The day when you realize that if that guy is a Bitcoin OG, then so are you... I thought I was late, but apparently not. #bitcoin #plebchain

Who has worked with nitinol!? I love the idea of making antennas with it. Is it hard to work with? #hamradio #antennas

Time for some 18650s and to spin up the 3d printer. #hamradio #amateurradio #3dprinting

Once you've been silently perma-banned on many mastodon node for just having an opinion that is more nuanced than the prevailing thoughts of the day, you realize how important it is to have more control over your communications. I welcome people to block me if I annoy them, however I don't think I have such strong or radical opinions to be quietly and permanently silenced on many nodes. I consider myself rather rational in my opinions, and I'm not out to damage anyone. I also welcome feedback, and I'm OK with disagreement. If your argument requires silencing others in order to stand... Than maybe your argument can't stand on its own merits... That isnt my fault. Do better, be better. Im saying it again, I think I'm ready to leave the #fediverse... At this point, there isnt much holding me there. #nostr has been a welcome breath of fresh air. #plebchain

Rumors of my death have been greatly exagerrated.

Latest blood tests are in... And its time for me to make some changes. High cholesterol is expected, I have the northern European gene for that, my liver just makes too much cholesterol, but my triglycerides are very high, and my Homeglobin A1c makes me prediabetic. So I've cut out sugar and breads and most cheeses. I also started fiber supplements to bind to the cholesterol in my gut. Tonight was my first treatment of 500mg of niacin. The flush is a bit uncomfortable, it feels like an acute suburn with hot flashes. It made me as red as a lobster. Niacin (vitamin b3) is water soluble, so your body doesn't hold onto it. It helps cholesterol by boosting HDL. Part of HDLs job is to break down LDL.
