If you can get ahold of a huge load of wood chips (call some local tree guys), throw about 6" layer chips on top of the fabric over that entire area. Wait a year, pull up the fabric, rake everything flat and then do it again. Literally the only way to kill the stuff is snuff it out longer term. Looks like you've got a good start! GL~!

This is totally true in any interaction, whether online or in real life. We should definitely always be considerate that people have lots going on in their own lives that may affect their interactions or responses to certain situations– However we should never ignore or forgive blatant ignorance and/or willful animosity.

That applies for chicken eggs, not duck or goose. Duck eggs are generally collected much dirtier than chicken eggs and do not have the same porous shell as chicken eggs. Therefore it’s a good idea to clean them for longer term storage.

Excellent price for duck eggs imo. We used to sell them at farmer’s markets $6.50/six-pack and couldn’t keep them in stock.

You should be able to fairly easily replace only the faulty drive and resliver the ZFS pool.
Also look into enterprise grade drives if you’re running a node on ZFS- there is a lot of write activity, so you should be using high TBW drives as this will wear standard consumer drives out very quickly.

The state expends a huge portion of its time and resources creating division between different groups and between individuals– convincing the public it’s us versus each other; instead of us versus them. Whenever people are willing to stand together in a common cause, whether with foresight and planning, or perhaps only through brute necessity; the state instantly looses a large portion of its power to oppress the individual.

@npub1qdw…snsp can’t help with tax stuff but feel free to dm if you need some tips or help getting set up accepting Bitcoin directly!
Re cash flow: since it looks like you’d be accepting both usd and Bitcoin my advice would be to hold any Bitcoin earned from sales in sats as reserve. Any sales made in usd can be used to pay bills, suppliers, etc.
Personally I would stay away from Coinbase commerce. I understand the convenience factor, but you lose custody of any Bitcoin collected and also lose a hefty percentage in fees to their platform. No different than dealing with a credit card processor.

For me it's largely ideological. If I am going to save in Bitcoin, I'm also going to use it as money. I try to opt out as much as possible from the fiat system– Currently 90% of the way there but the last 10% is the hardest! Some chains are really hard to break and if I didn't have a mortgage I'd be much easier to live outside of fiat world altogether.

As a huge proponent for both earning & spending Bitcoin I agree 100%. SOV is important - but ultimately the more Bitcoin is used in every day tx and the more things we can use Bitcoin for, the stronger and more resilient the SOV becomes.

Yeah you will almost certainly need to download the chain from scratch. If you want to attempt this you would need to stop lightning during the process. Remove knots, install core and then let it sync. Once it’s fully synced you can start LN again. Might be worth checking with Start9 team if there is a way to do this since you may even have trouble removing knots without removing LN since it’s technically a dependency. Hard to say for sure without giving it a try.

I was living in Ramallah, West Bank at the time and had driven into Jerusalem for the day.
It was on Yom Yerushaláyim (Jerusalem Day), an Israeli national holiday that commemorates the "reunification" of East Jerusalem with West Jerusalem following the Six-Day War of 1967, which ended with Israel occupying East Jerusalem and the West Bank. A celebration that marks the holiday is a flag-flying parade known as the Dance of Flags with Jewish Israelis parading through the streets waving Israeli flags, singing, chanting and often taunting passing Palestinians. It’s a day of celebration for Israelis, but obviously tensions often run high and clashes tend to occur.
On the way back through the checkpoint to enter the West Bank, driving in our Israeli plated car (yes there are literally different color license plates to keep people segregated and so soldiers know who to pick on) and there had already been some minor scuffles.
So yeah two white guys pulling through the Qalandiya refugee camp checkpoint in an Israeli car right in the middle of a huge crowd of angry Palestinians… things got heated. And my very basic Arabic was not sufficient to deescalate the situation.
I remember looking through the windows of my car at the screaming faces, realizing they literally wanted to kill us. And then, in the middle of the chaos, right as the stones started to fly and the glass began to shatter – was an old man, an imam, standing quietly and watching the situation unfold. He understood what had happened. It was a case of mistaken identity and that we meant no harm to anyone and had simply found ourselves in the wrong place at the wrong moment.
He let out a single shout in Arabic above the noise and the young men immediately stopped. His presence was immense, though he was completely calm in appearance and speech. He looked at me directly in the eye, said quietly in Arabic: “مع السلامة” (Ma’a-s-salama) “Go with God” and stretched out his arm pointing towards an opening in the crowd.
I took that moment to jump over the median and drive away to safety.
More than anything else from that day I remember the strength and look of peace in that man’s eyes and it still humbles me every time I think of it. #freepalestine🇵🇸 https://image.nostr.build/4ead2e1189e862a5dbe1d7a0f4725aca246572027ebc0141faa56e8038f3e1f7.jpg https://image.nostr.build/7032f2056d109237cf9a8e081cef18124f87b82364d5b2df69b4e596e1f88b88.jpg

But 5M, 10M or even 20M sat routings are becoming commonplace as the network matures. At least a few times a week I am seeing these types of payments pass through my node.⚡️
The largest this month was 24M sats in a single payment, for which I earned 31,081 sats in routing fees (1295ppm).

Excellent discussion and lots of good points in there!
You are right to focus on what you are good at / what you are passionate about! Too many farms think they have to do it all- perhaps consider teaming up with another vegetable market garden and combine their offerings with your meat. A combined CSA is a great way to add value to both enterprises, you both get to focus on your specialties and provide customers with a more well-rounded selection.
Also highly agree that so many people make the mistake of undervaluing their item and labor and sell at a loss without even realizing it. Only to add yet another enterprise on top to try and make things work. Slippery slope!
