If they're not dates, I'm guessing dried peppers of some sort.
So beautiful
Meet Caspian Edward Lewis, who arrived in the early evening of Monday, Sept. 9th. He weighed 8lbs 2oz, and was 21Β½ inches long

Some big news! I took a mechanical engineering position at a local, family owned company (whom we know well and are related)!
So, if you do CNC work and need repairs or upgrades to your machines, be they mechanical, electrical, or software/controls, give me a DM. I'll get you connected, and we'll take good care of you.
Just in time for my first paycheck in the new position!
Just hold it right there for a week. I'll be right back. You are allowed to go lower, though.
No, you boosted via the #Fountain nostr client app and saw it on another nostr client app!
Unified online actions FTW!
What I don't get is how being in-tune with the wife's cycle could be anything but sane.
Really want a "Mute Thread" feature nostr:npub16c0nh3dnadzqpm76uctf5hqhe2lny344zsmpm6feee9p5rdxaa9q586nvr
The hellthread hasn't really been a thing for awhile, and God willing will never be again, so it may already be the case that those already get muted. A similar solution could be in the works.
What if the real price trajectory would have been 2% deflation instead of the 2% inflation they aim at but exceed? It used to be (pre-1971) that things got cheaper with economic progress, not more expensive.
The basic human currency is trust.
If you trust your friend or family member to return favors and regard you with goodwill, money is not necessary.
Money is what extends trust to strangers, because by giving money in exchange, they promise good will be returned.
Money is information about good done to and for others. It is a substitute for trust and goodwill. It does not replace trust, but extends it. Fundamentally, to trade money is to say the money is trustworthy and said trust may be borrowed by the counterpart in trade.
When money becomes untrustworthy in a society that has greatly relied upon it, that society breaks down. Only when society fixes the money will it recohere.
I would agree that we have a lot of fake stuff all over the internet, but it's heavily mixed. I don't know about 70-90%, but maybe the 80-20 rule is in terms of attention rather than actual volume of content; that, I believe already.
The MSM, including the tech giants de facto, push a narrative that keeps the people atomized and out of close knit community, because friendship is the opposite of tyranny. Brother against brother, father against son: if they can divide us, they will, because that makes us weak, and a weak proletariat is a controllable one.
The solution is real, in-person community. They can't fake human interaction.
Open source ones are fine, though. Forget Squarespace and Wix, but WordPress is pretty good. Plus, the client can make simple edits and add content, so you're not on the hook for tedious minor updates and such.
Oh! I need to remember this!
Cool! It had been a bit since I tried it, and I have to say, UI scaling has come a long way! Several years ago, 4K looked awkward, but it's basically a good a windows and macos, now.
Cars don't need computers. Give it a microcontroller with some FOSS running on it to tune performance, and maybe active traction. If self-driving is the future, we need an anonymized FOSS solution.
Advertisers don't need to know how much lead is in my foot or how close I follow, let alone all the rest of that privacy nightmare.
