Our youngest is still in the stage where everyone is a friend. Never want that bubble to burst.
C’mon Australia, ditch the rainbows and unicorns and get with the nuclear program.

Half way through The Creature from Jekyll Island; incredible this was written back in the nineties, pre-GFC, absolutely nailing the whole fiat pantomime.
Also recommended if you enjoy the sort of footnote and side-quest laden research found in RFK’s Fauci book. Forensic analysis a’plenty but with a light and engaging style.
Great, thanks - will look into those!
Looks fantastic Ben! Edging into selling produce ourselves this season, if you don’t mind me asking where did you get the #bitcoin signage and are you just using a stock lightning wallet for sales?
I think it’s likely all over the solar system.
Like exoplanets and extra-terrestrial water, once we we find the first example it’ll rapidly become apparent it’s ubiquitous.
Europa, Titan, Mars, Comets, etc.
The shadow of an RAF Vulcan B2 about to pass over the wreckage of USAAF B-24D “Lady Be Good” in the Sahara. The Liberator was lost in the desert due to navigational error in 1943, following a bombing raid on Naples. The in-service dates for these two types were only 11 years apart.
Seeing (hearing!) Vulcans at airshows was a childhood highlight for me. 
Inertia is certainly a thing. But engagement is cratering on all those platforms unless you play the game, and the game is exhausting.
I have a grapefruit knife and it gets used no more than once a year. Totally worth the space in the cutlery draw though!
Ok you lovely people, I think I’m only going to post photos here now; the other networks are all rapidly losing their appeal.
The first rain in a month has made for some amazing looking apples. It’s been a year of ups and downs on the self-sufficiency trail, but we are certainly not hurting for fruit. Apples, blackberries by the bucket. #farmstr #foodstr #homestead #grownostr
Nice work am also all cash in trading accounts as of this week… I see #tradestr is mostly a yard sale and merch tag, I think we need a #stockstr or something.
Fintwit is about all I’m on that platform for these days.
Welcome! And yes.
Love what these folks are doing. nostr:note1e6ecg6dssypf85y3xquky722ukg9j2d06xm50kuxng7u6u3a47xsgeemgk
Maybe for a short while with the initial flush of outraged wokesters indicating that something potentially worthwhile was going on, at least for the lolz. But now it’s become clearer, no.
Like any paid influencer platform the 0.01% will get fabulously wealthy while the 99.99% sell their souls chasing rainbows.
Bananas have always been the most perplexing example of international trade in Costco for me.
Here’s this low density unfreezable thing that spoils if you so much look at it, takes a bunch of resource to grow and ship thousands of miles and it’s still just a couple of bucks a bunch and appears stubbornly inflation proof.
Mortgage application required if you want to buy any tree nuts though.

Dark Forest is far scarier tbh. nostr:note1et8uuk4ez7dagr3rx0tnnn97z58j5dcqye7w8kzd5avdfd4v93nqdz9vx6
In either direction - outward with telescopes like JWST or inward with atom smashers like CERN, we’re just going to find more. More stuff, more layers, more complexity. Nature a fractal; the design work behind this iteration of the sim really was a labor of love. nostr:note1qp0jvwyvgff7dz4egpvfn277zfn7nnsn97u9exeswf2jcpcs9y4s4ryee6
Watching Dune (the recent one) for the first time on Netflix. So good. I love hard sci-fi.
Any minute now that “cheaper!” “faster!” renewable dividend is going
to kick in. Any minute now.
As #garlic is apparently this evening’s thing, here’s a small portion of our drying stock, pictured for gratuitous nature/tech dichotomy in front of the Tesla Powerwall that keeps our lights on.
