It's not about the tech or the company. It's about the freedom. 😉
Nice! Looking forward to seeing any results you share.

Winter bale grazing is producing some interesting results already this spring. In the middle where the bale sat we're already seeing growth, despite this likely being some of the thicker hay residual. My theory is that's where the seeds from the bale ended up and those seeds are likely germinating within the hay as it is starting to break down.
Several locations are showing this result already, but not all.
Sounds perfect for making into tea bags.

They need to be influenced for that to happen
In the time it took my legacy bank to confirm my check from the US Treasury wasn't FRAUD I could've had a Bitcoin transaction completed with FINAL SETTLEMENT plus THREE CONFIRMATIONS.
I was even informed that a 2 day hold would be required. "Yeah, I understand, we can't trust the government." 🤣
The teller apologized, but I told her "I was expecting this and this is why I buy Bitcoin."
After all that, the teller had the nerve to ask if I wanted to setup an account for my kid. I responded that "my kid won't be needing an account."
It's good to have a reminder every now and then of what we're replacing, but man is it painful.
I guess what I was meaning was after dehydrating/air drying the end product is just dried out and possibly a little more brown in color depending upon material.
It seems silly to ask but is it similar texture/result with freeze drying?
Hmm. My wife is air drying nettles for tea. How does freeze drying compare?
This is actually on my radar as well. 🔥

The use of the phrase "market crash" for any events that have so far occurred in 2025 is soft. Wake me up when we see -50% performance over a month. Although I doubt that'll ever happen again. The finger is always on the button ready to print. The desire to label everything a crash by the ruling class is telling of their need to print. Desperate times...

WTF is with the news source coincidences today. Tucker's podcast today includes sections on underground bases around the country and pending catastrophic events.
Who has tickets for access to those bases? 🤔
My wife traded some elderflowers last year to someone who used it to flavor kombucha. We were gifted a bottle. It was delicious.
🔥PROOF OF WORK🔥
June 25, 2024: 204.6 lbs, 25-28% BF
April 26, 2025: 161.2 lbs, 12.3% BF (April 3 DEXA scan)
800+ daily calorie deficit
4x workouts per week
6.1 million steps, 20k daily average
No gimmicks. No skipped gym days.
This is how I did it:👇
I started cutting June 25, 2024 with CoachFHM (Twitter handle) as my trainer, thanks to a referral from nostr:nprofile1qyt8wumn8ghj7ct5d3shxtnwdaehgu3wd3skueqpz4mhxue69uhk2er9dchxummnw3ezumrpdejqqgrt8zt8l5vreng3m04r2xpyn8mms77qkqnqm72fe69p3lxd7ca20y8pse3m . The goal was to build muscle, but the fat had to go first.
Francis' plan was an aggressive 800+ daily calorie deficit for 6 months. I wanted to stick with the carnivore diet, and he wanted me to eat some yogurt and fruit pre-workout. I compromised and agreed to this macro plan:
2005 calories
60g carbs
205g protein
105g fat
A few months in, I ran into issues trying to stay carnivore while cutting. I went into greater detail here:
https://x.com/Mandrik/status/1864306324160315874
TL;DR - my body needed carbs. It was time for a change.
New daily macros:
1885 calories
185g protein
185g carbs
45g fat
Foods I introduced - sweet potatoes, rice (white & black), lots of fruits and vegetables, bread, and more dairy options.
Things were going well, but it was clear this was going to take longer than six months. I'd have run away if Francis told me 10 months, but I wanted to keep pushing after seeing so much progress.
I took Christmas week off, eating maintenance calories with a light workout schedule. It was a much needed break, but weight loss slowed down from there.
January was rough. I live in the northeast US. Cold, no sun, and eating less. Oh, and I was caffeine-free (still am), which makes cutting extra hard mode.
A perfect storm for losing my mind.
By the end of the month I was cracking, and Francis recognized what was going on. He said it was time for a break - eat maintenance level calories for all of February.
I literally wept with joy that first day. I can't believe the toll this cut was taking on me, and how incredible it felt eating a normal amount of calories.
That month changed me as a human being. I began to recognize I could do normal things, like go to a restaurant and even have a little taste of dessert. Enjoy life without overindulging.
Up until that point I had never experienced this. I never felt in control of my eating. I had to restrict myself from certain foods because I couldn't moderate them. That's why the carnivore diet was so good for me.
Not anymore.
I used this energy for one last push. The goal was always to get in that 10-12% body fat range. My weight dropped down into the high 160s, so I knew I was close. I scheduled a DEXA scan for early April. Results?
Total body fat: 12.3%
I could keep pushing. Try to work towards more ab definition as I worked closer to 10% BF. That sounds great, but I was mentally done. I was getting close to cracking again, spending the past few months waking up at 4AM every day. We agreed to end the cut on April 26 no matter what, so I hung in there.
Now here I am, having just crawled across the finish line. Could I have done better? Of course. I still see body fat around my midsection that would have been nice to lose.
I will always be one of those people who needs to be reminded by others of my accomplishments. I focus on what still needs done vs what I worked so hard to do.
So today I take a step back, and recognize that I've accomplished something that I never in my life thought possible. I spent the past 10 months undoing decades of bad eating decisions.
It's ok to feel great about that. I did it!🔥
So I'm going to celebrate this W. Spend a few weeks going to the gym, eating maintenance level calories. Recovering from this incredible and awful experience.
Then it's on to phase 2:
We build. 🏋️♂️
Congrats! PoWinning.
Curious, I'm a habitual snacker that I need to get a grip on. Do you use an app or anything for dietary tracking?

Good Morning Nostr,
I woke up committed to doing something uncomfortable today. I'm putting myself out there to let the world know I'm interested in employment opportunities in the Bitcoin space. I’ve been searching for a while, but I’m ready to ramp it up, mix it up and see what happens with the social capital I've been building here on nostr...
This is hard and uncomfortable because I hate talking about me. I prefer doing, building, creating, and occasionally writing (people at work say I'm good at it 🤷). But one of the most important things Bitcoin teaches us is that doing the hard thing is often the right thing, so lets see where this goes.
My experience feels like it borders on irrelevant for Bitcoin at times, but if I’ve proven one thing throughout my career it is that I’m adaptable and learn quickly. I didn't know anything when I started working—I barely knew how to get to the CLI 🖥️. I have a degree that supposedly claims I'm capable of learning, but being a bitcoiner is the real truth to that. I tend to gravitate towards leadership positions once my feet are under me. I lead with a servants mentality and enjoy customer support and leaving people with a smile. I've spent 16+ years in IT doing everything from call center support and tier 1 tickets to desktop and server administration to project management with some team lead and management responsibilities along the way. I've done a lot of educating and guidance both in my career and my interactions surrounding my Bitcoin experience.
I’ve learned quite a bit about Bitcoin and have a broad experience with most aspects to self-sovereignty, self-hosting, and privacy. I don’t claim to be an expert--as soon as you do you get humbled. I love learning and gaining new skills and checking out new, useful tech.
I know what I know and have a good sense of knowing when I don't know--the difference is just the delay in finding the answer. I'm confident I can provide value where ever I go, respectfully I feel I always have. I'm a down in the dirt, get stuff done type--it was instilled in me from birth getting dirt under the fingernails on the farm.
Some personal interests I've been educating myself on and exploring include artificial intelligence, project management, IT service management framework and application analysis and development.
Anyway, if you’ve read this far, genuinely thank you 🙏and if you’d be so kind as to pass it on to spread the word I’d be eternally grateful because you never know where this mycelial web of human connections might lead.
PS - I have an pseudonymous-oriented resume available to folks interested, but I’d like to do my research about you before providing it to you (I’ve seen predatory scams out there TBH). I’m not here to support the black sheep “Bitcoin companies.” I have integrity and ethics I need to hold true to at the end of the day and want to truly build a better Bitcoin world for the next generation.
✌️🧡
