I got those gloves and a few other pieces of #welding equipment from my late uncle after he passed a few years ago. My interest in welding blossomed just a touch late to be able to learn from him. He was truly a master of the craft with many decades of experience. I like to think his wisdom guides my hands as I learn this skill by wearing his gloves.
Just unrolled my first 2 pounds of flux core wire. I'm genuinely enjoying this trade despite being pretty terrible. I never thought I'd be so comfortable getting splattered by molten steel.
A few more weeks for the remaining parts to come in and I'll be finished with this massive project and get to unveil and see if the welds hold.
Already looking forward to future welding projects!
You may be interested in the book The Phoenix Protocol. It goes into the science of why you should do a dry fast instead (and explains how to hydrate without oral consumption).

I don't know if this is within your scope, but....
What do you want to see from nostr:npub1xnf02f60r9v0e5kty33a404dm79zr7z2eepyrk5gsq3m7pwvsz2sazlpr5 in 2025?
Is there a way to do monthly recurring invoices? Get prompted monthly to edit and verify the creation of the invoice and then auto send invoice to a saved contact once approved.
Low time preference is waiting 5+ years for movies to go from theaters to the free channels.
Streamlines non-custodial zapping and other LN transactions from your own self hosted node. I actually find it to be faster than Zeus.
I generally agree. The old insurance model is how I view insurance and when it works effectively--coverage only for major catastrophic events. Everything less than a few grand should be the patients responsibility.
Absolutely agree. I have "good insurance" but crowd health is less expensive from what I'm learning from people using it AND it is a vote against the health insurance industry.
If Tucker is on a mission to get his audience enraged at the healthcare industry he's nailing it. I'm ready to drop my corrupt health insurance yesterday because of this journalism. These companies must be barred from wall street and required to operate as non profits focused on serving their policyholders, not shareholders.
I want to encourage all #BitcoinMeetups to level up. We had a great local #Bitcoin meetup today. An attendee brought copies of the #BitcoinWhitepaper and copies of the #CypherpunkManifesto. All meetups should be pedaling these materials. They are critical to maintaining the heart of Bitcoin.
Conversation was filled with privacy discussion, KYC coin, social media best practices, running nodes and mining to support the network, and countless more topics that would pique the interest of all inner cypherpunks. I truly had goosebumps being reminded that I'm surrounded by some amazing people.
It won't be going in any #welding textbooks, but the practice must continue. Spending more time on the prep work helps improve the end result. Currently debating between grinding or leaving as is since this isn't a project where cosmetics matter and I like the idea of being able to look back at my progress as I build this skill.
The Tucker Carlson podcast with the "anti vaxx" lawyer was incredible. Highly recommend a listen.
I agree. That's why I like following along with nostr:nprofile1qqspqxs39j9dctnfuqqrz98lrswnddlumcrdsn28j689n824susmphcprpmhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuen0w4h8gctfdchxvmf0qyxhwumn8ghj7cnjvghxjme0qythwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnwdaehgu3wd9hxvme09d87jw 😁
I don't own a freeze dryer, but it's near the top of our wish list so I've been learning a lot. The time and energy component is mostly upfront. When consuming it's usually just adding water back in and heating to temp. Storage is usually with mylar bags or otherwise air tight containers and oxygen absorbers.
Federal Reserve Notes are a social credit system and the middle class is the slave labor.
#Bitcoin fixes this.
25 or so year shelf life. Preserves nutrients better than other methods. Usually preserves food texture better as well. To have food in storage when the grocery stores run out (self resilient).
