Harmony Through Horseshit: China's Noble Path to Collective Delusion

How 1.5 Billion People Agreed That Nothing Is Real and Everything Is Permitted

Rationality is solo sport in world rewarding team play. This guy has so many interesting takes. Entertaining read.

Virgin Births, Vegas Odds: POLITICS

Where the rational animal votes against its own interests while calling everyone else stupid.

Either I'm not online enough or my focus on decentralized solutions is paying off because I don't usually notice when these "internet outages" happen. Kind of like the government being shut down.-Can't say I really noticed that either.

I am enjoying the #OpportunityCost app. Give it a try. It does make you think.

Just a few photos from the garden. Very excited to maybe get a decent amount of grapes this year. And for the garlic-from-seed people- do you save the tiny little garlic looking things from the bloom too, or just seeds? #garlicstr #grownostr #gardenstr

Too warm to run the big miner. Just got my @Solosatoshi.com 🇺🇸 BitAxe up and running. How exciting. Wish me luck! 🤞 😄

So far, I can't say enough good things about @Alby 🧡 and their support team. I have (I think) finally gotten my Alby Hub figured out on my @Start9 server . Even though I am not at all technical, I am the "Uncle Jim" for my family. Alby Hub is a handy tool for creating wallets for friends and family for a little fun sats. And you don't need a Start9 to take advantage of it. Admittedly, I am probably not scratching the surface of all it can do. I would recommend the Alby Hub for anyone who is in a similar role with their family.

I thought I had fixed my wallet issue, because now I can zap others. I suspect not-can someone try zapping me?

New baby goats today.

3 new mugs. Hand thrown on a wheel by my husband. 40K sats per mug. $15 USD for shipping one. $20 USD shipping for 2. (Of course we will convert to sats at the time of purchase) Message me if you are interested. (Prices are for continental USA shipping)

I have chickens. I have been mostly carnivore for a few months. How have I not heard of scotch eggs until now? Thanks, @npub1u2vu...afsv . Can't wait to try them! https://www.marthastewart.com/scotch-eggs-recipe-8629106

3 new mugs. Hand thrown on a wheel by my hubby. I think these all hold about 12 oz each (I can check again if it's important) 30K sats per mug. 18K sats for shipping. 24K sats for shipping 2 at once. Message me if you are interested. (Prices are for continental USA shipping)

Just a few scenes from around the yard. Happy for spring to be here. I have some American Bresses, Svart Honas and easter egger/swedish flower hen crosses in the incubator. #grownostr #chickstr

Newsweek

In-N-Out closing California office, opening new Tennessee HQ

The California staple has announced it is consolidating two offices in the Golden State, closing its Irvine headquarters after 30 years.

A California icon is leaving California

So I apologize to everyone for this $80K corn. It seems to be without fail that when someone I really care about finally takes my advice and buys a significant amount, the price promptly dips. 😥

more #ElZonte #ElSalvador #BitcoinBeach photos: There seems to be a lot of development happening here. Several new high rise condos seem to be in the works. Floppiest ears on a cow

Sprouting grains for the chickens. I use lids made for straining paint to rinse them 2x/day.

I would love to open a BTC -themed restaurant just so I could put SHA 256 hashbrowns on the menu.

Spent the day making salsa from my overflowing garden produce. Just gave a jar to my neighbor when she brought over a loaf of sourdough from the loaves she spent the day making. It isn't exactly the "circular economy" that we bitcoiners are striving for- but still pretty great.🧡
