@Peter Alexander was great on @TFTC talking about what #America gets wrong about China. Peter said something like this, I'd heard before, "China is not a nation, but a culture masquerading as a nation." When we pair this with the old idea that "America is not a nation, but an idea" we actually have a competition between an idea and a culture not between two nations. https://fountain.fm/episode/CvwbQ9Qo7pYyX1JLe8z7

Lunar eclipse!

This week in environmental science we are talking about useful scientific frameworks. It seems to me that most environmental issues require a basic understanding of five primary frameworks: systems theory, ecology, biogeochemistry, socio-ecologcial interactions, and energy flow. I have gone back and forth a lot on this list, and I would enjoy nostr's thoughts on these. #science #asknostr #environmental #envsci

Really enjoyed this, I can wait for a hot water heater that mines BTC and uses my excess solar energy during the day. Then I'd have hot showers and more sats. https://fountain.fm/episode/MtZOjUFFv8hogbRdXgz2 View quoted note →

What is the most plug and play way to set up an at home miner? I generate most of my power off solar. By around 10-11 AM the batteries are full and the panels are idle. I would love to put that extra power to work if at all possible, but I don't have a ton of time to sink into this. Any thoughts? In an ideal world the miner would also be a hot water heater as we currently only heat water when on the grid. #Asknostr #mining #BTC #solar #energy

I am always a little worried about digital book burners, but am also an avid consumer of audio books and 'have' an Audible library. Is there a way to back up audible to avoid the digital book burners? #Farenheit451
