pushing your note off my screen.

I scroll back to your note, finish reading, and opt to reply.

While replying, I go to my browser to copy a URL.

When I return, your note is not visible, and my feed is reloading.

I search my feed for your note, but the Trickster Trolls are hiding it from me, and there's no way to force it to load.

I open a different client and find out people have been replying to my notes that the other client never notified me of.

I start making replies and forget about replying to your note.

For the next two weeks, each time my feed loads, I am presented with your note, only to watch it get burried in recent content when the feed finishes its update.

I paste the URL into a note, tag your name, and type, "I can't remember why I thought you might need this."

And that's how Nostr works! 😀

Centralized social media interfaces suck so much, that I'm still elated while using Nostr.

From the Haven README, it is stated that downloading the pre-built binaries is recommended.

The link "Download Haven Releases" immediately below takes me to a page with two links to files named "Source code".

Is "UX Designers" being difficult to read intentional irony?

Most people don't realize that there are 50's and 60's versions of The Italian Job and The Fast And Furious.

When I saw the first Mission Impossible movie, I was slightly disappointed. It did harken back, but seemed to be missing something I couldn't put my finger on.

Did you get these at a good price? I think my local store is ripping me off.

Nevermind. I assume you're talking about KYC requirements, which was never required for the majority of centralized chat group programs.

That's what I read. I'm not sure how valid it is. The inventor was a Mattel employee, and making the radio at home. After making Silly Puddy, he brought it in to work to see of it could be a toy.

A friend just reached out to me with this story which I immediately added to my book.

"Yet even more heartbreaking is watching this programming install in real-time through modern parenting approaches. Recently, a friend witnessed this cycle perpetuating itself during a simple encounter. He was with a couple and their young child who was crying in a stroller. When he instinctively offered to comfort the distressed baby, the mother refused, explaining she didn't want to create an "attachment"—that responding to crying would teach the child to "manipulate" adults.

My friend was shocked but didn't know how to respond. The mother had likely been raised the same way—taught that you don't "spoil" children, that you need to "break" them so they don't control their parents through their needs. She was following parenting rules designed to create independence through systematic disconnection.

That baby was learning in real-time: "When I'm distressed, no one comes. My needs don't matter. I'm alone in my suffering. Love is conditional on my behaviour." The fundamental disconnect → worthlessness → programming cycle was being installed before our eyes.

The tragic irony? The mother believed she was being a good parent, following expert advice to create a "strong, independent" child. In reality, she was unconsciously transmitting the same abandonment trauma she'd likely experienced, genuinely believing it would help her child thrive. This is how the generational cycle perpetuates—hurt people hurting people while trying to do the right thing."

My mom was raised this way. Shortly after I was born, I was in my crib, and started crying. My mother continued her work, and didn't "reward" me for crying.

My dad came into the room with a "What are you doing?", and picked me up. I stopped crying immediately. My mom's programming had been broken as she realized that I just needed to be loved.

Posting before I've woken up almost always results in typos. It doesn't help that I'm in pain and haven't slept. 😜

My mistake. You want to be part of the reason. 😜 Have you tried using Shipyard?

This isn't specific to Graphene, it's just how the app was designed. I have the same semi-random behavior.

What really bites is when you're in the middle of typing a note, go to your browser to get a link, or copy other info, then return to a loading feed.

This is a defect that removes user data (in the note creation scenario). The places I've worked would consider this a critical "show stopper" defect. Storing your last state locally could solve this, but "local storage" seems to be forbidden for Amethyst devs.

We're nowhere near the "customer hostility" that I experienced in Russia 15 years ago.

Is that different than a normal dash (which can also be depicted by two hyphens)?

There are multiple correct answers for this.

When I've introduced people, I've encouraged/recommended mostly:

1. * Be aware of "set and setting". *

Be with friends (not required), in a familiar and safe environment. I like spontaneity, however, it's best to have certain factors "controlled" for your first experiences. For example, if there's someone that you don't trust, you won't want them around. For similar reasons, it's probably best to avoid the general public. Being in nature will always be better than a populated city/town. I can't stand cars in motion when I'm tripping. Trees are much more fun to deal with.

Have "implements of creativity" at the ready. Musical instruments, paints, paper, writing insteuments, etc.

TV/movies usually deadens my trips. I don't grok people that trip, then stare at any type of screen for more than a few minutes. Fractal making software blew my mind, so screens aren't something to avoid, but lean toward abstractness, compared to stories with a plot.

2. Set an intention!

This is important whether you're tripping for fun or therapy. Have a clear intention of what you want out of the experience, and state it out loud as you partake. This has tremendous power, so it might be good to define the day beforehand.

3. Enjoy, observe, and learn!
