Wow, that is a cool mosaic! Takes a lot of patience to do that. You're gonna have an awesome rig there! I converted a 1996 Blue Bird back when I lived in Texas; your countertop projects reminds me a bit

For me, the most impressive statistic here is that there are almost 3,000 people holding stake, which is huge for a relatively new community. Now, I'm not sure how many of those are active participants,

Good Question. I was here (Hive/Steem) in the days of 75/25 and a variety of timing/reverse auction/double payout/linear vs x2 rewards curves... and my primary vote in favor of 50/50 (and I'll add that

Kudos for doing manual curation... I realize that when you hold a lot of stake that can be a chore; on the other hand, I've always felt that the core of "social" is human beings not automation,

I'm gonna wait and see on that particular duck because it gets too close to the philosophical dilemma of "what's more powerful: A Sherman tank or a supercopmputer?" Well... "it depends."

It is a very convincing duck, to be sure. So we have this long-term project that reaches the implementation stage with the release of Covid, which is a "real thing" but not really the actual

That makes two of us... rather disgraceful, really.😕

Weeeelll... I do appreciate you taking the time to run the numbers "just for shits and giggles." I have have run across some of his missives from time to time, and — being Danish like him, and

I'll go back to something I suggested "way back when" and have been suggesting ever since: We need a peer-to-peer marketplace (some combination of Craigslist/eBay/Poshmark etc.) where people

One of the things I often ponder is how our growing self-involvement is contributing to our problems. Whether "good, bad or indifferent," our response/reaction to change agents of any sort is

That's pretty much one perspective of what I fear is happening... specifically that people's brains are also going soft; there is less critical thinking; less capacity to go to a place of that "that's

Oh sure, it's FUDporn allright, and someone is producing it. But has humanity become more gullible over the past 40 years? It seems to me that FAR more people believe it when someone shouts "The sky's

Maybe some things just take a long time to come to fruition. Take MK-Ultra... that stuff was already up and running and having its heyday in the 1950s', 60's and 70's. You'd think that by the time I was

I'm seriously considering an electric mower as a replacement for our aging gas mower. The battery technology is still a bit iffy for something like our 1/3 acre of grass but it's getting there.

That's a lovely garden you have there! Looks like you'll have a lot of cherries. "Slug hunting" has been a major part of how we have kept ours very healthy. We keep a big 20L bucket in the garden

Hi Karen, I insert a little piece of HTML code into my post (sorry, it's an image so you'll have to type it out): where "pull-left" puts the image on the left and wraps the text; you can make

Hi @jaynie, sending love and good vibes; hope you're doing OK!

Yep, that's another good example. I find the worst to be the "innocently inclusive" use of numbers to sow the seeds of suspicion and doubt. Somebody might say "Well, I doubt more than 10%

Thanks for the support; I appreciate it!

Reminds me a bit of something one of my spiritual Teachers once observed: when you look around you, every single person you can see will most likely be dead in a 100 years from now, and most of them will
