figured out today if i move my main solar array about 60 feet, i can probably double direct sun exposure time. get to work 💪☀️🔋

hot day beverage: polar seltzer with a tablespoon of Sicilian lemon juice, and a few drops of stevia extract 🤌

one of the great privileges of life: taking a rest from work, and having a dog trot over and flop on you.

be more cautious of consensus than offending the mob

if speaking against the actions of the government and religious leadership of Israel is anti-Semitic, Elijah, Elisha, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Jesus were anti-Semitic.

the momentum of this culture seems to want to push you into one of two “either or camps” if you hold any conviction at all. it’s requiring more skill to hold conviction, and stay out of that. but there are certain topics that are easier than others.

@ben are you still roasting coffee?

turns out, two ceramic plates stacked in a cast iron pot and covered with a ceramic bowl makes a pretty good makeshift bread oven over a fire. 🔥 👍

Persicaria hydropiper. aka water pepper. aka arse-smart from old english lore, because of what it does after you eat it. a spicy wetland plant with a horseradish like punch.🥊 its taking over a corner of the front yard, which im fine with.

if they sign the MOU, Iran won.

ive been having times in the morning of drifting in and out of dream state. seems like some profound insights are being presented to me in that space, but i can never remember. i want to spend more time there, and remember more.

the number of actual, patient, action taking radicals around you is much smaller than the many trend followers around you would have you believe

pondering the genius of this Iranian design. the dome acts as an evaporative cooler. the towers use warm air’s tendency to rise to create draft, forming a natural heat pump of sorts, pulling warm air up, and cool air from underground in. once a year in winter, ice is packed into a pit under the dome. a fridge that runs on its own with no moving parts for a year at a time. this design is several millennia old.

it is my belief that within our lifetime we will see the reversal flow of the great evil that murdered millions of christians in rural Russia. their blood still cries out. many many young Russians will be drawn to faith. and their fervor will spread far beyond the borders of Russia. and in my opinion, that is the real reason the spirit of Empire in the earth has been so intent on trying to destroy her.

Russia is rising in the earth. you can feel it.

watching the sun come up while laying in your bed outside in the summer is cheating at life ❤️
