Does anyone know how to draw out an extensive custom path on *any* major map service? Apple, Google, and Waze seem to have no option for this that makes any sense.

I find it interesting that people can believe in energy frequency warfare yet energy frequency healing is somehow quackery. The Universe is just frequencies vibrating at different rates. Every plant has energetic and physical properties to shift energetic blockage in a human etheric / physical body, dis-ease. It’s not actually that mind blowing. We just shut off from it especially with allopathic Big Pharma profits to be made from slow poison

Our beekeeping mentor un Apalacicola passed away on Thursday, (not from the storm, he passed peacefully, he was in his 80s). His son says they can maybe get to check on the bees today.

Mr Merritt was ChemE grad from Auburn. He was so tired of DuPont telling him what car to drive, clubs to join, where to live, that he bought land in tupelo country and started keeping bees. He ditched a six-figure salary, comfort and security, to work hard in the hot sun, harvest honey, follow his passion. He was a worm-grunter, too, as he loved to fish. He taught us so much. He was our friend and mentor. I will miss him, we both will. He had a good run. Bee at peace my friend.

Done ⚒️🪷

There are a few areas I may go back and fix but I’m going to move on to a new carving in the meantime.

The flooding in Appalachia, everywhere, is heartbreaking.

This is actually one of those mind blowing things.

When you look into space with a telescope, you’re seeing the way it looked when light left that area. So depending on how far out you’re looking, you’re directly seeing deeper and deeper into the past.

It’s like obvious but also 🤯

What are zaps? #asknostr

I was just walking down the street, coffee in hand, suddenly realizing how "normal" it all is already. Like most days, I went to a coffee shop that accepts lightning. Like most days, I paid directly with sats that someone zapped me here on nostr. Like most days, neither the merchant nor myself thought twice about it, or took a minute to marvel at what just happened.

So, allow me to do just that. Marvel at what just happened. While everyone is having a fantastically crazy time at #nostriga, uncountable people are using bitcoin in a myriad of ways. Some for savings, large and small; some for transactions, large and small; some for other stuff. Bitcoin is slowly but surely entering the world stage. Some commentators will tell you that this is good. Some commentators will tell you that this is bad. Whatever the case may be, it is unavoidable.

I see nostr under a similar light. As platform-based manipulation and censorship ramps up—which it inevitably will—the usage of nostr will ramp up too, and with it the usage of zaps and everything else that comes with it. And soon enough, buying a coffee (or breakfast, lunch, and dinner) with zap-based income will be normal. Just like it's "normal" to be an "influencer" today, or a "YouTuber" or whatnot... It's not everyone's cup of tea, but it's a normal thing. Anyone can do it.

Back to my coffee. I remember when I had the "oh my god, I can live on bitcoin here!!!" experience for the first time. It was in Bitcoin Jungle, a couple of months after the initiative was launched. I stayed there for 2 weeks or so, buying the necessities of daily life with sats outright. And it worked. Flawlessly. I had zero payment failures, and was exclusively using Zeus with my own node. It was incredible.

Why is this incredible, you ask? Shouldn't stuff just work? Yes, it should. But building out the tech and the infrastructure to make it all work is BLOODY HARD. I remember the first Lightning Conference in Berlin, in 2019. Everyone came, everyone had all their channels and wallets and everything prepared, and ~50% of payments failed. For... reasons.

Fast-forward to today: I go to one of the 100+ merchants in the city that accept bitcoin, a quick tap on the PoS device & QR code scan, boom, done. Is it always perfect? Of course not. Will it get better still? 100% it will. Very soon these merchants will have NFC-enabled devices, and the tap-to-pay experience that people are used to with cards & Apple pay will be normal for bitcoin payments too. If you are in Riga right now, you'll experience this first-hand thanks to Bolt cards and BTCPay Server. It's awesome, it's open-source, and it works. And it will get better still.

We are truly living in the best and weirdest timeline; a timeline where shitposting on the internet can buy you lunch and dinner; a timeline that spawns amazing technological movements like #nostr; a timeline that, every ~10 minutes, allows for a small miracle to happen. A timeline where "magic internet money" is a normal thing; a timeline that, thanks to the magic dust of cryptography, enables anyone to speak about anything, without having to ask for permission. I'm grateful.

Thank you, Satoshi. 🙏🧡
