GM Derek! Time to wrap up delivering baby turkeys here and head back for one more load to deliver tomorrow… then the weekend finally! (And a little more time to play with the 3D printer)

Does anyone know of a 3-D printing file for making some sort of case, that would hold multiple bit axes? I am thinking of something similar to a boombox from the 1980s… size wise.
I am new to 3-D printing, and I’m thinking about learning to make my own bitaxes. As a trucker with a hotspot, I was thinking I could bring this boombox sized carry case in my semi, and be mining bitcoin (slowly!) as I roll down the highway all week.
does anyone have any info, or might be able to help design one?

Anyone going to be trying the new Oakwind server when it launches? Just started on Mischief and like it there… much more active population than any of the other servers I’ve checked out. Almost like back when EQ launched in ‘99 :)
Thinking I’ll be staying on Mischief, but maybe for the 25th anniversary server they’ll use the same rule set with randomized drops…

Hunh, never did bots on EQ… I did use macros on Asheron’s Call to work skills when I went to bed. Always thought skills being more important than just level made a lot of sense.. :)
These days even more than earlier, I just sort of play and have some fun, when it’s not fun then time to switch to another activity or take a break.
I really like the Hero’s Journey line of quests they have now. Good rewards and gives goals to strive for.

Any Everquesters on here? Any who played when it launched in March 1999? What servers have you played on, or which do you recommend these days? Going to try the new Oakwynd TLP? Or on Mischief/Thornblade?
After 24 years, so much has changed, but still so many more things to do. I never had an interest in #WoW after seeing their cartoony style and pink and purple trees on a buddy’s computer. Can’t access my original account, so started a new one and have had fun exploring #Norrath again. Even as a free player, loads to do, and it helps the time go by quicker as a trucker as far as time on the road… :)

Never got into the FF lineup although some friends did. Same with WoW, both were too cartoonish for my taste. Especially WoW’s pink and purple trees back in the day! LOL
These days EQ is dated, but many fond memories help keep my interest and so much additional content. Never was into raiding much, but now I can solo a lot with a mercenary/merc NPC, and have found a friend who I enjoy duoing with. Soooo many quests, tradeskills, exploration to do, etc. and the best part is I can play for free.
When finances straighten out a bit, I do want to pay for a subscription… think it’s about $10/month if you pay annually. I’d like to support it and they release two new servers yearly plus expansion packs… May not pay for those, since they mainly add more end game stuff.
Will try to check out those ones you mentioned though :)

Love it, Al bough sometimes hard to get good sleep as a trucker. Wacky hours often don’t help.
What does help me is a good mattress (just got one on Amazon for $200/shipped (10” thick, twinXL, seems like 2” of foam on top of the coils but feels great and sleeping great the last 3 nights since I got it, vast improvement over that stock foam 6” mattress the company gave me!)
Also, I like a diffuser some nights with lavender essential oil, and a black screen video with thunder and rain sounds from YouTube. I wake feeling refreshed so far!

Started playing EQ about 2-3 weeks after it’s launch in March 1999. Been fun visiting and amazing to see how far it’s come and explore new areas during my relax time.
I still think the structure of how Asheron’s Call allowed you to TRULY customize your character instead of being stuck into one class, was superior. However, EQ was far more social and that made it better for the long haul.

Nice! My buddy said if I can learn to spread gravel with a dump truck that I’ll have all the work I can handle and more. Only two gravel haulers in the county, and he said he’d buy the truck… so, May try that in another year or two. For now still working to set up side hustles on our farm :)

Heya Nicole, I hear you from time to time on Jack’s podcast. Someday I may have the free time to attend some sort of workshop at his place or yours. :)
For now, most days of driving I listen to a lot of podcasts, BTC has been a big focus lately. Sometimes music, but usually learning or chatting and sharing what I’ve learned. My buddies have said they feel they got the Cliff Notes version of biochar or different permie subjects! 😂

I’ve been using Strike for about a year now, myself since #JackSpirko mentioned it, and really like it. Simple and effective, although was a pain in the rear to set up for me (not super techy so probably that’s on me!)

#GrowNostr #trucking #tsp
Ah, the trucking life… 4 weeks out then 6 days home with pay, and the occasional 10 hour or 34 hour break at home in the middle! Seems a good deal compared to many trucking companies, and overall it works well for me. However, it’s trucking and you can mostly count on something odd to happen.
Take this trip for example… got an extra day at home (great), got loaded up and slept in the truck since my appointment was early enough that I didn’t want to wake up the wife for a ride to my rig at 0 dark thirty. Got up and did my pretrip, drove to the shipper, checked in and found out that apparently my work order was wrong and they are short about 200 cases because they had me scheduled for 0700 TOMORROW! Sigh
LOL, can laugh about dumb stuff like this or cry, generally I prefer laughter… but, still a bit frustrating! 🤪🤪🤪😂

LOL, I’m not a huge dog person but my wife is. After 12 years married she finally has had two dogs, although one disappeared and we had seen folks trying to lure him into their cars before. He was a very well fed lab/Pyr mix, but always beat up the girl, and pushed her out of the way for patting!
So, we miss him as he was super friendly to us, but the last couple months with just her she has really opened up and let’s even the wife and I pay her almost any time. The kids she has always let them, and she is super protective of them. So, really, she is more of a KGD (Kid Guardian Dog) than anything else these days! She is also friendly with our cats, haven’t tried her in the same area with the hens and roos, and we’ve not lost a single bird to predators since we first got them last year. The coyotes yip, but not near our place… 😍😂

Learning to harrow… tired of watching the soil blow away in the wind, or little gullies growing! Thankfully, my buddy loaned me a 14’ harrow and the next day his cone seed spreader, then harrowed again yesterday. Last night was driving rain for a couple hours 😱😢😂
What can a guy do? Gotta drive a truck to pay off the place, limited time to be at home working… so, I do what I can. 😉🙂
In basically 3-4 days I got the #pigs moved from the old house to new house and fenced in through some woods, seeded 65 pounds of clover and wildflower seed, and got all 3 #Layens swarm traps up so hope to catch my first #bees this year. Tired and back to the road to just work and sleep the next couple days!

#GrowNostr #NWMissouri #KansasCity #pigs
Good news, I think we may have some piglets on the way from the pigs we bought last year. Pure bred #IPPs (Idaho Pastuered Pigs), great quality lard and bacon, smaller than standard pink pigs and take longer to finish but they love grass and ragweed and eat much less feed than standards do.
Follow or holler at me if interested in either registered piglets or feeders. Weaning time is about 8 weeks after birth, so will keep folks up to date. Will try to get pics also, but harder to do when on the road frequently.

As a #nonresidentalien I don’t see zaps or any BTC as being “effectively connected income” to a trade or business within the United States/federal government. I guess “citizens or resident (aliens) of the United States” would still need to report it since they treat ALL income AS gross income, worldwide.

#GrowNostr #homesteading #JackSpirko #CountryLife
Thanks Jack for being such a jerk! Thanks in large part to you, I finally convinced the wife to move out of a major city almost two years ago. Now, look at this rough view we have to see since she hasn’t put up any curtains in our newly built, super efficient ICF home on 31 acres.
Now, I have a longer list of chores to do every time I come home from driving a truck… but she’s happy and so are the kids, so I keep finding ways to plug away and make it as entertaining as possible!
I think after we butcher the two steers we have, we are going to stick with just her #chickens and #IPPs (IdahoPastueredPigs), and my (hopefully soon) #bees with the swarm traps we built, #foddertrees, and #biochar!
The goal is to get off the road in the next year or two and just work of some side hustles here… :)

My wife loves her chickens… but, I don’t understand her organization of which eggs are oldest! LOL 😂 I know, as long as they don’t have the bloom washed off they are good for 30-40 days on the counter.
So many things learned from farmers and homesteaders. Why do we do so many things backwards in the USA? Many countries it is illegal to sell washed eggs… just glad we get 8-10/day from our little flock and not the store. These days 28 eggs is like $14 worth or so I think, unless you buy the crummiest commercial ones!

I remember when EverQuest came out in 1999, March. A few weeks after my oldest was born. Ex wife and I played with him on a boppy pillow nursing on her lap! Played for a year or so, very social game. Revisited a couple years later briefly…
Now, as a trucker, some days I have time to go play that original MMO. Some weeks have more sit around time, and am gone from home, so have been enjoying experiencing the 25 or so expansions they have put out in the last 24 years! No pressure now though, just play and do what I feel like… explore, do quests, no raiding and no pressure.
When at home though, I rarely turn on my laptop… have kids and a wife, #homesteading takes a lot of my time, at church or church activities when possible. Living in a small town and having 31 acres to try and manage is enough most days, and more than enough the rest of them days. LOL
Still, some #Everquest has been fun, and these days can play as a free account, just don’t have access to ALL the content. 90% could keep me busy for a long time though!

#GrowNostr #homesteading I’m curious how many other folks have an #LGD that help provide their own food? Our 1 yr old female Great Pyr hardly has a day go by when we don’t see her with a new chew toy or snack. Today was a baby bunny, last time I noticed was a raccoon, she’s brought home deer legs, skulls with antlers and meat on them, and one time an entire deer! I’d guess 75-100 pounds, and it took her and our other big dog almost a week to reduce it to a twisted hide. #carnivore dogs wanted a break from dog food I guess 😂🤪😁

Getting started on a retort myself, but my understanding is that good biochar should not leave a black mess on your hands after handling. Pick it up, play with it and should be able to rinse your hands with just water, not needing soap or scrubbing.

Hey, no problems! Not sure as I mainly wanted it for our RMH… never thought about buying dimensional, since we’re fairly broke after just building a house. 😱😂
We got a lot of the lumber for our house, forms, etc from an Amish lumber mill in Southern MO, last year. I think we figured even with the labor for cutting and planing some of it we still saved about $5,000 on the wood for the house, compared to buying at the big box stores.

That’s what I’ve heard. Getting started at 53… so, can pick and choose. I’ve heard podcasts from a lady who has spent 15 years standardizing on langstroth mediums and she tried one Layens and loves it but hard to change with so much invested in the first style.
Maybe start off small, and as you need or want more in the future, transition? New to it all, so maybe I am just speaking crazy :)

Been wondering about it, as several Amish lumber mills in the area and I can buy bundles of about 1/3 cord for $5/$10 for soft/hard wood trimmings. Burned them in the rocket mass heater in our new house, and I think we spent $15 on wood this past winter. Wasn’t well seasoned though

For the smaller drums, check Craigslist. The ones I got had chicken fat in them from a plant… more expensive than the 55s. Were $5ea for 55s, and I think $10ea for the smaller ones, both prices were for buying 10+ at once. Glad to have 31 acres to spread out in now…lol

Adult time is important but harder to find now. Son wants to go trucking again this summer :) daughter not so sure… good times, especially since buying 31 acres almost 2 years ago.

What do they think #biochar is? Pure carbon, and lasts for hundreds if not thousands of years. Look up “terra preta”, the natives had enormous cities in the Amazon but when some lost conquistadors saw it and reported it when they got back to “civilization “, they were laughed at cause everyone “knew” jungles don’t support cities.
Now, we can see they spoke the truth, and that soil made over centuries? is still some of the richest on earth. Maybe they could just go listen to #tsp (the Survival Podcast) and find one or all of #JackSpirko ‘s pods on it…

A suit that fits? The horizontal hives are neat, wish I could help more hands on with the builds, but as a trucker my time is very limited currently!
I think our group from the KC FreedomCell has built/is working on about 12 traps and 6-8 hives? We met up through Telegram back around election day in 2020, and a core of us have been on there or doing things together in person ever since. The traps are running about $75 and the hives a bit over $200.

Looking forward to #GrowNostr ! Anyone around the Kansas City area or Des Moines that practices #KNF (Korean Natural Farming) or #JADAM ? Interested in acquiring some JS…

Thanks, trying to ease into this and not super active yet. Good to have options though!

At 53, this is now my plan too… been DCAing into BTC the last year. Also bought 31 acres and built a new and efficient house on it and used my 401k funds to do so last year. Pigs, cows and chickens and planning to keep driving a semi until it’s paid off, hopefully in the next year or two.

I like eggs in butter or bacon grease, but grease has a little bit of an edge!

After 4 weeks on the road, looking forward to breakfast burritos when I get home today with eggs and sausage from our homestead! Still buying butter since we have no milk animals yet, just beef steers, pigs and chickens! LOL

The chart doesn’t go to 40 characters sadly… I was really wondering, since I usually just set a few special characters and numbers as a minimum.
Over 40 characters won’t fit in some password entry spaces though! 🤬😂

Sounds like they are getting scared and throwing word salad in the fan to try and bolster whatever they think they can get away with.
BTC and Nostr seem to this pleb to go around or mitigate most of the issues they consider important… if not in a manner that I think they’d approve! 😉🤣

GN all you crazy, wonderful Nostriches! 😁🥰😉

Amethyst so far on this old iJunkPhone is the only one I’ve tried so far. Willing to try a browser based one… gotta get out of my comfort zones for sure to be able to learn new stuff! :) thanks for the tip

Does anyone have suggestions for a Nostr client that doesn’t require Google Play Services? Amethyst says it is required on my new Pixel 6 running GrapheneOS.
New to FOSS, but trying as an old guy! LOL

Is my LN zap icon working? Sorta new, but struggling along to fight the hood fight and transition moneys as an old guy so I can teach my kids! :)

Oh, and I went with Pixel 6/256GB from swappa.com for about $230, including shipping and tracking

I think this is the Way… just bought a pair and my IT buddy is setting them up. Says Graphene was super easy and smooth to install. Make sure the phone is unlocked AND OEM unlocked was his main advice

Hah! Just got our first two pigs we raised, home from the butcher today, and that post reminds me of my wife’s reaction to cooking them. She said “Muy ricisimo!” And is looking forward to our bacon for breakfast in the morning. 😂❤️🐖

Man, guess I am kinda old and a late comer in some senses, just got on Twitter a couple months ago, and already trying to migrate over here. I need a “Private, Decentralized software for Dummies” book! LOL

What about deGoogled Pixels running GrapheneOS? Asking cause I don’t know… hard to relearn a lot of this stuff as an old guy, but I’m trying! 😁😂

Not supposed to go up yet this week… payday is Friday, the more it goes up the fewer sats making up 10% of my pay! LOL 😂

Well said, in 2021 we moved from a city of 1.6M people to 31 acres outside of a town of 316 people! We love it, have pigs, cows, chickens and getting bees this year if the swarm traps work. None of us would ever go back to living in a city!

Well, guess I fit most of those. Not so sure about the knowledge about tech part though… rather uncomfortable as a 53 year old dude less than halfway to the left of the decimal! 😉😂

Hah! Rather like why are folks trying to eat pea protein when there are so many tasty cows and pigs available?
