Uh oh. I can see grammar-obsessed people like myself turning this option into an editing obsession and achieving peak obnoxiousness. I must resist!

A good day.
I was at a community meeting tonight in my town to discuss conservation of our local natural resources.
Some solutions offered and seemingly well-received included:
- more government control
- wealth redistribution
- land redistribution
- and depopulation
So. That's where we are now.
I was the only one speaking about resource regeneration, wildlife habitat development, and restoration of agricultural infrastructure to empower land stewards with economic incentive.
One other participant offered the creation of "local money." Which I loved and goes right along with my idea for a local farmers #fedimint.
Why are humans so predictable? Can we not break this pattern?

The best advice I ever got (and foolishly didn't heed) when I started farming was, "Slow down."
It is incredibly tempting to rush into doing all the things you've always dreamed of doing: gardens, orchards, chickens, hogs, etc.
And, if you do rush in, you very quickly find yourself overrun with chores and expenses.
My advice is to start with an enterprise that is likely to be profitable for you. (Unless you're awash in money already. Then, go wild!) Start building manageable enterprises that pencil out with more than enough breathing room to allow for the unexpected. Things always break. Storms always roll through. Cash is king. Keep more than you think you'll need on-hand at all times.
Manage your cash, time, and energy like precious resources. Go slowly in the right direction and you can build the life you've always wanted. But you're dealing in complex systems humans can't predict or control. So proceed with joy, hope, enthusiasm, and caution.
Good luck! Keep us updated on your projects.
Immersion mining with canola oil to concentrate maple sap more quickly
https://v.nostr.build/n997.mp4
I'm using a single S9 hash board immersed in canola oil to heat maple sap to increase the effectiveness of the reverse osmosis sap concentration system.
The weather conditions this season have caused the maple sap to be cold and stay cold which drastically slows down the ability of the RO system to filter water out of it. I ran into a bottle neck where there is more sap than I can keep up with concentrating so I needed to come up with something quickly!
Ideally if the temperature of the sap is 77°f the filter will operate most effectively without damaging the RO membrane. Of course, my mind immediately turned to Bitcoin mining for the heating solution. What I came up with was an immersion system using the homebrew equipment I already had to heat the sap just before it entered the RO. This would allow the majority of the sap to stay cool keeping it from spoiling and still remove the most water possible.
The only thing I didn't have for the immersion system was the dielectric fluid. I had no idea where to find the proper fluid nor did it make sense to pay the high cost for it. The application for this system is very specific and I will only need it until April. I had been joking about using canola oil as dielectric fluid for almost a year but for this situation it seemed like the perfect fit. Canola oil is 70% cheaper than bitcool before shipping and was immediately available!
Amazingly, I put everything together and it worked very well without major adjustments. I tip-toed the voltage and frequency of the single S9 hashboard up slowly to find the right balance in temperatures between the two fluid loops. Ultimately, I ended up with an overclocked board drawing over 600w! By the time I got the system setup and dialed in I was already half way through concentrating this collection of sap. The next collection will offer more concrete data on what this system is capable of. For now, even with the worst S9 board I have, I'm getting a 15% rebate on the total power usage of the whole process and it's definitely concentrating sap more quickly. All for ~$10 of canola oil... 👀

How do you find the time?! What is your secret?
Good night all!
I've reached a new phase in my relationship with #nostr. It's now open. All day. At work.
#imfine #icanstopanytime
Every time I use #bitcoin, I marvel at the superiority of the tech. I feel a freer future drawing near. I have faith that the people will choose the more free, superior money. I'm grateful to #nostr for orange-pilling me.
Carry on.

Again I added some newcomers but sadly also I removed a lot of new unactive accounts. What’s wrong with you dudes, betraying us with Bluesky xd
Btw nostr:npub19aftr8lpgz8knmswjz0d3l9vzwx97dcvqh0zfuxcxu9d57t4yv3sz4v28l is kinda unlucky ostrich 🤭 It was second time close to her, hope next time haha
Thanks for that you’re awesome Nostr #frens 🫂💜
When you want to be on the next roulette, you have to follow my account and be active at least for the last week on #Nostr

Woooohoooo! Generational wealth is always a nice surprise. Thanks!
Land is a shitcoin.
My state is pushing legislation that would make short term rentals illegal to run by anyone except wealthy second homeowners.
A bad investment other people tax and control.
