I may be more bullish on nature than bitcoin and yes they are similar.

I am amazed in this dry arid climate how fungi survive and am doing what i can to support them through permaculture.

so it makes me happy to find another fungi pusher 🙂

thanks!

The second time I'm leaving a country, because they tightened the homeschooling regulation, and I was already on their radar. I mean, I love traveling, but having no choice doesn't feel so nice.

On the other hand, getting your ass kicked is an interesting way by the universe to give you a wake up call. Get your shit together and look for more adventure elsewhere! 🫡

Flashback, when I decided to leave the Canary Islands, because hiding was not an option for me:

I'm getting more and more nervous about unschooling at the place we live, as the governmental regulations are tightening and repression is getting worse. And I thought I'm alone, turns out, I'm not!

Pat Farenga is already the second time on my podcast, and this is for a reason. Let's call him one of the most important free schooling advocates. Check out his work HERE!

Having mixed results with trying to get my son to learn english.

The plan is having him play on duolingo, ranking is a nice metric to stimulate him to learn more... or so I thought.

Apparently he considers it as a stress, having to always reach a certain score not to get back to the previous level, his throughput has seriously declined with time. The 2x potions he gets from time to time are even an additional source of stress as he has to complete a lesson in a maximum time in order to get the bonus.

I was rewarding him by watching together a Spongebob episode after each training session, and we recently switched to Tuttle Twins, but it has not helped much.

Sto avendo risultati incostanti provando ad insegnare a mio figlio l'inglese.

Il mio programma era di farlo giocare con duolingo, siccome la classifica è una bella trovata per stimolarlo ad imparare di più, o almeno così credevo.

Apparentemente per lui è uno stress dover accumulare i punti necessari a non retrocedere in graduatoria, e la sua produttività è calata nel tempo. Le pozioni di raddoppio punti costituiscono un ulteriore stress perché deve completare una lezione in tempo utile a ottenere il punteggio doppio.

Lo ricompensavo guardando assieme un episodio di Spongebob dopo ogni sessione di allenamento, recentemente passando ai Gemelli Tuttle, ma non è servito a molto per aumentare la sua motivazione.

Thank you so much!! We'll look into this 🫂

Oh yeah! I forgot to mention that. We do have a store in Italy! It’s called Rugged Society. They also have a lot of other great brands too.

Is there a guide on how to set this up properly?

I hear you… I only know of a few great brands in Europe. One that comes to mind is Portuguese Flannel, they make really nice shirts, and they’re all made in Portugal as far as I know!

Does anyone have their Bitaxe setup where you can remotely view/control it when they're away?

The messy truth about making a western shirt in America.

When we receive a box of 300 finished western shirts from our factory in L.A. , you’d think - this is awesome. I can throw them on my website, and start selling! Yay!

NOT THE CASE 😀

Woven shirt manufacturing has largely left the U.S. The skilled labor that can do it - isn’t really here anymore. So when you find a factory that “can” do it - you’re often not getting a perfect product back, ready to ship (unless you’re okay shipping an imperfect product - which I’m not).

So instead, we have to inspect each shirt, spec them, trim, iron, fold, bag and tag - ONE AT A TIME - before we can put it on a shelf, and it’s ready to ship to a customer.

A good junk of my time is spent in a room like this, going through shirts, hunched over an ironing board for days. Putting the good ones in one pile, putting the bad ones on the other, with detailed notes, to go back to the factory.

This is one of many reasons why most clothing businesses don’t manufacture here. They don’t want to deal with nightmares like this. Many factories here don't care sadly. You have to grind on them, relentlessly, to improve the product. It's like moving a giant cruise ship from factory hell.

Just getting a perfect quality shirt made, with zero issues, at scale - again and again - isn’t possible today, and what I'm trying to achieve / solve at the moment.

But we’re holding the line. Year after year, putting pressure on our factory to keep improving - and they are.

Two years ago, they struggled with the sides of our pocket flaps. One side would be longer than the other. Now they’re perfect.

This little detail alone is such a huge win. Little by little, we eat the elephant one bite at a time.

The entire business is insane, and often times feels impossible. But the exciting thing is, IF we pull it off, we'll be one of the only ones in the world to make this product here.

How many crypto miners can I run off this?

This is part of a larger whole. Silvopasture model I need to get out of my head. It's been nagging me for years now.

Nobody has built a social web client for people with crappy Internet and old phones.

Been a busy weekend culminating in our oldest son's birthday party today.

Basically was just a pack of his friends running around the homestead, picking fruit, playing with chickens, bouncing on the trampoline, building animals masks, swinging on swings, playing t ball, etc.

Pic of him jumping over my nearly 80 year old mom as she tackles kids on the trampoline.

These are the good old days

I run it through a small brush chipper. Most ends up about 1/4". The smaller it is the more surface area. The more surface area the more space for microbes to live.

Just more room to organize all of them and find the ones we want to use.

French oak is $1500 CAD. American Oak $800 CAD

This is the amount of #biochar from one burn. Need to let it dry out so I can crash it.

Line em up, barrel down

Le toguna, est une construction ouverte érigée en général au centre des villages dogons se trouvant le long de la falaise de Bandiagara. Elles sont d'une hauteur insuffisante pour se tenir en position debout de façon à obliger les participants à s'asseoir.

Les vieux du village s’en servent pour des réunions et des prises de décisions.

Bonjour nostr!
