The history of Islam is worth the study. Brings many things together.

Shoes, undergarments, critical tools, even acoustic instruments come in handy.

I've been struck by gratitude today. For electricity... It powers so much, and can be generated in a whole bunch of ways. And mirrors! I realized I take for granted being able to see my reflection anytime I like. What tops your list of modern conveniences you're grateful for? Mine's something like this: 1. Washers 2. Freezers 3. Water pumps/indoor plumbing 4. Trains 5. Cars 6. Sewing machines 7. Lights 8. Telephones 9. Dishwashers 10. Dryers 11. Furnaces 12. Stoves Maybe smartphones, internet, computers, and speakers belong on a whole new list, topped by Bitcoin!

I've tried to do some of this, and get doubles of some of the things that would be hard to make at home. I'm thankful not to need glasses, but if I did, I'd want spares. Switching to reusable versions of some basic supplies helped too.

When you come with something to give, you're not just an audience anymore. I'm still feeling it out too. But it's fun.

If the leaked conversation was even legit in the first place. Maybe it was, as the conversation did seem to go over the reporter's head. But these days you wouldn't even need to set up two phones and send Signal messages back and forth to get those screenshots - you can generate whatever you like.

Not your keys, not your coins, girl. But there's a better way.

I'm getting so used to decentralized, open source tools, the idea of YouTube having a CEO reads as odd!

A song about resurrection. Jesus changes everything.

I've heard the same about recording music. An analog workflow makes you put your all into it the first time, and have the song ready to record, rather than counting on the endless editing that's now possible. Those tools still come in handy, but it's a helpful approach.

If the funds are applied to homeschooling, is it still be their rules? Will they attach more strings? Someday only for approved materials, etc.? I'd say keep your freedom. Gives you far better options.

Or revealed an important vulnerability to fix.

Yes. In Christ, and only in Christ, we are truly free. I hope you keep the pseudonym. It's a tool that has helped many speak more freely for longer and get a message out when people are being forcibly silenced. If the day someday comes when your identity is revealed, voluntarily or not, He'll be with you in whatever comes.

I believe built one.

From Primal, I see you having 769 followers. From Amethyst, it fluctuates all over the place, landing at different numbers. I'm not sure why. Maybe a relay issue? I don't think you've lost your followers, but maybe you need more relays if you're not getting as much response as usual. I'd try a few clients and see what you find. I hope it works out! Your notes are appreciated.

Sometimes when a friend's phone breaks. Or for mailing lists.

We weren't rich, but we found spots near each bed for books. They can be mini libraries all through the home!

I'd love to zap more, but I'll go broke if I send a big zap every time I like a tune of yours (daily)! Congratulations on improving your setup, and being one of these pioneers!

https://armantheparman.com/sats/ This article has some ideas.

Beautiful! Careful how much family info you share, in this crazy world. It's up to you, of course. I'm glad my parents were careful, leaving us the chance to choose our approach once we were old enough to decide. Praise Jesus! Congratulations to you both!

The instructions to the "rich young ruler" challenged the idol he worshipped. Those weren't Jesus' directions to everyone He met, though we definitely are called to give. The resources we have are meant for His Kingdom, regardless of currency. Some currencies are more corrupt than others.

What if you add time travel? What if your dog could come back as your great-grandmother? Kinda already has a bit of that feel.

Ah. A favourite theme of mine! So rich.
