Something I learned last summer: Canada has way higher quality beef than the States, generally. I’m sure there are some great providers out here in the states, but, in general, the meat quality here is sub par.
It’s nice.
In the “similar but different” category I remembered this playground sculpture in the Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar

What do you think is the origin of the enthusiasm for tariffs right now? Mercantilism has so many arguments for how it is counter productive. I’m kind of mystified by why this new approach to trade is the zeitgeist, unless it’s as simple as protecting supply chains for national security reasons. What other arguments are there in favor of tariffs that make sense?

Lots of people here swearing by barefoot shoes. My peeps.
I’ve had many brands, exclusively barefoot, for 15 years at least. As long as it’s flat and flexible, with a wide toe box …
I’ve experimented with thick and thin soles, high and low tops, sandals, dress shoes, running shoes, and even combat boots. … All good for different use cases.
Fixed flat feet, busted ankle, crooked toes, and lots of other issues (some since childhood) over these years … along with plenty of walking and running and various foot exercises.
Lowercase is so on trend these days. Maybe Gossip doesn’t want your old posts to look so … well … older?

I want to make a small hydraulic press with a jack for my small home studio. I haven’t looked into it for awhile. The way I learned was to form copper with dies I made using plexi sheet cut and layered between vulcanized rubber. It’s been many years. But it was something like this. My shop mates and I discovered the most astonishing forms. It was so fun.
Hydraulic press for sure, and still want to learn how to use an English Wheel
Oh hell yes, Ocean State!
😂 that back pain is very familiar. We’re still very much in the repetition phase even at 8 years old. Right now I finished The Magician’s Nephew for the… maybe 10th time?! Oh my god, it’s a challenge. But I do still love that book.

Yes. Minimal friction toward “now you have a wallet” is actually what Primal is doing right.

I don’t like Fauci. I think he is dishonest and self-interested and deserves to be investigated.
The article, however, is primarily pointing to the covid virus itself as the issue, and the window of time post-vaccination when symptoms persist and the virus hasn’t been purged completely may be contributing.
“The researchers concluded that COVID-19 infection “might promote…aggressive [cancer] phenotypes” and warned that cancer patients who get COVID could face worse outcomes.
While this is one specific context (breast cancer cells and one viral protein), it underpins Soon-Shiong’s general concern: the virus can directly alter the tumor microenvironment to the cancer’s advantage.”

“Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest moments are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched.”
Not ultimately an Ayn Rand fan though I appreciate some of her writing, and I do love this.
I don’t know the impact on insects of the example I’ll add to this but it fits the spirit of your note: my grandparents farm came with the obligation by federal or state regulation to remove “noxious weeds,” which apparently had to be sprayed with Tordon. One drop on the leaf of a tree would kill it. My cousins and I carried this on our backs as children, walking over 2000 acres, spraying Leafy Spurge and Russian Knapweed and undoubtedly inhaling aerosolized particles. My grandfather hated the regulation but also sent grandchildren out to spray and eventually, when he saw sense, to pull the weeds, to raise us in a 19th century idea of work and to give the appearance of due diligence. The weeds were never beat, of course, and are endemic now.
This is a treasure and a joy to see. So rare that an artist whose eyes one has the chance to see through brings you, with them, the chance to live through those eyes for a moment, and by extension to live a split second in the life of the subject. Yes like a film but in a way also like a cross section through a vivid dream. I felt this with the paintings and etchings of Otto Dix and I feel this with these photographs. Wonderful—like you said, absolutely of their time and yet one can live in them now.

“I’m sorry, replied the stranger in a soft voice, “but in order to be in control, you have to have a definite plan for at least a reasonable period of time. So how, may I ask, can man be in control if he can’t even draw up a plan for a ridiculously short period of time, say, a thousand years, and is, moreover, unable to ensure his own safety for even the next day? And, indeed,” here the stranger turned to Berlioz, “suppose you were to start controlling others and yourself, and just as you developed a taste for it, so to speak, you suddenly went and…well… got lung cancer…”—at which point the foreigner chuckled merrily, as if the thought of lung cancer brought him pleasure. “Yes, cancer,” he repeated, narrowing his eyes like a cat as he savored the sonorous word, “and there goes your control! No one’s fate is of any interest to you except your own. Your relatives start lying to you. You, sensing that something is wrong, run to learned physicians, then to quacks, and maybe even to fortune tellers in the end. And going to any of them is pointless, as you well know. And it all ends tragically: that same fellow who not so long ago supposed that he was in control of something ends up lying stiff in a wooden box, and those present, realizing that he was no longer good for anything, cremate him in an oven. Why, even worse things can happen: a fellow will have just decided to make a trip to Kislovodsk,”—here the foreigner narrowed his eyes at Berlioz, “a trivial matter, it would seem, but he can’t even accomplish that because for some unknown reason he goes and slips and falls under a streetcar! Would you really say that that’s an example of his control over himself? Wouldn’t it be more correct to say that someone other than himself is in control?”—and at this point the stranger laughed a strange sort of laugh.

I’ve been learning about the fourth state of water through Dr Gerald Pollack’s research of exclusion zone and gel state water, and using chia seed water for hydration and minerals. And then adding Dolf Zantinge’s research with “coherent” water and Dr Dana Cohen’s book and now am kind of obsessed.

Does anyone use @nprofile…kucd 's Orion browser on fruit devices? I'd like to hear about it. I am excited about eventual Android release. We need a browser funded by users and not user data. This might be the only one.
I’m incredibly excited about it, but also in the camp of not being fully in the loop. I will bookmark this note and check back later
In the “No Surprise to Anyone Here” category, enjoy this priceless description of the ETH Denver conference, narrated by normie facing Trad-Fi analysts at the Motley Fool. Scrub to -18:40 on the little player on their website to listen. It’s very comical and more than a bit withering.

damn right.
the weirdest experience: I was sick with flu all last week and stopped drinking coffee to stay hydrated and to be able to sleep as much as possible, and stayed off it since (so 8 days now), and I’ve drunk coffee daily since I was 17 years old (prophylactic from a time I fell asleep driving on the highway).
I think it reactivated some neural pathways that have been dormant since childhood, I’ve had memories and thought patterns reemerge from those times.
Anyway, an observation. ymmv.

Trying to understand what just happened between Trump and Zelenskyy:
- Trump claims WW3 could happen if peace deal isn't reached
- Trump ends the meeting early and kicks Zelenskyy out because Zelenskyy was disrespectful
I'm no statesman but if WW3 is on the line I think tolerance for disrespect would be wise to reach the necessary conclusion?

I miss my 1992 Honda civic that a few friends and I could pick up and carry by hand. The engine was simple, the windows hand-cranked, gas mileage was good, I knew I could drive to the mountains of Montana on one tank.
It’s still out there somewhere at 250K+ miles. It had the unfortunate attribute of being desirable to thieves. It was recovered three times(!)

Good on you for doing your own farming/ranching. There are right ways and wrong ways to grow and deliver what one eats, and it sounds like you are taking control of that variable for your self and your community. That’s commendable.
Don’t you think it’s when prescriptive attitudes and volume delivery take hold that the ways humans eat become corrupted?
I know healthy carnivores and healthy vegans. I know unhealthy carnivores and unhealthy vegans. Polar bears (mostly carnivore) can do well and gorillas (mostly plant based eaters) can do well, right? Like them, humans should probably eat according to their zone as much as possible.

nostr seems like an example of both your perspectives. It is allowing participation in discussion (and maybe eventually representation) for anyone, and it is (in an admittedly small scale way) burning down the systems of narrative control
there can’t be a consensus narrative when things like nostr exist. we have the potential for narrative anarchy here.
GM and Happy Valentine's Day #nostr!
A Taoist story tells of an old man who accidentally fell into the river rapids leading to a high and dangerous waterfall.
Onlookers feared for his life.
Miraculously, he came out alive and unharmed downstream at the bottom of the falls.
People asked him how he managed to survive.
“I accommodated myself to the water, not the water to me. Without thinking, I allowed myself to be shaped by it. Plunging into the swirl, I came out with the swirl. This is
how I survived.”

I believe you.
It’s funny to me, the mismatches that occur in government. Sometimes way too much money is allocated to get things done (F-35 joint strike fighter anyone?), and sometimes way too little, like in NY in 2017, the so-called “genius transit challenge” debacle, summarized thus:
“In June 2017, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) launched the “Genius Transit Challenge,” offering a $1 million prize for innovative solutions to modernize the New York City subway system. This initiative sought proposals to improve signals, communications infrastructure, and rolling stock. However, the tech community and transit experts criticized the challenge, arguing that the offered prize was insufficient given the complexity and scale of the subway’s issues. They emphasized that substantial investment and comprehensive planning were essential to address the system’s deep-rooted problems effectively.”
Gm, not a lot of margin for error on that jump, well done!
One been meaning to listen to this, but maybe I don’t have to. This is probably the best takeaway.

It’s primarily an argument for deregulating housing construction. This includes reducing zoning requirements and essentially removing building codes and allowing builder’s reputation and certification to stand in for government-imposed regulations.
He also says property owners should have greater freedom to develop their land, which he thinks would ultimately increase housing supply and reduce the cost of housing.
Anyone out there that has read this book? I heard an entertaining interviewer with the author and I both vehemently agree and disagree with his take on things. Not sure if I want to actually buy the book yet.

I haven’t had consistent issues with any location lately. It’s automatic for me too now.
Have been using since 2020, it has been generally very good. 5 authorized devices per individual account.
Just recently I had to delete my phone as a device and re-add for some reason, but that’s the main issue, other than on the phone app it seems to have to hop more often than on my ethernet connected pc.
Payment used to be automatic, now it is only manual (so they hold less data, a net positive for privacy). Lightning payment option now.
I want to get there soon! Probably Taliesin West will happen first…

Yes, that’s painfully apparent to me as an art professional. I fell into the rabbit hole of trying to turn an AI into a studio assistant, and it has been engaging in novelty to an extent, but after a year it has become a black hole of attention with highly questionable quality as a result of all the effort.
For some reason I am thinking of Nietzsche’s essay, “On the Advantage and Disadvantage of History for Life.” I feel like there is a parallel waiting to be drawn out. I will have to reread it and see.

Totally. We shouldn’t medicate away our Nietsches or our Kierkegaards
Of course. That’s ideal. Even a form of utopia it would seem, in the face of what is.
I don’t know where you live or what the culture is there. Where I currently live, merit isn’t really the issue in most cases in daily life because there are lots of smart, capable people with experience and integrity from all sorts of backgrounds whose individual merit is more than up to the task. Other forms of competition are present like class based networks and generational wealth that tend to overpower any other measure of merit.
Also, I’m not calling anyone to govern and regulate harder. I do suspect unjust laws and unjust enforcement are two of the biggest obstacles to human flourishing.
It’s probably a conversation that isn’t easily memed with sufficient depth.

Just like how auto updating is discouraged for bitcoin core, the same applies for Nostr relays. While auto updates could promote faster adoption of new features it also presents a risk for relay operators falling victim to a malicious relay developer.

Cmon down to 🇨🇷 for Awake Earth Festival later this month and you’ll have a chance to experience Bitcoin in a hands-on, real life environment.
https://www.awake.cr/awakeearth
Recently we’ve been recommending @npub1tcn…ctu0 and @npub12ct…c5ky's ColdCard. We keep some Jade’s, BitBox, TapSigners and Trezors in the office. We walk people through each, talk about the pros/cons, and let each person make their own informed decision.
In my experience, almost nobody is actually interested in sovereign money when buying/selling $1 coconuts at a farmer's market. But the successful coconut vendor who has now received $500 of Bitcoin IOUs is more interested in learning more about sovereign money. Which is where we come in with free hardware wallets, education & advice. I view it as a back door to hack the mindset of your average person into caring about self-sovereign money.
It’s a choice though, right? Anyone can participate on LN in a permissionless way if they want.
This year at Awake Earth in Uvita, we’re bringing Bitcoin to a new audience in a unique way. Visitors can join us at the Bitcoin Lounge throughout the festival. They’ll be paired up with an expert, one on one. To kick off the conversation, they can pick a topic off the “menu”.
https://m.primal.net/ONFB.jpg
Just because something doesn't interest you makes it a grift?
"We know that software can’t be destroyed and that a widely dispersed system can’t be shut down."
It's urgent to get Bitcoin into the hands of as many people as possible to ensure the success of a widely dispersed system.
If not you, then who?
Here's Uvita, Costa Rica. I am able to live the bulk of my life with Bitcoin here... You say it's insane, but it actually exists. Does the same exist for monero?

Had to rest with this a moment. That’s a nice example and image of your friend—and others—in the merging of body, craft (in two senses) and imagination for his transformed potential and grace 💜
Would love to hear some of your musings.
Some candid associations that came up, it makes me think about all our technological prosthetics in a more human sense. How I feel extended in craft and medium, how they unlock interactive and time based mediums and process. Do I dream through them? New tech prosthetics have created new [day] dreams for me, it’s why I use them after all; maybe night dreams too? I’m not as sure about that, but maybe in some archetypal way

your reply is very genuine and voluntarily offered. I therefore understand you are an individual making individual choices.
My view is that’s what makes a society where different people have the right to practice society in their own way without a fundamentalist saying they are wrong and don’t have the right to practice in their own way.
do two fundamentalisms make a moderation?
There is a conversation to be had here around fundamentalism.
Fundamentalism works well if you want to build a megachurch with a lot of followers, but the walls will be high and thick, and the megachurch isn’t going to get along with others well.
If one wants to live in a society and have an effective society that is run well that involves the right to hold and practice according to different points of view (like what you said, “not believing it’s literally true”), fundamentalism is a really bad idea because, once again, fundamentalists don’t get along with other people well.

Freedom to make expensive mistakes even when somewhat catastrophic (like having the freedom to do one’s own plumbing). One learns fast as a kid this way, so long as one doesn’t physically harm other people and isn’t maimed or killed oneself. Takes a very patient parent.
I just notice that when my kid breaks things, if I don’t scold and interfere she learns how to do it right more fearlessly and in a lasting way.

honest question because I don’t know: chatgpt hallucinated this?
Both DuckDuckGo and Startpage are focused on preserving user privacy, but they take different approaches to achieve this. Here’s a breakdown to help you decide which might better suit your needs:
DuckDuckGo
• Key Features:
• Does not track or store your search history.
• Blocks third-party trackers on websites you visit if you use their browser or browser extension.
• Does not create user profiles, so you see the same search results as anyone else.
• Built on its own search engine index with some results sourced from partners like Bing.
• Advantages:
• Offers a privacy-focused ecosystem, including a browser app for mobile and desktop with tracker blocking.
• No reliance on Google or other major search engines for results, reducing indirect tracking risks.
• Simple, user-friendly interface.
• Limitations:
• Search results may not be as comprehensive or nuanced as Google’s, especially for niche queries.
• The results are partially sourced from Bing, which may limit diversity in indexing.
Startpage
• Key Features:
• Acts as a private front-end to Google Search, delivering Google’s search results without passing on your IP address or search queries to Google.
• Does not log search history or track users.
• Offers a “View Anonymously” feature, allowing you to browse linked sites through a proxy for additional privacy.
• Advantages:
• Provides access to Google’s search results, often considered the most comprehensive and accurate.
• Anonymizes your search activity entirely before interacting with Google.
• Strong focus on European GDPR compliance.
• Limitations:
• Relies on Google’s ecosystem, which might concern users who want to avoid any connection to Google.
• Proxy browsing can slow down page load times.
Which is Better?
• Choose DuckDuckGo if:
• You want an independent search engine that avoids Google entirely.
• You appreciate additional features like tracker blocking and a privacy-focused browser.
• You value a simple approach to privacy without intermediaries.
• Choose Startpage if:
• You want the most comprehensive search results (thanks to Google’s search index) while remaining anonymous.
• You like the option to browse linked pages anonymously via a proxy.
• You prefer European privacy compliance as a priority.
Both are strong contenders for privacy-conscious users, so the choice ultimately depends on your preference for independent search (DuckDuckGo) versus anonymized Google search results (Startpage).

learned this the hard way
I had a professor who once was holding a box of donuts, and when his kid wanted one he said, “you can have a donut but only if you give back the hole”
Mucking around with some phone snap #photogrammetry from a stone building. There were these vegetal motif ornamentations, I’m going to put two back-to-back and fuse them and see what happens with some resculpting.

Anticipation with a little bit of terror
I love it.
He’s so unusual, the films made about him vs the films he makes, all part of the mix of weirdness and it’s fantastic.

GM, this is very cool… well, hot.
this isn’t a terrible two minutes for the plebs who have an IRA with Vanguard or some such that won’t sell you spot
GM ☕ God is doing something new today! Will you allow yourself to be part of it?

I can see the appeal but also feel like there would be some regression

I enjoyed this interview. Thanks to both of you.

I wonder where the spectrum of living organisms falls here in relationship, like from hummingbird to bristlecone pine to giant fungus beneath the state of Wyoming #note174a…tsf4
question is, price life in _baseline growth_ of sats, yeah, for longevity and survival
I think I need a script for that
btw, I was reading about this, the growth in M1 in 2020 involved a reclassification moving savings deposits and money market funds from M2 into M1: https://fredblog.stlouisfed.org/2021/01/whats-behind-the-recent-surge-in-the-m1-money-supply/

mostly I think. withdrawing and depositing cash is a bit odd

Good luck, hope you find someone. The right alignment is challenging sometimes, but I’m sure it’s possible to resolve with the right help.
So hard to fathom. Ex-wildland firefighter here. Have see some very destructive fire but nothing anywhere near this. Lost my grandparents’ place to fire where I grew up. It sucks.
Weirdly, a decade later, everything looks the same except the new structures.

I’ve heard. But looks like your block missed the open flame. Sorry about your pop’s.
whatever became of #teslaq ?

especially TC and Georgia?

I'd say it's probably this:
https://github.com/nostr-protocol/nips/pull/879
This is an actual review NIP, and it can be used to implement QTS, which is an improvement on the standard 5 star rating system I proposed.
I heard @npub16dh…0nkq was going to use QTS for @npub15dc…yv6e and Satlantis is using it for place reviews.
sadly, but maybe in time it won’t be such an issue, just developing more slowly
