I got 20 lbs of tomatoes at the farmers market and made and canned some enchilada sauce. Yum!

I’ve recently noticed….. AT&T forced retirements this month. Verizon forced retirements last several months. Apple layoffs last month. Cisco, and BlueCross layoffs this week. Fed lowers rate .50% yesterday. #bitcoin is recovering from a slump and is at $63k (from a recent low of $52k). What’s next? What do you guys think? Soft landing? Depression? More of the same choppy waters and inflation? #economy #financialnews #labormarket #tsp #grownostr

#asknostr Who has an Alexa? Is this for real? https://x.com/usa_mag1/status/1827145783902167101?s=46&t=P4G-SvTkZOT1uya1AZT72g

Made peach jelly today after freezing the peaches. #canning #tsp #grownostr #homesteading

Here’s a sick prediction regarding AI. AI will become so realistic that it will be difficult to distinguish what’s real and what’s generated by AI. Politicians will use this as an excuse to require a government-issued ID to get online using biometrics. Your social credit score will restrict your access. The message will be that this is to protect critical systems such as banks and infrastructure from cyber attacks and the general public because things like product reviews, social media posts and news articles should be written by real people. I think there will be a DESIGNED cyber attack that will be the catalyst for this. As soon as we see a large attack, a group of politicians will have a bill ready to submit to require government ID to get online and a private company ready to implement the technology. Here’s a picture of @jackspirko generated by #AI (thesurvivalpodcast.com) that pretty good. It won’t be long and AI will be indistinguishable from reality.

What’s the name of the bitcoin-expert-council guy that @Jack Spirko had on #thesurvivalpodcast. He was on sometime earlier this year on a trial basis.

#asknostr #gardening #horticulture What’s going on with these leaves? They have these rough dots all over.

My first batch of sourkraut ever. Never made it before today. Now I wait. #fermentation #canning #tsp #grownostr

Canned another batch of tomatoes today. #canning #gardening #tsp #grownostr

Why does the price of bitcoin go DOWN when there’s market uncertainty and geopolitical unrest? Shouldn’t the “price “ of bitcoin be inversely proportional to fiat since bitcoin is the opposite of fiat. #Bitcoin represents work, security, flexibility, independence, energy, integrity (purity), transparency. (A bitcoin is worth a bitcoin…..yeah yeah I get that) But we pragmatically assign a fiat equivalent value to it. INFLATION IS DEVALUATION. Turbulent news tends to cause a loss of confidence in the US dollar. So why don’t we see a natural increase in the value of bitcoin when the market dips or becomes uncertain? (Like a see saw - one side goes up while the other side goes down.) I have my thoughts but I want to hear yours without my (perhaps ignorant) opinion skewing anyone else. @Nunya Bidness @Jack Spirko

#asknostr Does anyone have experience working in medical records in the US? I need a copy of my medical records from an ENT office. Surgery was about 10 years ago. I live out of state. I have called the office many times. I have filled out a medical records release form for the office. They either do not call me back when I leave a voicemail or when I do talk to someone they promise to look and promise to call me back, but they never do. I need advice on how to escalate this. Could an attorney be helpful?

WTH? Where’s the privacy in this? Primal wants me to “activate” my wallet with my info before I can zap from it?

Even though I see #Bitcoin as the perfect currency, I’ve come to the conclusion that the world does not. (Breaking news, right? 😆) My heart is all in on #BTC . But I need to be pragmatic. The banking systems are more likely to adopt Ripple (at least in some other countries anyway). So why be a purest and exclude myself from opportunity?.(Which has described me in the past.) It doesn’t make sense to miss out on XRP gains just because I’m a bigger #btc fan. Don’t hate me because I’m practical. I’m just trying to survive and support my family. What do you all think about this. Do your convictions prevent you from divesting?

Is it just me or is a lot of web traffic (443/8443) just slightly slower the last few days? Every website I hit spins just a tad longer before pasting on my screen. lagging just enough to irritate me but fast enough to be fine. Not bad enough to open a ticket with my ISP. (It’s not my router. My speeds still test at nearly 1Gb) #asknostr

Anyone here into #reloading? I’ve got extra projectiles and brass from an estate sale. Happy to ship (usps flat rate) for cheap fiat or btc. I just need to free up space, not make a lot of money. PM me and I can send you a spreadsheet of what I have. I have lots more than what’s in this picture. #dillon #rcbs #handload #reload

Is there a browser plugin that lets you enter a handful of websites and it will scroll through them like a slideshow?
