First Tuesday Coffee Chat

*in the winter.* What happens in the desert, at night? The ambient temperature drops like a rock. So, if you have micro-turbines in the desert and can open up the conduit to their heat after the sun sets and the temperature drops, it can lend itself and much more efficient/vigorous source of energy. Now, do that in the Amercan desert (US SW or Mexico) and The Sahara, you have two energy sources that can power miners and AI farms for maybe 18 hours of the day/night. As I said before, “The sun never sets, the wind never stops blowing, and the methane never stops burning, in the Bitcoin network.”

I’m mixed on The Terrible Altman. 1.) Suck it, Trebek! Eat Singaporean dick. 2.) a. It is more profitable to sell shovels, water, whisky, and steak (or grool), than it is to pan for and dig for, gold. Good on him. b. The heat batteries have a really good niche, just right off the bat. You can get different media VERY HOT and can keep it if properly insulated and different techniques of storing various energies continue to be investigated. You mentioned hot places; solar panels are actually more effective when the ambient temperature is cooler/colder, so solar is just looking for sunny places. Case in point, you have to measure and make sure your panels in your system don’t overload your controller, in the wi tee.

Good thing the Fud B I are hear to help protect me from 87% of fraud, out there. Pretty cool that Tor is on Amethyst.

Boost for Leaving Las Twitter

Please, someone think of the children! https://youtu.be/phSxxVJCZsc

Great episode and work on both WW’s. It was interesting for both yourself and us to see a different angle with the worst President that we are still living under. #grownostr and recommend to all.

I hear the algos like a big boost over a bunch of little ones, so here ya go...

I hear the algos like one big boost instead of a b7nch of little ones, so here ya go...

apparently, boosting in one big boost is better for the algos than a bunch of little boosts, so...

Regarding Metaplanet buying back stock: I mean, corporations are gonna corporation. It is a valid technique, mired by the long list of other super-organisms that have already looked out for their own self-interest, over the community. Our bias lies in whether we want other BTC corps to follow suit.

For a pallette cleanser, here are some experiments with a low time preference. https://youtu.be/iAw5cxpI2wA

loving the #permaculture lessons. obtaining a yield and stacking functions go hand in hand. I'm using plants that the #deer, #rabbits, #turkey and/or i can eat, to control erosion on a #pond wall. flowering #plants may not produce food, but they look nice, feed the #pollinators and play their part in the #diversity. permanerd mentioned creating edges on ponds... take a look at Chinampas, interesting stuff. I'd like to hear more about oshi's dandelion tea... #smij #zapd long note :) #grownostr

I had 2 bitaxes from 2 different "manufacturers." fried them both. even tho I didn't overclock. I haven't replaced them. thinking #ln node is next for me. collating data. ;) axeOS is open source and can be downloaded so diy'ers can build the hardware and configure.

I did a vanity search online after what @npub1q8gth72n0… said about the transcript and found some of my fountain.fm notes in the results. I was surprised. I expect it. #smij #zapd #yata #grownostr

I use cardboard under #mulch where I want to smother unwanted plants. dry cardboard under mulch acts like a roof and sheds water. with wet cardboard, best to get it good and soaked and keep moist. better yet, shred it before soaking.

so... i'm on facecrap and there's this Danny guy going off about some permadude's 'shitty service and the worst communication'... blah blah blah and i'm like: "whoa, man! u gotta #yata!" #smij #zapd #grownostr

A friend is asking if anyone in the DFW would like a kitten. Comes with a couple supplies. https://primal.net/e/note1sm70rrlatrpt8k76e9rjcck6tq8yvar04…

HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! HOLY SHIT!!! Bechtel is just like Maine (spelling?) from the infamous Confessions of an Economic Hitman! Once you said “truly private company” it reminded me of them, as they don’t have to open their books to scrutiny and the public, besides tax filings.

You get to keep your Natural Sciences Membership Card after realizing it is bad for miners to be mono-cropping their entire income stream. I would have asked you turn it over, otherwise. Are PS3’s hooked together still a thing for supercomputing?

Hey, Mann! I hope all is well.

All I have today is that Meta shut down The Metaverse but bought up Moltbook, the social network for AI models. My stomach hurts at the thought of them being experimented on like we were… #grownostr

LEGAL LOBSTER PERSON SERIES 3/? We talked about what a legal person is, how do we know they have personhood? Well, they have property rights. We normally don’t think about a corporation having property rights, but what else is happening when the agent of a corporation calls the police to report the breaking and entering of one of its buildings? The police are there to report and potentially stop a crime, that of the impedance on the property rights of the corporation. That isn’t just law & order, but the evidence of personhood. Note: Municipalities love bringing in more corporations vs more people in dwellings.. It is more money in taxes with less police enforcement. A corporation cannot beat its spouse and children, but it can write a check for property taxes.

LEGAL LOBSTER PERSON SERIES 2/? Alright, but what is a legal person? We can all explain what a natural person is (I hope). Anything in the Homo genus is considered a human (where the name comes from) and considered a person. Well, a legal person would be any type of corporation. Alright, I’m suspicious. We’ll get into how we know they have personhood, tomorrow.

(Reposting to share on NOSTR) LEGAL LOBSTER PERSON SERIES 1/?: Back in the day, I studied for and attained my Series 6 & 63 Securities licensing (the most basic licenses for selling investments). I learned that there were two types of people, natural and legal. There were meat sacks (shout out IG-88!) and there were pieces of paper. I did not give that much thought until late 2022 or early 2023.

Don’t know if this is a #hottake or not, but if a #police lt. gets themself carjacked, that should be an automatic demotion. https://youtube.com/shorts/k2RRGSA5BoM

“Homo Sapien, Sapien are a cattle to be kept and a crop to be harvested.”

Wow. That seems to be part of the reason that civies aren’t allowed firearms and knives in the commonwealth. If they had them, people like this would have been shot and stabbed, long ago.

Eric #Trump working with the American and Japanese #BTC companies smells an awful lot like Hunter #Biden working with a #Ukraine oil company. I mean, except for the nearly going into World War III. Looks like Eric’s superpower is selling access. #grownostr

In your episode “game stopped ,” you partook in one of the great American past times, bastardizing colloquial phrases. “Opinions are like assholes, everyone has them. So, shit or get off the pot. “ Again, one of the funnier bastardizations I’ve heard in a while. I have some other examples with me of phrases, in their bastardized form: “The proof is in the pudding.” “Pull yourself up by your bootstraps.” “A few bad apples…” “Blood is thicker than water.” “It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than a rich man get into heaven.” “Money is the root of all evil.” “No publicity is bad publicity.” “The customer is always right.” “Dig yourself/myself out of this hole.” “Raising children.” “A Jack of all trades is a master of none.” In all of these instances, the actual lesson that is supposed to be taught is either oversimplified or in many cases the opposite of what people understand it to be. These are great examples of why our owners consider themselves worthy of controlling our lives. The new catchphrase for the United States should be “caveat emptor.” I would wear that shirt of a flowing flag with caveat on top and emptor on the bottom of the screen printed part.

Long time caller, first time listener here. If you look at communities as super-organisms (cities, kingdoms, larger sports teams, corporations), then theft through asset-seizure makes sense as an act of autophagy. The organism wants to survive, so it will liquidate useful macro and micronutrients and tissues from what it considers less-useful members, while labeling them a tumor or cancerous. “They sold drugs” is just an excuse to exorcise a grandma and leave them on the streets. The bolsheviks and red army literally starved villages of families (and came back to make sure they were dying) to take farms, it isn’t outside our government to do something to take bitcoin from people. If you aren’t depressed, give this episode called The Anti-humans a listen to hear what the wave of Soviet Russia coming to town was like. https://fountain.fm/episode/c0fBAToypEDuYYAEZPrb

geoff lawton has a lot of #permaculture videos. paul wheaton's permies.com forum is filled with practical examples of what people are doing with permaculture. Jack Spirko did a multipart series that's excellent too.

I've fallen behind on my #boosting which is why I turned on the streaming. I listen on the road and try to comment at a red light here and there but... ooh, gotta go... ;) #smij #zapd #grownostr #cornbeef & #hashtags

there's gotta be a retractable #gate solution out there. where's the #fence & #deck people? #smij #zapd #grownostr

heard the shout out. thx for thanking me. keep up the good work. #v4v #smij #zapd #grownostr

heard about the #chadandreed podcast on #yata podcast. #bullish on #nostr #bitcoin #permaculture #lots #lftn #soe #tsp #marketing #gardening #foraging and the overuse of #hashtags #smij #zapd #grownostr

great show. ryan is an excellent addition to the expert council.

"it's always something" has been repeated a lot lately around here... especially when I was removing half the engine to replace the battery in my van. luckily I didn't break anything.
