Just re-upped on my @SoapMiner essentials that get me 99% supplied on all toiletry needs - soap (shower, hair, shaving) and deodorant. next time I order I'm going to add tallow body balm. Currently running through some I picked up locally.

Phew, good thing claude for government is still operational!

I got Claude to build a markdown files layer, projected out of a local nostrdb process that continually pulls down all my notes and anything i've interacted with (reactions, reposts, etc). The upshot: I can open the files as an Obsidian vault and get a fully-backlinked and full-text-searchable view of my whole nostr universe. References, mentions, tags, etc. get converted to Obsidian-friendly links, so backlinks and the notes graph come for free. ....look how dense that obsidian graph is lol. #obsidian #nostrdb

harebrained thought that just occurred to me and i haven't interrogated for more than a minute but i'm publishing anyway because looking stupid in public is fine: The most honest indicator of the State's admission of real inflation rates is to be found somewhere in the penalty + interest charged for paying your taxes more than a year late. Think about it: if they intended to ONLY collect what you owe them and adjust for inflation, they're going to charge you some interest rate plus penalty. If they also want to get yield on it, that will also be in the interest rate somewhere. Hard to say what the breakdown is of the various factors in there, but they've gotta be in there, the numbers won't lie nor be in your favor. Otherwise, everyone would just pay their taxes this year with cheaper dollars next year or the year after. this must be a realer number than the CPI or any other manipulated metric they publish
