I believe at this time of the year all ducking has been done. Most likely they're just there because of the nutrient rich water :D

There's four males. One below the tree, two on the kelp soup and another one by the reason they're all there.

I suspect that'll be the development, but we'll need to wait and see. If that ends up being the case, then the change is definitely pointless.

However, if even a 1 sat zaps becomes the new standard, then it's a step on the right direction IMHO.

Interesting takes. I'm personally neutral on this until we see how it develops. Pushing hard for monetization can be problematic, but if you can still see and reply to those notes, I don't see a big problem. If this develops into a lot of empty comments like "+1" or "agree" then, has it really changed anything?

Second #soap batch (right) didn't work as intended, it isn't settling at all. I'll need to heat it up and stir well to make sure it recovers.

Today in #nostr, the #plebchain teaches us how a single letter makes a huge difference.

Finished the first batch of soap. Will do a second later today. Made out of olive oil from cooking.

If you haven't already you should check #[0]. NIP-05, private relay, private and public media gallery, all for free! Thrilled to see what's next.

Also, show some love to #[1] for developing it all.

Summary of the week so far:

-Sunday: 4/4 failures on the essential oils extraction DIY setups.

-Monday: Hectic day at the fiat mine, dead by 22:00.

-Tuesday: Lost ~320K sats on a rookie mistake when backing up keys. Not life changing but boy it stings.

-Wednesday: Stomach flu outbreak at home.

What's next? I'm just finishing filtering used cooking oil to make soap. I won't yield. I'll make something good and stick it to this awful week.

I've definitely seen rabbit holes going deeper than that. I would have gone for something closer to 8-10 inches. Hope it works tho, just my two sats. Keep an eye on the gate too, in case they star munching the wood!

I hope the fence goes deep or they'll just dig bellow it if the rewards are juicy enough

As part of my personal #grownostr series to talk about my interests, tonight's topic is beer for all of my #beerstr fans out there.

I'm kind of a beer snob. I will mostly only drink craft beer, beers that I've never heard of or had before. I don't like all of the basic domestic beer at all. I'm not a poor college student. I don't need to drink something that's cheap and tastes like water or something that's cheap and tastes like skunk piss.

I love to visit microbreweries with my friends and family. I love to go on microbrewery tours with friends and family, visiting multiples of them over the course of a day or a weekend. I love to get flights of different beers and really dig into the style and flavor. I probably spend a bit too much time trying to pinpoint all of the hops or ingredients 😆 Anyways, the beer is great, but also I love the social experience too. I love conversing with people, I love taking in the different atmospheres. It fits my personality well.

I don't like IPAs. I will drink them to try them, because I like to try all of the beers, but I haven't found one that I said to myself "Wow, I need to come back here and get this IPA for a second time." That just doesn't happen with IPAs for me.

I am a dark, dank beer fan. I love all styles of stouts, from coffee stouts, to milk stouts, to irish, to American, to bourbon barrel aged stouts. I'm also a fan of Belgian dubbles and Belgian tripels. My go to will always be a darker beer of varying styles, but this can change due to the season.

Oktoberfest is one of my most favorite times of year. I'm a real snob here. I won't stray too far from the traditional German style Marzen or Festbier. I've never been to Munich, but I've always wanted to go. I actually had my flight and hotel for the 2020 Oktoberfest, but COVID-19 took that away. Oh well. I've been to dozens of local events over the past few years though. I love to dress up for these events too.

During the summer on our boat, I drink a lot of sours and hefes. These styles of beers during the hot summer days work best. I don't want to drink a heavy dark beer in the hot summer, while on the water. I'll take a lighter beer here, but I still need something with flavor. I'm not going to drink Bud Light, Coors Light, Miller Lite, etc. Now, that doesn't mean that I haven't drank them while I'm on the water. I won't turn down a free beer from a fellow lake friend.

I've never brewed my own beer, but it's something that I've wanted to do for many, many years.

I look forward to having a beer with you at our next Nostr event :)

A couple of my personal favorites:

Left: Omnipollo Noa (Sweden) - Pecan mud Imperial Stout

Right: Põhjala Cowboy Breakfast (Estonia)- Bourbon aged Imperial

Today, I've tried four different setups to do steam distillation of #essentialoils using only basic stuff everyone has around. None of them has worked.

I still have one more bullet before having to go back to the drawing board. I'm a bit frustrated tho, so I'll take a rest and come back at it tomorrow with a fresh mind.

A byproduct of the #mead batch I prepared yesterday is this little beeswax candle. I made it from the residual wax that comes out of the honey when you caramelize it.

I'm leaving it by the window until the honey fully settles, then I'll drain it and ley the wax cure.
