on that note, I did have a very interesting conversation with the manager of my traditional IRA recently regarding the ETFs. He was asking me to educate him on bitcoin and point him in the right direction so he could learn more about how to advise on it. People are coming around more and more now that it's been "accepted" in the mainstream that it's not going away.
I tend to agree that it can be a tough road orange pilling someone. Especially those that are unwilling to be open minded or ready to set aside their bias. I used to try much harder with friends and family and was mildly successful with a few but most won't put in the effort without the personal desire or curiosity to do so. Some will blindly trust you but I find that to be dangerous as they tend to be the people who panic sell or are only in it for fiat gains. I will happily inform people and have deep conversations with them anytime but I no longer search them out as I did years ago.
GM nostr! Let's all get after it today. Whatever your 'it' may be ⚡️

First person to name what this is and who made it get a zap!

Nothing better than syrup made from start to finish. I'm lucky to get some every year from friends that put their time and sweat into it and I've helped here and there when I can over the years. It's been a while though and I kinda miss it. Sounds like you're off to a strong start!
Using a homemade reverse osmosis system to concentrate maple sap
https://v.nostr.build/K362.mp4
When I started making maple syrup, I only tapped a few trees and boiled off the water with propane. It was clear that continuing to use propane wouldn't scale but at the same time I didn't want to spend the time building a wood fired boiler or the money buying one. I had just started heating the house with wood via a rocket mass heater, so if I was going to prepare firewood it would be more valuable heating the house instead of boiling maple sap.
Ultimately, I found some plans to build an affordable reverse osmosis system which would concentrate the sap by removing most of the water before starting to boil.
I used it successfully for a couple years but I got greedy and left it out over night. It ended up freezing and was destroyed by the ice. I was reaching the limit of what I could process with it which was why I tried to run it overnight in order to keep up. This mistake, forced me to upgrade to the current system which should allow me to continue to scale the maple sugar making system here at the homestead.
Some things I want to clarify from the video, the filter can concentrate the sap from around 2 brix to about 6 brix and the pump uses ~45w of power. The actual energy cost to concentrate the sap will depend on the starting sugar content and temperature. So when I say 65 cents that is a very general figure. The biggest takeaway is that the filter if maintained properly will concentrate sap using much less energy than boiling. However, if the filter gets fouled (or frozen...) much of the cost savings are erased.

I've heard of people using these but never seen the setup. Very cool! I'm in the heart of syrup country and I'm surprised that more people haven't switched to something similar. It is awfully fun standing around a boiler for a week straight feeding a fire though so can't blame them entirely. Well done!
A sketch I made while on tour a few months ago. It's always a nice break to get out of my shop and bounce around the country performing but I miss creating physical art when I do. I keep my hands busy making little doodles like this. Enjoy!

100% agree. I don't understand how people live in places where the seasons don't change or the change is minimal.
I know people heading down the "we need Socialism and Marxism done right" path and it really worries me. They're really missing the point of what freedom truly is and can be.

Yikes...transferable is one of the scariest parts because they can just sell those "rights" to anyone they want. I can't imagine any major publisher will be willing to upload books unless they are excluded from this or kill it somehow. So evil!
the more we engage the more connection we make!
Is Coinbase currently the largest honey pot/high risk enviroment in existence? Sounds like it...
excellent! glad you liked it! great soundtrack with all the classic Scott Joplin ragtime tunes as well.
Schiff as Biff is just too good 🤣
Is there a VPS service that is Bitcoin only?

VPS DVM?
not strickly bitcoin only (also accepts PayPal and CC) but Luna Node accepts bitcoin for payment. No shitcoins accepted though. Have used them for years and they're excellent and with very competitive pricing.
Unlikely that many people even use any PWAs on a regular basis or at all really. Not surprised they're doing this. Just making the walls of their walled garden a little higher.
