Quick snap from the Provst dungeon under the Old Exchange in Charleston. This space was primarily a cellar but during the period of the revolutionary war, while the British held Charleston, an estimated 6k people were held (not all at once) in medieval conditions in this space. Men, women, and children, shackled and kept on stale bread and sickly water. With rats in the straw which was their only bed and riddled by mosquitos that came in through the small barred windows. Countless people died here, but few records were kept. They were imprisoned for their treason to the crown.

Additionally, as there isn’t much natural stone in coastal Charleston, the majority of the city is built with bricks which were, of course, hand packed by enslaved people of the surrounding plantations. If you look closely in places like the dungeon, which have been protected from the erosion of rain, you can find thumbprints in a lot of the bricks.

All of this took place 200-300 years ago. All of this is recent history.

I’m currently homeschooling my sons (ages 13,12, & 10) and in teaching them history, I’m also teaching them to keep their eyes open to current events that will still be studied and talked about 300 years from now. Can you imagine what will be written and told about the time we’ve lived in, and the insanity people just accept as normal? I expect it will be just as hard to wrap our heads around as these things, which many people accepted as normal back then.

This is, to date, one of my favorite photos I’ve ever taken. #photography

You just refers to something as “gay” and then call them a “troll”? Are you 10 years old?

A reminder, mostly to myself, you can just build and create the things you want to exist. Literally just vibe things to life :)

Wife: why is Nostr so weird?

trade-offs 🤷🏻‍♂️

I'm calling bullshit on this

A lot of people aren't fighting demons, they're fighting accountability and responsibility.

no, you just don't see them. it's not blocking.

He was being hyperbolic? You sure, have you seen his vlogs?

Who the fuck is “everyone”? Are you praising yourself on a public forum, in a manor that actually projects insecurity by asking for validation.

You sure you good brother?

You should never lift off the end of a fork like that. Just FYI. The strap is compromised and should have been tossed in the garbage

We are considering selling our small off-grid cottage in central #France. The property is located in the #LaCreuse department, #Limousin region, in a quiet hamlet on the edge of a forest.

The house sits on a large 2,265 sqm parcel (approx. 0.56 acres) which includes:

–A small courtyard in front of the house

–Garden area

–A field

–A large forested area

The stone house has an area of approx. 68 m² with a fully rebuilt roof. All structural woodwork was replaced, except for the original 100-year-old oak beams (still in excellent condition). The beams were treated against termites and borers, and the roof was finished with premium Terreal terra cotta tiles (installed 2011–2012). Additional upgrades include Kingspan structural foam insulation in roof, mains water connection, a new entry door, and three new wooden cave doors.

The property is currently off-grid, powered by a 1,040 W solar installation (4× BenQ 260 W panels, 3 kVA 48 V hybrid inverter, 400 Ah 48 V GEL battery bank, aluminum rail mounting system). Everything you need to live comfortably off-grid.

Please note: there is no septic system. There is currently composting toilet system installed. If desired, a conventional septic system would need to be installed by the new owner. Heat system currently installed is a 9.5kW Franco Belge wood burning stove in green enamel.

💰 Asking price: 0.25 BTC (25M sats) — negotiable for the right buyer!

Nous envisageons de vendre notre petite maison indépendante dans le centre de la #France. La propriété est située dans le département de #LaCreuse, région #Limousin, dans un hameau calme en bordure de forêt.

La maison est située sur un grand terrain de 2 265 m² (22 a 65 ca) comprenant :

– Une petite cour devant la maison

– Un jardin

– Un champ

– Un grand espace boisé

La maison en pierre a une superficie d'environ 68 m² avec une toiture entièrement refaite. Toutes les charpentes ont été remplacées, à l'exception des poutres en chêne centenaires d'origine (en excellent état). Les poutres ont été traitées contre les termites et les foreurs, et le toit a été recouvert de tuiles en terre cuite Terreal de première qualité (installées en 2011-2012). Les améliorations supplémentaires comprennent l'isolation en mousse structurelle Kingspan dans le toit, le raccordement à l'eau du réseau, une nouvelle porte d'entrée et trois nouvelles portes de cave en bois.

La propriété est actuellement hors réseau et alimentée par une installation solaire de 1 040 W (4 panneaux BenQ 260 W, un onduleur hybride 3 kVA 48 V, un parc de batteries GEL 400 Ah 48 V et un système de montage sur rail en aluminium). Tout le nécessaire pour vivre confortablement hors réseau.

Attention : il n’y a pas de fosse septique. Un système de toilettes sèches est actuellement installé. Si désiré, un système septique conventionnel devra être installé par le nouveau propriétaire. Le chauffage est assuré par un poêle à bois Franco-Belge 9,5 kW émaillé vert.

💰 Prix demandé : 0,25 BTC (25 millions de sats) — négociable pour le bon acquéreur !

Lol I am glad you didn't need the policy and all was well afterall. What did those Zeus pieces cost a guy?

I guess everyone is an expert but for anyone interested, That “forklift” articulates, (many don’t) and it was necessary to tilt to miss the top beam whilst placing the head. Also that strap is graded for 8000 lbs. All calculations were made before attempting to set the stone. I will admit this was my first foray with 15th century limestone and I was holding my breath and checking my insurance policy the entire time. The owner was present and very happy with the results.

The hired labour is taking good care of the 15th century limestone. Rigging with visible tearing, lifted from a tipped up fork, where it could have easily taken an uncontrolled slide down to the back of the forks, or worst case off the end and onto the ground.

I wouldn't show that to the owner lol.

Amazing.

We are designing a small ancient Roman villa. Hopefully can start in the next year.

While we won’t be having any ornate features like these (not that wealthy😁), it will be based on authentic plans. As a Roman historian, I’m a stickler for detail.

Last one 😜😜

Looks amazing! Newbie question: were they all shaped that way or did you all have to cut & chip them into shape? Assuming it's typicaly the latter. I have tons of stone and am thinking I want to do something like this.

Yesterday, I met my first shitcoiner in real life, he was a friend's boyfriend.

I was very excited to discuss Bitcoin with him, when he said he has some Bitcoin. But then he said he's mostly in Cardano 🤪

Any tips on what to say to those folks? He wasn't very technical, and wasn't into any cryptography or economics or anything, and his politics was a bit crazy, so I didn't know how to get him in my side and get him fully into Bitcoin
