Violinist and teacher, building a homestead on raw land in between lessons and concerts. Fascinated by how we can develop resilience in our lives, in our families, in our communities. I'm excited about freedom tech and circular economies, and am deeply grateful for the devs and advocates who are helping build tools for a better future.

I remember seeing a study on how men admitted to hospitals with a cardiac event actually had surprisingly low LDLs on average. The conclusion? Was it that maybe their correlation assumption was off?

no, of course not! It was "We need to lower the threshold to start administration of statins."

I'm using a mix of soil, compost and a bit of coconut coir in tree tubes - following the guidelines of Billy from Perma Pastures - but later in the season than I originally intended so we'll see if they make it through the winter. Most are cuttings from shrubs/trees that we have plus some that I bought.

Would be fun to have a cuttings exhange on Nostr!

Yes, makes sense. There's one fellow who was working with Randy Kelton - Brett? - who was brilliant with bar grievances.

So fun to plant new trees! Yaupon hollies look lovely. I have a growing tree wish list for my favorite nursery, which is taking orders in early December.

In the meantime, I'm obsessed with cuttings. Mulberry cuttings, fig cuttings, hackberry, guomi, and aronia cuttings...

I have no idea if my technique for rooting will work, and I won't find out until next spring!

Not sure - I'm still reading it! Most of my conclusions right now are from others' interpretations. My impression was that anything that's designed to obfuscate chain of ownership (mixers) or could result in obfuscation (a wallet with multiple addresses) would be banned, but that would then also include Lightening nodes, which makes Lightening not workable.

Perhaps, but it seems like something like this was always inevitable.

Upside: it's happening at a time that more and more people are skeptical of the incumbent system. Every obvious gov't overreach in the coming years will nudge more people to explore self custody of an asset that - in their minds - might finally be proving to be reliable.

It looks like anything other than KYC purchase to one address would banned, which means full surveillance on all spending.

We have determined that some criminals in the world are closing curtains before committing their crimes.

Therefore, American citizens will no longer be able to purchase or use window coverings of any kind.

We have considered the needs for privacy for law-abiding Americans and the actions of murderers and decided that this is the most balanced approach.
