I do think reshoring manufacturing is a good idea though, so yes, the depth of my regardation knows no bounds
not in any way as inspiring or elegant of an example as your friend; such a worthy benchmark for how one spends time with one’s tech
On cue, in a rudimentary way nostr was part of my dream last night, lol. I was struggling to crop a photo on my device to add to a note. The photo was of an intriguing staircase from the interior of a middle eastern restaurant where I was staying as a guest with family friends. The finished interior and occupants would only appear by some kind of esoteric revealing technique or spell.

Had to rest with this a moment. That’s a nice example and image of your friend—and others—in the merging of body, craft (in two senses) and imagination for his transformed potential and grace 💜
Would love to hear some of your musings.
Some candid associations that came up, it makes me think about all our technological prosthetics in a more human sense. How I feel extended in craft and medium, how they unlock interactive and time based mediums and process. Do I dream through them? New tech prosthetics have created new [day] dreams for me, it’s why I use them after all; maybe night dreams too? I’m not as sure about that, but maybe in some archetypal way

The DOJ gave three rationales for the argument, all packed into a doorstopper of a footnote: (1) the government creates money, so you can't own it; (2) the government can tax your money, so you don't own it; and (3) the Constitution allows the government to spend money for the "general welfare."

lol what an inspirational message
I think it was around Larvik in the South. This was more than 20 years ago. I remember how charming the pastel houses were among the low light and frosty ground.
🙌
but if there is a hot war and the productive capacity of a country has been farmed out to an adversary, so maybe a national security reason to reshore a manufacturing base.
But won’t tariffs also introduce a lot of uncertainty going forward—because it changes the incentive structure between nations?
Spent a winter solstice in Norway years ago and remember this light and color well. It is very special.

Taking a Nostr break . 👋🏽
hope your break was rejuvenating
very necessary as a practice generally
I remember this one being fun (some decades ago so ymmv)
your reply is very genuine and voluntarily offered. I therefore understand you are an individual making individual choices.
My view is that’s what makes a society where different people have the right to practice society in their own way without a fundamentalist saying they are wrong and don’t have the right to practice in their own way.
do two fundamentalisms make a moderation?
