Just a regular guy trying to build a self reliant life, if the state would just leave me alone.

There's the occasional odd bod and bot attack, but otherwise it is.

If you want to find like minded folks follow hashtags on those subjects and put hashtags in your notes.

Another tip is to put them after any photos or include them in the note.

And questions just #asknostr and we'll help where wil can 👍🏻

Definitely a case of someone watching the same movie on a different screen 🤷

There are things from the past we enjoy based on our prefrences. And things now based on practicality..

I enjoy taditional woodworking and crafts because they force me to slow down. I'm currently watching some Mr chicadee videos.

For the present i enjoy the fact i can do that because of the abundance of cheap energy, and i have a micro PC/phone i can use to tell you that. I also like penicillin and pain medications.

I guess im trying to say, live the kind of life you want to enjoy.

We must do better than this. Without being glib or platitudinous, there is obvious value in rigorous analysis of history, especially recent history, and in the distillation of lessons about what worked, what went wrong and why policies succeeded or failed.

The past can offer us useful experience and shortcuts in our learning processes; when the Falklands crisis erupted unexpectedly in 1982, Margaret Thatcher consulted her aged predecessor as prime minister, 88-year-old Harold Macmillan, about managing a conflict. Drawing on his experience in Churchill’s wartime government and during the Suez crisis, he advised her to assemble a small “war cabinet” in which HM Treasury should not be represented.

This was created in the form of OD(SA), the Cabinet Defence and Overseas Policy Sub-Committee on the South Atlantic and Falkland Islands, and consisted of the prime minister, the foreign, home and defence secretaries, the attorney-general, the chief of the Defence Staff and the chairman of the Conservative Party. No Treasury ministers were involved, and the chancellor, Sir Geoffrey Howe, later said it was “like being on sabbatical”.

A few years ago, Sir Anthony Seldon proposed that each government department should have “an active historian advising ministers on historical precedent”, and there should be a “chief historian” alongside the chief scientific adviser, the national statistician and other experts. This luminary would “oversee the steady supply of accurate historical information to the prime minister and his key advisers, with the power and confidence to challenge them”.

Well, there's an idea if we ever get round to changing the current system of governance..🤔

Inspiing people to think and appreciate the environment around them is very, very useful imo...👍🏻

Before the 2020 election trump floated the idea of banning tic tok.

After he lost he activly called for its ban and a law telling the owners, (bitdance or tencent i dont remember which) to sell its US subsidiary to a US company passed through both houses of US lawmakers.

Now He's won in 2024, partily due to tic tok's use by GenZ, he doesn't want to ban it.

I'd better start stacking sats hard... 😁
