Good morning, Nostr! image Certain species of mycorrhizal fungi can form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, allowing them to share nutrients and even warning signals with neighboring plants through a network of fungal hyphae. Perhaps someday we can send and receive data through this underground fungal Internet. Until then, Nostr is pretty cool. Go forth and be productive this week. #grownostr #gm #soil

Some more #proofofwork image Setting a septic tank. Dig a properly sized hole. Bed the bottom with crushed limestone and smooth it out flat and perfectly level. image Then call the tank manufacturer and tell them you're ready. They'll send out a truck to deliver and set the tank in the hole. image If you prepped the hole right, the tank will be level. #grownostr #skilledtrades
My #proofofwork for today. Dug a ditch for a water line. image Now I'm waiting for the inspector from the county health department to approve my wastewater design so I can set the septic tank. She said she would be here this morning, but it's now past noon, so she lied. Probably could have had this job finished by now. But instead have to deal with fiat world bullshit. I'm a state licensed soil scientist and a state licensed wastewater system installer. I've studied soil across four different states before graduating summa cum laude with an Agronomy degree. But more importantly, for 10 years now, I've been evaluating soil and designing septic systems, all of which are still functioning flawlessly. But I can't complete my work until some gen Z county employee who has only held her position for a few months, and who, judging from her questions over the phone, doesn't even know how to interpret her department's own paperwork yet, comes to the site to check and make sure I'm doing my job correctly. On top of that, she can't even show up when she says she will. Fuck government at every level. #grownostr #soil #skilledtrades
And here we have what I'm reasonably certain is the first soil morphology description ever posted on Nostr. This is a typical Southern Missouri upland soil. A silt loam plow layer over a clay subsoil. Taxonomically, the topsoil is not deep enough or dark enough to be a Mollisol, which means it's an Alfisol. More specifically, the clay increase in the subsoil classifies it as argillic, which will make this soil an argiudalf. #grownostr #soil #proofofwork

Mornin' Nostr image The memes tend to say you need popcorn while watching the markets burn, but I prefer pipe tobacco. Sutliff Eastfarthing currently in the bowl. Now off the fiat mines. I have a dip to buy. #pipeandtobacco #getoutside #gm
GM Took the day off yesterday to go kayaking. No Internet, no phone (except to take this pic), just the river, kayak, and friends. Now, it's back to work for the week, and it's going to be a hot one. image #grownostr #getoutside
I'm not particularly thrilled with the US government having a strategic Bitcoin reserve, But I'm pretty sure if the US government doesn't have a strategic Bitcoin reserve in place, then someday in the future when the need for Bitcoin becomes apparent, the government will just seize the Honeypot that is Coinbase custody.
It's 11:30 on a Tuesday morning. Do we know where our president is? Is he conscious, or even alive. In the age of AI, an awkward speaker phone conversation at a press conference is not proof of consent, nor is it proof of life. It really just makes the situation more suspicious. It occurs to me that the people would trust their government a lot more if the government would at least try to conduct itself in a trustworthy manner. #grownostr #collapseofempire
Good morning Nostr We aren't always prepared for the next crazy thing the clown-show news cycle throws at us, but we can be reasonably well prepared for real-world, everyday life. image Frost River haversack Ka-Bar Becker BK-10 Walther PPS Zippo lighter flashlight keys wallet Ka-Bar Becker BK-13 #edcstr #edc #grownostr #knifestr
Saturday afternoon hammock point of view #grownostr #getoutside
I had a rare morning off work with nowhere I had to be until afternoon. As I sat on the porch thinking about what to do with my time, two calves came walking down the dirt road. I walked them back down the road where they went back through the hole in the fence they had escaped through. So my morning activity was decided. I loaded my tools on the fence repair trailer, and patched some barbed wire fence. #grownostr #proofofwork #farmstr
