I’ve been a professional firefighter in California for 20 years. Currently I oversee a vegetation management program to reduce fire risk to communities. We have money, resources and are ready to work. The Environmental regulations however take years to navigate and comply with and consume a large portion of the funds available for this work. California’s entire fire problem is a direct result of foolish policies. It goes back to the USFS suppressing naturally occurring fire for over100 years resulting in excessive fuels in our wild lands. Now the State of California is tying the hands of local communities in repairing the damage through nonsensical environmental regulations that prioritize red legged frogs or “spotted owl habitat” that hasn’t seen a spotted owl since the 80’s over human lives and property. The government will blame everything and everyone except their own policies which are the real culprit. The incentives are so screwed up that no one is really interested in actually fixing the issue because everyone is grifting off the system. Fires are big money for both Private contractors and government employees as is environmental compliance consulting. There, I feel better now. Had to get that out. #fire #grownostr

Insomnia wrecking me lately.

Friends, I just onboarded @Gromit he is a journalist and activist working on South Asian issues. He has over 100k followers on X and his X account is BANNED in India . Hopefully, he will soon post his nsec or lightning address on X. Please welcome him and show him what noster can do for independent creators. South Asian minorities need NOSTR and Bitcoin. ZAP! #grownostr #nostr #bitcoin nostr:npub1d6qssrfucjvmkld9c9xcla7texqeguzcluzvu27kfg2zuq2nvr7sxp72ah nostr:npub1qny3tkh0acurzla8x3zy4nhrjz5zd8l9sy9jys09umwng00manysew95gx nostr:npub1cxp3l03x20mkzezzr4takm8w8zuva7xwvacmcewp97z58hjt8xls3mexlq nostr:npub1sr92xvmaxdmqac64d9exptc2qw9wd2pwd593jhrak0raqt4njnhq50l2qw nostr:npub17xvf49kht23cddxgw92rvfktkd3vqvjgkgsdexh9847wl0927tqsrhc9as

Pork belly’s cured, smoked, sliced, packaged and in the freezer. Time to take a break and enjoy some bacon for dinner.

I was helping a friend create some satire artwork for their activism. The mainstream image generation tools make it difficult to create anything that is even remotely critical of specific public figures. I didn’t want to fight with the model, so jumped over to a bitcoin for compute service provider and was able to anonymously generate the required content for a few sats, This seems like a trend to me, certain critical software tools will only be available if you have a lightning or Ecash wallet with liquidity. In many way, the bitcoin and NOSTR world already has superior tools to the legacy system, they only need some refining and time for discovery. #WebServices #Bitcoin #LightningNetwork #Decentralization #DigitalAccess #NOSTR #ecash

Honest Money. Honest Religion. Honest People.

It’s too bad nostr:npub1sn0wdenkukak0d9dfczzeacvhkrgz92ak56egt7vdgzn8pv2wfqqhrjdv9 isn’t more active on NOSTR. 6 months since his last activity. nostr:note1qqqt5u295mrk65ahr5qjt44fxfj4l7pdskjuhadlwzjga8jfn8eqqyd4y6
