This trope of paying for opulent forgiveness gifts always seemed deeply unhealthy to me. Don’t even get me started on the folly of engagement or wedding spending as a proxy demonstration of one’s loyalty. Wicked lies sold by marketing hucksters. View quoted note →

Tonight I helped a guy a few miles from me take down a tree that was awkwardly leaning over his house. Used some ropes to pull the top and counteract the lean. Ended up using his jeep to get enough oomf but it fell right along the path of the wedge cut and where we intended to drop it. Next time I’d start with a pulley system for mechanical advantage (photo for illustration but maybe not the wisest setup haha) #grownostr #diy

Why does @Alby hub go down so often? I want a fire and forget solution and don’t want to have to keep logging back in when my server has otherwise good uptime. #AskNostr

Nostr moves so fast I can barely keep up. Something something Ghibli and AI 🤷🏼‍♂️
