Thank you. This was our first build so our style is still crystallizing but your description is exactly how we think about design. I personally think minimal and clean but well executed is the most attractive and timeless aesthetic. We reject trends.

Yessir. Me and my brother ran the build, did project design, all the finish work (interior and exterior) and even did the landscaping.

I used to be a utilitarian. But I’ve learned that aesthetics, workmanship and durability absolutely matter.

I would rather take much longer and pay more to build something beautiful and durable. To me those are the optimal tradeoffs.

Ugly and shoddy stuff is demoralizing and uninspiring. Minimizing those properties in my personal space or anything I build is a priority.

The potential for extreme tyranny is the highest in the countries that have the most military spending and especially in the country with the most viable money printer.

Often military force, surveillance infrastructure and the ability to debase money gets turned inward toward “citizens” when empires begin to collapse.

Sovereign Individual thesis on track 28 years later.

A few more big breakthroughs and a few more big collapses and it can become a reality.

Legitimate individual freedom isn’t far off. Stay the course.

It is high res data from Greenland ice cores. Who made this specific high res graph I do not have a source for but the Greenland ice core data can be found here: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-021-22241-w/figures/1

Really wish I could get all of the warming spikes in high res on demand but I’ve never found it. Rate of change of earth’s warming has clearly been much more dramatic in the past and had nothing to do with atmospheric co2 or humanity in general.

Lmao look at earth’s average temps zoomed out:

Daily reminder: anthropogenic climate change is a lie and scam.

Holy shit that’s a long work trip. How do you like Korea? Were you in Seoul only?

Absolutely. Terminology warfare centers around very specific terms. But can’t talk about a terms misuse without using the term.

Whenever someone disparages capitalism I immediately say “what is capitalism?” and literally not one person has ever even come close to giving me a correct answer.

I was in the parking lot directly across from the no king (aka the other king) protest and some fat old lady was waddling toward the crowd with an anti-trump sign.

I said “excuse me” to get her attention and then asked her why she didn’t want to protest against the federal government as an institution.

She was shocked, paused for a bit, then said “because we need somebody to keep the corporations in check!” I pointed out the fact that corporations wouldn’t exist without legal status from the federal government and wouldn’t have representative politicians to capture if there was no federal government.

Again, pauses, getting angry now. She bursts out finally: “oh you’re just a libertarian!” and tries to scuttle away.

I said “I’m an anarchist. But that has no impact on the reality of what I pointed out. Wake up lady.” 😂

I don’t disagree and I believe Mises has referred to capitalism as “natural order” at some point.

I’m speaking about that specific term because it’s the word that’s actively being used as an attack vector.

By definition they are deferring consumption to build capital goods and/or accumulating capital in your example. Two fundamental tenets of capitalism. Capitalism as defined by the Austrian school is an innate and wholly natural process for many more intelligent species.

It is absolutely not a coincidence that mainstream fake radical rhetoric is virulently anti-capitalism.

The global propagandists have successfully conflated the negative effects of fiat-theft, taxation, centralization and regulation with the term capitalism.

Capitalism at least when defined by the Austrian school is a process of civilization that has been ubiquitous across humanity despite epoch, location and circumstance.

The fiat standard and principles of economics lectures have been cap stones in my ascent out of the fiat matrix.

It’s time. Operation NPC is a go.

With all of the documented astronomically insane shit that intelligence agencies have pulled you think a funeral is hard to fake 😂😂

Just had a phone conversation with a full blown commie and it was so hilarious.

Immediately pointed out that without incentives nothing hard or dangerous will get done. Their argument was “incentives are a fallacy, artists create art for free every day!”

Lmao one of the most retarded humans I’ve had the misfortune of speaking with in a long while. They rage quit after 5 minutes.

“Living in a van down by the river” used to be a joke about losers.

Now it’s a normalized lower middle-class habitation option 😂

Here is a whiner support group note crying about their hurt feelings on nostr 😂 aka a nice little unfollow pack

full report for friends asking:

Freak accident last night, slipped and fell at a BBQ, and a fillet knife sliced my peroneal nerve and a major artery, all the way into my shin bone. I didn’t feel anything, but I looked down and saw my bone and the wound pouring.

I was bleeding out fast. I applied pressure with my hand directly on the exposed artery and bone and hopped over to my friends. My friends and I tied a tank top around the wound, jammed in a pen for a makeshift tourniquet, wound it up tight to stop the bloodflow, then made two more above and below the wound with our shirts. That quick response bought me enough time for my friend to get me to the ER.

We waited in the ER for about an hour before getting seen by a nurse. She opened the tourniquet, took pressure off, and she got sprayed, shin exposed, artery wide open. She tried to clean it a bit the we out the pressure back on. Then we sat in the hallway to wait for a doctor.

The ER doc said they weren’t equipped to stop the bleeding. At this point I’m getting dizzy and shaky cause the shock was wearing off. Very nervous. They said they weren’t outfitted to handle that kind of bleeding, so they didn’t want to dress it. They spent some time debating whether to gamble and try to close it themselves, or spend hours transferring me to a severe trauma surgeon in another hospital.

Finally, one doctor made the call. He joked I was holding up the patient line. He opened the tourniquet, cleaned the wound, and stitched the artery, deep tissue, fascia, and everything back together, inside and out. Two hours and several injections of antibiotics and pain killers later, I was stitched up and stable.

I’m home now. Stuck in bed, leg elevated. Can’t walk or move much. The pain didn’t hit until this morning and it’s unbearable to be honest. Never had anything like it. The doctors said I’m incredibly lucky.

Still waiting to see if I’ll need surgery, depending in how the nerves and tissues heal, and how bad the nerve damage is. Had a nice house call today to reassess and clean and get more pain killers and antibiotic injections. They said fortunately it was a very sharp knife, so the nerves may reconnect smooth. There’s a lot of parts of my leg that numb out randomly, and some drop foot when I try to move, but I’m optimistic it will heal well. Not too much bleeding so the artery seems good. Just monitoring for infection and trying to manage pain and inflammation now.

No swimming, no jiu-jitsu, no walking for a while. But I’m really grateful for the helpful visitors, my neighbors, the support, and especially the friends who stayed calm under pressure and saved my life.

Anyway, accidents happen. Going as well as can be. I’m definitely going to invest some more time into emergency prep, and I think it's worthwhile for everyone to consider learning some basics too. If you have any suggested material on this please send it 🤙

That’s a crazy story holy fuck glad you’re alright

Nothing to see here. Eat ze bugs to reduce your carbon footprint…

I already answered you. Becoming adequately fat adapted takes a long time, up to two years. In that time, the person become fat adapted loses all unnecessary fat.

So a properly fat adapted person cannot be fat.

So many tre flips have been done, but some just stand out.

In many instances: style > substance

Rial was one of the last of his kind.

Here is the final portrait I shot of him. Blood scattered cheek, hand rolled cigarette in his mouth. A real Patagonian legend.

Man, this hits in the feels. I have so much respect for Rial ever since I watched that doc and have rewatched it many times since. Amazing to see his face pop up here.

Are you Argentinian? You seem to know all of Patagonia and live there like it’s your playground. So righteous. I want to spend more time in Argentina and possibly move there part time and get a passport if possible. My favorite place I’ve ever been.
