Show Notes
A simple flooring project turned into another lesson in why building your own cabin is never as straightforward as it looks. This week I talk through the latest cabin progress, why weather is becoming the next obstacle, and how one overlooked specification completely changed the timeline. Then we shift gears into a conversation about autonomous vehicles, why I still won't climb into a driverless taxi, what years of full-time RV living taught us (both good and bad), and finish with a discussion that's especially fitting before Independence Day: Would the people who founded...

333 loving the #permaculture lessons. obtaining a yield and stacking functions go hand in hand. I'm using plants that the #deer, #rabbits, #turkey and/or i can eat, to control erosion on a #pond wall. flowering #plants may not produce food, but they look nice, feed the #pollinators and play their part in the #diversity. permanerd mentioned creating edges on ponds... take a look at Chinampas, interesting stuff. I'd like to hear more about oshi's dandelion tea... #smij #zapd long note :) #grownostr

333 I had 2 bitaxes from 2 different "manufacturers." fried them both. even tho I didn't overclock. I haven't replaced them. thinking #ln node is next for me. collating data. ;) axeOS is open source and can be downloaded so diy'ers can build the hardware and configure.

333 I use cardboard under #mulch where I want to smother unwanted plants. dry cardboard under mulch acts like a roof and sheds water. with wet cardboard, best to get it good and soaked and keep moist. better yet, shred it before soaking.

1k so... i'm on facecrap and there's this Danny guy going off about some permadude's 'shitty service and the worst communication'... blah blah blah and i'm like: "whoa, man! u gotta #yata!" #smij #zapd #grownostr

333 I've followed John C Dvorak since ZDTV & PC Mag days. I was saddened to hear of his passing. no agenda ep. 1888 is a tear jersey. #smij #zapd #grownostr

333 I played with the different flavors of #linux early on and ran them on thumbdrives so I could just pop in whatever I wanted to play with and boot from there. storage is always mirrored on a couple of matching drives. I struggle with paid off site storage & privacy issues.

1k I encourage everyone to start a farm if possible, take a look at the IRS Schedule F and write off as much as you can. sure, you have to report some gross income, but you can show a loss! year after year, you can show a loss. you only have to prove intent to generate a profit. you can be "bad" at business, and they will let you report a loss. of course, building a profit center is the point, but don't let the irs scare you. you're small potatoes to them. they're going after bigger money bags.

1k the one thing I'd like to see more of regarding the 2nd #permaculture principle is examining one's own #waste stream to slow export of outputs and reduce inputs. not just "recycle", "reuse" but concentrate on "reduce" of inputs and outputs. management of our own waste stream is on each of us. take care of your own shit & it'll take care of you. *** you don't have to read my #hastags *** #smij #zapd #grownostr

1k another great episode, guys. keep on, keepin' on. #permaculture shows us abundance occurs on the edges where systems meet. i think bitcoin is an excellent example of the convergence of energy, money & technology systems. #smij #zapd #grownostr

1k what a great episode. I've been studying #permaculture since jack spirko introduced me to it 15 yrs ago. observation is a big part of permaculture. look at what grows near you, if there's an equivalent you like, grow that. diversity is key. Also, spirko introduced me to dr. ken berry and keto/carnivore/proper human diet. I am one of the "80+ pounds success stories." yes, thats right! I lost 80 lbs eating beef, butter, bacon & eggs. blood work improved. it is the way.

1k most bitcoin shows are boring. this show is fun because of the variety. some bitcoin. some marketing. some day in the life. some nostr. some permaculture. so far good stuff. knots vs. core was interesting to watch on nostr. the hatred over this was palpable. I always add a message in my transactions memos, but some want serious storage. they want to exploit the bloat. either you want to exploit the bloat or you dont. probably oversimplified, but it is that simple. hope this response doesn't generate hate. anyway... #smij #zapd #grownostr

1k introducing #permaculture to #normies should be enlightening for many as much as introducing them to nostr. permaculture, like #nostr finds #abundance on the #edge. #smij #zapd #grownostr

1k thx for the shout out... #smij #zapd #grownostr is my "signature" on #notes. the 1st: "smij" is "jims" backwards. 2nd: zapd, is #pasttense of a #zap. i make up hashtags. ...and everyone knows "grownostr" the #hashtag Jack Spirko encouraged way back when on his podcast... #tsp #gsd #lftn #soe I follow #hashtags to find #people to #follow and use hashtags to be #found. I encourage everyone to use them.
