I read it in December. It's good! yes, depressing af but important to know.

Pharma companies and policy makers. You know that the ever-growing Venn diagram that are their common goals and interests means bad news for everyone else.

Welcome, Alex!

I get occasional updates from a family member who has some insane colleagues. It's almost like they've taken all the crazy stuff they heard from the media and concentrated it until it's pure paranoia and hatred. And they seem to have come to a logical conclusion - that the government is lying to them and only cares about money and power - because they are now nearly alone in their hypochondria.

Yes! good to have different storage methods. My long-term goal with storage is to get good at salt-preserving.

GM, rogue friends! If you missed the Samantha LaDuc exchanges and want a good laugh you can find her recent posts on Nitter. One of her nuggets of wisdom is that bitcoin can in fact be debased because it's divided into sats. There are lots of sats, and therefore there is no scarcity of bitcoin. I'm not sure how these folks ever make it out of a basic math class.

Anyway - I'm just back from a romantic snowy walk with my love, and getting set up for an afternoon of online teaching and other computer work.

Hope that those of you in the cold are nice and cozy today! I love seeing updates on how everyone's handling the weather.

Thank you! I think I came across this a while ago and probably blanched when I saw mention of "battery acid." (though honestly I have no idea what battery acid actually is). I've saved the link and your notes about sulphuric acid.

I just realized that I haven't checked in for days!

#31days

My back is on the mend but I'm still moving fairly slowly, so I'm sticking to walks for now - but I've been doing several long-ish walks every day. I haven't been timing, but probably more than an hour total.

Ok, great. This is good to know!

We have meat rabbits and so far have just been composting the furs, which seems like a waste. I don't quite have the bandwidth to start working with them yet, but that pickling solution question had been bugging me.

Now that you've resolved that for me, it's time to start saving the skins! Then I'll have several when I'm ready to tackle a new project.

Yes, thank you! makes sense

Nice to see this! One of my favorite things to freeze dry is bone broth. Kind of a pain to set it up (best to pour it when the trays are already in) but it's so good to have our own broth in a form that will store almost indefinitely.

If we're ever set up to use our freeze dryer again, I'll definitely be trying more meats! Your trays are very inspiring 🤩

oh no! do you know if they're ok?

welcome!

She's growing so beautifully 🥰

Wow 😂

At least they know who's still reading the NYT

I'm so sorry to hear this, Guy! That really sucks

Thanks for the tip! I'll look her up.

How do you get rid of the sulphuric acid solution after you've used it? I would think it's not something you want on your land (or maybe you can neutralize it first?)

Sometimes I think they're trying to say it without actually writing the words. This headline is a far cry from "it's climate change" or, one of my favorites, a wave of heart problems coming from "gardening"

There are silicone bags that are tough and reusable. I'm assuming that silicone is safe for food, but in any case I would think that it's as safe/safer than plastic.

Not cheap but they should last a long while.

welcome to Nostr! Stacking now, even with small amounts, puts you way ahead of the game in so many ways.

Soon - if it hasn't already happened - you'll realize that learning about bitcoin gives you astonishing insights into many different areas.
