Been on nostr for less than a day and already like it more than twitter #grownostr

Wisdom versus knowledge…

Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit…

Wisdom is know that it doesn’t belong on a fruit salad.

The Sun, our local star, is just under a million miles in diameter. The surface temperature is about 5,000K, and the power output is about 4E26 watts.

All that power is coming from the innermost 10% of the star -- the core -- where the temperatures are around 17E6K, and the pressure is ...um... crushing.

At those temperatures the Hydrogen atoms cannot hold onto their electrons. So protons and electrons are free to zoom about without binding. The velocities of the protons are so high, and the pressures are so great, that every once is a great while two protons will get close enough that the strong nuclear force will bind them together into Helium. This happens to about 500 metric tons of Hydrogen each second. In that reaction a lot of high energy gamma rays are released.

Those gamma rays are trapped within all those charged particles in the core. They bounce around in the core, doing a random walk for thousands of years. But eventually they reach the outer shell of the core where they can heat the Hydrogen gas outside the core.

The bouncing around of all those gamma rays creates an outward pressure that keeps the core of the Sun from collapsing under the weight of the Hydrogen above it.

The hydrogen outside the core, heated by the gamma rays escaping the core, rises to the surface of the star in a massive convection current. Upon reaching the surface, the heat of that gas is radiated at 5000K and reaches us ~8 minutes later.

This process has been going on for nearly five billion years, and will continue for another five billion or so. However...

The Helium building up in the core takes up space. This impedes the fusion reaction. Fewer gamma rays are produced, causing the core to contract. This heats the core driving the fusion rate back up, but at a slightly higher temperature.

Thus, the Sun is gradually warming. It is about 10% hotter today than when it formed, and it will continue to get hotter and hotter as the eons pass. In about 200 million years, it will be too hot for water to remain liquid on the surface of the Earth.

So, I guess we'll have to move the Earth a bit farther out.

seriously?

APOCALYPSE ANONYMOUS by

Ever wondered where cashews really come from? Spoiler alert: they're not nuts! Cashews actually start as fruits from a large evergreen tree that thrives in the tropics. The tree produces vibrant red flowers that give way to juicy, apple-like structures—but these aren’t the real fruit.

The true cashew “fruit” is the kidney-shaped formation at the end of these so-called apples. Before they become the delicious snack we know, cashews have to be carefully roasted to remove toxins in their outer shell, which can be as irritating as poison ivy!

So, the next time you pop a cashew, remember the wild journey it took to get to your table!

4 years ago I decided to raise pigeons for meat and I was all in. It seemed it was perfect for me since I couldn’t have any other animals due to government restrictions. I had my plan of action, I figured how to expand my growth and educated my self with plenty of outdated books that proved to be a great resource once in history. Set up housing, got my pigeons and I was ready. Yes, I thought I was ready.

I didn’t account for one of my neighbors gifting me 20 laying hens and a free coop big enough to house all of them. Quickly the pigeons faded away. All my attention was taken away by the chickens, heck even the kids where exited about these little dinosaurs that brought them joy while chasing and fighting over a roach that just happened to cross their path. The kids where all in.

It’s amazing how times flies by, I spend the last 4 years raising, incubating, processing chickens. All of this in a plot of land that it’s not zoned for animals. But what I learned is that if you get free chickens, you take them no matter the circumstance and make it work and boy did I make them work.

What I didn’t count on was that at the same times my pigeon flock was thriving just as well. With minimal input is was growing. It is still growing and what I mostly enjoy that they raise their own babies with out any input from me. All I had to do was feed them and provide them clean water.

Sadly I didn’t manage them correctly, and I still have not processed any of the pigeons for meat. I have plenty of free loaders and a line that just does not work.

This year I will make my pigeons a priority and make them a part of my meat productions. I will have to remove about half or more of my birds and start fresh but hey you live and learn.

Showed up to a family member’s wedding today with the four kids was told it was a casual dress wedding on a beach… showed up in basically swimming cloths the whole family to a completely formal wedding 🤣🤦‍♂️😂

Biden wants to make life better, he should fix this issues. You are 100% right. This is crazy as my data is stolen from companies who could care less and then I need to deal with my credit being destroyed. Don’t even get me started on the scam that is credit scores. Screw this system, I want out. BTC and NOSTR are the best and only life raft I see.

Now I need some wine. 🍷 😉 The more I think about it, post seems like a ploy to get me so worked up that I would need some wine. Is this your game?

BEHOLD, MINE

bitaxes are running on normal settings, usually under 57 Celsius with the lego top on. i tell my kids to leave it alone, and they listen. 'Dont play with my Bitcoin' 'OK Father' - yup they call me Father, hell ya!

Y'all like my new bushcraft axe? Wicing makes cool stuff. Fell a small tree this morning and made some extra roosting beams for the chickens. So big enough for that but small enough to fit on a pack. Highly recommended. #homesteading #grownostr #bushcraft

Timeline is CRAZY these days.

Good thing I came prepared. 🍷
