A walnut bench I made a while back with a chainsaw mill. It has a twin also. #grownostr

Just scrolling looking for people to follow. #grownostr

Sunday pic of sunchokes in a lick bucket. This is the first time I've grown them since I was a kid. I also planted some out in a field type area where they will get mowed maybe once a year and be mostly ignored. But if they make it, they will be there if I want some. #grownostr #homesteading #permaculture #preparedness

Regarding deciding between using Fusion 360 and free CAD... For hobby and prosumer use, FreeCAD is the way to go. I will never be cut out of my CAD data, will never be forced to pay for it, and will never have to learn another CAD program. In 30 years, if things hold together for me, I'll likely still be using FreeCAD for my creative inventiveness. As an occasional user doing moderately complex things, that is a big deal. None of these programs are particularly easy to learn, and my goal is not to learn CAD programs, my goal is to do stuff. When Fusion 360 and the like can do that for me, maybe I'll be back. But they won't, because that's not how they are. And FreeCAD is said to run great on Linux. Linux is not my current operating system, but it is my preferred operating system #3Dprinting #Fusion360 #FreeCAD #grownostr

So how do you feel about modern tipping practices? People sometimes enjoy leaving tips. Sometimes they feel obligated and feel bad about either tipping or not tipping. Some services automatically charge a tip. But fundamentally it is a type of price increase. Will people have buyer's remorse and just stop going to your restaurant or taking a rideshare or whatever? If there is going to be a price increase is tipping a feel good way to do it? How do you feel about it? #grownostr

As it turns out, it is still possible to have a human centric business in 2023. #grownostr

I work a cool side hustle. The company I contract with are looking for help around the US, especially in certain metro areas. Minivan/pickup/large suv or trailer required, able-bodied partner needed, also must have the ability to advertise online and sell in person. Hard, honest work. Lots of couples and families have found it to be a good fit. If you are in the US and interested in details, message me. Yes, I can earn a modest referral fee. #grownostr

A Brazilian steakhouse. Truly incredible food. #carnivore #grownostr

There is a difference in the network effect of Bitcoin and Nostr. With Bitcoin, nearly everyone is in the accumulation phase and would prefer the price to stay low so we can buy more, even while we hope it moves toward world domination. With Nostr, we mostly all recognize the power of the network effect and expect to experience significant benefits as it grows, and the sooner the better. #grownostr

Who are/will be the first niche celebrities on nostr? And what will happen when they come and start promoting nostr? #grownostr Oh and #grownostr? Yes, that hashtag was the brain child of podcaster @Jack Spirko who brought over hundreds of active users, if not thousands, with more to come.

The world feels heavy right now. Shout out to all of the people posting beautiful pics, art, food, and other creative stuff on nostr! #grownostr

Nostr feels a lot like the internet was originally intended to work, and in some ways feels very reminiscent of various parts of the early internet experience. However I do feel some significant differences between nostr and the early internet. 1. A lot of the users on nostr are middle-aged. I don't recall many middle-aged people at all being involved in the early internet days. Indeed, many boomers still aren't very tech savvy, and it's been a quarter of a century. 2. This time we know what we are doing. In 1997, the internet existed, but nobody quite knew what to do with it. Sure, there were a few visionaries, but more than anything, there was some combination of dismissiveness, confusion, and fear of missing out, and then the dot com bubble burst, and we still didn't really know what we were doing or what would be possible. 3. This time we have Bitcoin and Lightning enabling even micropayments. 4. This time we have near total internet and device access by most countries at all times around the world. That is to say, the physical infrastructure is already universal. Many of us were still dialing in to the internet in the mid-2000s and even well beyond over a landline phone, sometimes on business computers because we didn't have one at home. +What did I miss? Help me out, and let's talk about it in the comments!

So in the 2008 banking breakdown, some banks were said to be too big to fail. It's been a decade and a half, surely we've gotten this fixed by now... Right??? #grownostr

Still waiting for a seized US bank to get broken up and distributed among smaller banks or other local or regional entities. #grownostr

This is the third year I have tried to start native Rivercane Bamboo. It doesn't look like much yet, but it is growing this time! #grownostr #Rivercane

Today was the day to shovel out the chicken coop. I moved it with my Grillo two-wheel tractor and power barrow attachment since I couldn't get the truck and trailer where I needed it to go. Measured in pick up loads, there must have been about four loads worth. #grownostr #homesteading
