I've done 9 solo cross country road trips to date.

3 in cars 6 on motorcycles. I usually did them in late May going into June. But have done a few in September.

I've done them on a budget in my younger years and as a quasi baller in my older years.

I've been through 47 out of the 50 states.

The budget version my younger years....

I've couch surfed and crashed at friend's parents homes at different points to save on hotels (this was before air BNB).

When gas funds were low, I tried to keep car/bike in high gears and coast as much as I can. Basically keeping in 4, 5th gears back then.

I always have tools and know how to use my tools.

Texas i10 is boring unless you plan on detouring into Austin, corpus Christy, or padre island gulf coast areas.

If car/bike is running good take state roads, back roads and avoid the interstates. Real America is not off the interstates. It's on on the state and county back roads.

If car/bike is flakey, stay on the interstate roads. Easier to get help.

Weird isht goes down at truck stops. Not a good spot to hang out. Get your gas and food from towns or local stations if you have choice. You'll meet locals there and those have ways been interesting. I have many great stories from those types of encounters.

When do plan to do this?

Looks a little well done for my tastes. I like to get a really good sear on high heat, produces the most umami flavor and locks in the juices if you let it rest properly. Tougher cuts I still sear then cook low and slow until it’s fall apart tender. Now I’m thinking about red wine braised beef short ribs. 🤤

I love Snowden and believe he exposed the surveillance state with all good intentions, but sometimes I wonder if the government allowed him to expose themselves so that we would truly live in a panopticon.

Regardless, magic internet money may not save the world, but it can save us who know what it is.

Which one is correct

Anybody else eats Nutella by itself? Or am I the only psycho in the whole #nostr verse that does it?

Stop using VPNs, start using Tor.

When it comes to BitcoinCore - use only .onion addresses.

You can use Bitcoin core within Tor. 🤣

Once it gets hot I drop the metal lid on top and seal it with Dirt. Works ok but definitely not ideal
