Sorry, I just don’t get paying/getting paid for supporting Palestine— seems gross to me
Pandora’s Star by Peter Hamilton — one of the few sci-fi novels I’ve read in the past 10 years, and I loved it so o be much
TLDR: no more smart watch data harvesting back to basics this year. nostr:nprofile1qqsqfjg4mth7uwp307nng3z2em3ep2pxnljczzezg8j7dhf58ha7ejgprpmhxue69uhhqun9d45h2mfwwpexjmtpdshxuet5qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnswf5k6ctv9ehx2aqpr9mhxue69uhhxetwv35hgtnwdaekvmrpwfjjucm0d5klqft7 is right smart watches are just another tracker and data collector harvesting your info to sell.
So for Christmas my present was the new version of a Casio protrek watch. I had tried a Garmin the previous year. While the functionality is great it just isn't my thing.
I've been working on improving my privacy practices and it was just another tracking beacon with an account tied to it. I didn't put all the demographic information into the account correctly or at all. Still it collected data on me for a year.
Needless to say back to an analog/digital dumb watch for me. Main thing I wanted it for was the barometer and compass function. I can just estimate the rest of the information I got from it.

Not being snarky, built don’t get why anyone would wear any kind of watch these days …
The sci fi part would be Lyn having any spare time — at least that what it looks like from the outside…
Each autumn, we migrate south to Patagonia – not just for its untamed beauty, but as a testament to sovereign living. The unspoiled wilderness speaks a language our souls understand.
We've established our own 'node' along a deep blue river there. It's more than a camp; it's our proof-of-work for harmonious, self-reliant existence. Where nature and personal sovereignty intersect.
Everything we have onsite needs to be floated in across the river.
Water, the lifeblood of any camp. With the help of a great friend, we built running water systems and reservoirs to sustain all the water needs of our camp.
In this digital age, even the wilderness needs a connection. We bridged worlds by setting up Starlink internet access for remote work and communications purposes. Starlink = Game changer
We built a crow's nest hideaway nestled in the trees. Yoga spot, thinking perch, great spot to chill after a plunge in the river.
Our crown jewel: a geodesic dome tent. Light enough to float across the river, yet durable enough to withstand Patagonia's temperamental weather.
We sourced materials locally and repurposed what we could.
The milled oak was beautiful but heavy. We pivoted to galvanized steel framing for the base, a reminder of staying flexible and to search for solutions through technology gains.
Most of our interior beams came from river driftwood, collected and floated to camp. Nature's discards became our treasures.

A wood stove for warmth, electric wiring for light, and running water for comfort. Simple luxuries that make a world of difference in the backcountry.
This project is our commitment to a new way of living – one that respects both natural law and individual sovereignty and a “camp” that is robust enough to host our friends, family, and more!
What months do you consider to be autumn?
Reminds me of an e.e. Cummings children’s book The Elephant and the Butterfly. It is an amazing book despite the fact (or maybe because) nothing really happens
I just got my wallet working so yours will be my first received zap. TIA
U.S. sanctions had nothing to with that? I don’t know the full story of what’s going on there, but if I see the U.S. against the government of a country that just coincidentally happens to have the world’s largest oil reserves, I’m not going to fall in line against any opposition without a lot more evidence.
jerks! We’ll try to put them in their place…
Definitely Proabable that this post is going to work
